Kapanlagi.com - Separuh Nafas became one of the most popular songs of Dewa 19 in the album BINTANG LIMA released in 2000. Apparently, behind its popularity, Separuh Nafas was also the only song considered lame by the members of Dewa 19 at that time, consisting of Ahmad Dhani, Andra Ramadhan, Once Mekel, and Tyo Nugros.

"Actually, the most lame song became the most famous, Separuh Nafas. Yes, that song was the one we didn't think about the most, Once and Tyo are still witnesses. Even Separuh Nafas didn't have Tyo's drums, because we didn't really think about it," said Ahmad Dhani in FX Jakarta Selatan, Thursday (30/6).

1. Because of the Drum Loop

Not only considered lame, the song Separuh Nafas was also not done seriously. Behind all the unseriousness, Ahmad Dhani is actually surprised why the song could explode in the market and still be popular until now.

"And the arrangement, I also thought about it half-heartedly, not seriously. But it became a song. Strange, right? There's also a feng shui factor, because before the song Separuh Nafas, the drum loop was similar to many other famous songs," said Ahmad Dhani.

"That's why we didn't use real drums because the drum loop was previously popular from the song Duran Duran, Come Undone. So people unconsciously liked the song because of the drum loop," said Dhani.

2. Considered Unphilosophical

In addition, Ahmad Dhani also considers Separuh Nafas by Dewa 19 to be a song in the album BINTANG LIMA with unphilosophical lyrics.

"Although the lyrics, I'm not really proud of making the lyrics for Separuh Nafas. Not philosophical," concluded Ahmad Dhani.
