Kalau dah Rock Kapak tu....

... rock kapak la jugak.

Yes, akak ngaku uols that I was and still am a certified rock kapak fan. So kapak that I own a cassette by a band whom hail from Terengganu by the name of Sejati. I'm sure tak ramai orang pernah dengar band ni... let alone know that their hit single is called 'Bila Bunga di Petik Orang'.

If aku ingat-ingat balik the cover of the cassette, sumpah mati hidup balik tak beli punyalah sekarang ni.

I was so kapak that I check the listing of Pilihan Bersama in Utusan and listen to the show at night. My 'pilihan' lagu pun pernah di keudarakan (ya tuhan, selamatkan lah hamba mu ini). But masa tu dah rock kapak yg standard sket la... so mintak main lagu Bon Jovi. Muahahahah.

I think I know most of the songs in the late 80s and 90s. If it is on air, I bet I can sing the first line of the song.. and know when and how the bridge would be. But my kind of rock kapak is not those of 'jerangkung tepi paya', 'pelesit naik beca', 'belacan keramat' kind of rubbish. maybe it's rock kapak jiwang karat tangkap leleh, if you will.

But that was till high school. Lepas tu macam dunia ni terbukak luas sikit. And I left rock kapak jiwang karat tangkap leleh. I think after 1995, there's no more decent melayu rock album that I like. Time and again, I keep on listening to the good ol' days song. Tak suka the new materials. Except maybe one or two.

And today, I proved that I'm still a rock kapak jiwang karat tangkap leleh fan.

Of all the CDs that I wanted to buy from Speedy, I bought the ' Search No 1'!

Dapat ke nak tengok concert Search in August nanti? I hope :)

And never the drive from Cyberjaya to KL at night be any less brilliant..jubilant, then singing and listening to this song over and over again on the cd player:

Gadis Misteri - Search

Lama aku menanti
Musim saling berganti
Mekar layu di pinggir waktu

Lama aku mencari
Dalam angan dan mimpi
Keujudan jadi misteri

Berbagai bentuk dan rupa
Bermain di ruang mata
Siapa gerangan agaknya

Bukakanlah jendela asmara
Moga terang kamar cintaku
Moga langit menyeri warna
Mewarnakan taman hatiku

Berilah daku sayap impian
Bawalah daku di awangan
Bukakan jendela asmara
Untuk ku kenal resah dan rindu

Bukakanlah jendela asmara
Moga terang kamar cintaku
Moga langit menyeri warna
Mewarnakan taman hatiku

Berilah daku sayap impian
Bawalah daku di awangan
Bukakan jendela asmara
Untuk ku kenal resah dan rindu
