"Lebih Baik Berakhirlah"

Composed by Imelda Lizal
Guitar & Vocal by Imelda Lizal
Arranged by Harmoni Ezra & Imelda Lizal
Produced by Harmoni Ezra

So one day Kak Oni ( @HarmoniEzra ) sent me a message, he asked me if I wanted to record one of my original songs at his house. I was really excited and immediately I chose this song. I'm very grateful that finally I had this opportunity that I've been waiting for years, to record my original songs with a real recording microphone. Lol :D

Thank you so much Kak Oni for making my dream come true! I just can't thank you enough.. :')

Lyrics:

Salahkah bila ku tak bahagia,
Bersamamu, ku terjebak di dalam egomu.
Mungkin tak kau sadari, selama ini,
Ku simpan segala caci maki yang kau ucapkan.

Apa maumu, apa mauku,
Selalu tak sejalan, tak ingin ku bertahan.

Reff: Bila kau tersakiti menangislah,
Kecewa katakan
Ku jenuh, kau jenuh,
Cinta tak lagi utuh.
Daripada kau percayakan
Cinta beralaskan dusta,
'Kan lebih baik,
Cinta ini berakhirlah.

Salahkah bila ku tak percaya,
Kepadamu, janji itu tak meyakinkanku.
Mungkin tak kau sadari, selama ini,
S'gala sumpah manismu tak menyanjungku.

Somebody To Love (Justin Bieber Cover) [HQ]

LDR (Raisa Cover)

Some of my friends requested a better quality recording for this song and here it is!! :)

Took 2 days to wrap this up.. A bit exhausting but I really enjoyed it.

Hope you guys like it!!
Thank you so much!! :)

Lyrics:

Saat itu, 'ku bertemu uniknya dirimu
S'gala yang kau lakukan
Tak terlihat menawan bagiku

Tiba-tiba, tak 'ku sangka 'ku jatuh cinta
Meski tak 'ku percaya
Semakin 'ku merasa
Harus 'ku nyatakan

Reff : 'Ku bukan mengagumi
Indah elok parasmu
Tapi ketulusan hatimu
Sadari, sadarilah
Apa arti senyumku
Nyanyian terindahku
'Ku berikan hanya padamu
Sadari, sadarilah...

Bagaimana pesonamu lumpuhkan hatiku
Hanya dalam sejekap
Buat 'ku tergila-gila
Ingin 'ku nyatakan

Bridge: Ingin 'ku ucap janji
Tulus setia padamu
'Ku tak ingin sendiri
Naungi hidup ini
Jika ada dirimu

Sadari, Sadarilah (Original) [HQ]

Inspired by an amazing film by Lucky Kuswandi, "Selamat Pagi, Malam"..,

Thanks a lot @jeenniferho for the help!!!

Pergi Untuk Kembali (Karta Tanuwidjaya cover) [Piano by @jeenniferho]

First time using metronome and beats!! I didn't have any percussions at home so I used my guitar hahahaha
This isn't perfect but at least I've tried to do something new.

Hi @engineer.suitespot , thanks a lot for your messages. I was encouraged to try to put some beats into my tracks because of you. Thanks a lot!

And also thanks a lot to Kak Oni @HarmoniEzra for teaching me about home recording, I'll never forget your kindness. :)

So... finally!! an original!! It's been too long...
I was frustrated that I couldn't even finish just one song, it's been months since I didn't want to write any songs because everytime I tried to compose, I got stuck. After doing a lot of brainstorming and poetry reading, here it is! I can finally upload another original to my soundcloud acc!

Hope you enjoy!!

Lyrics:

Bila kau meminta
Apa yang kau mau
Hanya bisa kugambarkan dengan pena tuaku

Kau benci laguku
Gombal katamu
Oh apa daya, itulah yang sungguh kurasa

Aku takkan sanggup
Memenuhi sgala khayalanmu yang mustahil itu
Aku hanya bisa
Menangisi diriku yang tak punya apa-apa... untukmu

Yang terbaik dariku, selalu tak cukup untukmu
Yang terindah dariku, selalu terlihat biasa untukmu

Bila hanya indah yang kau mau
Kan kulukiskan pelangi untukmu
Bila masih saja kau tak mau
Aku kan pergi, untukmu

Untukmu (Original)

This song is supposed to be sung by a boy but whatever!!! I love it!!! Hahaha soooo catchy

Multitracks terbanyak!!! Hahahaha

Hope you enjoy!! :)

I'm a big fan of Ariana Grande and Jojo, they're my RnB heroes so it's always fun to sing their songs!!
And Rinni Wulandari is one of my most favorite Indonesian singers, she released a very catchy RnB song not so long ago, I really liked it!

Saving All My Love (MiC LOWRY cover)

I found a love for me
Darling just dive me in
And I’ll follow your lead
Well I found a man so gentle and sweet
I never knew you were the someone looking for me
'Cause we’re strangers before we fell in love

Not knowing what it was
Please do not give us up this time
But darling, please kiss me slow, my heart is all you own
And I hope my eyes they tell you I’m holding yours

Baby, I'm dancing in the dark with your arms holding me
Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song
When you said you looked a mess, I whispered underneath my breath
But you heard it, darling, you look perfect tonight

Well I found a man, sincere than anyone I know
He believes in me, I hope that someday I'll trust his vow
I found a love, to carry more than just my secrets
To raise me up, to raise children of our own
We are still kids, but we're so in love
Fighting against all odds
I know we'll be alright this time
Darling, just hold my hand
Be my man, I'll be your lady
I see my future in your eyes

Baby, I'm dancing in the dark, with you between my arms
Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song
When I saw you in that suit, looking so beautiful
I don't deserve this, darling, you look perfect tonight

Baby, I'm dancing in the dark, with your arms holding me
Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song
I have faith in what I see
Now I know I have met an angel in person
And he looks perfect
I don't deserve this
You look perfect tonight

Lyrics:

Hati yang indah, namun terluka
Ingin kusembuhkan, dengan cara yang benar
Waktu bergulir, melangkah lirih
Merasa tak mampu menyampaikan
Perasaanku yang mengalir deras
Ke lautanmu, namun kau t'lah berlalu

Reff:
Perih rasanya, bila mengingat
Aku tak berdaya, menggapai hatimu di sana
Betapa aku menyesal
Tak ada lagi kata
Yang bisa kuucap

Tak Ada Lagi Kata (original first draft)

More Than This (One Direction cover)

Emotion (Destiny's Child cover)

Boo'd Up (Ella Mai cover)

Lyrics:

Perasaanku.. 
Perasaanku.. 
Sudah lama ku bertanya-tanya apa maknanya? 
Bisikanmu.. 
Bisikanmu.. 
Sudah lama ku ingin mencari dari mana datangnya? 

Reff: 
Pejamkanlah mata dan berbaringlah di tempat yang tenang.. 
Kenalilah dia yang slalu ada kala anganku menggila.. 
Selamilah dia hingga tak ada ruang lagi yang tersisa.. 
Walau sulit kembali ke permukaan,  aku tak lagi terkurung oleh dia.. 

Sengatanmu.. 
Sengatanmu.. 
Sudah lama ku ingin memaki dan membenci dirimu.. 
Pelukanmu.. 
Pelukanmu.. 
Dalam sekejap menipu akalku dan menjerat batinku.. 

Bridge:
Sanggupkah aku terlepas darinya?
Sanggupkah aku menerima dia?

Perasaan (original)

She won 2 Grammys!!! Can't wait to see H.E.R. at Java Jazz Festival next month

Focus (H.E.R. cover)

Saw H.E.R. at java jazz yesterday and I'm lost for words to describe how unbelievable she was

Feel A Way (H.E.R. cover)

A song about a girl who's sick of her boyfriend and she just can't stand it anymore.... 
This is so far my most favorite original that I've ever written..

Hope you enjoy ;)
