The video is about longing for someone you can't be with anymore. Driving through the streets, he's reliving the past where he couldn't save the girl. He thought of a scenario where he saved her, so he brought her to a room. The room represents his life... Broken, empty and dull which only comes alive whenever he remembers her. He becomes addicted to his memories of her, that's why he tied her up so as not to lose her again. At the back of his mind he knows that he lost her already, so he created a world where she exists, and locked her in it. But in the end, he was the one who was locked in it.

The fact that Buwan became a global sensation implies that you don't need to immerse in the Filipino culture to appreciate the song -this masterpiece by a Filipino artist is well-crafted and now being covered by different artists around the globe. But if you are a Filipino - this song will take you back to your root and enjoy the sweetness of the experience with a San Miguel Beer pale pilsen while resting on a hammock hanging between coconut trees. Truly, one can resonate in myriads of ways (from high school/college days, inuman and singing sa kanto, head banging at any filipino bars, filipino psycho-emotional expression etc)

Buwan means moon. Luna=Lunatic. The guy is just imagining the girl because he misses her and longs for her. BTW, thank you for reacting. ☺

JUAN KARLOS sang “BUWAN” w/ so much angst and raw emotions typical w/ his forever-longing of fatherly love as an adopted child. Bravo, young man!

I don’t know why all these Filipinos keep pushing that the female died. There are zero indications that she died. The story is more that the guy was possessive and obsessed. That’s what the significance of the girl being tied up. However she left him and he’s alone and perhaps have gone crazy and imagining still being with her. That’s why in the end it was him who was tied up in the chair signifying it is really him who’s trapped in a relationship that doesn’t exist anymore.

Ito ang kanta na hindi nakakasawa kahit paulit ulit pa ( Buwan ) pa more😊😊😊

When my first time i hear buwan on the radio, i immediate said it is a blues in a blues scale, i am a few filipinos who loves the blues... I love the song... With a twist of kundiman in lyrics...

Buwan is my favorite now...pilit kong ginagaya haha..kapag paulit ulit mong ginagaya ma gets mo rin ang lyric at tunes...ganda talaga love it😍

So proud of this young man, he also wrote that song🤗

Napaka sexy tlga ng kantang to, yung batuhan ng lyrics at ng tono . Kakaiba..

I love the music, his style, emotions, hahaha! He's like telling his story,

I love this song so much by jk ..from Oslo norway laging pinapatugtog nmin ksma ng friends kong foreign

Thank you guys,Juan Karlos is a very good singer although he is still young...His voice is unique...indeed a talented and good looking singer

Usually here for one ok rock and bigbang but yaaaas OPM for the win! Glad you liked it guys! Buwan means moon. The official message of the MV haven't been released but fans speculate that its somehow relates to addiction. Some have theories that's its about an obsessive kind of love as moon which also means luna could be related to lunatic. If you haven't notice in the video, the girl isn't actually there, everything was all his delusions. Juan Karlos or JK is a great singer-songwriter! And he's so young, he's only 17! He's one of those stepping up the game in the OPM scene in the Philippines recently. This song is so famous in PH.

Thank you so much for the awesome reaction of Juan Karlos, one of our new OPM singer from the .Philippines..

in every song he writes... it represents his feelings ... and it comes out naturally with lots of emotions

Buwan = Moon The moon to me represents melancholic longing, secrets, saudade and sometimes obsession. The song perfectly represents the 🌕 emotionally. Very beautiful.

Thanks for supporting our baby Juan Carlos... ❤️

Due to his obsession of loving her, he does not give the girl freedom of her own to do what she wants and what she is happy with, the girl is tied up for the guy's over protection. At the end , he ended up losing the girl she loves and just keeps on imagining and reminiscing their happy moments with her, To conclude, this is all about too much love that can kill us.

I’m so happy that“BUWAN” is available on iTunes !! ✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻

Buwan is actually about being addicted to a substance, where it is represented by the girl. The MV actually screams alot of dicotomy about being happy when having a hit to being so scared of taking it again. The psychidelic color projection. The girl being tied meant that he is in control of it but later in the video, he's actually the one tied to the addiction.

Here's english trans ----❤️❤️❤️❤️----- I'm yours, you're mine You're beautiful in my sight Now I'm here alone I hope you'll come by my side Underneath the white light Under the yellow moon Listen to my scream Under the yellow moon I don't want to live lonely You're my happiness And the one I'll be with until we're old Come let's lay down (where?) Underneath the white light Under the yellow moon Listen to my scream Under the yellow moon Your beauty that reaches the moon The heartbeat can be heard within the universe And then coming back to me You're the love You're the only one I'll love Listen to my heart and feelings Sense my feelings. 👌💕

I was curious of what your reactions will be.. but I ended up just watching the video and just listening to the song unyil the end.. Thats how i was into the song.. JK at his early age he can express and make a song that has so deep meaning in it.. The usage and selections of words were so Impressive enough to caught attentions of listeners especially us Filipinos who understand the laguage.. lyrics were so simple but you can feel the passion, the longing, the love, and emotions that were meant to be told in the song... He brought us back to the 90's where this kind of genre is what we loved back then.. thats why right now.. age of all brackets is singing this... The meaning of the song is speculated by the other commentors.. read it so u can have an idea about the song too..

I love the comments about his voice U earned what u have

I love having the folklore twist into it. The girl being a succubus and that the guy is addicted and obssess to her that it's messing his mind :)

Beautiful, artistic, and unique. The title "Buwan" means moon or Luna in Spanish. Luna denotes lunatic- crazy or going crazy. So the song and the video has a double meaning. That's why the video is so dark and difficult to comprehend. It's about longing for a girl that he "lost" and remembering there past good memories. It's more like the 70's and 80's rock (Queen, Eagles) where the song is satirical.

Underneath the white lamp light The yellow moon Come and listen to my cry To the yellow moon Your loveliness Reaches to the moon The beat of my heart To space, it echoes on And it comes right back Back right here to me You're the one I love You're the one I'll always love Listen to my heart and feel Feel what I feel Underneath the white lamp light The yellow moon Come and listen to my cry To the yellow moon Underneath the white lamp light The yellow moon Come and listen to my cry To the yellow moon La la la la la La la la la la la Listen oh listen oh listen Listen to my cry oh my love To the yellow moon

"under the white light and the yellow moon"

Hi guys it is actually a good love song. He expressed his admiration to this lady that her beauty reaches out to the moon (buwan) and that hopefully they will stay together til they get old. :-)

As you can see on the first part. They were lovey dovey all over the place. They are always together. But on the latter part, it went back to the part showing that all this time, he was really alone. And just imagining she was with him. You can say he's going crazy because he misses her. Buwan or Moon or Luna. LUNAtic - BUWANg is crazy.

When i heard the song for the first time it really captivates me and it reminds me of river maya band..this is my thoughts thou😅

I think, the girl being tied up in a chair is a metaphor for him, unable to let her go (even in memory). I think the girl is long gone (due to an accident, maybe? Bcoz of all those shots in a car and him, saving her on one scene). He argued with her because she doesn't want her to get hurt and go away. Hence, that scene where they're in a dark room. I think it represents his desperation to keep her but in the end, he's truly the one being tied up in a chair. Because he's trapped in the illusion that he's still with her. Besides, buwan is the filipino term for luna (moon) which is often correlated with being insane, explaining his behavior on the video. Hope that helped. Love you guys. Stay adorable and sassy

The song entitled the moon or buwan in filipino. It is a song of depression or traumatic experience that leads to a syndrome of being alone.
