"Minsan" is a song by the Philippine alternative rock band Eraserheads from their second album Circus (1993).
Composition
The song is described as a nostalgic tune “fitting enough to be a graduation anthem”. Written by Ely Buendia, it mentions Kalayaan (translated as “freedom”), a dormitory building where he stayed while studying at UP Diliman.[1]
Buendia later debunked theories that the song was about his friendship with his bandmates in a podcast interview in 2021. “That song was actually about my actual friends — the friends that was with me during my stay at Kalayaan,” he said.[2] His further comments that he was never close with his bandmates sparked online backlash, to which he responded: “The music is all that matters, have you forgotten about that, and who wrote most of it? Just sayin'.”[3]
Drummer Raimund Marasigan responded to Buendia's online comments by confirming that they only have a working relationship. “We would meet and play and jam,” he said, “and you don’t need to talk when you’re jamming. Meron din namang connection din 'yon (There’s still a connection).”[4]
