Nilalamig katawan ko kapag naririnig ko itong kanta na ito. It is the one who defines me as being myself

Karera was my gateway to Bini. I was wondering why so many schools would use it as a part of their graduation ceremony and so I had to check it out and boy was I shocked by how good the song was.

SKL I was in a depressive state last April and I just couldn't get myself out of the seemingly deep slump I was feeling and then hearing Karera's message of hope and that life is not a race just resonated with me. That is the beauty of music of being able to put into words and sounds some of the feelings that you have and resonate with the audience. To make them feel connected.

I started to binge watch their MVs and love their songs like Huwag Muna tayo Umuwi, I feel good and born to win and I fell hard into their discography. Then I started watching their chaotic and non-idol image videos and I was just laughing so hard.

I eventually also found their Bini Chronicles and the interviews they made that showed more than their chaotic personality and I just loved them like my nieces that I wanted to see succeed.

You see I don't think I was their target audience as a geeky male who likes anime and robots. I wasn't really into music but somehow I wanted to listen to them.

They inspired me and in a way saved me.

I may be a late bloomer but as I once heard you becoming a fan is just at the right time when they either needed one or you needed them.

Stan Bini PH!

I am a bloom since their SHA days, then as they bloomed with their popularity right now, babalik pa rin ako sa kantang 'to na pinakamalakas ang impact sa buhay ko.

Perfect timing kasi ung song sa akin upon release last year. I quoted it pa nga as my song of the year, I failed (well not exactly failed, but rather conditional and still not able to pass the board exam last May 2023 along with my batchmates) but then I came back stronger and wiser for November 2023 and got my license. The song really fits what I felt the most upon passing my exam.

First time to discover this guy and TBH I like the way he creates his reviews. Pati ung mga thoughts nya from the intro text like napaka metaphorical. Feeling ko parehas kami neto mga genius hahaha.

[caesarpinote]

Dude, ganda ng pagkaexplain mo neto! Karera is my most favorite song of BINI. Lyrics wise at music, top notch talaga at nakakainspire.

Boss pa analyze naman po mga eheads songs

[bobbyv]

thanks for the analysis - I did not notice the ascending and descending chord progressions and what they could represent.
Karera is a masterpiece that has achieved anthem status.

[KaGeeSandamukal]

Ano ba ba't ako umiiyak? Thank you sir! This is a very good critical analysis.

[getriz]

JKent -- Thank you for pointing out that Karera starts with the IV chord. In an ensemble setting, moving from the IV chord to establish the key can require careful voice leading, especially in Bini’s vocal arrangement, where smooth transitions between chords are crucial. If we consider the iii and vi chords as tonic substitutions, the IV chord can resolve to them via the V chord. You are absolutely right—this chord progression leads to interesting ascending and descending cadences that are unpredictable, adding depth and interest to Karera. It is indeed a rare gem and deserves to be preserved in the OPM catalogue. I hope you agree.

KARERA is indeed Bini's top 1 song, sobrang ganda ng mv, melody, message, choreography, at overall na kabuoan.(for me, especially yung soft rap ni oiah🔥☺️)
