Embracing my inner Rock Kapak

Today I turned on the radio and there's a segment where by they were playing old school songs.It was called Otai someting. As soon as the song starts, I totally recogized the song.

OMG! Here comes the Rock Kapak flashback:

Mithali Cintaku - U-Topia

Ingin ku mencari bayangan dikau
Namun tiada bersua yang tersembunyi
Di dalam diri rasa cintamu yang abadi

Setiap detik dan tiap ketika
Tuhan mengerti yang kita mencuba
Mengapa kau masih tak peduli
Pengemis cintamu yang asing ini

Mithali...
Pengganti nama cintamu yang suci
Mithali...
Sang puteri yang membuat kuresah
Mithali...
Tiap suatu pastikan berubah
Mithali...
Mungkin kita kan bertemu semula

Bila kubaca pintu hatimu
kesetiaan cinta terkunci padu
Seakan kau turut berbicara
Agar kebahagiaan sama dirasa

Kiranya benar oh kekasihku
Betapa lama masa berlalu
Kiranya benar suatu siksaan
Mengapa tiada penderitaan

Mithali...
Pengganti nama cintamu yang suci
Mithali...
Sang puteri yang membuat kuresah
Mithali...
Tiap suatu pastikan berubah
Mithali...
Mungkin kita kan bertemu semula


To begin with the name of the band is U-Topia. Do you know what you get when you google U-Topia? Some sources for gay and lesbians. Apakah? There's not much reference of this group. I have no idea when they was popular. Thinking back of my rock kapak phase, it must be somewhere in the mid 90s where rock songs still rule in Juara Lagu. Aparently they have a few more hit songs called Maya Percintaan and Pasti Di Sini. I'm sure I loved it all back then, but after listening to them, errkkk... what was I thinking.

I remembered that the singer sounded edgier back then. Now I thought he sounded like me at karaoke. And ya rabbi, what's up with the lyrics? The first verse and the chorus sort of saying this girl macam jual mahal. But then when you read " Bila kubaca pintu hatimu, kesetiaan cinta terkunci padu". Aik.. macam minah ni dah game on dengan ini mamat. My favorite part of all, "Kiranya benar suatu siksaan, Mengapa tiada penderitaan?" I thought the whole song was about him in some sort of pain. Ohhh.. one more thing. Is Mithali someone's name? Hmmmmm....there's a lady cricket player goes by that name...

Who cares. I lobes meaningless rock kapak lyrics!

I looked up youtube and found this. Though the video is not that good, but I think that is the original band. Dulu takde internet, aku tak tau pun mana rupanya semua orang ni :P

Hidup Rock Kapak!
