One Week After the Release of the Song 'Father's Advice', the Father of Singer and Comedian Vikri Rahmat Passed Away While Leaning on His Shoulder

Kapanlagi.com - Vikri Rahmat, a singer who is also known as a comedian, shares the story behind the creation of the song titled Father's Advice. This song holds deep meaning for Vikri, as its lyrics are inspired by the advice given by his father.

However, there is one thing that makes this song even more emotional: Vikri's father passed away just one week after the song was released. At the KLY office, Vikri recounted that he did not feel any signs before his father's passing.

"He was still healthy, still drinking coffee, still smoking. The interesting part of the story is that this song was made 100% based on his quotes of advice. So, the advice he gave to me, to his children, to my friends who often hang out at home," he said.

The song Father's Advice is created based on quotes of advice from the father that have been taken and arranged into lyrics. The advice is not only intended for Vikri but also for his siblings and friends who often hang out at home. Vikri also shares stories about his relationship with his father, whom he considers like a friend.

"I would share my thoughts with my dad, share my thoughts with my dad. Then my dad said I want to make a song. Because, thank God, I am very lucky that my dad and I are like friends," he explained.

"Wow, like really friends. I mean, I often share with him, I once did something mischievous and told him about it. So I talked to him, and I wanted to make a song about a father's advice to his child," he continued.

2. There Was Intervention from the Late Father in the Advice Song

The process of creating the song was also accompanied by the father, where every lyric and melody created was always consulted with him. After the song was finished, the father even participated in the making of the music video. However, a week after the song was released, Vikri's father suddenly felt pain in his stomach and had to be rushed to the hospital.

"Yes, I submitted the songs and melodies to him. Then, in the end, he even joined the music video after it was all done," he said.

On the way, his father leaned on Vikri's shoulder before taking his last breath peacefully. For Vikri, this experience is a very valuable journey. The song, which was initially intended to bridge communication between father and son, turned out to be the father's last advice.

"This is very spiritual for me. The process of dying was very peaceful, until he managed to say La ilaha illallah allahu akbar, passing away on a Friday," Vikri revealed.

3. An Expensive Journey

The song Nasihat Bapak has now become a valuable memory for Vikri, not only as a work of art but also as the last message from his father that he will always remember.

"For me, this is quite an expensive journey. Compared to previous journeys or experiences. Because the intention was initially to create a song to bridge communication between father and child," he concluded.
