The band got the name from the word Dharma. In whatever case, it is a law that connects everything in existence no matter how diverse they are. This is how the band explains their music, having rather dissimilar musical influences that results into a dynamic sound that still meets halfway as it appeals to a certain group of listeners almost everywhere.
Up Dharma Down is composed of Armi Millare on keyboards, vocals and rhythm guitars, Carlos Tanada on lead guitars, Ean Mayor on drums and Paul Yap on bass.
The band has won various awards since 2005 - and most recently they won Vocalist of the Year, Album of the year and Artist of the year at the 2009 NU Rock Awards.

Up Dharma Down Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Gumugulo sa buhay ko
Bawat nakaw tingin
Sinasalo lang ng hangin
Minamasdan
Saya ng puso mo
Sa piling ng iba
Inaasam
Ang paglaya ng buwan
Na laging mag-isa (oh)
Ano na naman itong
Sinusuyo ng luha ko
'Di na tatawag ng pansin
Mawawala nalang sa hangin
Inaasam
Saya ng puso ko
Sa piling ng iba
Minamasdan
Paglaya ng buwan
Na laging mag-isa
Oh oh
Oh oh
The lyrics to Up Dharma Down's song Luna are full of emotional depth and complexity, as they touch upon themes of longing, sadness, and the pain of unrequited love. The singer reflects on the tumultuous nature of their life, as they struggle with the weight of unfulfilled desires and the knowledge that the person they love is happy with someone else. The phrase "Ano na naman itong" emphasizes the sense of frustration and desperation the singer feels. They feel like they are constantly being thrown into emotional chaos and are powerless to stop it.
The image of the moon, or "Luna," serves as a metaphor for the singer's feelings of isolation and longing. Just as the moon is always alone in the night sky, the singer feels isolated and disconnected from the person they love. They long for the "paglaya ng buwan" or the freedom of the moon, but their desires and emotions are always held captive. The repetition of the phrase "Mag-isa" emphasizes this sense of loneliness and isolation.
Overall, the lyrics to Luna are poignant and powerful, capturing the complex emotions that come with unrequited love and yearning for something out of reach. The use of metaphor and repetition adds to the emotional impact of the song, making it a powerful piece of music that resonates with listeners.

Ano na naman itong
What is this again?
Gumugulo sa buhay ko
Threading through my life
Bawat nakaw tingin
Every stolen glance
Sinasalo lang ng hangin
Is caught by the wind
Minamasdan
Observing
Saya ng puso mo
The joy in your heart
Sa piling ng iba
Being with someone else
Inaasam
Hoping for
Ang paglaya ng buwan
The moon's freedom
Na laging mag-isa (oh)
That is always alone (oh)
Sinusuyo ng luha ko
My tears are pleading
'Di na tatawag ng pansin
No longer calling for attention
Mawawala nalang sa hangin
Will just disappear into thin air
Saya ng puso ko
The joy in my heart
Oh oh
Oh oh

UDD is one of the best OPM band in the Philippines. Sad to say that they are so underrated despite all the good songs they made.
@talimbeingaverythriftyghor5967
Before 'Buwan', we have 'Luna' (a song all about how lonely the moon is)
