This week I chose the song Suci Dalam Debu, because I was interested in the rock music the region had to offer. I found this song while searching for Malaysian rock music. When listening to this song I immediately noticed it sounded very western. I was also drawn to the vocals and production of the video. It reminds me a lot of the music I listen to and I will likely be adding this song to a playlist. The video resembles many indie music videos I’ve seen in the past, and it makes me really happy to see the concept in a different way like this.

The song roughly translates too, Pure in Dust.

Translation

You are like clear water in a dusty container

Eventually that dirt will be visible. Despite, the purity is protected. 

Love is not just in the eyes. Love is present in the soul.

Let go the mistake in their eyes, let go. The visible distance between us.

I hope you will accept despite you will be contempted

Provide that we feel the truth of our love

Someday, certainly it will radiate. The door will open and we will stride together.

There we see the truth shines

Dust becomes diamond, and humiliation becomes glory

This isn’t illusion that I give, but a real belief

Although our love is on fire ocean

Certainly I will swim in it nevertheless
