the title of this posting. the rain that pours during the day and night. the mood. its complete. a break of a band. well, many bands, even famous bands disbanded in the end.well, some are lousy bands, one hit wonder, who can only provide nothing but lousy songs.though, i enjoyed some of the lousy songs. you name it, creed disbanded, steps disbanded, westlife disbanded (though it was only bryan), even evanescense has to lose ben mody. sigh. its a prove that nothing is lasting. but some things are.like good friendship. have u found one?anyway, disbanded bands meaning that one has to say goodbye to the other.its not easy to say goodbye. i was half alive when i had to say bye to my mom. she was burried and i was crying like it was the end of the world. it was, for me at least though eventually i met the realization that life should not end there.and here i am continuing my life.
well, orion disbanded some days ago. i got the news from sandra. sandra cried to that. i understood fully how she felt. orion was,or lets use is instead since they still have 3 members left, a great band. La gran musica banda. orion plays latin songs.i met the band while they were still playing in the food court where me and sandra eats everyday. the food court located near by to our campurs and dorms. the place is always full everyday. it gathers many kinds of vendors who used to sell their foods on the streets. they call it kaki lima here. but the government decided to put them in one place so that they wont bother the trafic, beside i think it is cleaner than they time they were on the streets. and a lot safer of course.
anyway, orion played lots of latin songs. they played spiritfully. they played lively. thats why me and sandra are they big fans. up to this moment. their songs are the one that would make you dance. u would forget that its a public place and no one in Indonesia would dare to dance on that kind of venue.well, things are different for me.if only its okay to dance there while others are eating i would dance. i mean it. i guess thats why most latin people love to dance.and latin people dance exotically. notice tango, salsa, and what else? well all of them are exotic for me.they got that nice hip movement.i guess thats also why latin ladies captured our eyes frequently. helo jeniffer lopez, helo cruz, halo salma. orion plays good latin songs and some of the songs are my favorite.

"ami wawa alamaire...amiwawa alamaire, amiwawa...amiwawa...amiwawa alamaire"

i hardly memorize the lyrics or even the title of the songs but i love them.that much.it makes me want to dance.most of the orions have long hair that go to their shoulders. they oftenly played with black uniforms.and sometimes they play somewhere else cause i know that playing in one place only wont make them able to afford their daily lives.i know how hard that is to work for ur damn ass life. they came faraway from cilacap to play latin songs here in jogja.
now they disbanded. i already sense some sort of break in the near past. i know somehow that its gonna end. i know that everyfans would be sad to know this. cause our foodcourt wont be the same. no sexy, sultry, hot latin songs to accompany our dinner.no wild imagination that one wish he or she can dance there while other people see them dance among the heat of the food. no long haired guys playing latin songs. no more. its over.
this sunday they will leave jogja. even some of the previous members of the band has been gone soon enough that we dont know where they are now.
