Tradeto Discusses Repeated Routines In Single Steps

Tradeto for a new single titled 'Stepup' (Ist)

JAKARTA - Soloist from Jakarta, Tradeto again greeted the listeners with a new single titled 'Step'. This is the first song since the release of the album 'Walla Born' in March last year.

Through the 'Step', the singer with the birth name Dias Widjajanto wants to advise that it is not always lived with no purpose or future.

This song tells the story of people who have a recurrent daily life. Wake up early in the morning, go to work, have lunch and dinner, go home from work and repeat the next day," Tradeto said in his statement, Tuesday, September 10.

The lyrics themselves tell about the thoughts that arise in daily life, whether what is being done is not what they want, maybe just work without a definite purpose, or so far what has been going on may not have come to the desired point.

But whatever it is, oata Tradeto, we will definitely finish what we started. So after all, we will continue to live in this daily life.

A little contradictory to the gentle strain of the music, some of the lyrics written actually give an impression of excessive thoughts about a life journey.

I want to give my mood, even if I'm confused and overthinking about what we're going through right now, just enjoy the process. This has also happened to me until now, because I'm also like everyone in general," said Tradeto.

Through the latest single, Tradeto, who rarely writes acoustic, positive or happy songs, tried to write with various explorations, so this song sounds brighter with some things that have never been tried in previous releases.

Eksplorasi yang berbeda dari rilisan sebelumnya mungkin lebih ke eksplorasi penulisan lagu sih sih. Ini sangat acoustic based sekali lagu, karena aku datang ke studio hanya dengan kepala kosong dan sebuah gitar acous. Itu yang pernah saya lakukan sebelumnya. Kalau rilisan sebelumnya saya selalu menulis segalnya di laptop, jadi sangat digital, katanya.

"For those who are tired of the trip, hopefully this song can always accompany you and make you aware that sometimes life is not just for survival, but there are still goals and futures that you can achieve in the future. What has been lived to date, just live it first, finish what has started. And the most important thing is to have the thought that you guys have arrived here, not 'just got here'," he said.
