Came out the belly of the beast feeling like a king. That song was the only thing keeping my head above the tide while I fought that poison. And my woman? She was the anchor. She poured love into my cracks until I was whole again. No, you won’t see ‘2%’ tatted on my arm, but it’s etched deep in my heartbeat. Can a simple ‘thank you’ still shine like a gold medal hangin’ round your neck? @dynragsnyyy

Nothing seems too satisfy. But I now inhabit a comfort, an unforeseen semiotic signifier, that was entirely absent from the fragmented narratives of our difficult traversal. With my woman @dynragsnyyy

“Watching the So Called Wrap Showcase” I recently had the chance to watch so called wrap perform as part of the launch for their new EP, So called wrap. They played five songs in a rather unique venue the very building where my wife used to work. The EP really focuses on social issues from a female perspective. For example, their song “be ware” seems to be about a woman who feels like she’s been used and then abandoned. Another track, “Appaneun, eopseo,” tells the story of a father’s absence during his daughter’s upbringing. The lyrics come across as very feminist, which makes sense given that two of the three band members are women. I arrived just in time to catch their set, though I lose to see the opening act, a soloist named Difa Chandra. The whole performance had a really laid-back, “tongkrongan” feel very raw and authentic. There were a few fun bloopers, like having to wait for the backing track to start or the background screen showing a desktop, but that just made the whole experience more enjoyable. However, I did find myself a bit confused during the show. The dance floor was pretty empty, and I wasn’t sure if I should be sitting down to enjoy the music or getting up to dance. My confusion grew even more when the band included choreography in their last song. I kept wondering if I’d missed an announcement about how we were supposed to enjoy the show. Personally, I feel like so called wrap’s rock-rap music is meant to be enjoyed by dancing and getting sweaty on the dance floor. Maybe this was just a new kind of gig for me, or perhaps I’m a bit “katro” and not used to this style of performance. Regardless, it was a really fun and unique experience. Despite that little bit of confusion, I genuinely love @socalledwrap for the issues they highlight in their music. Love you all @shesrariaq @ucilucil09 @nikisegara .

That evening was, to put it mildly, rather significant. It found me scribbling a song, a direct result of a peculiar bit of homework from my Queen, @endahwidiastuti . The brief: write about myself, a task that, due to some latent anxieties and a profound sense of utter insignificance in this world, was anything but straightforward. The presentation itself, a brief, awkward spectacle, was met with an unscripted turn. She, as it happened, recruited @afkarthings to devise a piano arrangement on the spot, and in a moment of pure, unfiltered pure sound, my @earhousesongwritingclub fella launched into a full-throated chorus. The spectacle, I must confess, was entirely consuming. A veritable maelstrom. A rather sprawling thanks to everyone, with special mention to @m.abdulrafli_ , who provided a much needed lifeline when the entire creative enterprise hit its entirely predictable wall. One must, after all, perform a certain kind of gratitude, mustn’t one?

Our paths may diverge, yet our destination remains one. I, with all due respect, acknowledge those who choose to step back from the stage. Meanwhile, my colleagues and I have chosen to fight from upon it, for a shared purpose.
