La La La [like i care] - Continuation of a journey
Saturday, 27 December 2008


La La La [like i care] was our fourth single to be released on air. I cant quite remember the things that happened during the course of this single..but for fact, it's somewhat the most recognisable piece of work that De Epitome have done. I dont know why or how but people seem to like this song. As i had said from my earlier post..when we decided to record songs for on air releases we promised ourselves that we will, we shall, we MUST do different styles with each of the singles. Like I Care was the epitome of that..coincidentally though..this is the second time that our song starts with the word "once upon a time"..hahah :) (the first one being 'Conversation').


From what i can remember, we were trying to fix Conversation. We needed a more fast paced rythm to go along with the song. But instead of renewing and improving the song we made a whole new song. Based on the rythms and chords of Conversation, we tried to improvise a different tone for this new song. Luffy asked if i could write the lyrics..i asked what do you want for the theme? and he said.."apa pikiran mu jon?"..hahaha :P when someone ask for my personal opinion, my usual answer would be that of my personal experience. And from my personal experience, all my life i've gone thru many..many..many sh*tty experience. The heartbreaks, the lies, the backstabbing, the outcast..its all a long journey for me. So, back on the topic of making the lyrics. As usual as to all the songs i have written, its a personal statement to what i have been thru. So i went ahead and wrote it while the others tried to refine the song.


I cant remember how long it took us to finish the song (i guess around two weeks). But when it was done it was magnificent. This song also marks the first time that i would sing together with Khai. We practised the song a lot of times to hear if there's something missing. Then luffy thought that it would be fun if we could at some vocals at the beginning. And he proposed that we do something different, something that no one can thought of. So we came up with the 'lalala' part. we loved it so much that we decided to put it in different segments of the songs with Khai and me doing different tones of it.


The main theme about this song is really about self respect and believing in yourself. Only by doing this first can other people learn to respect and believe in you. The other theme for this song is about a guy that falls for somewhat the more popular type than he is. Seeing that this is happening, the people around them starts to talk about how bad the dude looks with this awesome girl, some just couldnt believe, some just couldnt stand it..all in all a usual scene in Brunei. I guess that is all that i can write for La La La Like i Care. I know by fact that this song have a lot of fan, so to all the fans i would like to say thank you for supporting us and your support is very very very very very very (to infinity and beyooooonnnnnnnddddd!!!!!!!) valuable to us personally.

Signing out for De Epitome,
