Loloq aka Rosli Khamis

Mostly people listen to songs because of it's catchy tune, out of the box music video or great lyrics. Well, at least I do. Especially great lyrics. Malaysia lost one of our best lyricist when Loloq passed away on Wednesday 30th Jan 2008.

He wrote thousands of great lyrics to Malay songs that we came to know and love.

Here's to mention a few:

"Kerana Cinta
Aku kembara
Bagai camar
Melintas laut
Mencari pohon
Untuk berteduh" - Awan Terpilu sang by Ning Baizura

"Jika mimpi
Zaman silam
Bisa kusimpan dalam kaca jadi perhiasan
Pasti aku abadikan zaman riang kanak2" - Layar Impian sang by Ella

"Bonda
Akhirnya terbongkar jua rahsia
Tangisan dan gurindam
Keramat kasih sayangmu" - Bonda sang by M Nasir

I love his line from Zombi Kampung Pisang " Till when-when pun..." (sampai bila-bila). Loloq, till when-when pun we will remember you.

Semoga Allah sentiasa mencucuri rahmat ke atasnya. Al-fatihah.
