Vickyvette’s Into the Universe

A few days ago, I’ve wrote about Vickyvette band. And now I’d like to have a small talk about one of its song, “Into the Universe”. Why this song? What’s so special about it?

Well, this Vickyvette’s “Into the Universe” ending part is such a joy for my ear (and soul?). Is this some kind of trance? Psychedelic? Psychedelic trance (psytrance)? I’ve made a cut version of it, so listen to it first then you name it! You decide it! What’s the proper term for this kind of feelings.

Vickyvette Band, Who are They?

It’s been a long time for me not talking about music in my blog. And now, I would like to talk about a band from Bandung, West Java, Indonesia, named Vickyvette. The very first time I heard about this band was around the forth quarter last year (2010). Got the download link to their songs from one of my friend.

Wait, wait? Download link? Are they distribute their music, their hard work, their creativity, and their money (for recording, promotion, etc) for free? Or… Are you pirating their songs illegally?

Nah, I didn’t pirate their songs! They did it themselves, sharing away their songs and let everyone hear it for free. Yeah! They did it!

Why?

I got the answer from here, They distribute their music for free in order to introduce their music for the audience to hear and to receive feedback from them. And it can also be a very valuable lesson for them in the near future when the ‘real’ album is ready.

30 Minutes

Tiga puluh menit, waktu yang cukup singkat untuk merubah keadaan…

Out of sight
Out of mind
Out of time
To decide

Do we run?
Should I hide?
For the rest
Of my life

Can we fly?
Do I stay?
We could lose
We could fail

In the moment
It takes
To make plans
Or mistakes

30 minutes, a blink of an eye
30 minutes, to alter our lives
30 minutes, to make up my mind
30 minutes, to finally decide

30 minutes, to whisper your name
30 minutes, to shoulder the blame
30 minutes, of bliss, thirty lies
30 minutes, to finally decide

Carousels
In the sky
That we shape
With our eyes

Under shade
Silhouettes
Casting shade
Crying rain

Can we fly?
Do I stay?
We could lose
We could fail

Either way
Options change
Chances fail
Trains derail

30 minutes, a blink of an eye
30 minutes, to alter our lives
30 minutes, to make up my mind
30 minutes, to finally decide

30 minutes, to whisper your name
30 minutes, to shoulder the blame
30 minutes, of bliss, thirty lies
30 minutes, to finally decide

To decide
To decide, to decide, to decide

To decide
To decide, to decide, to decide

To decide

[Tatu - 30 Minutes]

Ah, lagu yang akhir-akhir ini paling sering saya dengarkan. Slow but sure, great and easy listening music. Semua bisa berubah dalam 30 menit… :)

Be brave! Face the world!

The Toy Master

Ini lagu yang paling sering saya denger, gahar sie, dan makna dibalik liriknya sedikit menyeramkan, apalagi bila melihat latar belakang si penciptanya, Tobias Sammet. Walau begitu, ambil sisi positifnya aja. Lagu ini juga yang kadang membuat saya tegar dan bangkit berdiri. To be the toy master…
