Kisah Saidjah dan Adinda


Video di atas adalah pelengkap dan alasan saya ingin menceritakan kisah Saidjah dan Adinda. Akhir-akhir ini saya sering nonton video-video The Trees and The Wild di Youtube, nah salah satunya yang di atas itu, video live performance mereka yang menyanyikan lagu yang berjudul Saija di ARTE Festival 2013.
"Saija remuk,
dan dia kan sadar,
yang tak diam dengannya,
hanya waktu."
Nah itu dia lirik lagu dari Saija, singkat (tapi kok videonya sampai 9 menit? Nah itu dia The Trees and The Wild, their music speaks louder than words!), bikin penasaran, sebenarnya siapa Saija ini? Saya googling deh (manusia era sekarang, penasaran mengarah ke google) dan menemukan blog tumblr yang membedah lagu Saija, di sini

Saija yang dimaksud dalam lagunya The Trees and The Wild itu adalah Saidjah, salah satu tokoh yang ada dalam buku Max Haveelar karya Eduard Douwes Dekker alias Multatuli. Yang sering perhatiin pelajaran IPS pas SD pasti ga asing lagi deh sama nama penulisnya :p

Saya telusuri lagi mengenai kisah Saidjah ini. Dan menemukan banyak referensi. Baiklah, izinkan saya untuk berdongeng secara singkat sesuai dengan referensi yang saya dapatkan. Here I go.

Saidjah adalah anak laki-laki miskin, bekerja sebagai pengembala kerbau milik Ayahnya. Suatu hari, para kolonial Belanda menangkap Ayahnya dan memasukkannya ke penjara karena tidak sanggup membayar pajak, mereka juga mengambil kerbau miliknya. 

Saidjah lalu beranjak dewasa, dia ingin memenuhi wangsit ayahnya yaitu menikahi Adinda. Adinda adalah seorang anak perempuan yang bernasib sama dan merupakan tetangganya. Merasa miskin untuk menikahi Adinda, akhirnya Saidjah memutuskan untuk hijrah ke kota Batavia untuk mencari kerja.

Sebelum Saidjah pergi, dia menemui Adinda, lalu...

Nosstress bikin No Stress

Sudah lama punya lagu-lagu mereka di laptop, tapi baru akhir-akhir ini menyimak dan menikmati. Blues-acoustic asal Bali. Sederhana, renyah kayak crackers teman minum teh. Dan berikut adalah lagu favorit saya (sekaligus tjurhat) dari album mereka.


Buka Hati - Nosstress

bibir mengucap dengan lantang
berdendang harmoni lirih
apa yang pernah kita janjikan saat duduk berdampingan
sempat terlupa
kau maupun aku 
sempat tak terbina 
sekarang kurasakan beda 
dan kuharap kau pun begitu 
buka hati pikiranmu juga untuk kita bersama
buka hati pikiranmu juga untuk kita berdua
dan buka hati pikiranmu juga untuk kita 
nikmati indahnya pagi bersama 
tak kupercaya kau didekatku
dan apapun itu, sekarang kurasakan beda 
dan kuharap kaupun begitu

Dengar lagu-lagu mereka di Nosstress Soundcloud

Malte Ebert, another talented musician

I found him, like a week ago when I'm looking for "Your Body Is A Wonderful cover" on youtube. And I don't know, it happened all of a sudden, I'm in love with his voice. *ceilaaah*




And I explored through his youtube channel, listened to his another cover. And also I found some of his original songs. Very good stuffs. (psst, I converted them to mp3 and put them on my phone :P)

And yesterday, he uploaded a new video that shows him singing another original song. That song currently become my favorite.




Keep your good work, Malte!

*Bonus :
Ya that's me :D

Try - Melissa Polinar


There's something about you
The way you move, the way you look at me

There's something about the way you see things
It's like a change of scenery

Everything about you I just want more of
But don't get any closer
If this will last a little longer
There's a chance I'll find myself saying

There's nothing, nothing I can do
To keep my heart away from you
I can't help it, I can't tell you how much I try

To get you off my mind
To help me move on and just live my life
I can't help it, I can't tell you how much I try

Cause whenever you're near, it's love that I fear
I've been in this shell
And I can't tell if I'm living at all
I've been doing well on my own
But maybe it's just me who I'm deceiving

Cause everything about me leads right to you

Oh, I want to get closer
But let me doubt a little longer
Till I'll turn it over and give in

Cause there's nothing, nothing I can do
To keep my heart away from you
I can't help it, I can't tell you how much I try

To get you off my mind
To help me move on and just live my life
I can't help it, I can't tell you how much I try

Cause whenever you're near
It's love that I fear
Of falling so helplessly
Fear of losing, losing control

There's nothing, nothing I can do
To keep my heart away from you
I can't help it, I can't tell you how much I try

To get you off my mind
To help me move on and just live my life
I can't help it, I can't tell you how much I try

Cause whenever you're near it's love that I fear

Come Home To Me

This song originally by Ernie Halter tapi dicover sama Justin Bieber dan Ryan Beatty. Well, lagu ini lagi “pas” banget with what I'm feeling right now, miss someone terribly.So here it is, Come Home To Me

Come home to me
Come home to me
Back into my arms
Home where you belong

Come home to me
Come home to me
If home is where you are
Then home is way too far away

TV light of blue and white
I just can't fall asleep at night
Move over to the space where you should be
Even half way seem so far
Over mountains and diamond stars
Everybody has their own way home

Come home to me
Come home to me
Back into my arms
Home where you belong

Come home to me
Come home to me
If home is where you are
Home is way too far away

All my life I've dreamed of love
Never thought it would hurt this much
To kiss goodbye and wait for your return
So I'll be strong and hold on to
A picture and a thought of you
Getting all the love that you deserve

So come home to me
Come home to me
Back into my arms
Home where you belong

Come home to me
Come home to me
If home is where you are
Home is way too far away
If home is where you are
Then home is way too far away

The Way I am - Ingrid Michaelson




If you were falling, then I would catch you.
You need a light, I'd find a match.

Cause I love the way you say good morning.
And you take me the way I am.

If you are chilly, here take my sweater.
Your head is aching, I'll make it better.

Cause I love the way you call me baby.
And you take me the way I am.

I'd buy you Rogaine when you start losing all your hair.
Sew on patches to all you tear.

Cause I love you more than I could ever promise.
And you take me the way I am.
You take me the way I am.
You take me the way I am
