YOGYAKARTA
Song and Lyric by KLa Project
link to video clip in You Tube
Coming home to your town,
I am caught by the stir of my longing,
Still the same as before,
Every corner is a friendly greeting,
Fully satiated with meaning
Lost in the sensation of nostalgia,
Of the moments when we were spending time,
And enjoying Jogja’s ambience together
At the intersection my steps stand still,
Bustling portable food stands
Peddling various delectable cuisines,
People sit cross-legged
And street musicians begin to play,
In rhythm with my sorrow of losing you,
Alone in my moans,
Engulfed by your city’s roar
Although now you’re no longer here,
And will never come back,
Please allow me to always return,
If the heart embarks on loneliness with no comfort
Other songs which related to Yogyakarta are Yogyakarta, Never Ending Love and Tidurlah Tidur (Little Angel of Mine). Both are created and sung by Katon Bagaskara, who by coincident, is the vocalist of KLa Project. Although the first song may not as popular as Yogyakarta, as it is created mostly for the purpose of tourism promotion, but we can see from the lyrics and the video, some places which are memorable for and mentioned by people.
For the second song, it is the music arrangement and how they visualize the video clip which may remind people of Yogyakarta. The arrangement includes the pentatonic scale commonly known as the basic of traditional Javanese gamelan. The video clip was located in Kaliurang, which is one of the famous places visited by tourists.
