Have you ever listened to a happy song but on contrary feel sad? Although this song has a happy vibe--even the title told us so but it’s actually a really sad song.
I
always and will always love the contradictive things in YG Entertainment’s songs (where 2NE1 is one of the label's artists). I Love You
told us about loving someone who doesn’t care about us at all and ended up hating
him—but still love him so much. Sometimes the person you love the most is the
person you hate the most—I think it’s cool to have this kind of story in a
song. Lonely told us about being lonely even though having someone beside us.
And here’s the latest contradictive 2NE1 presented to the listeners: without you, I’m not happy but I hope you’re
happy. Although the upbeat melody sounds fun and bright, the story is on the other
side. The song even performed in cute choreography, a catchy beat, and a cool drum
sound but actually is about broken-hearted girls.

Kau membawakan untukku sekeranjang
harapan. Tanpa sempat berpikir, aku menjinjingnya kapan pun aku melangkah. Tentu saja aku tak
mengerti apa yang tengah terjadi denganku. Aku
terlalu bahagia untuk menganalisis perasaanku sendiri. Sebenarnya ada rasa khawatir aku
akan menjelma pungguk merindukan bulan jika tak tepat menangkap maksudmu.
Kau menyatukanku dengan perasaan yang terlampau hebat untuk ditanggung oleh
batin. Seperti yang Milan Kundera tuliskan, aku tak tahu apakah ini histeria
atau cinta. Kau yang seterang bulan tiba-tiba memberikan sinarmu hanya untuk
menjadi lampu sorot ke mana pun aku bergerak.
LAMPU SOROT

Some songs are simply mystical and magical. For me, Sada Borneo is one of them.
My first encounter with Sada
Borneo was when I heard their audition for Asia's Got Talent 2015. The relaxing, soothing,
and very calm melody of theirs gracefully flowed right to my soul. They mixed traditional and modern music well. Their song
was something familiar in my ears--simply like a sound from nature. It’s the sound that brought me to my childhood--to
a place with only peacefulness. Sada Borneo’s music touched
my heart right in the center. It flew me to an imaginary place where happiness is synonymous with that
place.
