Vilmark Viray, who’s one of the finalists during the fourth season of The Clash, recently released his second song titled ‘Lisan‘. The heartfelt ballad track is dedicated to the memory of his father who passed away in December 2022.

In conjunction with the release of this brand-new song, Vilmark just held a Zoom media conference on April 27th, 2023. During the press conference, Vilmark elaborated on the meaning behind the song by discussing the circumstances surrounding its creation. According to him, he wrote the song from start to finish in a single day, just following the passing of his father.

“Natapos ko ang kanta in less than an hour. Imagine the emotions I put on this song and sana magustuhan nyo ang kanta. The message of the song is about grief and loss. It’s also a song of hope na whatever happens in our lives maraming challenges and difficulties, maraming reasons to move forward at kakayanin naten.”

During the media conference, he told the press who were there the story of how he had lost his father and the emotional pain he had experienced as a result of losing a loved one. Regarding the creative process of writing and composing ‘Lisan’, he says that “I believe pag nasa peak tayo ng emotions, nakakapag come up tayo ng magagandang songs. I wrote ‘Lisan‘ during the first night ng burol ni papa. For this new single, parang tinulungan ako ni papa na ibigay yung mga right lyrics and right notes.

Vilmark expresses his gratitude and awe for being given another opportunity to perform his music on a massive scale with the support of GMA Music. “I’m just really blessed with the support and assistance that binibigay sa akin ng buong GMA Music family, I really wanted to release this song kasi I dedicate this to my father and I believe ito ‘yung perfect timing sa career ko to do something for him.”

Vilmark is confident that his father will be proud of him for following his dreams and pursuing his goals. Aside from being an electrical engineer, singing has always been his true passion. Vilmark has high hopes that everybody who has the opportunity to listen to his music will be able to empathize with him and understand what he is going through. When he was competing in The Clash, his mother and father never missed an opportunity to cheer him on and show their support. It is only right that he should dedicate this song to one of the most significant persons in his life.

‘Lisan‘ can now be streamed and downloaded on all music streaming services and download sites.
