No video project. No YouTube artist/video review. Nothing's special.
I just simply want to share what I've been feeling this whole day.
This is February, the sweet romantic month. Today is just less than a week apart from Valentine's Day where loves mostly spread everywhere around the world amongst any generations. Valentine's Day has been a stereotype of the day when the man buying something special (in Family Feud, chocolate / flowers stands #1 or #2 :) and then give surprise to his girlfriend / wife. Some others also associated this day with the love not only between lovers but also with families, parents & siblings.
As a YouTube artist wannabe, there was a big desire to make a funny sweet romantic video project to commemorate this Valentine's Day. I sent an invitation, yet it seemed like not many of them were interested to join *headdown* :))).
However, I am now feeling really thankful for it. Today I got couple knocks pondering my mind about the other side of Valentine's Day. This inspiration was gathered through uneasy experience and lots of emotion took part in it. 2 Videos and 1 news were the inspirations.
- 1st inspiration: "2AM - You Wouldn't Answer My Call" Music Video [Tuesday Morning]
You might wonder what the..... that I heard this song and watched this movie. I knew this song from its cover sung by Indonesia YouTube Artists (check the link: here). Curiosity then just came into my mind to check what the lyrics said about cos it's heard very sad. Watching its music video, then I felt touched (with the video & lyrics, not the band). Luckily, I found someone's comment about the explanation of the story behind the video.
In brief, it's about a man mourning for his girlfriend's death. However, suddenly he got call from her, asking why he wasn't in her apartment yet. So, he ran out to her apartment, yet he's trapped in the present time when she's already dead. After getting calmed by the Police, he tried to call her again and telling her not to open the door. At the same time, someone knocked the door and the woman thought that he's just joking around & willing to give her a surprise. She immediately hanged up the phone, opened the door, then she got killed. The conclusion might be about a man who can't stop blaming himself for the lost of someone he loves at most.
- 2nd inspiration: news of ITB student lost for 2 days already [Tuesday evening]
It is always hard to know this kind of news. Imagining and positioning myself as one of her family members (moreover, parents) or friends, I don't know how depressing I might feel. Flashback suddenly brought the scenes of hearing that information at the beginning, getting panic to go to location ASAP, and desperately trying to find her soon. It is miserable. We can only now pray for God's miracle that rescue team or anyone could find her body soon. Amen.
And, this situation suddenly reminded me of my friend who died 100 days ago, Dipo. No one ever predict that he'd die thru car accident in that such young age. Not easy to let him go forever, even up until now. I just opened his FB page and ... many people miss him indeed.
- 3rd inspiration: "I'll Be Missing You" by Vocal Point Sing-Off [Tuesday night]
Along my way on motorcycle to the gym, my random playlist selected this song. Hearing this song after those two inspirations above, I was directly unable to hold my emotion. I played this song over and over and over. FYI, this song was brought by The Sing-Off (acapella competition) Season 03 contestant, "Vocal Point". The Lead vocal for this song is Ben, a guy who's just lost his Dad at the early of competition. He was absent for several early episodes, then came back in the middle of competition after the lost. And, they all agreed to sing this song dedicated to Ben & his family.
If you pay attention to their emotional performance and try to feel the lyrics, we'll understand (a bit) the feeling of losing forever someone we care & love. We'll be missing Dipo.
I'm sure now you all can connect the dots of those 3 inspirations about what other side of Valentine's Day that I meant :)
I'm working now on the script of this new video project. It might be the combination of Valentine's Day and Tribute to Dipo, as I promised in my earlier post. Let me know if you wanna join. Thank you for reading. GBU all :)
