RAIHAN
I would say I'm the loyal-type. I'd stick to thing that I feel good with eventhough they'd become pretty much overrated.Call me old-fashion, I still have Backstreet Boys and Westlife in my playlist and never have any urge to move 'em out. I'm happy with that. Well-at least, that's what I thought. Until one day I stumbled upon my old stack of CDs and cassette pile and discovered that I haven't actually been that loyal to my past.
There were bunch of 'em cassette. Most of them are nasyids that my sister and I recorded from our old radio, the one she got for her birthday. I remembered vividly how we would wait patiently for the music charts every saturday night and record our favourite songs on the DJ's cue. How w'd refrain ourselves from any giggling or doors-banging as it'll disturb the recording and spoil the whole playlist.
I know for a fact the cassettes don't work anymore. We've tried it on before; the ribbon is all messed up.
And then I remembered my chilhood songs; my actual childhood songs. Before I knew 'Seasons In the Sun' and 'Shape of My Heart'. Before 'Complicated' and 'Welcome to my Life'.
I remembered the sweet-melodious, Raihan
There was a sudden intense longings and so I immediately googled their songs, only to find myself crying after listening to the first few soundtracks.
When I was a kid, the melody was downright catchy and easy to follow.
I never knew the lyrics could be this deep.
God bless them, wherever they are now.
Here's the Album if you want to download.
There'a a blog that have helped compiled and upload the songs and so I'm just redirecting you guys to the file.
All credits go to them and their production house.
Spread their music, will ya. Raihan was famous. They won many awards, locally and internationally. They've held concerts at Russia and France and around the world.
How come? Well, they touched people's soul
Listen to their lyrics. You'll go, no wonder~
