} happy belated birthday indonesia

i know its really late, but i guess i wasnt sure how to blog about it properly.. and anyway i guess its become a sort of routine for me to give people late wishes, with all the late bday presents i've been giving out this year and now late teacher's day cards too...

but. anyway. i found these two videos today.

i felt quite touched. i know indonesia has been going through problem after problem, for the longest time... but its when i see things like these that i know there is still hope yet. there is still a lot of heart left, behind the corruption and the dusty roads and whatnots.

lyrics are here:

For You - Samsons

seems you wanna fall then i hold your hand
seems you wanna cry then i catch up your tears down
seems you wanna be loved then i'll be right there by your side

give me and take me as your lover
i'll be there for you although the wind will hold me
i'll be watching you though you stand in front of me

it's all about the things called love
and make me do everything for you

seems you wanna share then i'll be next to you
seems you wanna glow then i will light up your life
seems you wanna love then i'll give you my love
give me and take me as your lover

i'll be there for you although the wind will hold me
i'll be watching you though you stand in front of me

it's all about the things called love
that makes me do everything for you

i'll be there for you although the wind will hold me
i'll be watching you though you stand in front of me

i'll be there for you although the wind will hold me
i'll be watching you though you stand in front of me

i'll be there i'll be there i'll be there for you [3x]

-- BTW i love this band, they are the ones who also sang Kenangan Terindah... oh and sorry if the lyrics are not accurate.. only found one site with the lyrics. OH and this is also the song played during Heroes commercial! everytime i watched it i wondered if its by the same Samsons that i like, and..it is!!! hahaha so excited.

Bendera - Cokelat

biar saja ku tak sehebat matahari
tapi s'lalu ku coba 'tuk menghangatkanmu
biar saja ku tak setegar batu karang
tapi s'lalu ku coba 'tuk melindungimu

biar saja ku tak seharum bunga mawar
tapi slalu ku coba mengharumkanmu
biar saja ku tak seelok langit sore
tapi s'lalu ku coba 'tuk mengindahkanmu

ku pertahankan kau demi kehormatan bangsa
ku pertahankan kau demi tumpah darah
semua pahlawan-pahlawanku

merah putih teruslah kau berkibar
di ujung tiang tertinggi di indonesiaku ini
merah putih teruslah kau berkibar
di ujung tiang tertinggi di indonesiaku ini
merah putih teruslah kau berkibar
ku akan s'lalu menjagamu

biar saja ku tak seharum bunga mawar
tapi s'lalu ku coba 'tuk mengharumkanmu
biar saja ku tak seelok langit sore
tapi s'lalu ku coba 'tuk mengindahkanmu

ku pertahankan kau demi kehormatan bangsa
ku pertahankan kau demi tumpah darah
semua pahlawan-pahlawanku

merah putih teruslah kau berkibar
di ujung tiang tertinggi di indonesiaku ini
merah putih teruslah kau berkibar
di ujung tiang tertinggi di indonesiaku ini
merah putih teruslah kau berkibar
ku akan s'lalu menjagamu
