After two long years of silence, Silent Sanctuary makes a stirring return with ‘Sagad’—a searing ballad of unrequited love that digs “sagad sa buto at laman” (to the bone and flesh). Inspired by the obsessive passion in Netflix’s You, the Filipino “rockestra” paints a vivid picture of desire, jealousy, and longing in their signature mix of orchestral strings and rock grit.
Released via Universal Records, the track aches with lines like “Sana’y ako na lang sa ’yo” (I wish I were the one for you), echoing the gut-punch of watching someone you love be happy with someone else. Fans got an early taste of the emotional anthem during the band’s live debut at Cozy Cove in Baguio on 5 April.
With ‘Sagad,’ Silent Sanctuary isn’t just back—they’re reminding us why their music still hits where it hurts most.
