The General Strike - Pugon (2016) / Filipino blues rock
Youtube: https://youtu.be/PE2zGYX4QTw
This song was played in the ending credits of the #HorrorMovie #Nocebo. The entire album slaps and it’s all about the experiences and suffering of workers and labourers. I’ll post the translation in a bit since there’s a word count limit on Mastodon.

“Pugon” (Furnace)
Bars in the windows
A lock on the door
Not criminal
But worse than a prisonerThey are workers
Deliberately caged
Amidst hardship and hunger, suffering and pain
Until one day, befell in tragedy2/🧵
Making a living but instead dying in living
in this ablazing “box” while imprisoned and buried
They turned into ashes inside a factory that became a “furnace”Making a living but instead dying in living
in this ablazed “box” while imprisoned and buried

Hey this is great! Thanks for translating . I’m assuming you have seen Nocebo? I’ve never heard of that one. Is it in Tagalog?
Nope it’s English, it’s an Irish-Filipino production. Most of it is filmed in Ireland and there are some flashback scenes in the Philippines but they’re subtitled.
I like the movie, it goes in really surprising places. I haven’t seen another English-language horror movie covering global south labour exploitation so it deffo gets bonus points for that one.
