Hello Everyone

Nice to meet you all again through this post. I am very happy to be able to make a post again in the Hive Music Festival Community which has now reached the 126th week of round 3. By taking part in this festival I feel a special pleasure in sharing music from my country Indonesia.

The music community on the Hive platform is very interesting to be involved in. Every week we are given space to express ourselves through selected songs. Even with limited musical abilities and only guitar instrument support, I feel the appreciation given by the curators through upvotes and positive comments which are very inspiring

On this occasion in the 126th week of round 3 I sang a song from a neighboring Malaysian band that was very famous in Indonesia in the early 1990s. The song is entitled GERHANA CINTA LUKA is a song from the legendary band IKLIM. This song is a song that is always on my playlist to play with my guitar. The nuance of pop ballad with melodious vocals from the vocalist SALEEM has been my inspiration in singing for a long time.

In fact, IKLIM and SALEEM as vocalists have millions of fans in Indonesia. Although this band is not from Indonesia, the anesthesia of the vocalist's voice has made many people in Indonesia fall in love with their music. In addition to being melodious with music and a high, hoarse voice typical of the vocalist, IKLIM's songs also have very strong and touching lyrics.

For me, this band is a childhood inspiration. I have been a fan of this band since I was 10 years old. When I was in middle school, on various occasions I often sang their songs in front of the class during art class. I even often used their song lyrics to sweeten the love letters I sent to the girl I liked at that time. Truly a memory that will always be sweet to remember.

Here is the lyrics and its translation..
Sinar mentari senja
Mendung menyelubungi
Melingkar jiwa
