Padi

Released: May 9, 2005

Aku membayangkan surga ada didepanku
Depan mataku
Saat aku menikmati teduhnya wajahmu Indah hatimu

Tak jemu-jemu ku pandang
Begitu elok kau tercipta

Reff :
Tak pernah henti-hentinya aku
Terus mencintai dirimu
Tak pernah henti-hentinya aku
Tetap menyayangi dirimu
Seperti adanya diriku
Seperti adanya aku ini
Seperti adanya diriku
Seperti adanya

Aku ingin melupakan hasrat tuk Melangkah sejenak pergi
Inginku sempurnakan hidupku disampingmu Memeluk jiwamu

Tak jemu-jemu ku pandang
Begitu elok kau tercipta

Formed at Airlangga University in Indonesia, Padi (then known as Soda) performed their first show in 1996. The name change occurred a year later – it was meant to symbolize the band’s humility, as the word means rice, which is a symbol of modesty – and by 1999, the band had a deal and an album in stores. The deal, which was signed after a rep from Sony caught a performance at a pub, led to a successful appearance on a various-artists compilation.

The debut, Lain Dunia, was followed by Sesuatu Yang Tertunda in 2001. Selling nearly 500,000 copies, the band solidified its standing with the mega-hit single “Kasih Tak Sampai.” Their next album, Save My Soul, would be even bigger, hitting the half-a-million sales mark its first week after release. Padi released their fourth, self-titled, album in 2005.

There have also been a handful of compilation appearances for the group, including a 2002 World Cup album contribution, “Work of Heaven.”
