Ifan Seventeen Releases New Song 'Jangan Paksa Rindu (Beda)', Telling the Story of Couples Who Endure Out of Necessity

Kapanlagi.com - Musician Ifan Seventeen greets his fans again with a very touching new work. This time, he released a single titled "Jangan Paksa Rindu (Beda)". This song is an important part of his latest full album titled Resonance.

This song, created by Ifan Seventeen together with Opik Kurdi, raises the theme of a relationship that has started to feel bland. The story focuses on a couple who are still physically together, but their feelings have changed significantly compared to when they first started their relationship. The distance now is no longer about space, but rather hearts that are slowly drifting apart.

In this work, Ifan wants to invite listeners to be more honest with their own feelings. According to him, forcing a relationship that no longer has love will only add to the emotional burden for both parties. Instead of happiness, a forced togetherness will only leave deeper wounds.

"This song is about many couples out there who are actually at a point of betraying their own feelings. They lie to themselves, staying together even though they are very uncomfortable, because they are afraid to step out of their comfort zone," said Ifan Seventeen.

1. Simple Arrangement Yet Very Emotional

Musically, "Don't Force Longing (Different)" is packaged with a fairly simple yet very emotional arrangement. Ifan's warm voice gives it a unique life, making the message in this song feel so close to the realities of life that many people out there often experience.

This single is the flagship of the album Resonance. The choice of this album title is not without reason. This name is taken from the phenomenon of resonance, which is identical to sound vibrations. Ifan hopes that his works this time will not just pass through the ears, but will be able to provide emotional vibrations that leave a lasting impression on the listeners.

Ifan's career itself is indeed full of ups and downs, especially after the major tragedy that befell his bandmates in 2018. However, his spirit in creating has never dimmed. Through this album, he shows maturity in songwriting that combines elements of reflection, loss, and hope.
