From youtube shorts I saw this live concert in London of this song called The Box. It was amazing. It was inviting, at least for me. The amazing thing was the crowd. They sang the song so passionately. The lyric was perfect too. At first, the singer said, Sing this Shit, then the crowd go crazy started sing the song. I dont know what the song was. I looked for it, the official music video and the original clip of the youtube shorts. Apparently it was a song from 5 years ago. I wonder why I never heard of it before. 5 years ago man. I was late haha. Comparing the official music video and the live concert video, seems like the original music not that amazing (obviously studio records). The live concert was energetic.
In the shorts I read the comments. Some said good things. Some mentioned, if the crowd sing your song like that, it means you've made it. How amazing is that. Make me thinking what do the singer think during that time. What did he feels. Did he feel that he made it? If I'm the singer, my answer will be yes. Definitely. Since that day, I always play that song. Repeat and repeat. When I'm working, when I'm driving. I cannot stop. Maybe I will stop after I finished write this, since I already let it go.
The thing is, it make me want to cry.
The music. The live concert one. I'm not sure because I'm sad. Probably because I feel achieved. That comment, the crowd warms, people shouting your works. I dont know, it feel different. Even though it was not me, but the energy (the vibe?) transported to me, and it makes me feel to cry. That also maybe the reason I keep on repeat the video clip. Playing the official music video didnt give any feeling though. I tried to remember the lyrics and sing the song. I cannot make it. Make me thinking how amazing the crowd can remember the lyrics and sing the song perfectly. Normally here, in other occasions, I will wonder, why they waste their time and energy to remember this kind of things and all that. But this time I passed that.
It was always like that. I always discovered something amazing like that so late. This one 5 years later. Before this I learned about the Mars Volta also late. There's some movies also. Which sometimes, it makes me to asked people how they discover amazing things. It became habit in conversation. People might got annoyed actually. Because those kinds of information never same crossed to me. Either via email, online ads, social media timeline or from chat app. Hey how do you know about they started selling ticket for that concert? Hey how do you know about that viral restaurant? Hey how do you know all this things?
Well, the part that he said Sing this Shit really rent free in my head. Never heard anybody said that before. Normally they will say, Make Some Noise. Make Some Noise. Make Some Noise. Like nothing else they can say. In fact, I personally feel when they say like that it just kinda show they are not good enough. I think. Otherwise people will just make noise without being asked. Or maybe the time not quite right. Actually I also started say the same Sing this Shit sometimes. Say that shit again. Sing this shit.
I wonder when I will become that great. People shout my work. I had one before. I made this documentation about DR work and it was years back. It was like almost 10 years ago. I was in different department. My name was there as the author, reviewer and all over in that documentation (SoP). We already outsourced that work but they still continue what we were doing based on that documentation. I now in different department. More in process and governance now. Recently when they want to do DR, the governance team gathered all documentations that related to DR and found the one that I mentioned earlier. They asked the team, why they mistakenly put my name in their doc. They told me about that too and asked me whether that was really my name there or it was different person. I told them, yes, it was me. I'm the original author. I wrote them. To my surprise nothing much change. In fact I believe still 97% original. Even though its already 10 years and people still using my work. That's the same feeling I had. That time it did make me want to cry.
