Emang dasar ya si Boyce Avenue ini, mau lagu seceria apa, jikalau di cover sama mereka, entah kenapa terdengar begitu adem dan*ehem* mellow (asal ga galau aja sih)
.
boy i think about you every night and day. I’m addicted wanna jump inside your love. I wouldn’t wanna have it any other way . I’m addicted and I just can’t get enough
As I remember, I heard this song for the first time when i was listening to Geronimo FM via Jogjastreamers.com. I never thought that it was local indie musician from Jogja! Known as Answer Sheet Acoustic or Ukulele duo from Yogyakarta, they really have unique taste of music.
The ukelele somehow sounded so “crunchy” in my ear, in a good way. The voice of the singer also is very good. I guess they are quite famous in their hometown and also at ukulele’s community.
When i saw their performance below, I couldn’t believe they could produce such nice music by only using ukulele. Oh! I’m officially in love with them. I would like to watch their live performance.

Do you think life is a thrill to commemorate a failure deal? You may stay, You may leave They probably go,and they probably win.
100 Hours,with no directions it will end, as an elations You may stay, You may leave They probably go,and they probably win.
And i choose,to stay… in here….
Lights out,in the night Celebration turns into fashion You may right, you may wrong You may have the chance,but it’s all undone
Bad attitude, decreasing salary Even cant buy a roti You may right, you may wrong You may have the chance,but it’s all undone
I’m not a big fans of angry birds. My lab’s mate are. And i love to see how them get so angry when they couldn’t kill the pigs! We should name this angry humans, not birds. haha.
Saya tahu musik itu adalah masalah selera. Enak di kuping saya belum tentu enak di kuping kamu atau dia. Jadi rasanya agak kejam kalau menghina abege abege labil yang doyan sama ST.12, the bagindaz, smash, dan band-band yang dianggap alay lainnya (loh ini bukannya juga menyepet ya? *plak!)
Jujur, saya tidak terlalu suka dengan band band beraliran melayu yang menyamenye dan melagukan tentang patah hati, kesepian, selingkuh dan semacamnya, in a cheezy way. Ini menurut saya loh.
Beberapa lagu yang tadinya menurut saya oh sungguh enggak banget, setelah di aransemen dan dibawakan ulang, *triiinng*, langsung membuat saya jatuh cinta.
.
1. Cenat cenut by Funk off (original by Smash)
.
oh siapa sih yang ga tahu smash? You know me so well deh. either you love them or hate them. boyband ini termasuk lumayan fenomenal di dunia permusikan tanah air. Beranggotakan 7 cowok yang katanya ganteng dan bersuara -yah you know lah- lumayan, Smash ternyata memiliki banyak penggemar di tanah air.
.
2. Cinta satu malam by Afgan (Original by Melinda)
.
Saya kenal lagu ini saat berkaraoke ketika sedang pulang ke tanah air. Reaksi pertama saya adalah what the *niit* !!? Lagu macam apa ini? Namun, setelah menyaksikan afgan nan tampan membawakan lagu ini, well, tiba-tiba saja saya berubah pikiran. (Dasar perempuan lemah!)
.
3. Dibawa kemana by Kunto Adji (Original by Armada)
.
Pertama mendengar lagu ini ketika saya dijemput ayah bersama 2 krucil keponakan. And guess what? 2 keponakan saya ini hafal mati beberapa lagu Armada. Saya juga ga ngerti siapa yang beli CD Armada kemudian diplay di tape mobil. Duh, memang sih, sekarang tidak ada lagi sejenis Melissa dengan abang tukang baksonya, atau Shindy Cenora dengan Aku cinta rupiahnya. but seriously? itu keponakan saya umurnya baru 6 tahun. -__-”
nah, ketika tidak sengaja melihat video ini di Youtube, sumpah saya langsung terpana.
.
Masih ada beberapa lagu yang enggak banget tapi setelah di cover jadi iya banget versi saya. Sementara ini dulu deh.
Sorry, you have to watch the video directly on Youtube.
One of my favorite ajep ajep song lately. Far East Movement has been known from their phenomenal song Like a G6. But Rocketeer is less ajep ajep than that.
Interesting facts about them is even though they come from US, but they are Asian. Formed in 2003 and consists of Kev Nish (Kevin Nishimura), who is of Japanese and Chinese descent, Prohgress (James Roh), of Korean descent, J-Splif (Jae Choung), of Korean descent and DJ Virman (Virman Coquia), of Filipino descent.
Here we go, come with me
There’s a world out there that we should see
Take my hand, close your eyes
With you right here, I’m a rocketeer
Let’s fly
Up, up here we go
Where we stop nobody knows, knows
Where we go we don’t need roads,
Where we stop nobody knows,
To the stars if you really want it
Got, got a jetpack with your name on it
Above the clouds in the atmosphere,
Just say the words and we outta here,
Hold my hand if you feeling scared,
We flying up, up outta here
Baby, we can stay fly like a G6
Shop the streets of Tokyo, get you fly kicks
Girl you always on my mind, got my head up in the sky
And I’m never looking down feeling priceless,
Where we at, only few have known
Go on the next level, Super Mario
I hope this works out, Cardio
Til’ then let’s fly, Geronimo
Nah, I never been in space before
But I never seen a face like yours
You make me feel like I could touch the planets
You want the moon, girl watch me grab it
See I ain’t never seen the stars this close
You got me struck by the way you glow
I’m like, oh,
One of the most selfish song i’ve ever heard. haha. I love the video, the tone is super warm and the cinematography is also very good. And it reminds me of Jogja a lot.
His voice got me since the first time i hear them playing at @geronimofm . Serak serak seksi macho gimana gitu. Geez!
My friend’s friend even said that, “Suara batuknya aja seksi, bu Yos”. So true! Haha
.
Further information about them could be found here or you could follow the vocalist’s twitter @piksijasmine or blog
Too bad there aren’t many video of them available at youtube.
.
If you live in Jogja, you could see their performance at Geronimo cafe, I heard that they often do live performance their. I have to see this band live one day.

pernah ku mencoba temukan cinta sesungguhnya yang kusangka lebih berarti dari pada yg sebelumnya
ketika mulai terbuai diawalnya kurasa ku tlah lupakan yang dahulu
jalani kisah baru menuai berbagai cerita mencoba memahami dirimu walau masih tak terbiasa
ketika terbuka rahasia kita berdua terungkap ku tak mampu lupakannya
aku harus meninggalkanmu tuk kembali lagi kepadanya kuharap kau mau mengerti karena dia (yang terbaik) berikan cinta yang lebih baik (cinta terbaik untukku)
ketika terasa kau gagal menggantikannya kuyakin kian merindukannya
