Nahan by Nonon Baang, Baritone Nahan by Nonon Baang, Baritone. Lyrics by Levi Celerio and Music by Ernani Cuenco. The song is heartwarming to listen and interesting with its portrayal about love. The combination of the piano and the voice of the man are really good that it doesn’t have any lack of other instruments in the song. The lyrics are good and go well with the music, and the vocal melody is nice, simple, and effective. The playing of the piano in the introduction of the song is relaxing. The quality of the voice suits really well to the type of song and the music. Everything is balance without overpowering each other. The lyrics are about the feelings that have been changed and reminisce the love they had. The transitions and overall atmosphere of the sound is played well. The song says everything what love is all about but something isn’t there. An appealing atmosphere is like the auditory description of love in between which goes from the lyrics that reflects the song. An overall knack to make interesting and seamless transitions is good. Predominately solid piano playing with the exceptional voice grabs me and the rest of it never disconnects me from absorption into the music. The singer's voice is very soothing, and the lyrics are on the whole interesting, and capable of invoking rich imagery in my imagination. The melody of the vocals are not out of synch, but there is something that leads me to believe that the singer has enough raw potential as it is to try and take what he's doing to another level. If the vocal melodies could be more refined, the overall sound would be much closer to completion. The lyrics themselves don't need as much refining, and the delivery is good, but I feel that the delivery can be more than good. The lyricism was enough for me to catch my attention to the song. In overall the music is very appealing and showcases the meaning that it wants to provide
