After reviving an old band, Overhang, created in 2017, three UP dental students Nathaniel Kyle Adrian Delfin, Alicia Jane Bracamonte, and Victor Emmanuel Ablan joined a music competition hosted by the Association of Pacific Rim Universities.
In the next 2 weeks, they discussed the vibe for the song, made the lyrics and beats, and recorded their own voices at home with no professional or high end equipment. They spent sleepless nights finishing a song and a lyric video that would capture everyone’s sentiments in the COVID-19 pandemic and society’s other social issues. The three students wanted to give hope and positivity through the song and inspire others to take a stand and rise up on the issues. After their hardwork and effort to come up with an original song entry to this competition, the three finally produced Overhang’s first song, “Six Feet Apart”.
The group was officially announced on July 13 as one of the representatives of the Philippines in this contest and will be up against other universities from other countries. With the ongoing fight against COVID-19 and the injustices happening in the world, the song, Six Feet Apart, is the group’s ode to the fearless heroes who strive to stand up to these issues and make a positive impact – big or small. It is meant to salute and praise those who continue to fight the good fight in the frontlines and in the streets amid the odds.
