Welcoming Christmas, D'Cinnamons Releases Single Silence Of Christmas

D’Cinnamons

JAKARTA - December is coming, it's time for Christmas to come. D'Cinnamons, an easy listening acoustic pop trio from Bandung, tried to convey a different message from this year's Christmas celebration. They released a single, Silence of Christmas.

Christmas is an overflow of happiness, joy, warmth as well as a moment of gathering for family and loved ones. But the vocalist/guitarist's personal experience, Diana 'Dodo' Widoera, who had lost someone and had to experience Christmas without her presence had led her to create a song. He poured his sadness there.

Together with two colleagues at D'Cinnamons, namely Bona Ventura (guitar) and Riana 'Nana' Mayasari (bass), Dodo also composed the song, and released it in a single format titled Silence of Christmas.

“This D'Cinnamons song is different from the majority of other Christmas songs, which are usually happy, fun, fun…,” said Bona about the content of the new single. In “Silence of Christmas”, D'Cinnamons puts more emphasis on its specialness, because it relates to the feeling of losing someone at Christmas," Diana Dodo said when contacted Thursday, December 2.

“The first time I imagined when Dodo told me about the loss of a friend, was Christmas with a different dinner. Usually, the nuance is cheerful with bright and warm lights. This one, everything is still there, but it feels colder, quieter, quieter," Nana added.

However, D'Cinnamons asserts, Silence of Christmas is not actually a song that invites you to lament and feel sorrow for a long time. Even though the theme is loss, this song is actually presented to strengthen those who have experienced the same thing. "When you lose someone you used to be close to, it's not easy, but we have to accept it," said Dodo reassuringly.

He himself felt, it helped strengthen the heart through the song. And Dodo hopes that the people who listen to him can feel the same way. At the end of the song, Dodo drops a line of lyrics that read: ''… to have you here, in my heart'. That's the point of the whole song.

"That sentence is really true in my opinion, how do we let someone go, whether it's a friend, whoever it is in our lives. In the end yes how we appreciate it, how we love it, by remembering it in our hearts. He really lives here (in his heart), he's not going anywhere," said Diana Dodo D'Cinnamons.
