about

Di tengah pembatasan sosial yang tengah digencarkan, Jemala memutuskan untuk merilis EP perdana, “St. Germain EP”, ke semua digital streaming platform, dengan harapan yang sederhana: bahwa lagu-lagu dari EP ini bisa menemani siapapun dalam menjalani hari-hari yang sedang menantang ini.

‘St. Germain EP’ berisikan empat lagu, di mana dua di antaranya belum pernah dirilis di manapun. Dua lagu baru itu berjudul ‘North’ dan ‘St.Germain’.

‘North’ bercerita tentang ketetapan hati setelah melewati berbagai bentuk perjuangan tanpa hasil, dan keinginan untuk terus bersabar hingga menemukan titik terang. Seperti sebuah kelanjutan, ‘St.Germain’ bercerita tentang penerimaan akan masa lalu yang tidak semuanya terjadi sesuai dengan apa yang diharapkan, dan usaha untuk tetap berjuang menjadi lebih baik meskipun memori buruk itu selalu melekat.

Dua lagu lain dari EP ini sudah pernah dirilis sebelumnya, yaitu ’Lula’ dan ‘Tentang Renung & Tabur’

EP ini pernah dirilis dalam format rilisan fisik CD, melalui Record Store Day Drops 2021 yang diselenggarakan oleh Record Store Day Indonesia di pertengahan bulan Juni kemarin.

lyrics

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..
