So, naisip ko rin po na since kaya naman ng time, parang hindi naman ako aalis ng SB19 dahil may time,&quot; the singer said.</p><p>&quot;Triny ko na ano naman &#x27;yung kakalabasan &#x27;pag me lang, without the ideas of the other members &#x27;yung gagawin ko. Na-inspire rin ako sa ibang members na nakakapag-solo projects,&quot; he added.</p><p>He also detailed the process behind his cover of the Maroon 5 hit track &quot;Sunday Morning,&quot; which was originally a performance for their concert.</p><p>&quot;Gusto ko sana siyang i-perform during our tour before na hindi natuloy so sabi ko sayang naman &#x27;yung na-prepare ko so why not create a cover video na lang din and i-record &#x27;yung kanta. Nilabas namin &#x27;yung &#x27;Sunday Morning&#x27; before &#x27;surreal&#x27; para rin to test waters,&quot; he said.</p><p>With the help of siblings Pablo and Josue Nase, de Dios perfected his two-year-old song from his ukulele lessons. </p><p>&quot;Two years ago nagta-try lang akong mag-aral ng ukulele, out of the blue nasulat ko &#x27;yung kanta. Buo na siya pero &#x27;di pa ganoon ka-perfect. I asked sina Pablo and &#x27;yung brother niya to help fix the song, tinulungan nila akong gumawa ng instrumental,&quot; the singer said. </p><p>&quot;&#x27;Yung &#x27;surreal&#x27; is like a pop song lang din pero &#x27;yung feeling niya mas mabagal ... mas dito ako nag-grow sa pop as SB19. Hopefully, in the future makapag-explore sa ibang genres like sa acoustic, pop-rock,&quot; he added.</p><p>De Dios hopes that people would see the beauty in things that they deserve.</p><p>&quot;&#x27;Yung message ng &#x27;surreal&#x27; is makita or ma-feel ng tao &#x27;yung ganda ng buhay na ine-expect nila,&quot; he said. </p><p>&quot;Using your imagination, makikita mo &#x27;yung positive things sa buhay especially when you have someone na parehas kayo ng vision ng nakikita.&quot;</p><div><br/></div><div><strong>RELATED VIDEO:</strong></div><div><ivs-player data-ivs-key="e8c22c015ca9eafa76f1e3edfa03c603" data-ivs-spid="3001339" data-ivs-vid="2682383"></ivs-player></div><div><script src="https://player.ivideosmart.com/ivsplayer/v4/dist/js/loader.js"></script></div>
