Cup of Joe’s Lahat ng Bukas, filling our cups full of love

Jhon-Jhon Ortiz

July 7, 2024

When they say ‘Cup of Joe’, we feel their catchy songs and fill our cups full of inspiration and love. Their music pounds every heartbeat we feel–its rhythms and every lyric which touches our mind. 

Just like their 2024 newly released song, ‘Lahat Ng Bukas’ by Cup of Joe featuring Keanna Mag evokes an emotion in us to give anything for the sake of true love. It illustrates a deep sense of connection between willingness and promise. But do these really dive into the concept of offering ourselves for love?

The band’s 2022 ‘Mananatili’, shares the same concept of staying with someone–being in the presence with whom you admire. Those who will willingly offer anything for their loved ones. A promise of assurance to a person who gives you a true definition of what love is.

As love is stumbled upon, emotions speak with ourselves. The COJ’s 2023 ‘Tataya’ also gives similarities in this song as it dives to the depth of willingness and offering our connections and bonds of relationship to someone.

Highlighting the vibes of inspiration and admiration is also the promise in every rhythm of this song. From every word, it resembles a true expression of hope and happiness between two people.

“Lahat ng Bukas” is sharing with us a powerful message of loyalty and consistency. In every lyric, this song expresses a deep love and a commitment to stand and stay with someone no matter what happens. A song which continuously explores every corner of the skies and seeks the stars with a person you truly admire.
