TITIEK SANDHORA
"Mimpi Diraju"
Band: Empat Nada
Conductors: Janwar-Hasanudin-A.Rijanto
The 16th LP, if my counting is right.
On the cover dressed in one of those 1970 outfits, older people who see back this kind of photos of their younger
years always laugh and shake their heads. "Just crazy we were then"
The first song "Sekretaris" is about the life of a secretary girl.
There are quite a few cover songs on this record:
"Mimpi Dirayu" = the erotic song "Je t'aime moi non plus" by Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin, France 1969
"Pemuda Semua Sama" = " La Paloma "
"Datanglah Kasih" = " Hey Jude " by Lennon - McCartney 1968
"Bunga Bunga Berguguran" ( withered flowers ) taken from a Chinese or Japanese song,
Other songs to mention: "Micoma" is from Manado ( North Sulawesi )
"Sembilan Bulan" ( Nine Months ) is about the hardships of pregnancy, and the father of the babe is gone, a sad song.
"Hidup Didunia" ( "Living on this world" ) live is short, do things well, you only live once and when it is ended you have to justify all your deeds to the Almighty up above. Riyanto did a fine job by writing this song. It has profoundness and it proves this composer could also make songs in Melayu style.
