Padi

Released: June 18, 2003

Producer: Jan Djuhana

Kularut luruh dalam keheningan hatimu
Jatuh bersama derasnya tetes airmata
Kau benamkan wajahmu yang berteduhkan duka
Melagukan kepedihan di dalam jiwamu

Tak pernah terpikirkan olehku
Untuk tinggalkan engkau seperti ini
Tak terbayangkan jikaku beranjak pergi
Betapa hancur dan harunya hidupmu

Sebenarnya ku tak ingin berada disini
Di tempat jauh yang sepi memisahkan kita
Kuberharap semuanya pasti akan berbeda
Meski tak mungkin menumbuhkan jiwa itu lagi

Aku tak mengerti apa yang mungkin terjadi
Sepenuh hatiku aku tak mengerti

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.”
