Zee Avi - artis You Tube lagi .. top!
(Info source from Wiki, .. Wiki, often be my 1st choice of info searching & sharing).
Zee Avi, known as Kokokaina at YouTube. She was born in Miri, Sarawak, East Malaysia. Born on 1986, real name, Izyan Alirahman. She is a Malaysian singer-songwriter, guitarist, and ukulele player. She moved to Kuala Lumpur when she was 12. She studied fashion design at American InterContinental University in London.
Avi originally posted a video of her first song on YouTube because one of her friends had missed her first performance in Kuala Lumpur, so she created a video on YouTube for him to watch. He convinced Avi to leave the video up, and soon she received positive feedback, which inspired her to put more videos on YouTube. After she was featured YouTube, she attracted the attention of Brushfire Records, with which she would join. Her song "No Christmas For Me" is featured on Brushfire Records's 2008 Christmas album This Warm December: A Brushfire Holiday. Her single "Bitter Heart" was first to become available on the US iTunes store, and her full self-titled debut album was released on May 19, 2009. On the day of her album's release, YouTube featured her on the front page in Spotlight: Music Tuesday. She is currently touring the United States.
My personal comment:
She is talented. I wonder why our local producers didn't grab her first. People like Zee is a great asset of our local music industry. (Takdelah asik kena kutuk je dgn org Indo..hehe..*peace*) Maybe, producers should start doing different method of looking for new talents, rather than having the same normal conventional ones. e.g. u know lah..
Intip-intip lah sikit internet nih.. kan dah kena kebas orang US dulu. Hehe.. But, like Yuna, young artists are now very independent. They do everything themselves and that's a sign of a good change. Not perfect, but slowly, they will learn by time.
'Kantoi' is a song by Zee Avi that blend lyrics from Bahasa Malaysia and English. I'm very sure this will create (if not already have) new phenomena and will attract so many critics from various language experts. As for me, what important is the balance. When the music catches the right tune, blending the sound super-well enough for most of our ears to appreciate it, then, the wording sometimes will be less important. It's just like listening to a song with amazing sounds and rhythm that really catches your attention, but in a different language you not even knew one single meaning of it. But, to have a song that could let us inspired from both rhythms and words, that is a bonus that could stick the melody longer in our sweet memories.
So, Zee, keep up the good work, and work harder to improvise your quality along with time, it's just obeying another normal nature rules like what others did (^_*)

Hentikan sebentar rajukmu, Ibu
Yang marah-marah, tapi sayang,
Yang bising-bising, tapi caring,
Hentikan lah sebentar rajukmu, ibu,
Dengarkan lagu ini yang anak-anak bandelmu,
khususkan buatmu...
(font sengaja dibesarkan dari biasa, biar ibu bisa baca..)

Letih terlihat diwajah yang tua itu
Tertidur pulas dalam alunan gelap malam
Dibalik senyummu teduhkanku
Terbayang potret kala engkau masih muda
Ajarkan sebuah kata cinta dalam hidup
Kekuatan kasihmu nyata pulihkan jiwaku yang kadang goyah
Reff :
Pesonamu masih jelas kurasa hingga kini
Menemani hingga ku dewasa
Derai airmata dan pengorbananmu takkan tergantikan
Trima kasih ibu..
Waktu cepat bergulir
Sisakan banyak kisah
Dia yang kau cintai tlah lama meninggalkan dirimu sendiri
Namun tetap kau berdiri tegar pada dunia
Pesonamu masih jelas kurasa hingga kini
Menemani hingga ku dewasa
Derai airmata dan pengorbananmu takkan tergantikan
Trima kasih ibu..

Kado dari Kakak
Desir pasir di padang tandus
Segersang pemikiran hati
Terkisah ku di antara cinta yang rumit
Bila keyakinanku datang
Kasih bukan sekadar cinta
Pengorbanan cinta yang agung
Ku pertaruhkan
Maafkan bila ku tak sempurna
Cinta ini tak mungkin ku cegah
Ayat-ayat cinta bercerita
Cintaku padamu
Bila bahagia mulai menyentuh
Seakan ku bisa hidup lebih lama
Namun harus ku tinggalkan cinta
Ketika ku bersujud
Bila keyakinanku datang
Kasih bukan sekedar cinta
Pengorbanan cinta yang agung
Ku pertaruhkan

Stairway To Heaven
There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven
And when she gets there she knows if the stores all are closed
With a word she can get what she came for
Woe oh oh oh oh oh
And she's buying a stairway to heaven
There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure
And you know sometimes words have two meanings
In the tree by the brook there's a songbird who sings
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven
uuuh..it makes me wonder
uuuh..it makes me wonder
There's a feeling I get when I look to the west
And my spirit is crying for leaving
In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees
And the voices of those who stand looking
uuuh..it makes me wonder
uuuh..it really makes me wonder
And it's whisper that soon, if we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason
And the new day will dawn for those who stand long
And the forest will echo with laughter
ow woe oo ooo
If there's a bustle in your hedgerow
Don't be alarmed now
It's just a spring clean for the May Queen
Yes there are two paths you can go by
but in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on
and it makes me wonder...
ooooooo..ho hoo..
Your head is humming and it won't go because you don't know
The piper's calling you to join him
Dear lady can't you hear the wind blow and did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind
And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our souls
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll
Woe oh oh oh oh oh
And she's buying a stairway to heaven
--> Led Zeppelin
Berita Kepada Kawan
Perjalanan ini terasa sangat menyedihkan
Sayang engkau tak duduk di sampingku kawan
Banyak cerita yang mestinya kau saksikan
Di tanah kering bebatuan
Tubuhku terguncang dihempas batu jalanan
Hati tergetar menampak kering rerumputan
Perjalanan ini pun seperti jadi saksi
Gembala kecil menangis sedih
Kawan coba dengar apa jawabnya
Ketika ia kutanya mengapa
Bapak ibunya telah lama mati
Ditelan bencana tanah ini
Sesampainya di laut
Kukabarkan semuanya
Kepada karang
Kepada ombak
Kepada matahari
Tetapi semua diam
Tetapi semua bisu
Tinggal aku sendiri
Terpaku menatap langit
Barangkali di sana ada jawabnya
Mengapa di tanahku terjadi bencana
Mungkin Tuhan mulai bosan
Melihat tingkah kita
Yang selalu salah dan bangga
Dengan dosa-dosa
Atau alam mulai enggan
Bersahabat dengan kita
coba kita bertanya pada
Rumput yang bergoyang...
