After The Rain (The perfume song) – Adhitia Sofyan
Music & Lyric : Adhitia Sofyan

If I could bottled the smell of the wet land after the rain
I’d make it a perfume and send it to your house
If one in a million stars suddenly will hit satellite
I’ll pick some pieces, they’ll be on your way

In a far land across
You’re standing at the sea
Then the wind blows the scent
And that little star will there to guide me

If only I could find my way to the ocean
I’m already there with you
If somewhere down the line
We will never get to meet
I’ll always wait for you after the rain

Adhit on Twitter.

Akhir-akhir ini sangat merasa bosan dengan Facebook dan Plurk, terlalu banyak yang enggak perlu rasanya. Blog juga sedang jarang di update krn memang tidak selalu ada postingan / kabar yang berbobot.

Saya sedang addict dengan Twitter sekarang, segala pikiran2 dan hal2 yang sedang saya lakukan selalu saya update di situ karena simpel dan seperlunya.

So, i’ll see you on Twitter!

It never crossed my mind when I first hear the news early this morning that I would be writing some kind of sentimental note about MJ.

I mean, I know he’s the king and all, he’s a super legend, there was no escaping him when I grew up, but I don’t really feel a strong connection between his music and the music that I play right now, at least not enough for me to write something on his permanent departure. I mean, if BB King or Eric Clapton or John Mayer later dies I’d probably be more upset than this.

But, as the day goes along suddenly it hits me, I remember that night I said to my mom when I was 14,”Mom, I want to learn the electric guitar”, was right after hearing the intro to the song Black and White ( I think I mentioned this on my earlier post on this blog). Then I got the chills, then I’m suddenly kinda sad.

The song that made me want to pick up and play the guitar was not a hit from Clapton, or BB or Van Halen, but it was MJ’s song.

My mom had brought me an acoustic nylon guitar before from work but I never interested in playing it, I couldn’t tune it and I looked uncool. Until that night when we went to a café with live music and the house band were playing that song right in front of my eyes and ears.

So from that day about 17 years ago until now, I have been pretty much inseparable with my guitars. Whenever I was leaving home for few days on a trip with friends or something my mom would always asked,” Are you sure you’re not bringing your guitar?” ☺

So, there you go, goodbye Michael, many thanks for the music.

Carnival - studio version cover

As i’m beginning to record the second bedroom recordings, one of the early stage is to do a studio test run for each song.

A studio test run, which on my term, means listening to the song for the first time on the studio with all the recording equipments turned on, and do a test recording. At this stage i need to determine what guitar do i want to use; dreadnought, OM or classical nylon, and in what key would i’ll be playing the song on, setting up preliminary mic positions, making sure my connections are good to go for the real recording session and so on.

Well, last night i did a test run / test recording on a song called Carnival, which will be the first track on the second album just to hear how it sounds.

And you all can download the test recording here.

Cheers people.

“Carnival”
Music and Lyric by Adhitia Sofyan

I do remember your name
We met at the carnival
You said till we meet again
I guess here we are now

And I don’t even see
Why we can’t stay a while

No we should not be afraid
Of going through the silly things
It might just uncover a path
To a similarity

No I don’t even see
Why we can’t stay this time

Till grass on the hills getting longer
They’re waving at us to be seen
That face on the moon’s getting brighter
But he’s going down anytime
Nobody knows what’s tomorrow
It might brings us to our last

Do you remember the time
When there were the simple things
Where I just looked in to your eyes
Then we’ll be connected

Still I don’t even see
Why we can’t stay this time

So let me remember the shape of the evening
Cause when the day’s over who knows when I’ll see you again

I do remember your name
We stay at the carnival this time
