Have you ever been in love with someone who is physically distant? If so, the song “Distansya” may speak to you.
Rob Deniel and Janine Teñoso beautifully tell through music that distance need not be a hindrance to love. With those in long-distance relationships, especially in the era of online dating, the lyrics cater to them.
“Distansya’y ‘di hadlang, lalapit-lapit lang sa’yo,” the song declares. It hums the determination of lovers who will go to great lengths just to be together. “Ilang hakbang pa ba ang dapat hakbangin? Makapiling lang kita, marinig lang ang ‘yong himig.” You won’t feel weary when you’re heading towards the person you find comfort.
Whenever I listen to “Distansya,” it brings comfort and assurance. Despite the physical separation, I know my partner loves me and would do anything to bridge the gap. It’s a reminder that I am the one they want to be with until the end.
The song’s rhythm, with its distinct Rob Deniel style—utilizing drums and guitar—is alluring at its best. Both artists showcase their vocal prowess, hitting high notes and harmonizing flawlessly. “Distansya” truly transcends it is proof that love goes way physical boundaries.
To all those navigating long-distance relationships, I encourage you to listen to “Distansya.” Close your eyes, feel the connection, and let it defy the miles that separate you.
