In Terms of Listening to Music, You Can Still Enjoying It Even Without Knowing The Lyrics

Back then in 2019 (perhaps), I attended a gigs with my loved ones.

It's an intimate concert of our favorite band.

I would say that it just a coincidence that we like the same band between all the possible band that we could choose to like.

But idk, it's just how the life works, isn't it? Haha

We were using public transportation to get to the venue

We strolling around Jakarta with our best mood because this band was always in my lifetime bucket list to watch!

I already listen to that band songs from the first album until the last one. I even memorized all the songs lyrics!

We finally arrived at venue

This venue is freshly renovated and became a suitable place to spending the night with all these entertainment things

We enter the venue, window-shopping the merchandise, getting our tickets, and enter the gigs room without no hesitation

We didn't got the best front line but our view was good enough to enjoy the show (I thought her view was a bit blocked by a tall man that standing in front of her haha but she still managed the way to enjoy the show to the fullest)

In between of the excitement, I said to her

"Kamu udah ngapalin semua lagunya?"

"Ehm belom sih, aku paling denger-denger aja lagu-lagu yang aku suka. Sisanya paling dengerin shuffle di playlistnya mereka" she said with coolness and catch me confused

"Kamu ngapalin semuanya?" she continued

"Iya dong! Aku bener-bener ngapalin semua lagunya. Dari album pertama malah haha biar nikmatin shownya sambil sing along sampe suaraku abis!" I replied with proud

"aku juga bakal nikmatin shownya sampe puas!" she replied with more proud

"tanpa tau semua liriknya?" I said thet to flirt her

"buat nikmatin lagu tuh ga harus hapal liriknya tau" she replied confident.

I lift my left eyebrow and gave the expression like, youu sureeeeeee dudee????????? She laughin then

"kalau ada lagu yang kamu gatau liriknya, dengerin aja musiknya dan nikmatin vibesnya" she added that fast enough

I didn't got what she told me about and just accepted that with confused

Like, how can we enjoy the music concert without singing along all the songs?

And then the show started

The first song that they play was one of the hits thet their fans well-known

Of course, I singing along with all my heart

And she singing along too with all her heart

The next song was their hits of their latest album

I was sure that I am singing along with all my heart, again

She was listening to the verse with big smile and when the chorus came out she singing along with all her heart again

Because the setlist was not announced, we were really blind about what songs that going to play next

And then the time when we all didn't know the song has finally arrived

It was their hits in their second album that came out about 20 years ago (maybe) and it's a deep cuts!

Almost 90% of the crowd didn't know that song

I looked at her and she just smile as her eyes saying, this time we will enjoy the music without the lyrics! Letsgo!

As I can remember, the song was pretty absurd but I remembered that I laughin so hard right from the start that song played

It's because they invited a guest star to sang their song, which is makin it more absurd!

The surprise, the performance, the dance that I did was pretty insane

I having a good time by just enjoying music without knowing the lyrics

That event makes me realize so many things that happened to my life until now

In terms to found happiness, there is no specific way to achieve it, there is no just one way to grab it

Hapiness can be found with thousands ways that you never thought before.

Just like enjoying music

You can having a good time with singing along with it or enjoying the music without knowing the lyrics either

As this essay published on my blog, I just heard a song from a band named Sleep Alley

Sleep Alley is a band from Makati City, Philippines

And you know what, I really love their music ahaha

Can't imagined before I enjoyed a song that has lyrics which I can't understand

I wish, you can found happiness with a way that you can't understand too ahaha

Cheers and until we meet again, Exparadoks Gangs!
