LISTEN: Ben&Ben Just Uploaded the First Draft of a Song They Wrote During the Quarantine

(SPOT.ph) The quarantine has you cooped up at home and chances are high that you've passed the time by binge-watching the latest shows and movies, trying the latest coffee recipe, and yes, even working out. In the case of local indie-folk band Ben&Ben, their members seem to have turned to songwriting while in quarantine. Vocalist Miguel Benjamin Guico uploaded a rough version of the song "Nakikinig Ka Ba Sa Akin?" to the band's social media accounts.

If you look to the left of the screen, you'll see a dog's paw make an appearance. That's member Paulo Benjamin Guico with a cameo (and their dog!).

The band hasn't mentioned an official release date for the song, but they did share the lyrics if you want to sing along!

The chorus goes: "Nakikinig ka ba sa akin? Hindi kita gustong awayin, pareho ang ating hangarin, and kadiliman ay basagin." With everything that happened in the last two weeks, a song about fighting together could be the little comfort you need to get through the quarantine.
