"home" lyrics

To be performed at Locafore Jazz Festival, Sept 23th, 2012
for Piano, Cello, Vocal

"home"


Find a way to begin, believing what I see
It's hard to know the truth somehow
It started happens now

Hoping it will find a way to be home again
Many hearts will broken if you wish to go away

Rainy days and sunny skies, made you realize, how time flies
It's easy to be said but done, I'm shattered to be drawn

Praying it will soon be over, I'm home again
Hurry angels, guide my way to live in peace

Glimpses

"Glimpses"

The title "Glimpses" represent the glimpse of the thoughts which derived from daily thinking. A simple glimpse about rains, fireflies, important dates,etc that struck my mind and immediately transfer into the definition of sounds. There are 8 compositions which are :

1. Growth Spurt
2. Glimpses
3. Something Blue 
4. Possibilities 
5. Fireflies 
6. Simplified 
7. Nov 8th 
8. When it Rains 

 I dedicate the "Fireflies" for my dearest friends who gave me such an inspiration about friendship, how they really took care of me during every moment of my life, for being there for me through beautiful and hard times. I salute you guys. They are Amanda, Arga, Tessa, and Pat.

I dedicate "Nov 8th" for my beautiful baby girl, Emily. I thank God the most for bringing her into my life.

Simplified  is actually a protest against everything that is unbelievably chaotic. Sometimes what it needs is simply to be simplified.

When it Rains  is a about how I love rain so much but since I live in Jakarta, I could never ask to much of it, otherwise it will cause a massive flood.
