BEN WILLIAMS:
Obligatory Loso from Thailand
?????????? / Pantip (live)
The premise of this one is that he'll shop anywhere with his girlfriend except for Pantip Plaza, because his ex girlfriend has a shop there.
???????????????? / Kei ruk chun bang mai (Live)
A tragic love song
A couple of rocking songs from Jaurim (Korea). I have no idea what these two are about.

LYNA:
2 beautifully 'morbid' songs:
Selamanya by Anggun (Indonesia)
It's the first song in this video. A dark love story. Her lover's passed
and all she wants is for the end of the world, earth to crumble and
swallow her whole forever.
Alhamdullillah from Too Phat (Malaysia)
Alhamdulliah literally means 'Praises to God' though not the typical
preaching song, but rather self-reminding/realization of the rappers
themselves on what their purpose in life is all about.
Excerpts from the chorus:
Ult li albi bissaraha (I'm opening up my heart with honesty)
Hayya nab'idil karaha (Lets avoid the hated and hatred)
Syakkireena a' kulli ni'ma (Let's remain thankful with what we have)
Ba' ideena anil fattana (Let's avoid all lies and sins)
