Selamat Hari Musik Nasional

Satu lagi demo lagu dr album ke 2 gue yg gue bocorin.
Judulnya “So Near”
Kayanya sih love song, tp menurut kalian gmn?

SO NEAR

Is it so far away
Like those stars at night
Are you that far away
Are you really outta sight

Why d’you have to be near
Why d’you have to be so near
Why d’you have to be so goddamn near

Is it so far away
Let me count my steps
I’m gonna go further away
Please stop breathing down my neck

Why d’you have to be near
Why d’you have to be so near
Why d’you have to be so goddamn near

I gotta get over this really soon
I’m walking in my oversized shoes
Over and over and over again
Smelling your perfume
And it doesn’t smell that good

Is it so far away
The birds in the sky
Are you that far away
We never get the lessons right

Why d’you have to be near
Why d’you have to be so near
Why d’you have to be so goddamn near

Am I that far away
From my exit door
Pretty sure saw one back there
was it just a liquor store

Why d’you have to be near
Why d’you have to be so near
Why d’you have to be so goddamn near

I gotta get over this really soon
I’m walking in my oversized shoes
Over and over and over again
Smelling your perfume
And it doesn’t smell that good

Is it so far away
But it’s my favorite smell
Yes you are far away
And i guess time will tell

Why d’you have to be near
Why’d you have to be so near
Why’d you have to be so
Why d’you have to be so
Why d’you have to be so goddamn near

It’s one of those 1am posts.
Love Tom Waits, love Joni. Mixed them both.
Enjoy

This is my Valentine’s gift to you. Put a pair of headphones on your loved ones’ ears. One of my love songs in my 2nd album

Is it so far away
Like those stars at night
Are you that far away
Are you really outta sight

Why d’you have to be near
Why d’you have to be so near
Why d’you have to be so goddamn near

Is it so far away
Let me count my steps
I’m gonna go further away
Please stop breathing down my neck

Why d’you have to be near
Why d’you have to be so near
Why d’you have to be so goddamn near

I gotta get over this really soon
I’m walking in my oversized shoes
Over and over and over again
Smelling your perfume
And it doesn’t smell that good

Is it so far away
The birds in the sky
Are you that far away
We never get the lessons right

Why d’you have to be near
Why d’you have to be so near
Why d’you have to be so goddamn near

Am I that far away
From my exit door
Pretty sure saw one back there
was it just a liquor store

Why d’you have to be near
Why d’you have to be so near
Why d’you have to be so goddamn near

I gotta get over this really soon
I’m walking in my oversized shoes
Over and over and over again
Smelling your perfume
And it doesn’t smell that good

Is it so far away
But it’s my favorite smell
Yes you are far away
And i guess time will tell

Why d’you have to be near
Why’d you have to be so near
Why’d you have to be so
Why d’you have to be so
Why d’you have to be so goddamn near

Racun tak berkesudahan dari kali ini datang dalam bentuk snare drum dengan merk Ludwig vintage dengan ukuran yang gak lazim (buat gue) yaitu 15”x 7”
Direkam dengan microphone iphone 7 busuk.
Mnrt gue karakternya solid, fatness-nya kerasa (mungkin krn kombinasi ukuran lebar dan ketebalan), tapi ttp ada warmth, mungkin karena bahannya maple. Cocok buat yg mau sound snare tebal, berisi dan semog ala-ala Michael Bolton.
Saya s**a. Makasih mas Aji!

Kalau kalian punya album kompilasi produksi Aksara Records di 2004, JKT:SKRG yang diproduserin dan gue (ko-produser), pasti kalian jarang memutar track terakhir di album ini, wajar, karena band ini gak dikenal dan durasi lagunya lebih dari 10 menit.
Ceritanya menarik, dan gue di studio sedang gabut krn ada band yg terlambat datang ke Pendulum Studio untuk rekaman. Akhirnya ngomong “le lu ada lagu gak? Buat nambah2 pengisi album nih” Gue jawab “ga ada, tapi bisa gue tulis sekarang sih”
Gue akhirnya persiapkan sebuah gitar Teisco busuk yang senarnya karatan, pinjam bass Hamer/Kramer lupa, dari dan langsung rekam lagu ini saat itu juga. Jadi gue mengisi vokal, gitar, bass dan drum (terpaksa krn gak ada orang lain).
Kebetulan saat itu gue lagi menggilai genre spacerock/ambient rock/postrock, apapun itu namanya. Band2 seperti Spiritualized, Godspeed You Black Emperor, Silver Mt. Zion, tapi yang paling terutama, !
sempet bilang “panjang amat lagunya”, tapi sekonyong2 datang ke studio dan langsung muncul ide untuk menduetkan dan untuk berolah skill vokal di sebagian banyak lagu sampai ke akhir. Walaupun kadang terdengar seperti lagu Pink Floyd “The Great Gig in the Sky”.
Akhirnya mereka berdua masuk booth rekaman dan hanya dengan menggunakan satu microphone, dan berhasil menyelesaikan battle vokal ini hanya dalam satu take.
Dengan total pengerjaan 3-4 jam, akhirnya lagu yg gue beri judul “Meter” ini berhasil menjadi penutup album legendaris JKT:SKRG

Semoga 2021 ini gue bisa rilis album, dan demo ini akan masuk kedalam album kedua gue tersebut.
Komen dari kalian akan sangat dinanti.
“Lagunya tentang apa om?”
Jawaban gue cuma “tentang kesinisan gue aja”
Mohon didengar dengan headphone untuk kualitet yg lebih hakiki
