Ben&Ben - Sa Susunod Na Habang Buhay | Official Music Video

The music video, which stars Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla, is a collaboration between the band, its “resident director” Jorel Lising, and spoken word poet and screenwriter Juan Miguel Severo. 

In it, the real-life couple are two lovers who are caught in a time loop which resets after one of them dies. One of them, however, retains all the memories of their past relationship – including the painful ones.

Lyrics

Kaya namang makayanan kahit pa na nahihirapan

Kahit lungkot, dumaraan 'pag natuyo na ang luha

Parang nahipan ang 'yong kandila

Init ay wala

Hindi ba pangako mo nu'ng una, tiwala'y iingatan?

Baka naman, sa susunod na habang-buhay, ha-ay na lang

'Di talaga inasahang magkagulo't magkagulatan

Tahanang pinagpaguran, sa'n na napunta?

Hindi ba pangako mo nu'ng una, tiwala'y iingatan?

Baka naman, sa susunod na habang-buhay, ha-ay

Hindi ba pangako mo nu'ng una, tiwala'y iingatan?

Baka naman, sa susunod na habang-buhay, ha-ay

At kahit nabago na ng oras, ang puso ma'y nabutas

Ikaw pa rin sa susunod na habang-buhay, ha-ay, ha-ay

Ikaw pa rin ang pipiliin kong mahalin

Sa susunod na habang-buhay

The idea of a love that goes beyond a single lifetime isn’t new to Severo. He has, of course, written the play Hintayan ng Langit, which is about ex-lovers who cross paths in purgatory. The play was later adapted into a movie. 

Instead of the afterlife, Severo thought of a couple stuck in a time loop. “What if every time one dies, they go back to their first date with one of them carrying memories from their previous run?” he said. 

Severo, Lising, and the band held online meetings before finally pitching the idea to Kathryn and Daniel. 

Lising opted for “non-linear, fragmented storytelling” for the video. The shoot itself didn’t take long, he said, partly because Kathryn and Daniel were on a tight schedule and mostly because adjustments were few and far between. “Every frame we took of them has a strong presence that comes with lots of experience, especially since they’ve been acting for so long now,” he said. 

“Sa Susunod na Habang Buhay” came out in February 2020 and was the first single released after the album Limasawa Street in 2019.
