According to guitarist Erwin “Armo” Armovit, that thier latest single is all about the overflowing, overwhelming joy of being fully yourself with someone and this was written from a sincere, heartwarming place.
“Love is an exhaustible source of inspiration that takes countless forms: and songs are stories set to music. Ever person experiences love differently, but ever person experiences love”
“Labis-labis” works beyong its gloriously cinematic chorus and inescapable verses, the song is specifically made to everyone and to describe every different moment – it’s short, but is enought to tell the story of people’s experiences around us, mose especially those that chose to accept and reciprocate love in vaious shapes and forms, regardless of its possible consequences.
“It’s the gleeful feeling of excitement upon seeing someone you love, after being awar for so long. Or even just after a brief period. That’s tha magic of the song,” Dilay said.
Spong Cola’s recording of “Labis-labis” turned out to be fun, even if it has undergone the most transformations compared to the songs they previously worked on
