She Is Gone

You can shed tears that she is gone

Or you can smile because she has lived

You can close your eyes and pray that she will come back

Or you can open your eyes and see all that she has left

Your heart can be empty because you can't see her

Or you can be full of the love that you shared

You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday

Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday

You can remember her and only that she is gone

Or you can cherish her memory and let it live on

You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back

Or you can do what she would want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on.

replace the "she" with "he" and "her" with "him" and "his" then this poem would totally relate to me.

DEPAPEPE.

Consider this as an appreciation post to the super-talented duo that have caught my attention related to instrumental music for a couple of years now.

yep, they're DEPAPEPE.

obviously they're older now compared to the picture. tapi skill nggitar mereka haven't decreased at all. they never fail to amaze me with the rhythm they produce with guitar strings, and what I love the most about them is their faces everytime they start playing the six-stringed instrument. wajah mereka menunjukkan kalau mereka benar-benar mencintai apa yang mereka lakukan, and it inspired me.

Depa (kiri) a.k.a Miura Takuya dan Pepe (kanan) a.k.a Tokuoka Yoshinari memulai karier sejak 2002, I think. (at least that's what I got from Wikipedia..) bayangin! mereka udah mulai berkarya sejak sebelum aku masuk SD dan aku baru tau soal mereka tahun 2010-2011 ini. God bless the internet.. and they've made, like, bazillion songs. ok that was hyperbolic. tapi sumpah, lagu mereka udah banyak banget, bisa dilihat disini. mau cari lagu yang energetic? ada. yang blues? ada. they can do wonders and I believe they're the real definition of "prodigy". all I can say is.. they deserve to be discovered by world wide. they deserve an enormous fame with that kind of talent, really.

well enough compliments, praises and kudos to those two. needless to say that I'm definitely a fan of them though not an obsessed one, but still they're ah-ma-zing. (surprise! another compliment. I just had to.)
