Last night, at the office, I was minding my own guitar when Maureen showed up. She is probably one of the most awesome vocalists [not to mention how she is a very polite musician] I have ever met. We sat together singing "Menantang Rasi Bintang", I called a mobile phone recording session.

Read the lyrics below and comprehend what one of my favourite lyricist, Farid Stevy Asta [vocalist] is trying to say through the song - it's beautiful.

Menantang Rasi Bintang
FSTVLST

Menantang rasi bintang
Membalik garis tangan,
Menarikan cerita
Menuliskan lagi puisi
Yang mulai kehilangan rimanya.
Memotong awan pekat gelap
Melintang tepat di jantungnya
Terburailah darah cahaya
Yang lama terhalang gelapnya
Silau berkilauan terangnya, benderang

Tenang sebentar mengendapkan
Uraikan simpul kacaunya
Diam sebentar membedakan
Yang teringinkan yang dibutuhkan

Hidup itu sekali, dan mati itu pasti
Bisa jadi nanti, atau setelah ini

Coba tulis ulang lagi
Yang sejatinya kau cari

Maka sudahilah sedihmu
Yang belum sudah
Segera mulailah
Syukurmu yang pasti indah
Dan berbahagialah, bahagialah
Sudahilah sedihmu
Yang selalu saja
Menantangmu

Menantang Rasi Bintang w/ Maureen Tania

Following on from our announcement on Something Anorak a few weeks back, we are now delighted to welcome another new face to the fold. Tara Clerkin is a spellbinding mistress of chamber pop. A songwriter who has kept us captivated like moths round a lightbulb since we first heard her and we are looking forward to working with her over the coming year.

Let the Fool Fall
Music & Lyrics by Eddie Mohammad

Wishing for the wonderful,
while too surreal but in good faith,
his mind is played and captured.
Oh, these days, seem to tell,
wicked tales for the fool.

Hearts are spent against the wall,
so thick, he will surrender but not soon,
fools are made, out of all,
all the strength in stone.

Fall, let the fool fall
Let the fool fall for you
Another night is owned in wine,
but none is lost when you are in his mind
Another night is owned in wine,
but none is lost when he knows you're fine.

Let the night fall, let the sun rise once again.
Let us all be the romance that we share.
Let us all see that we're all fools for someone.
