JAKARTA - Reality Club's fourth album offers an interesting surprise with the song "Close to You/Jauh." Track number 8 on the album "Who Knows Where Life Will Take You?" marks a new milestone for them.
After nine years of musical careers, this album marks the first time they have written a song in Indonesian. The song has its own meaning, inspired by deep reflection.
Fathia Izzati, Reality Club's vocalist, spoke about the idea that sparked the creation of this work. In an Instagram post, she sang, taught the chords, and provided a brief explanation.
"Finally, after nine years in the band, Reality Club has an Indonesian song," the musician, known as Chia, revealed on September 23rd on her Instagram account @kittendust.
While playing the keyboard, she explained a little about the technicalities of creating "Jauh."
"This song comes from two simple chords. We tried to maintain a relaxed beat, but with a contemplative and questioning theme," she said.
That depth and spirituality inspired the song, but Fathia herself leaves it up to listeners to interpret it their own way.
"This song tells of a longing to draw closer to the Creator. But this person feels very far from Him. But you're free to interpret this song," she said.
One fan already suspected the song had religious overtones. "Oh, this is really religious 😭😭 so good 💗🫶🏻," the fan said.
"AAAAA THIS SONG SHOULD GO VIRAL! When else will RC make an Indonesian song with religious meaning, but also relatable to other situations like long-distance relationships!! So good, the song is calming 😭🤍🤍 (Maybe release a 'Close to You' version 🤭)," said another.
