Released: July 2, 2001

Songwriter: Piyu Ari Tri Sosianto

Producer: Jan Djuhana Piyu

Kurasakan, kuterlena di putihnya nuansa
Yang kau lukis dalam pesona diri
Sisi batinku, sisi batinmu terpendam di alurnya
Tak ada tegur sapa antara kita
Media dunia membawa terbang tawa ceria
Teruraikan nada rasa
Terpendam dalam jiwa

Chorus:
Oooooh..., menarilah biar sejenak
Oooooh..., bernyanyilah bahagiakan hati
Bentangan jarak, meringkas khayal
Menggairahkan arti hidupkuWalau hatiku, hatimu takkan bertemu
Betapa mungkin dekat dirimu atau kukenali
Biarkan semua wajar adanya
Chorus
Ooh..., menarilah biar sejenak
Ooh..., warnailah duniakuOoh..., bernyanyilah bahagiakan hati
Betapa mungkin dekat dirimu atau kukenali
Biarkan semua wajar adanya

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.”
