about

"Mali” is about limerence whose title comes from the Tagalog word for “wrong” or "mismatch".

This song captures the feeling of unsettled desire and intrusive thoughts about a limerent object. While ruminating and grieving about what didn’t happen there is a layer of uncertainty and skepticism about how to move forward with friendship.

Here the kulintang takes on an accompanying role while the driving guitar points down the winding road of country rock, with writer Eirene Cloma drawing inspiration from childhood favorites like Blue Rodeo.

lyrics

I’m doing alright
dying on the vine
Heard you’re no longer with them
and I can’t get you out,
Let you in
Without a doubt

I want us to win
I want us to win

Take it to the city,
middle of the road.
Lonesome with a whisky why
must I build you up,
Turn you down
Lost in a crowd

I want us to win
I want us to win

Gonna let you go
Gotta let it be
Figure out what you mean to me
I already know, I might be wrong

Mali, mali, mali
Mali, mali, mali
Mali, mali, mali
Mali, mali, mali

One of a kind
More interest than time
I find a way to stay
close, cause I
Need a friend
To remind me of me

I want us to win
I want us to win

Gonna let you go
Gotta let it be
Figure out what you mean to me
I already know, I might be wrong

Mali, mali, mali
They got you feeling so tired
Mali, mali, mali
I see you try
Mali, mali, mali
I lay here and I wonder

Should I let you go
Gotta let it be
Figure out what you mean to me
I already know, I might be wrong

Mali, mali
Mali, mali

Gonna let you go
Gotta let it be
Figure out what you mean to me
I already know, I might be wrong

Mali, mali
Mali, mali

I already know, I might be wrong
