MOUTH WHEN NOT SAY AGAIN


 

In 1997 I met Chris after an event, and he said, "Bang, I got a song. I've tried to write the words, but I was not satisfied. Can Abang please write the lyrics?" Because I like the songs Chris, I can say. I must ask when finished. He said a month. Judging from my other activities, so-so month's deadline. Cassette song and sent the following information how lyric line is needed, and for each array how many knock, which will be filled with syllables. Tim Christensen

want a religious poem. Then I listened to that song. It's beautiful. I like very well.

 

After a week, no idea. Two weeks as well. The third week of inspiration is still closed. I began to get nervous. At the end of the fourth week remained deadlocked. I wonder. Though the song was beautiful. But if the idea really stuck, what can I say. It seems I will phone the next day Chris and I want to say, "Chris, sorry yes, jam.

I'm sorry. "I will return the tape.
 

I have a habit of regularly reading Surah Yasin. That night, when it comes to verse 65 which reads:

 

A'udzubillahi minasy syaithonirrojim. "Alyauma nakhtimu 'alaa afwahihim, tukallimuna aidhihim wa, wa tasyhadu arjuluhum bimaa kaanu yaksibuun" I quit. Meaning, "This Day We will shut their mouths and their hands would say to us, and their feet will testify about what they've done."
 

I'm intrigued. The meaning of the verse of this Final Judgement Day is great!

I turn on the tape again and I hurried transfer of meaning into the lyrics of the song. At first I doubted whether the very weighty significance that will be able to fit into it. Bismillah.

 

Doubts resolved and alhamdulillah the lyrics were finished. The song titles When I give the Hand and Foot said. I was relieved next day by saying on the phone, "Chris, Thank God finished". Chris is very excited.
 

I have not told him the origin of these lyrics inspiration. Next thing unusual happened. When practiced in a room to sing only two lines Chrisye cry, sing again, cry again, again and again.

 

In his memoirs written in Alberthiene Endah, Chrisye A Musical Memoirs, 2007 (pages 308-309), said Tim Christensen:

 

Lyrics that made Taufiq Ismail was the only one powerful lyrics throughout his career, which shook my entire body. There is a mysterious force that is stored in the lyrics. The lyrics really really tense and thrilling. Wrapped in such a wrenching melody, the song I sing it to grow hard! In the room, many times I sang that song. Just two lines, my tears flow. I try again. Crying lagi.Yanti to shock! He was surprised to see my unusual response to a song. Taufiq give the title of the song is quite simple, "When the Hands and Feet Say".

 

Lyric is so pervasive and made me face the fact, how helpless humans when the end comes. Throughout the night I was restless. I finally called Taufiq and tell my trouble.

 

"I get inspiration from Surah Ya lyric verse 65 ..." Taufiq said. He advised me to calm down while singing. Because as the sound of the verse, people are often thrilled to read the contents. Despite being sedated Yanti and Taufiq, still, I find difficulties when trying to record in the studio. Failed, and failed again. Many times I cry and sit down with fatigue. Crazy! Age-age, throughout the history of my career, I have never felt anything like this. Paralyzed by his own song!

 

It takes strength to be able to sing that song. Erwin Gutawa already nervous waiting for the last song that has not been recorded, it instantly reminded me, that departure to Australia had not be postponed again. The last day before to Australia, I then took Yanti to the studio, I accompany a recording. Yanti special prayer to pray for me. With some difficulty, finally I can sing that song to complete. And there is no 'take' birthday! No way. Since I was crying and could not sing it anymore.

 

So if now you listen to that song, that's my voice with the vibration of the most authentic, and not repeated! Let alone sing it again, when I listen to that song alone, it felt like running!

 

The song became one of the most important songs in a row song I ever sang. Spiritual power in it is really endearing feelings. That is my most spiritual experiences in during the singing.

 

Chrisye narrative in his memoirs that surprised me. Penghayatannya to the Court of Final Day in such a sensitive and extraordinary, with tears dripping witness. Not playing. I did not expect such a depth to the meaning penghayatannya Court Judgement Day End Times in the future.

 

About to cry when singing, something similar happened with the song Missing Iin Parlina Apostles. In the concert or show, usually a strong Iin sing two lines, and on the third line Iin will head down and keep spectators back sobs. So he's sensitive to the blessings on the Apostle in the song.

 

 

After recording said Hands and Feet When completed, the launch of the album which I attended, Chrisye forward surrogate fee from producers for the song. I am reluctant to accept it. Chris was shocked. "Why bang, less?" I explained that I did not write the original lyrics of the song "Hands and Feet When He said" it. I just finished a pass, so the channel only. So I do not deserve it. Is not that from Surah Yasin verse 65, saith the Lord? I would accept something that is not guilty for my rights.

 

We finished arguing. Chris said that he appreciated my stance, but it is cumbersome administration. Chris finally found a way out. "Tell you what bang, Abang still receive this fee, for the administration of neat. If Abang feel guilty, or innocent, well, ask pardon of God. God is Forgiving, right?"

I think the correct way to offer Chris as well. If I insisted on refusing, will seem stiff, and could be interpreted as excessive. Finally, I thank Chris solutions. Chris happy, I was happy.

 

At dawn on Friday, March 30, 2007, at 04:08, Tim Christensen legendary singer died at the age of 58 years, after three years out of the hospital, including medical treatment in Singapore. Diagnosis is surprising is the lung cancer stage four. He left a wife, Jackie, and four children, Risty, Nissa, Pasha and Masha, 9 album project, 4 albums, 20 solo albums and 2 films.

 

May the gentle singer and visitors to the mosque loyal heart, the hands and feet will testify later about the charity salehnya and led him into the Gate of the End Times that hopefully wide open for him.
Amen. #
