Refresh!

When was the last time you dissappeared...

From the life in the concentrate jungles we call "cities".

From everyday conversation that have long become repetitive...

And the rest of those regular scenes?

MEW CONCERT!

In a big, big way
I am really small
I get off my feet
But I'm still distant
Don't you just love goodbyes?

The high-pitch-voice, their song selection especially “Eight Flew Over One Was destroyed” that surprisingly they performed, the confetti, and the right time.

FINALLY!

Penantian menonton Jonas Bjerre dkk sekaligus nonton konser yang worth-watching di tahun ini kesampean! Buat saya, band ini berbeda. Ada perasaan emosional setiap kali mendengar namanya (apalagi lagunya) sejak beberapa tahun lalu. Di playlist, di blog, status twitter, list listening Path, lagu-lagu mereka termasuk yang paling sering muncul. 

Setelah Indonesia kedatangan seabreg band beberapa tahun belakangan, saya terbilang pilih-pilih untuk datang demi menjaga keemosionalan menonton konser dan khususnya menjaga kesehatan dompet. Hahaha.

Tapi saat diumumkan dia akan datang (lagi) ke sini, tak perlu waktu lama untuk saya mengisi form pembelian tiket online dan ke ATM menyelesaikan pembayaran. Lima belas menit setelah mendengar kabar, tiket pun sudah digenggaman. Yes, Mew, you are entitled to get my priorities!

Dan konsernya, meski kali ini tanpa visual yang konon jadi ciri khas mereka, but for me those 17 songs was satisfactory! Dear Jonas, I dont feel alright inspite of these comforting sounds you make! (Comforting Sounds – Mew) *pret*  

 

 If I don't make it back from the city
Then it is only because I am drawn away 

For you see, evidently, there's a dark storm come
And the chain on my swing is squeaking like a mouse

Ps: Dear promotor, how about Coldplay?

The Cardigans Concert!

Ease your trouble, we'll pay them double. 

Not to look at you for a while.

Explode

My another childhood idol, The Cardigans, just held their "Gran Turismo Concert" at Tennis Indoor Senayan, two weeks ago!

The Cranberries!

That was 2 days ago, but i still hipnotizeeeeeeeeed! And Dolores still awesome as her young face that i saw in “Gadis” or “Kawanku” magazines, 12 years ago!

Bakalan sangat berlebihan kalo saya paparkan semua histeria yang saya rasakan ketika menonton The Cranberries kemarin. Hahaha. Mau gimana lagi, lagu-lagunya udah banyak jadi soundtrack hidup sejak jaman SMP!

Too much memory, too many lyrics that stuck in my head, which made ​​me be a big fan of them.

we live on a mountain

right at the top
there's a beautiful view
from the top of the mountain


every morning i walk towards the edge
and throw little things off like:
car-parts, bottles and cutlery
or whatever i find lying around



it's become a habit
a way
to start the day

i go through this
before you wake up
so i can feel happier
to be safe up here with you

Tentang Petang

Sayang jangan pulang terlalu petang. Banyak perempuan jalang haus lanang. Banyak lelaki garang yang berparang. Aku tak mau nyawamu melayang. Jauhilah sudut-sudut hitam pekat. Di situlah sembunyi malaikat jahat. Nyawaku jadi terasa begitu berat. Takut kau tergoda berbuat maksiat
Doaku panjang saat petang datang. Dadaku tak kunjung terasa lapang. Di beranda kunantikan kau pulang. Ayo pacu motormu lebih kencang. Petang selalu menebar banyak jerat. Segalanya jadi tampak begitu dahsyat. Tapi sayang mereka semua penjahat. Kumohon jangan berbuat nekat.
Semua godaan berpesta saat petang. Mereka bernyanyi menari telanjang. Semua hanya mau jadi pemenang. Dan manusia selalu jadi pecundang
