myself & niko @ magic island, honolulu - hawai'i

xoxo

I didn't know Niko very well, but I wanted to do this for him.

I purposely left it bare. Everyone should sing and play along! I figured after the verses maybe people could sing "honeyboy" or read something over the uke but whatever works! Also, the uke is a bit off at parts, but I can redo it if needed!

RIP, love.

take these holes inside our hearts

and fill them up with honey tonight

yeah, whoa

and even though your time here's through

i know that you'll stick to us like glue

yeah, whoa

i made this for niko and inky. it's not much, but i couldn't stop crying and wanted to channel my grief into something uplifting; i barely made this, it sort of just made itself, but. i wanted to make you both a sunrise, out of niko's candle flame. never before have my heart and art overlapped as much as they are with this. as it fell into place, my tears dried, and a profound feeling of thanks rose in their place. RIP niko, and THANK YOU both for shining on me. <3
