It’s not often I like a song right away. Even with some of the songs by SB19, whom I post about a lot, I had to listen several times before they grew on me. But there’s just something with the way Dionela articulates the opening lines of Oksihina (Oxygen) that captured my attention right away

rough translation:

If this were the final minute of the world, I’ll use up all the seconds by your side A lifetime is not enough for us A lifetime is too short for me

And when he gets to the chorus? Perfection 🤌

rough tl:

This song randomly going on my yt recos while I'm drawing Andres Bonifacio writing something... and this line stopped me.

Sometimes things just find you.

Us on a Canvas

You are so surreal; what a muse!

To resist your beauty, there's no use.

How could one be such a masterpiece?

I'd be honored to paint a smile on your face; may I, please?

It must be bliss to have made such a work of art ㅡ

One of a kind, evoking profound feelings from any heart.

It's simply unjust to be left hanging in a gallery;

Proudly, I would wear your kisses around my neck like jewelry.

I like to think I'm creative ㅡ

crafting this love's narrative.

Ahead, I see the sun in our future.

With my brightest colors, I'll depict the perfect picture.

ㅡ M.C.

“Eleanor was right. She never looked nice. She looked like art, and art wasn't supposed to look nice; it was supposed to make you feel something.”
