parents all making songs as something that can make their lives more colorful.
Songs can also be very effective media to help learning patterns, overcome
boredom, and can also function as a media to voice aspirations, spills of feelings
and opinions, and moral messages. The rapid development of the music industry

music artists to compete to create works of art that can be accepted by many
people in pursuit of profit or just looking for mere sensations without regard to
the norms contained in homemade song

DISCUSSION
 The Lyric
Memories
"Kenangan"

• All I need to know is

When I wake up to your footsteps
Ketika aku bangun karena langkah kakimu Semua yang perlu kuketahui adalah
As you get up out of bed
Saat kau bangun dari tempat tidur Where to stop
They make a song that sounds so simple Di mana aku harus berhenti
Mereka membuat sebuah lagu yang terdengar sangat
sederhana Take my hand and show me forever
But it dances in my head
Tapi itu menari-nari di kepalaku Pegang tanganku dan tunjukkan aku keabadian
A melody so perfect So never will I ever let you go
Sebuah melodi yang begitu sempurna
That it gets me through the day Jadi tak akan kubiarkan kau pergi
Bahwa itu membuatku melewati hari
And the thought of us forever
Dan pikiran tentang kita selamanya
Is one that won't ever go away
Salah satunya yang tidak akan pernah hilang

So let's hold on together
Jadi mari kita tunggu bersama
To this paper and this pen
Untuk kertas dan pena ini
And write down every letter
Mari kita gantung foto-foto kita di dinding
Dan menulis semua huruf
To every word we've ever said
Untuk semua kata yang sudah kita ucapkan
All I need to know is
Semua yang perlu ketahui adalah
Where to stop
Dimana harus berhenti
Take my hand and show me forever
Pegang tanganku dan tunjukkan aku keabadian
So never will I ever let you go
Jadi tak akan kubiarkan kau pergi
Let's write our story
Mari tulis cerita kita
And let's sing a song
Dan mari nyanyikan sebuah lagu
Let's hang our pictures on the wall
All these precious moments
Semua momen berharga
That we carved in stone
Yang kita ukir di batu
Are only memories after all
Hanya kenangan setelah segalanya
Memories after all
Kenangan setelah segalanya
Memories after all
Kenangan setelah segalanya

You know, you gave me hope
Kau tahu, kau beri aku harapan
But I've got to let go
Tapi harus kulepaskan
I've got to let go
Harus kulepaskan
We wrote our story
Kita tulis cerita kita
And we sang our songs
Dan kita nyanyikan lagu-lagu kita
We hung our pictures on the wall
Kita gantung foto-foto kita di dinding

It's taking it's toll Now those precious moments

Itu membawa kepedihan Sekarang momen-momen berharga itu
Deep in my soul
That we carved in stone
Jauh di dalam jiwaku
Yang kita ukir di batu
Now I've got to let go
Sekarang harus kulepaskan Are only memories after all
Hanya kenangan setelah segalanya
