Touching down on a political, yet hopeful topic, Do Not Delay managed to create an ambience both nostalgic and optimistic, adhering to what the song is really about. The riffs remain bright and catchy all throughout, playing with the vocals harmoniously.
Utilizing the childlike name of “Dahlia”, as well as the flower counterpart evident in the track’s cover art, seal everything up nicely, from the vibe as a whole to the message they want to deliver. According to the band, this is a song that is essentially about nurturing the youth and giving importance to the factors aiding them, namely education.
“Himbing mo ang dalangin, ang nais na kapiling / Lampas langit at di na hihinto” emphasizes the message of nurturement and overall care greatly; it’s a timely and relevant thing to discuss in the Philippines, as the underminement of the younger generation prevails, as well as violence in general.
Production-wise, the song highlights every element, from the separate instruments to the layers of vocals. Nothing outshines another, making it well-balanced. The only flaw? It isn’t long enough. Though, it ends in an unexpected spot that makes it unique, at the same time it’s guaranteed to make listeners yearn for more.
Check out this another amazing track from Do Not Delay—seriously, do it now and do not delay it. Procrastination is for laundry, not for bangers like this. Trust me, it’s worth the listen!
