TURN ON THE MUSIC BEFORE PROCEED.
Just now, I listened to some disney music and one soundtrack from shrek "dance party" kinda buzz my feel. The line was "Dont go changing to try please me. You never let me down before, hmm." So I immidiately browse the song by typing that line in youtube search box and I got the song title, Just the way you are by Billy Joel.
To be honest, I never heard this song before except the first line (since it was featured in shrek movie's song) but as soon I heard it, this song have somewhat reflecting atmosphere on certain strong emotional memories in my childhood and my teenagehood. As u can see, the song kinda looked like a song for wedding or "hotel-themed" song, and this music reminds of the moment when I went to a family gathering event that held by the company where my dad worked at when I still like 10 years old, yeah it was like 11 years ago. It was one of the happiest moment in my life, for 3 days we just having purely fun by doing some kid's activity like doing creativity drawing, swimming pool games and also fun science stuff. That time.. I was so adventurous (not that running around type but observing fascinated type), therefore I got lost somewhere and didnt registered to any event HAHA. Because the event is like this, the session will be started at certain times, u just register on the session and when the time come u just need to visit the place, since my parent busy with grown up stuff, the children just exploring around by itself, Im too busy observing the event decoration and the hotel's environment so I just keep randomly come to all session room, sit for 5 mins then go around again hehehe. I remember the room where we sleep has a natural leafy ascent and white silk curtain.. so beautiful and calming, I remember I join the fun science session, 17 agustusan style-grown up competition session, fun creative drawing session, hypno therapy session, and literally everything! :) There is also bbq party where the family do some performance, and the kids do clap percussion, and until now I still remember the movement haha. The breakfast also awesome, I ate pancake with real maple syrup, my first time tasting maple syrup. There is one highschool-age friend that helped me filling my water gun when I play around with it. me and my brother also met our new best friend named bondan, dunno how is he now, and he tried bajigur and puke it haha, kids.
I also remember another amazing memory when going to choir concert in my high school, dunno why this one emotionally strong that I can still remember how I feel that day, it was a concert in jakarta and me & other highschool friend goin there together with car to support our performing friend, so happy cos Im goin there with all my closest friend. The concert was good but the conversation either at car, concert place or when we goin to mosque near the place is the most memorable. Have u ever heard something like "This friendship will last forever" feeling ? that was it feels like, the warm yet deep convo, random laughing.. and yeah, I also perform there as random "alumnus" singing 2 songs which is dont stop believing but glee and amigos para siempre. I still remember the moment we practice this for weeks and when singing in the stage I still know the sensation of the stage light, the people that looks like enjoying ur singing, the fact that u and ur friend feels connected in the stage, like there will be forever.
Yes, this song... so powerful that no matter I listen to it, I can feel the bond we used to have.
Because when I sing this before, I implicitly imagined all my best friend's face and that time, they all feel so precious to me.
how I wish.. life can be that colorful anymore
how I wish.. life have its soul again.
