Lagu-lagu Indonesia Inspiratif

Meskipun tahun ini belum berakhir, namun saya ingin memposting 2 lagu yang pada beberapa hari lalu telah pernah saya posting, namun terhapus. Kedua lagu ini adalah lagu yang cukup memberikan inspirasi bagi saya, meski tidak menutup kemungkinan akan ada lagu lain yang sama inspiratifnya dengan kedua lagu ini. Hal ini hanya saya dasarkan pada penilaian subyektif semata, bukan secara obyektif, karena toh kedua lagu ini merupakan lagu yang saya gemari, meski tidak fans dengan artisnya.

Yang pertama adalah lagu dari Sherina Munaf, "Ku Bahagia". Lagu ini adalah OST dari film Laskar Pelangi. Lumayan bagus pesan yang tersisip didalamnya. Silakan menikmati dan menghayatinya sendiri.



Lagu kedua dari d'Masiv. Lagu berjudul "Jangan Menyerah" ini juga merupakan lagu yang menarik untuk didengarkan. Video klip yang menggambarkan lagu ini menunjukkan perjuangan hidup yang hebat. Sesuatu yang sangat menyentuh hati, melihat seseorang yang memiliki masalah yang lebih berat dari kita, namun lebih tabah dibandingkan kita yang mungkin saja dalam masalah kecil saja sudah merasa seperti keadaan kiamat. Saya menyukai lagu ini, meskipun banyak yang menyatakan lagu ini hasil plagiat.



Untuk sekarang hanya kedua lagu ini yang dapat memberika inspirasi bagi saya setiap kali saya mendengarkannya. Semoga saja lagu-lagu semacam ini akan bertambah banyak, sehingga musik di negeri kita bukan hanya jadi musik pasaran berisi cinta melulu. Terima kasih telah membaca.

Heal the World

OK, this is one of the inspiring song to me. It's true, there's love in this world. It must be an unconditional love, to make a better world to everyone. If everyone have it, this world can be like a heaven for us. Just remember how we are when we are still a children. We can accept everyone as our friend without any reason. That's why we must learn about the unconditional love from a pure, little children.

War is meaningless. It's only make a chain of hatred, there's no escape from it. But we can cut it before with some cares to our neighborhood. Let's share love, not hatred.

Our world has been wounded so much. Let's heal it together. For a better future of human races. Let's heal the world.

Just Fly Away

Hello, What,s up! It's me again.

At last I found this song! Yeah!It's one of the Yonekura Chihiro's songs, "Just Fly Away". It's an opening song from Mon Colle Kinght , one of a vintage anime I like when I was a little children. I like this anime, it's funny and refreshing, and I still like it till now. Well, that time there's only a few animes broadcasted in my country. This is one of the best. The song imediately caught my attention.That's why I want to put it in here.

Yonekura Chihiro is also an artist who performing "Butterfly Kiss" from RAVE. She's good in a mellow song. But it's nice when she's perform this song, too.

So, here's the video from Youtube:



Thanks to anthraxleon for the video. Even it's just an AMV.

I also found the lyrics and the translation. Here is the Japanese lyrics. For the translation, you can go through to this link.

OK, that's all. I hope you can enjoy it.

It's a Green Peace

Well, it's not that environment NGO. It's about this song.



"Open Your Mind" By Youko Ishida

It's the song from Ishida Youko. After searching (again) Youtube, finally I found this video. Green is something that very stuck in my mind after seen this video clip. Before I seen it, I thought about a wide green grass plain like in the European village I always seen in TV. But it's not. It's not bad, actually.


She has an angelic voices. I like it. So peaceful.

You can see the lyrics in animelyrics.com.

Feel the breeze wind under your little wings and spread it, fly to the blue sky with freedom. Fly high, touch the blue sky above you.

See you again.

Journey Through the Decade

Hello! How are you? I hope it's fine.

Do you know about Kamen Rider Decade? Kamen Rider Decade is the newest Kamen Rider series in this year. It's the tenth Rider in Heisei Rider series, that's why his name is Decade. Well, I don't know much about it. But I know that Gackt take a part in this serial as the Opening Song Performer. This is the video I took from Youtube:



The video shows a battle between Decade with a monster came upon him from Gackt's back. And in the end of the video you can see an interaction between him (in human form) and Gackt. Gackt is look like some kind of antagonist here, when he attacking Tsukasa (a human form of Decade). But until that, he turn back and going away, leaving Tsukasa alone. Well, maybe he do it because Tsukasa is ready to take an attack to him (maybe Tsukasa think he's a monster, too). The way Gackt launch a single attack to Tsukasa is cool. It feels like he said "you're too fast a hundred years to have a fight with me". That's why he prefer to go and not take a battle with him.

About the song, well, I think I like when he performing "Redemption" than this song. But it's not bad after all. It's still good to hear.

OK that's all. It's time to go. See you next time.

Hitomi Shimatani "Falco"

At last! There's someone put it in youtube! Thanks for dantelamperouge fannimieres.

First time I see this video I just can say WOW! It's mixing Indian music, futuristic style, and techno in one blend. It's quite new I guess.

I like the music, too.

So enjoy the song. See you next time :)

P.S (May, 8^th): Sorry, I've made a mistake with putting a wrong size video. I've fix it now, this one with Spanish subtitle. And I change the uploader since I used another video. Sincerely sorry.

Keita Tachibana's "Friend"

Hello, this is me again. How are you?
I've found (again) one of my fave anime song. This is "Friend" from keita Tachibana. Just hear his voice.


It's an OP from "Blue Dragon". Actually I think his voice's too rough. But it's not in worse level. Maybe because he's rocker. I like the guitar. I also like the part before chorus.

To bad, I don't see any translate version in animelyrics.com.


Ok, that's it for now. See you next time :)

Hello !
How are you today? It's fine, isn't it? I hope it's fine.

After a long time, I'll put another cool song I like from Yamada Yu.


This is the 1^st ending song from Blue Dragon Animation.

Even this song is for a girl, but I still like the song. And the lyrics is also nice.

The song is so cheerful, it's good to change the bad mood.

There's one thing emphasizing in this song. That is "JUST BE U". Yep, it's Just to be yourself. There's so much girls in Japan trying to be someone so they can being accepted in the popular group or some group they like. It looks like there's some pride or prestige to being in such of that group. Well, but the best is still to be yourself. Even there's no one consider yourself now, keep to be yourself.
When someone saying "You're not cool!" or something like that, just close your ears. It's a good habit, I guess.

Maybe no one see you now, but someday there will be some one looking at you. So just be yourself. That's the point!
Keep cheers!

OK, that's all. See you next time!
FLY SO HIGH ~~~

In Memoriam

Sorry, to be honest, if this post is feeling so blue. I've heard from my mom that her mother was died yesterday. My parents from Toraja, and it's so far from Makassar. And there's some condition that our family cannot go there to the burial ceremony. Well, even I'm not really remember my grandma (it has been more than 10 years I never back to Toraja) but I still sad because of it. I feel live is just like an ash, when the winds come it'll disappear so soon. Who knows, when the time they will die?

I remember about the song "Amazing Grace". I wanna put it in my recent post to make me remember how soon the life I have will disappear, too. When the time is come, I only want the Amazing Grace with me before i go to that place.

Bagpipe version.


Lean Rimes' version.

It's only a thing I make to commemorate my grandma. And also reminds me about what is life.

That's all. Thanks for coming and read my blog. See you next time!

Roulette: Aku Jatuh Cinta

Inilah lagu yang dulunya saya kira dinyanyikan oleh Padi. Lagu inilah yang diputar dalam ruang operasi saat saya dioperasi bulan Agustus lalu. Yang saya hapal cuma pada saat refrein saja. Bagian itu yang paling saya ingat sari keseluruhan lagu. Baru beberapa hari lalu saya lihat di warnet judul lagu ini sebenarnya. Setiap kali saya mendengarkan lagu ini jadi ingat waktu dioperasi dulu. Saat-saat diopname, dan saat sudah dioperasinya. Lagu ini cuma sepenggal saja saya dengarkan saat operasi dulu. Selanjutnya saya hilang kesadaran.

OK, silakan nikmati viseo hasil embed dari Youtube (seperti biasa).

(Pernyataan disclaimer: Lagu ini adalah milik Roulette dan perusahaan musik yang memproduseri. Sebagai orang Indonesia yang baik, hargailah hak karnya orang lain dengan membeli yang asli. Lebih enak dengarkan semua tracknya dibandingkan satu lagu saja, kan?).

Lagu memiliki kesan tersendiri karena mengiringi sebuah peristiwa dalam hidup seseorang. Makanya lagu dapat menyentuh hati. Dengan mendengarkan lagu ini saya akan ingat bahwa saya pernah dioperasi (ringan, sih) dan masih hidup untuk bernapas lega (operasinya cuma perbaikan Deviasi Septum doang. Yang kuliah kedokteran pasti ngerti).

Segitu aja dulu. Makasih sudah berkunjung.

Butterfly Kiss

The first song from RAVE the animation. At last there's someone uploading it to Youtube. Thanks! Well, for US audience this song is not available to seen. The US version, called Rave-o-lution use the dub version, which a 100 % different from the Japanese version. HONESTLY, it's so worst to see. The dub version I've seen in youtube some years ago is deflecting everything I've imagine about this anime. Actually it's a cool shounen anime, but the dubbed opening song made it so dumb, clown-like anime.

Hearing the real song is much far better than the dubbed version. Yonekura Chihiro singing it good so it being an easy listening song. The blend of the music instruments in this song create a nice rhythm and beat. This song describing the RAVE world so perfect. Better than the worst dubbed version.

Here's the TV version of this song.


And this is the live version:


The musicians looks like familiar to me. Maybe they're JAM Project, the group that perform "Little Wings", an opening OST from Scrapped Princess. Well, it's just my guess. I don't know it exactly.

OK, that's all. See you next time!

My Pace by Sunset Swish

The longest PV I ever know. The unique one from Bleach. The folk music make it special. I like folk music. It have something that modern music doesn't have. OK, anyway, here is the lyrics.

Hitotsu! Kazoete susumeba ii,
Futatsu! Kazoete yasumeba ii,
Mittsu! Kazoete kangaerya ii,
Mai peesu de susumereba ii

Toki ga nagare tori no kosare
Aseru kimochi wo wasureru nakare
Mubou na chousen shosen muda to
Iwarete akirameru koto nakare

Ofensu! kurushii toki ni
Koso koe wo dashite ikou
Ofensu! jibun ga
Mezashiteru hou e mukae

Sobie tatta ooki na kabe ni
Osoreru koto wa nai
Kotae no nai kono jinsei wo
Mayou koto naku
Keep My Pace

Hitotsu! Kazoete susumeba ii,
Futatsu! Kazoete yasumeba ii,
Mittsu! Kazoete kangaerya ii,
Mai peesu de susumereba ii

Manabu koto no hontou no riyuu
Wakarazu ushinau bokura no jiyuu
Okubyou mono to yobaretemo
Ippo yuzureru sore ga yuuki

Ofensu! Mawari nado
Kinisezu koe wo dashite ikou
Ofensu! kata no chikara wo nuite
Saa mukaou

Itsu no hi nika ryoute wo nobashi

Mayou koto naku Keep my Pace

Hitotsu! Kazoete susumeba ii,
Futatsu! Kazoete yasumeba ii,
Mittsu! Kazoete kangaerya ii,
Mai peesu de susumereba ii

As usual, I took this from Animelyrics.com. I don't get the translation in it. Too bad.

Even I have a bad skill in Japanese Language, from the video I understand it. It's a good PV. The story in it made it more longer than another PV. But it helping to show the meaning of the song. So it's an equal trade.

OK, that's it. See you next time.

Stay away bu L`Arc~en~Ciel

The one and only PV where Laruku dancing like a young man. They're great in para-para dancing. Who guest? But I've heard it's the one and only dancing PV they have. But still it's good.

Pride of Tomorrow - JUNE

Upload in Youtube By Otakuness.

First thing I can say about this PV is: Cool! The dance is cool. Looks like JUNE feel the song with his body, too. I fell the song's meaning by seeing him dancing. The first part of his dance is a regret style. But soon it change to something powerful, like he revive from his lost. The second part of his dance is full of energy.

The song itself have a good meaning. Well, actually it's a common theme in anime's OST. It's about revive from the ground zero to the peak. I don't know if the words "Trying to bury the things that I've lost, I've let go of my pride. I'm going to take it back with my own two hands; I can see the light of tomorrow. Pride of tomorrow" is an analog or it's a real meaning. It's a something that Japanese usually use to describe about revive from the failed step or get the spirit back after failed. Most of anime's OST I've ever known were used this theme. But it's suitable to the anime itself. Because the main character seems like that. Well, I'm not watching D-Gray Man yet. But I've read the resume, and I think to restore from his condition needs a great braveness.

The Pride of Tomorrow, or I interpreting it as "The Pride to seek 'tomorrow'". It looks the one who's in the song has been failed or defeated by something. But he don't wanna to walking in sullen. He instead threw his lost and wake up to revenge it. It's like the main character in D-Gray Man when he get up to revenge Sennen Hakushaku who was killed someone important in his life. Maybe the maker of this anime choose this song because its meaning, just like another anime. And it's important to them, because the song (OST) is kinda preface to the anime itself.

JUNE in his dance is good. I know he's the great dancer from his posture. Only the good dancer have the thin-but-muscle arm and the thin body like that. Makes me remember The Rain.

OK, that's all. See you again :).

A Whole You World

Well, it's maybe an old song, but still good. Performed by Peabo Brysen and Regina Belle, this song was won the Academy Award for Best Original Song. One of the greatest animation original song ever known.

It's 14 now. Happy Valentine, Everyone!

Tomorrow by Shimokawa Mikuni

It's a song from fullmetal.panic! (the first number from "fullmetal panic" series).

I like this part:
"kono sekai ni umareta sono imi wo
kimi to mitsuke ni yukou
itami sae mo kakaenagara
atarashii keshiki
motto tooku made
mukae ni yukou"

In English, this part has been translated as:
"I'll go search with you
For the meaning of my birth in this world
Even while wounded,
Let's go
Even further on
To meet the new scenery".

Well,it's a quite romantic, I guess. Each person must find its meaning in this world. I interpreting this song as a reason why we born in this world. Each men always have their right live partner (suppose to be, this is one of my live principles). When together is better than alone. There's something more beautiful waiting when walking together to the same way than alone or fighting each other because we're walking in a different way. Peace and love is more better than riot and war, right?

I guess I'll answer the girl which singing in this song with my pure heart, because she giving me her truly heart and feeling, too. Well, it's just my imagination if I'm become someone the girl in this song call as "you". Hey, who want to reject it? It's something I think. I don't know when I get a girl like this. I hope she's real.

OK that's all. See you next time. Thanks for read this blog.
