/wish for you at eleven-eleven/
"There's wishbones and clovers and numbers from Heaven
And if you'd ask me, I'd deny that we ended
As much as I know that it's time to forget it
I still wish for you at eleven-eleven
I still wish for you at eleven-eleven
I still wish for you (for you)" - Eleven Eleven by Conan Gray
Itong fourth album ni Conan Gray na Wishbone ay isang malaking comeback niya ng songwriting process niya kay Dan Nigro at combination rin sa mag natutunan niya kay Max Martin sa past album niya na Found Heaven. To be honest, para itong album ay anak ni Kid Krow at Superache pero mas mature na siya. Yearning ang una ko kaagad naisip sa album na ito especially sa paborito kong kanta na "Care" na kahit wala na sila ay may pag-alala pa rin sa mahal niya, which is magandang closing track sa album, showing yung mature perspective ng kanyang songwriting. In a way, nakakarelate ako sa album na to personally especially sa mga nangyari last year up until last September. Anyways, sana mag-concert tour pa rin siya sa Asia lalo na dito sa Pinas although I doubt especially na hindi natuloy yung Found Heaven concert niya dito last year. Pero I still wish na mayroon ulit dito.
Sana magustuhan niyo yung watercolor fan art na ginawa na reference sa mga kuha sa kanya during gus tour at may halo nung production set din. 💙🍀🦴

/the free fall of Icarus/
Last Monday, nakita ko lang yung kuha ni Andrew McCarthy () na "The Fall of Icarus" thru Tiktok and at the same time, napakinggan ko lang by accident yung bagong single ni Requin Chagrin () na "Parachute," at napaisip lang ako kung gaano kabagay yung dalawa especially kung mapanood niyo yung music video nung bagong single (skateboarding). So might as well combine yung three ideas: yung kuha ni Andrew, Icarus, at yung kanta at music video ni Requin Chagrin into one gouache fan art.
Yung kanta itself ay feeling mo lilipad ka or kaya mo gawin lahat, making the music video makes sense. Also, during that time sobrang down ko tas nakatulong yung kanta na yun. The same feeling kapag nakita niyo yung kuha ni Andrew which nagawa yung kuha na kita ang full details ng araw while at the same time, kita ang freediver through physics (45° angle). Bale nagmukhang nagskateboard yung freediver na may wings (same idea as Icarus).
Anyways, worth seeing yung kuha ni Andrew McCarthy at worth listening yung bagong single ni Requin Chagrin! 🪽☀️
