A Tribute for A Legend (2)

For a true Legend like Chrisye - saying goodbye is the hardest yet most touching thing ever in the world of Indonesian music. Many websites posted this sad news and many more pay tribute to him through blogs and comments. His clips on YouTube have been flooded with comments .. all saying goodbyes and mourning over him.

I wish I were there in Indonesia to be able to share more of this feelings with many people, as I believe (and it's true) that during these days his songs will be heard all over media, radio, tv, internet, cellphone, and in the hearts of his fans. But I am thankful that with today's technology I can share it with those who are afar from our beautiful country. Just like this community comments on kompas, it has so many beautiful stories and comments about Chrisye from Indonesian people in other countries, and I heart the post.

In this video clip (one of his latest colaboration with Ungu from album Senyawa), Chrisye was shown near the end of the clip. The video was made during his sickness and we can totally see that he was not well, he had lost his beautiful locks, and the video was shot with him on wheelchair (but not shown). Still his voice sounded as great as ever... the same way we remember him in his earlier songs back in the 70's. Amazing...

All I can say is that Chrisye songs are not like any other songs. His songs are forever, his songs are evergreen. For they are as true as our hearts with every bit of happiness and sadness, ups and dows that we can relate too. Many of them often remind us about the greatness of God such as songs: Sabda Alam, Hening, Kidung and Damai Bersamamu.

One of these days I will compile all of Chrisye's songs and post it on a side blog. It takes more than words to speak of him and his songs will say it all.

So once again, another tear sheds for him, another song to sing farewell..
