KYLIX’s New Single “Another Life” Is Here And It’s About Forbidden Love

Singer-songwriter KYLIX is set to captivate audiences once again with the release of his latest single, “Another Life.” Drawing deeply from personal experiences and the poignant inspiration of Erik Matti's 2001 film Sa Huling Paghihintay, this new track delves into the complex emotions of loving someone you cannot be with in this lifetime. (OFFICIAL LYRIC VIDEO HERE)

“Another Life” is a touching narrative about the promise to pursue a beloved soul across lifetimes, driven by the hope that one day, circumstances will allow for their union. The song beautifully captures the essence of yearning for a love that remains just out of reach, with lyrics that echo the unspoken vows of finding each other again and again, until the stars align.

At the heart of the song is its evocative chorus, which KYLIX delivers with emotional intensity: "There's no goodbye / If there was no you and I / I'll find you in another life / And I won't say goodbye."

Discover A Beverage Sanctuary at Dark Roast Coffeehouse Along Maginhawa Street

Along with the revival of food and drinks discoveries along Maginhawa street, a new coffee shop has opened that offers quality drinks and tasty pastries, introducing Dark Roast Coffeehouse. As the coffee ship culture grows in the country, it's great to see new brands like this to offer something new and refreshing from the usual coffee shop brands.

Created by friends John, Jianne, Krista and Eli, they wanted to have a business that is close to what they love. Being coffee lovers themselves, having a coffeeshop is indeed the way to go. Knowing what people want coffee and the pastries that goes well with it, helped in making the place their beverage sanctuary. And indeed, one may not notice the shop quickly as it is located within TKC Square Building yet easy to spot upon entering.

The coffeehouse feels very homey with comfortable interiors perfect to unwind, work, or hang out with friends. They have simple yet comfortable seats and tables that can cater to single customers up to a group of friends or family. 

The shop just had their grand opening recently after their soft launch which helped them who are their customers and what would they like to have and do inside the store. They are also proud that they offer consistent quality with their drinks which keeps customers coming back.
