My boss is a good example of an old soul guy who trapped in today’s world. He doesn’t like to own a car because he might contributes to the pollution and listen to songs which I never heard of. And oh, he still used tailored trousers from his trusted makcik pembuat seluar ke pakcik, i also tataula.
One time he told me that he loves to listen to traditional celtic music [I really have no idea what kind of music this is] and he always told me he loves the carpenters. I said car whooooooooooooo?
Oh well, there are so much more but I malas to write here.
So one day we went to some mall and there were a background song in that particular mall. Probably some guy singing an rnb song and he sounded so meleweh-leweh.
“Shit. I hate this guy. He is ruining my favourite song”
So I asked him, what songla. He said it was superstar by carpenters. And I tell yew, he was really pissed.
Initally, I was thinking it may sounded something like superstar yang femes semasa akhir 90′an dimana ianya rancak dimainkan di disko-disko [sapa yang suke gi modesto keji tu taula kot hehe]. Now, since he always talk about the carpenters it make me wonder, best sangat carpenters nih? I mean, I looooveee music and I find that music can really mempermainkan perasaanlah. So I decided, what the hellah kan. Aku try jela download lagu tu.
Oh my.
Ianya sungguh mengusik emosi sehinga ternangis [poyo tak poyo skang?].
It reminded me of the time where I looked like toyol and just love to breathe the air of shah alam that time. We were among the first to move there.
It reminded me of the time when I sit on the marble flow and admire how pretty norkumalasari look in my mom’s jelita magazine.
It reminded how happy I was when Ros Kamal took me out to play at the playground petang-petang.
I am not sure about you, but her voice adalah seperti time machine dan penuh emosi. Like my boss said, not many artist nowadays can deliver songs like the old artist. Menyerap. Meresap.
I don’t really know that much about her. But.
She died in a tragic way as tragic as this song may sounds.
