Dropbox Vol. 1 is a compilation of art songs reflecting on the life of a modern college student in urban Manila. Given only a  few weeks to write and with different people composing, the overall sound and concept became diverse. Each song in the album is inspired with a variety of perspectives and ideas; from waking up late and facing the absurd traffic of the city to almost breaking from the brink of exhaustion. It is an imperfect passion project with unexpected outcomes and charm that only amateur, aspiring musicians can ever claim to be their own.

Back To You

That Love

Ohabart

Sarado na ang tindahan
Wala nang pagbibilhan ng yosi 
Dibale wala na ring barya
dibale wala rin mga tropa

Sandaliang panahon 
Wala na ba

Hindi mo ba napapansin ang pagbabago
Hindi na babalik yung dating mga panahon
Kahit ilang bote ng alak ang ialay mo
Kailangan ko pang magdusa 

Sa opisina
Sa pabrika
Sa silid na ginagawa
At sa kalsada

Ohabart

Lyrics

Waiting by the elevator doors
waiting for my ride out of here
never knowing 
what's on the other side

It opened up
and I saw you there
pretty as can be
oh you look so beautiful

I waived to say hello
you looked back 
and smiled at me
oh my heart just fell right out

We talked for a while
before I left you there
I wish I stayed longer
with you

The Stars they shine so bright
but not as bright as your eyes
Oh I could just look at them forever

As beautiful the world could seem
its not as beautiful as you are to me
you're like a flower in Eden

My heart resides in you
oh beautiful you know its true
the way I feel around you 
is something you can't make up

I have no ill motives
and I just want to love you
you don't seem to notice
oh you don't notice me

Residence (demo)

Zeke the sloth
