Kapanlagi.com - KLovers still remember the song Tinggal Kenangan which was once popular because of its mystical story behind it? In addition to the song mentioned to be created by a girl named Gaby, there are several songs by Indonesian musicians that are also known to have mysteries and mystical stories.

Well, here are a series of popular Indonesian songs that are believed to have mysterious stories behind them and the actual facts of the songs.

1. Gaby - 'Tinggal Kenangan'

The song Tinggal Kenangan itself was very popular and booming around 2005. This song became popular after the tragic story behind its creation surfaced.

This song is said to be created by someone named Gaby after being left by her lover forever. After creating this song, Gaby allegedly ended her own life because she couldn't bear the sadness of her lover's death. In the past, many people believed that if you listen to Tinggal Kenangan alone at night, Gaby's ghost will come to you.

Quoting Brillio.net on Thursday (4/6/2020), after this song became more viral, several people appeared and admitted that the song was their creation. One of them is a music group named Caramel. They stated that the song was created by their guitarist in 2003 with the original title Jauh.

2. Sheila On 7 - 'Sephia'

If we talk about mystical stories behind a song, it would not be complete without discussing this song by Sheila On 7. Sephia is said to be taken from the name of a fan who died on the way to a Sheila On 7 concert. The guitarist, Eros, reportedly made the song as a form of tribute to the fan after being 'visited' one night.

However, Eros denies this mystical story. He reveals that the song does not have any mystical or tragic story behind it. The song Sephia only tells about the difficulty of someone leaving their dark lover. The name Sephia itself was chosen because according to Eros, this dark lover figure needed a name.

3. Peterpan - I Say Beautifully

The mystical story behind the song Kukatakan Dengan Indah began when the studio used by Peterpan to record the song was the same studio commonly used by Nike Ardilla. Since then, the mystical story of the song has circulated.

Many fans claim to have heard a woman's voice from minutes 4:42 to 4:52. The voice is believed by many to be the voice of the late Nike Ardilla. Until now, there has been no further confirmation from Peterpan regarding this matter.

4. Laluna - 'Selepas Kau Pergi'

Quoting Brillio, on Thursday (4/6/2020), many fans claimed to have heard Javanese instrumental in the middle of the song Selepas Kau Pergi by Laluna. This made many listeners feel chills when hearing that part.

What makes many listeners suspicious is that the music does not match the tempo of the song Selepas Kau Pergi. The instrument becomes more audible during music breaks. Unfortunately, until now, there is no statement from Laluna regarding this matter.

5. Dewa 19 - 'Kamulah Satu-satunya'

The mystery of this song has nothing to do with mystical things, but rather the lyrics of the song Kamulah Satu-satunya. In the last minute of the song performed by Dewa 19, there are words that cannot be understood. Ari Lasso, who was still the vocalist of the band at that time, uttered a sentence that was not recorded in the lyrics script.

After almost 10 years since the song was released, the mystery of those words was finally revealed. A Twitter account uploaded the answer to the question of most Baladewa. It turns out that the sentence says 'Cek Dan'.

Ari Lasso revealed that it was his request for Ahmad Dhani to check the recording of his voice after the vocal take. Unfortunately, the voice was forgotten to be deleted during the editing process.

6. Payung Teduh - 'Restless'

This song by Payung Teduh is famous for its tragic story and gives you goosebumps. It is said that the lyrics of the song 'Restless' were taken from a poem written by one of the band members who committed suicide.

The poet is said to have been desperate after being left by his lover forever. He decided to end his life by hanging himself while hiking with his friends.

However, the band members have denied this story. According to an interview uploaded on the Kalaumood Project YouTube channel in February 2017, they revealed that this story is not true. They believe that it originated from a creepy pasta and is simply an interpretation by listeners.

7. 'Lingsir Wengi'

The song Lingsir Wengi is always associated with the figure of kuntilanak ghost. Many people believe that this song is used to summon astral beings.

This perception emerged after the song was used in the horror film KUNTILANAK in the early 2000s. In the film, the song Lingsir Wengi is used to summon the figure of kuntilanak.

Quoting Brillio.net, on Thursday (4/6/2020), this song was actually created by Sunan Kalijaga to ward off evil and disturbances from supernatural beings. This song actually means a prayer asking for protection from the Almighty Creator.
