Aku Masih Sayang - ST12



Lagu ini pertama kali saya dengar ketika diputar di sebuah radio swasta yang tidak terlalu terkenal.SAya suka lagunya, karena punya cengkok pop bercampur melayu. Senangnya lagi, penyiar radio tersebut terus memutarnya nyaris setiap hari saya mau berangkat kantor. Memang jam segitu mereka memutar lagu 2 pop anak negeri yang sedang naik daun. NAmun radio lain sangat jarang memutar lagu ini. Apalagi stasiun radio terkenal. Tapi karena saya senang, saya rajin menyanyikannya, hingga Haniy anak saya yang paling kecil kalau mendengar lagu itu akan berkomentar.."Mah itu lagu Papa".

Namun rupanya memang begitu suka duka untuk menanjak menjadi group musik. BUkan hanya di Indoensi, tetapi juga di luar negeri. Sering kita menyaksikan group2 baru bermunculan setelah mengalami pahit manis dan berlikunya jalan menuju puncak. Sampai-sampai saya "bertaruh" ketika memberi ceramah ttg kemajuan telematika atau ICT yang juga berpotensi besar di sektor hiburan atau entertainment di dalam sebuah seminar di bandung. Hadir ketika itu rekan2 ITB yang juga pemusik. Mereka sendiri heran lagunya seperti apa, sehingga terpaksa saya nyanyikan penggalan lagu itu hingga refrain.

Syukurlah firasat saya dan perhitungan saya benar.. sekarang ST-12 telah maju pesat dan akhirnya diterima hampir diseluruh lapisan, termasuk di stasiun TV yang kelihatannya sangat selektif di awal untuk memutar lagu-lagu mereka. Selamat, saya gak kenal anda para personelnya, tapi musikmu memberi warna berbeda pada waktu yang tepat.

WE WILL NOT GO DOWN (Song for Gaza) - Michael Heart

 

WE WILL NOT GO DOWN (Song for Gaza) - Michael Heart

(Composed by Michael Heart)


A blinding flash of white light
Lit up the sky over Gaza tonight
People running for cover
Not knowing whether they’re dead or alive

They came with their tanks and their planes
With ravaging fiery flames
And nothing remains
Just a voice rising up in the smoky haze

We will not go down
In the night, without a fight
You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools
But our spirit will never die
We will not go down
In Gaza tonight

Women and children alike
Murdered and massacred night after night
While the so-called leaders of countries afar
Debated on who’s wrong or right

But their powerless words were in vain
And the bombs fell down like acid rain
But through the tears and the blood and the pain
You can still hear that voice through the smoky haze

We will not go down
In the night, without a fight
You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools
But our spirit will never die
We will not go down
In Gaza tonight

Kau Yang Ceria - Christ Kayhatu

Bawalah Cintaku - Christ Kayhatu



Lirik menyusul ya...!

Yang Terbaik Bagi Kita - Christ Kayhatu



Lirik menyusul, lagi nyari kotak kaset nya dulu..ketlingsut.

MISTERI CINTA - Christ Kayhatu



MISTERI CINTA

Katakanlah segalanya
Semua yang masih tersembunyi
Diantara kita berdua
Lupakan saja duka lara
Biar kulihat lagi senyummu
Yang seindah langit merah

Kasih, mengapa ?
Apa yang terjadi ?
Mataharipun tiada berseri

Hanya bila kau mengerti
Arti cinta yang sejati
Tiada guna bersedih
Memang kusadari kini
Cinta adalah misteri
Didalam hidup ini

Kemanakah harus ku pergi
Mencari seteguk air sejuk
Penawar haus dan dahaga
Disaat cinta telah menghilang
Dalam cita-cita dan realita
Yang membiru dihatiku

Antonio's Song - Michael Franks



Antonio's Song - Michael Franks

Antonio lives life's frevo
Antonio prays for truth
Antonio says our friendship
Is a hundred-proof

The vulture that circles Rio
Hangs in this L.A. sky
The blankets they give the Indians
Only make them die

But sing the Song
Forgotten for so long
And let the Music flow
Like Light into the Rainbow
We know the Dance, we have
We still have the chance
To break these chains and flow
Like Light into the Rainbow

Antonio loves the desert
Antonio prays for rain
Antonio knows that Pleasure
Is the child of Pain

And lost in La Califusa*
When most of my hope was gone
Antonio's samba led me
To the Amazon

We sing the Song
Forgotten for so long
And let the music flow
Like Light into the Rainbow
We know the Dance, we have
We still have the chance
To break these chains and flow
Like Light into the Rainbow.

Haunting Me - Dave Grusin


Haunting Me - Watch the top videos of the week here




Haunting Me - Dave Grusin

Every night
I can see you reach out of a dream
And suddenly I feel you lying next to me
But something isn't right cause I know why

Never let emotions grab my mind
But I've fallen for the reasons and the alibies
Of why I am in love with just a fantasy
Oh why

Do you keep haunting me
Hiding in the shadows never seen?
You still keep haunting me
Only when i close my eyes to sleep
But that's not really fair
Coz you're not really there
At all

Every day
I see a thousand girls has passed me by
Some have got your hair and some got your eyes
But none of them could be the same as you
So perfect in each and every way
And someday if I ran into you face to face
Maybe then I'll end this crazy fantasy
Oh why

(Thanks to my friend Windy Gambetta for walling the lyrics to my FB, and to Mrs Rossie Indira for corrections)

Malam Bainai - Benigno, Yetty





Kelihatannya turunan atau generasi baru minang sudah lahir, mudah2an juga OK secara budaya, bukan fisik semata.

Batang Anai - Benigno

RaNG Talu - Benigno..Minang no?

Bakareklah Rotan - Elsa

Dodoi si Dodoi





Lagu yang bisa meneteskan air mata, jika anda menghayatinya. Saya sarankan cobalah nyanyikan paling tidak sekali dengan segenap perasaan. Hingga anda tidak mampu lagi untuk melanjutkannya. Itulah sebenarnya ungkapan cinta orang tua kepada anaknya.

Timang-Timang Anakku Sayang - Koes Hendratmo

Sansaro - Koes Hendratmo, Rynd




Usah dikanalah juo
Oh cinto kito nan lamo
Bia denai kok sansaro
Oh mandi sia ia mato

Sadiah kok dikana kini
Sadiah kasiah di kadu, oh kanduang

Usah dikanalah juo
Oh cinto kito nan lamo
Bia denai kok sansaro
mandi sia ia mato

Sadiah kok dikana kini
Sadiah kasiah di kandu Oh.. kanduang

Usah dikanalah juo
Oh cinto kito nan lamo

Sansai juo, sansai juo..
Iyo lah malang…

Usah Diratoki - Tiar Ramon

SAyang sekali musik kurang pas..but it's still Okay..I just need all the lyrics.

Anak Salido - various artists (cipt Tarun Yusuf)



Anak Salido, anak Salido ka parantauan
Pandan dibaok pandan dibaok ka dipadagangkan
Dunsanak tido ondeh Tuan manga bajalan
Kasia badan, kasia badan ka ditompangkan

Sungai Tanang, Sungai Tanang tapian mandi
Nak Bukiktinggi, nak Bukiktinggi mandi bakawan
Kasiah sayang bakeh tuan tatuntuang abih
Manga kok kini, manga kok kini tuan rangguikkan

Tagamang badan, tagamang badan dek ditinggakan

Hujan - Tiar Ramon
