Single Mengembara Jadi Kepingan Awal The Rain Dalam Mengamat Album Baru

The Rain (Doc. The Rain)

JAKARTA - The Rain released the latest single entitled Mengembara. This song is the first piece of the eighth album from this band from Yogyakarta, which is planned to be released in 2024.

The release of Mengambara also occurred in order to welcome the 22-year journey of The Rain, where the personnel have prepared several other materials that have been made in the last month.

This time I wrote a lot of songs on the way. Writing songs in different places and different atmospheres helps give a different perspective on a theme," said Indra Prasta (vocals, guitars) in his statement, Tuesday, October 3.

The beginning of the process of creating the song Mengembara is quite unique. At that time, Indra was playing guitar while playing at his house. The song without lyrics was recorded on his cellphone.

Until a few days later Indra and other personnel went out of town. There, Indra continued the initial material by adding melodies and lyrics to completion.

Not only is the process of creating songs carried out in several places, but the recording process is also carried out by The Rain outside the city.

The bass filling of the song Mengambara was done in a hotel room in Surabaya, when The Rain was performing in the city.

"Incidentally at that time we had to leave the day before because it was technical, so there was a low time," said Iwan Tanda (guitar, vocal) about the recording process.

"Instead of matching the time again after the tour, it's better to work on the road," said Ipul Bahri (bass, vocals).

Meanwhile, the song Mengambara tells the story of a life journey. This song has lyrics that are expected to strengthen, and invite listeners to reminisce about the bitter taste of a life.

"This song is about surrendering, but without losing the spirit to move," said Indra Prasta.
