Riuh kotaku tak pernah mati
Pencakar langit menjulang tinggi
Semangat warganya selalu membara
Tak ada ruang yang sepi
Beratnya beban tidak dirasa
Setiap saat riuh bekerja
Terus berputar bagaikan roda
Jeda tersimpan tuk sementara
Beratnya beban tidak dirasa
Setiap saat fajar menyala
Terus berputar bagaikan roda
Jeda tersimpan di dalam dada
Tempo dan mas selalu rapat
Beradu detik di jalur padat
Berbagai jalur untuk melesat
Satu tujuan ke pusat
Berpendar indahnya sinar
Laksana laut permata
Gemerlap menyihir sukma
Menjerat setiap mata, yang berharap
Kan berbinar tak pernah memudar

White Shoes & The Couples Company
The album "2020" was created since 2017. We have completed the material in recording sessions from 2019 to September 2020. While working on this album, we imagined ourselves as a film crew, not producing moving images, but a small unit that composed movie soundtracks.
All the songs on this album were written as background music for movie scenes that have never been made. They are the soundtracks of films about the conflicts in life, about the sudden downfall of a happy family, about the other side of the glittering metropolis, the twists and turns in making it in the big city, a passionate triangular love affair that ends tragically, an odd camaraderie, a murder mystery in a hotel room, a remorseful scoundrel, an adventure in finding one's selfhood, the lonely life of being left by a lover, the romanticized story of a writer who is always out of time, and about a woman who tries to escape her past. All of these stories are somehow connected to the glimpse of images from scenes that are still deeply embedded in the feelings and memories of Indonesian films from the past that have inspired us.
This "2020" album continues our exploration in creating cinematic pop music combined with stories of urban life today. We present it to be the soundtrack of your life today, and may it become an inspiration in the future.
Artist Profile
White Shoes & The Couples Company
White Shoes & The Couples Company (WSATCC) is an Indonesian Pop Sextet from Jakarta who perform Indonesiana (Indonesian Pop music). The band was formed in 2002 during their college years at the campus of the Jakarta Arts Institute. Their music is greatly inspired by old Indonesia films soundtracks from the 70s and the acoustic spirit of Jazz musicians from the 30s along with absorbing the rhythmical influence of retro disco as well as classical music arrangements, paying homage to the golden age of Indonesian Pop music during the 50s and the 70s, and particularly deriving inspiration from works by notable names in the history of Indonesian music, such as: Ismail Marzuki, Guruh Sukarno Putra, Fariz RM, and Jack Lesmana. The band incorporates elements of these influences and their knowledge of Indonesian Pop music as well as films from the past, together with their own life experiences of living in the city of Jakarta today - to create their unique, sophisticated, and charming music character. All of this have given the music of WSATCC a strong local identity, relevancy, and made them stand out in the midst of the global music scene.
