Yang sangka, Ia tak berdaya Runtuhkan rencana, pikir kan usang, berdebu Renunglah, semua tercipta baik, taburlah maka ia Ian terlahir. -- Verse 2 Pijakkan mulai langkah tak sempurna, tubuh yang kaku, tetap tak mengapa. Ragu menjadi liku perjalanan, Saatnya redakan demi merasa Chorus 2 Renunglah, semua tercipta baik, taburlah maka ia terlahir Lihatlah dirimu yang pancarnya tak pernah mati Hijaunya emaskan yang bergantungan Menyala terang Interlude: Redakan, redakan sunyi yang terpekak Legakan, legakan nafas yang terbeban

North 04:34
Verse 1: There's this place I know just five clicks north, As I marched, my soul went south. All the matches lighted, they ignite And I'm ghosted by the smoke Then the fume spoke, "How alone". Verse 2: And here I'm learning from my fridge magnets, On why my north went south? With all my effort spent wiping windows, I hope this rain stopped on my right, As the sun shines upon the one, Why it reflects me off the glass? Chorus: At this point of my life, I just want some peace of mind Verse 3: Used to know a place just some clicks north, Well, at least I gave it all To travel far enough beyond my realm Though for most, it's nothing What a lame ode to be sung And I'll be patient once, thrice more..

St. Germain 04:46
Verse 01: Why did my knee slammed your face? Just because I wanted to. Who would've thought the guilt haunts deep? Oh all the shits I've did to Chorus 01: Through the oscilloscope My heart rate shoots out the roof And there goes my youth As a dumb kid. How unsightly too Verse02: Why do I lied to be like them? All the cool and snobby ones. Who would've thought facades bend skull? Oh all the shits I've tried to be Chorus02: Crank the oscillator Let my heart burst to shreds And there goes my mouth Boasted bunch of fake horrid tales Bridge: Where can I hide myself from this? Oh Lord, they know my face. Chorus03: Through the Infinite Corridor, Wishing myself something good Well, I found out I played along with Death's freaking plan Turn that oscillator, I know, I might still mess up now and then Outro: Just gotta sculpt my life's tone better

about

Indonesia’s social distancing situation has been on high alert this past few weeks, and it doesn’t take too much time before it inflicts significant impact to everyone living in this nation without any regards to social status. It even drives people to start their own initiatives to help each other with whatever they can help with, whether it’s monetary or non-monetary, due to the severity of the situation. We understand that sometimes in this dire situation the only help we can give is only by doing what we can do best with no ill intentions. That is why we decided to release our first EP, ’St. Germain EP’, during this tough situation, with a simple hope: to help ease those mental pains that people need to withstood in this situation besides the financially related crisis they need to face.

’St. Germain EP’ consists of 4 songs. Two of which we haven’t released anywhere before. These two new songs are titled ‘North’ and ‘St.Germain’. ’North’ is our first attempt to write a love song with a perspective of someone who has struggled through a lot with non-fruitful efforts that resulted in pushing oneself to have another extra dose of patience until he/she can finally find a shed of light. In continuation ‘St. Germain’ tells a story about accepting a past full of regrets that doesn’t reflect to one’s own ideals after they have grown. In the end, one can only move on to the future with a realization that he/she might still mess up now and then while hoping from the lessons learned, they can be a tad better than before. Another two singles contained within this EP are ’Lula’ and ’Tentang Renung & Tabur’ which we have released before.

This EP has also been physically released with compact disc format as a Record Store Day Indonesia Drops 2021 exclusive release on 12th June 2021. We sincerely hope that, the release of ’St. Germain EP’ in various digital streaming platforms with four lyric videos on our Youtube Channel, can help make this EP become more accessible for everyone. We are also happy to announce that our single ’North’ has been featured in Spotify’s editorial playlist ’Fresh Finds Indonesia’. Please do enjoy this release from us and we sincerely hope you’ll be entertained.
