It was designed toi be a tearjerker, it was intense. It escalated and by episode 10 – BAM! That press conference went the opposite direction where I thought it would go. And wow, the epilogue, speaking to the door, it was one of those if you know you know moments. Mind blowing, heavy drama, it was time to write the song,” he explained.</p><p>According to Yuzon, he was able to pen the song in just 12 minutes.</p><div><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/2024/4/23/sponge-cola-drops-new-song-tatlong-buwan-116" id="isPasted">Sponge Cola drops new song &#x27;Tatlong Buwan&#x27;</a></div><p> “I tucked in my wife then I started writing it. The song kind of wrote itself. Kada lapag ko ng words sa music, lahat sumakto — hindi lagi nangyayari &#x27;yun, just one of the magical moments,” he recalled.</p><p>(The song kind of wrote itself. Every word I jot down felt right — it does not happen often, it was just  one of the magical moments.)</p><p>Sponge Cola&#x27;s lead vocalist and guitarist added shared 12 hours later, he was already at the studio recording the song.</p><p>“I recorded guitar, vocals, and backing vocals, and our producer Joey Santos, he is in Singapore, he added an atmosphere, and everything worked out,” he said.</p><p>Like the story of Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Ji Won in the series, the track explores  “a love that was once lost but is now found growing stronger by the day even after going through so many twists and turns.”</p><div><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/07/13/23/watch-sponge-cola-performs-hits-on-its-showtime" id="isPasted">WATCH: Sponge Cola performs hits on &#x27;It&#x27;s Showtime&#x27; </a></div><p>“&#x27;Tatlong Buwan&#x27; is inspired by the love story of the main characters of &#x27;Queen of Tears.&#x27; It helps that it&#x27;s a series; you really get to know the characters. You see why they&#x27;re the way they are. Sociological factors, family ties, trauma. You see how they&#x27;re all shaped and the push and pull of every character. Ultimately, there&#x27;s just so much clarity in the way the narrative unfolds that it&#x27;s so easy to empathize, which makes it easier to feel and easier to write,” Yuzon shared in a statement.</p><p>The song was released with a music video that is set against the backdrop of the key film locations in &quot;Queen of Tears.&quot;</p><p>“I was in my phone thinking if I should shoot the video or not, then the wife of Teddy of Teddy Rocks told me ‘why not go to Korea and shoot it,’ so I took it as a sign. A day later I replied I&#x27;m in Seoul,” he recalled.</p><p>Yuzon explained writing songs that are relatable has helped the band stay relevant in the music scene after 22 years.</p><p>“I don’t shy away from writing TV shows or a series because it is a universal truth. I am a human being and I have feelings and but addressing these feelings I get from shows, automatic it is relatable. You can write about your own experiences and you can be sensitive to other narratives that move you,” he said.</p><div><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/11/22/23/look-karylle-celebrates-husband-yaels-birthday-in-hk" id="isPasted">LOOK: Karylle celebrates husband Yael&#x27;s birthday in HK </a></div><p>He added that songs like “Tatlong Buwan” allow them to gain new listeners from the younger generations.</p><p>“It is a great feeling. Different generations have different responses. Some people are discovering our 20-year-old songs. If it is a universal song or transcends time and space. And it is a great feeling,” Yuzon said.</p>
