Cinta yang tlah hilang darimu

Yang mampu menyanjungku

Sebagai kenangan yang terindah

The above are lyrics to the song titled "Kenangan Terindah" by Samsons with the unofficial English translation done by me. I like this song because of its melody. I am not sure if you noticed it but the chord structure in the chorus is similar to Pachelbel's Canon In D. I like Canon in D so maybe that's why I like this song. I guess it's because of that similarity there.

It happened sometime ago. I was playing the chorus of this song on the piano when I heard someone humming behind me. It was a lady's voice. This song is popular in Indonesia, so it's no surprise that most people would know it. However, I wondered who could that lady be?

However, to stop and turn my head (the piano was facing the wall) to take a look would mean that I would need to stop and turn my head. That would be insensitive to the lady who was humming along with me. I ignored the humming and continued to play the chorus.

The humming got nearer and nearer. Whoever that lady was, I could sense that she was walking towards me. I ignored the humming again and continued to play on the piano.

Then suddenly, I could feel her hand on my shoulder.

Lady: That's a nice song. You played well.

This time I stopped playing and turned my head. After all, she stopped her humming and started a conversation. I recognized her face.

Me: Thanks. Do you know the title of this song?

Lady: Not too sure. But I know that it's quite famous here in Medan.

Me: I see.

After that short conversation, she went off. As for me, I continued to play the chorus of the song.
