Kapanlagi.com - The band from Bandar Lampung, Terbit Dari Selatan (TDS), has officially launched their debut song titled Beralih. This song marks their first step after joining the record label Musica Studios. With a poignant atmosphere, poetic lyrics, and experimental arrangements, Beralih offers a deep emotional experience for listeners.
The song Beralih tells the story of meaningful moments of togetherness, depicting the emotional journey of someone who finds peace in true love. In an interview, the band explained that the song's theme is drawn from reflections on everyday life.
“The lyrics carry a message about resilience in relationships, even when the world around is not always friendly. There is a belief that love and deep attachment will always find their way, like the whispers of the heart that the universe eventually answers,” said Elisa Asile.
1. Believe in the Process
The emotional nuance in this song is further strengthened by the use of metaphors that depict awakening after a long sleep and the feeling of freshness after the rain has stopped. This song is designed to provide a new beginning sensation, as if opening a new chapter in life.
Elisa Asile's unique vocals become an essential element that carries the listeners away into the atmosphere of the song. Elisa's melodious voice is combined with the captivating guitar play from Dedes (lead) and Nay (rhythm), along with the solid drum rhythm from Wawank Kanki. This combination produces a minimalist yet meaningful composition, conveying a deep message without losing the essence of chill and melancholy.
“We want this song to be a companion for those who are feeling confused or hesitant in a relationship. ‘Switching’ is about believing in the process, that as long as there is intention, love can overcome all obstacles,” said Elisa, the vocalist.
