Hanggang Kailan
Orange and Lemons
"Hanggang Kailan" is Orange and Lemons in a more searching, contemplative register — same melodic intelligence, but turned inward rather than outward. The guitar work here is lush and layered, with a warmth that feels almost tactile, like late afternoon light through curtains. The tempo is unhurried, giving each chord change room to breathe and resolve. There's a particular sweetness in the vocal melody that never tips into sentimentality because the delivery stays honest, slightly vulnerable, asking a genuine question rather than declaring an answer. The lyric circles around the uncertainty of love's duration — not fear exactly, but the tender anxiety that comes with caring too much, the desire to know that something good won't simply stop. It belongs to a lineage of classic OPM balladry that values melody above all else, where a well-turned phrase lands with the weight of confession. This is a song for the quiet moments inside a relationship — not the grand gestures but the ordinary evening when you look at someone and feel the full precariousness and preciousness of what you have, and wish you could make it permanent.
