entry arrow12:45 AM | A Farewell

It was a bittersweet farewell for many Silliman University graduates this March, simply because they never got to say any, nor did they even get a graduation ceremony. Their goodbyes were hurried, vastly incomplete, or absent -- all forced to take immediate leave because of a pending lockdown. Imagine the culmination of four years of college, and you didn't even get to feel the fabric of a toga. It was the same for the undergraduates, too. They never even saw Finals Week happen. This is what makes John Martin Ferraris' farewell video at once nostalgic and melancholy. He takes the musical cue of a popular heartbreaking tune, and transposes it on images of an empty campus. Listen with headphones, and prepare for your heart to wallow.
