The Loss of a Loved One, Ikang Fawzi and D'paken Band Present the Song 'Endless Longing'

Kapanlagi.com - Ikang Fawzi once again demonstrates his existence in the Indonesian music scene by joining a collaboration project with D'paken Band. In this collaboration, they released a song titled Endless Longing which carries a theme about the sadness of losing a loved one.

This song serves as an expression of deep emotion, especially for Ikang who has just experienced sorrow after being left by his wife, Marissa Haque, on October 2, 2024. The song "Endless Longing" was created by one of the members of D'paken Band who also experienced loss. Ikang Fawzi expressed that this song has a deep meaning for him.

"This song means a lot to me because it resonates with the feeling of losing someone we love," said Ikang Fawzi in Tebet, South Jakarta, Friday (11/1/2024).

1. Stepping Out of the Usual Genre

D'paken is a band from Palembang consisting of two members, Asep as the vocalist and guitarist, and Ken as the drummer. They bring a distinctive Malay pop music style in this song, which is different from the pop rock genre usually performed by Ikang. Although this is not a familiar genre for Ikang, he still feels that this song can express his deep longing.

"This is not my genre, but I appreciate the sadness in this song, reducing the longing for the person we love," he explained.

Collaborating with D'paken Band has provided a meaningful experience for Ikang. In his creative process, Ikang strives to perform the song in his own way to create a unique harmony.

"Actually, I have always appreciated genre differences. All genres are good; it's just that I happen to prefer pop rock. But let me ask first, I'll sing in my own way. The differences become enjoyable to see and hear," said Ikang.

2. An Emotional Journey for Those Who Have Experienced Loss

Ken, one of the members of D'paken Band, also feels that this collaboration carries deep meaning. He has just lost his parents, so he can relate to the grief that Ikang feels.

"At first, I couldn't believe it, you know, we know Uncle Ikang has just lost someone. I also lost my parents, so we tried," said Ken.

According to Ikang, this song is not just a musical collaboration, but also an emotional journey that can be understood by everyone who has ever experienced loss.

"This collaboration becomes meaningful because I am also in a period of mourning. For friends who have lost someone, they can definitely feel it deeply. How we respond, in the end, we understand this is God's will," Ikang said with deep emotion.

Through this song, Ikang Fawzi and D'paken Band strive to convey the profound message that longing and loss are parts of life that must be accepted. Their collaboration serves as proof that music can be a medium for expressing feelings and embracing those who experience similar grief, providing solace in every note.
