Hive Open Mic Week 130 - Zona Nyaman (Cover) by Teofilus

Hi all my friends, my name is Teofilus Sinaga. I come from Indonesia, precisely in the city of Medan. I'm back to entertain you again on the weekly Hive #openmic event which has entered its 130th week with the theme "Creativity & Freestyle". This theme was chosen by a talented recorder and trumpeter at Hive, namely @onos-f. This community is very interesting for me because it provides challenges every week with interesting themes. I have to find a song with the right theme. This challenge is what got me interested in this Hive Open Mic.

God gave human reason so that we think creatively for our progress and freedom. Without creative thinking, scientists can't create the tools we use every day. Even Hive wouldn't exist if its creators didn't think creatively. creativity is so important and we should be able to practice it. While we are young, we are led to continue to act and think creatively. New ideas are needed from young people and a new generation to create a better world. If people always act creatively, then the world will be more colorful. let's together create works that are useful for many people.

From this theme, I performed a cover song entitled “Zona Nyaman” which means Comfort zone. This song was sung and popularized by Fourtwnty, a music group from Indonesia.

Indonesian Lyric

“Pagi ke pagi ku terjebak di dalam ambisi
Seperti orang-orang berdasi yang gila materi
Rasa bosan membukakan jalan mencari peran
Keluarlah dari zona nyaman

Sembilu yang dulu
Biarlah berlalu
Bekerja bersama hati
Kita ini insan bukan seekor sapi

Sembilu yang dulu
Biarlah membiru
Berkarya bersama hati

Waktu ke waktu perlahan kurakit egoku
Merangkul orang-orang yang mulai sejiwa denganku
Ke-BM-an membukakan jalan mencari teman
Bergeraklah dari zona nyaman

Diam dan mati
Milik dia yang tak bisa berdiri, berdiri
Diam dan mati
Milik dia yang tak bisa berdiri
Berdiri di kakinya sendiri

Tanamkan pesanku
Agar tak keliru
Bekerja bersama hati”

English Lyric

“Morning to morning I'm trapped in ambition
Like material crazy tie people
Boredom opens the way to find a role
Get out of your comfort zone

The first lashing
Let bygones be bygones
Working with heart
We are human not a cow

The first lashing
Let it turn blue
Work with heart

Time to time slowly I build my ego
Embracing people who are starting to be of the same soul with me
BM's open the way to find friends
Move out of your comfort zone

Shut up and die
Belongs to him who can't stand, stand up
Shut up and die
Belongs to him who can't stand
Standing on his own feet

Embed my message
So as not to be mistaken
Working with heart”

This song was released in 2018 on the album Ego & Brain Function. This song also became the soundtrack for the film Filosofi Kopi 2 and catapulted Fourtwnty's name in the music world. The meaning of this song is a message that invites listeners to try to pursue their passion and get out of their comfort zone. Work that is not done with the heart will have an impact on the results that are not optimal. The lyric "we are humans, not cows" implies this. As a person with a heart, pouring it into work in the form of passion is something Fourtwnty wants to convey.

Thank you for listening to the songs I play, I hope you all enjoy the voice I sing. Greetings all. May we all be able to give love to all beings in the universe. Stay healthy, keep your spirit, and greetings from me.
