Football: King of Penalty Area
Ch. 67 - Break (2)

Second song subtitle “This is Me!” which is actually similar to the song “Who said?” but it's different too. If song “Who Says?” trying to convince that all women are beauty in itself, then the song “This is Me!” stressing girls to be more courageous to appear as they are and not shy about their flaws. The song does not have a clear chorus but the lyrics tell the meaning of the song clearly.

~I'm no stranger to darkness~

~Hide, they say~

~Because we don't want your broken parts~

~I have learned not to be ashamed of all my scars~

~Run, they said~

~No one will love you as you are~

~But I won't let them crush me into dust~

~I know there's a place for us~

~Because we are Mulia~

\~\~\~

~I dare, I bruise~

~I am who I should be, here I am~

~I line up to the rhythm I play~

~I'm not afraid to look~

~I'm not apologizing, it's me~

The third song, titled “Pendikian” is a different song to the previous two. Because this song does not discuss anything about the physical or the confidence of the body. However, this again raises the theme of a person's struggle to achieve their dreams and the effort and hard work they need.

After reading the third song, Anna gives Raynaldi new advice. “Ray, what if this “Pendikian” song is sung by you two? I think it would be better if this song was made with a duet between you and Leona.”

“How will we share it?” Ask Leona.

“You can sing Verse 1 to Chorus 1, which is this part..” Anna showed me Leona's part.

~I can almost see it~

~That dream I was dreaming~

~But, there was a voice inside my head that said~

~You will never reach it~

~Every step I take~

~Every movement I do feels~

~Lost without direction~

~My faith wavers~

~But I, I have to keep trying~

~Must keep my head high~

~There will always be another mountain~

~I always want to make it move~

~Will always be an uphill battle~

~Sometimes I have to lose~

~Not about how fast I got there~

~Not about what's waiting on the other side~

~This is the climb~

“Then, Ray can sing Verse 2 to Chorus 2 parts, that is this part..” Continue Anna.

~The struggle I faced~

~Outdoors that I took~

~Sometimes may drop me, but~

~No, I did not violate~

~I may not know it~

~I'll remember best, ya~

~Only must continue to walk~

~And I, I must strong~

~Keep pushing, because~

~There will always be another mountain~

~I always want to make it move~

~Will always be an uphill battle~

~Sometimes I have to lose~

~Not about how fast I got there~

~Not about what's waiting on the other side~

~This is the climb~

“Last, Chorus 3 and Coda sections on this song you can sing together..” Anna showed me the last part of the song.

~There will always be another mountain~

~I always want to make it move~

~Will always be an uphill battle~

~Sometimes you have to lose~

~Not about how fast I got there~

~Not about what's waiting on the other side~

~This is the climb~

\~\~\~

~Continue moving, keep climbing~

~Features of faith, dear~

~It's all about, it's all about climbing~

~Dragon your faith, keep your faith~

“What do you two think? If there is something you want to add, you can tell me.” Anna closed her explanation while looking at Raynaldi and Leona's expressions.

“Yes, I have no problem with this setting.” Leona agreed with Anna's suggestion.

“If Leona's sister doesn't matter, I also agree with the arrangement Anna.” made Upon seeing Leona not minding, Raynaldi also immediately nodded in agreement.

“OK, this way these three songs are done. But Ray, are you sure you're gonna sing this song? According to my song “Counting stars” is not suitable for children your age.” Anna who read the whole song “Counting stars” can see that this song is more suitable for men who have gone through a lot of problems.

Raynaldi who is 17 years old should not have a lot of problems, right? So if this kind of song is sung by a teenager will cause a picture that is less suitable according to Anna.

“What are you worried about Anna? Even though I was a kid, I met my mom's clients often. So sometimes indirectly I also know many problems in social life including money.” Raynaldi said casually.

“Oh, I forgot your mother is a well-known psychologist in Indonesia.” Anna recalled that Leona once said that Raynaldi's mother was a psychologist who often received consultation requests from various companies in Indonesia when they interviewed for new employees or increased positions in their agencies.

“My mother often gives mental and psychological consultations about various problems, some patients will come to the house to consult her. So I also heard about some things, but the problem I hear most often is about economy and money.” Obviously Raynaldi with a flat voice.

“Yesterday when Leona asked me to make a song, I decided to make a song related to motivation and psychology that I had often heard from my mother. So when I think of a song for me to play, I choose to make this song, “Counting Bintang” to remind them that life is not about how much money we get, he said, but about how we enjoy it.” Raynaldi closed his explanation.

Anna who listened to Raynaldi's explanation could only nod in agreement. However, as a lecturer at a renowned University, he also knows that sometimes a person's growth is greatly affected by the surrounding environment. So sometimes there are also people like Raynaldi with a mentality that grows up faster than their peers.

“Well, I won't ask any further... Now we can start recording these four songs, according to the previous settings.” Anna directly shifted the topic to the first place.

“By the way who will play the music accompaniment?” When Anna said she started recording, she recalled that yesterday Leona said nothing about today's musical accompanist.

As Anna and Leona listened to Raynladi's question, their faces twitched slightly unnaturally. Meanwhile, Leona immediately turned her face which made Raynaldi start guessing a few things.

“Don't tell me you're gonna ask me to play guitar and bass again? You guys really intend to make me work to death.” Initially Raynaldi thought that recording songs today would run more easily and quickly.

But it would be a different thing if Raynaldi also needed to record accompaniment music. It's only fitting that Leona did not discuss the issue of accompaniment music while talking to him yesterday, she was already intending to make him record accompaniment music as well today.

Raynaldi intended to reject their unreasonable request, but considering he had already promised to record the song as well. Raynaldi could not break his promise because it violated his life principles, so in the end he could only agree with a heavy heart.

With the arrangement of Anna in the end Raynaldi and Leona finished recording their music after more than 12 hours in the recording studio.
