Indonesia Pusaka on Piano

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
