All About "Mocca" - Sejarah, Discography dan Lirik Lagu Mocca


Pertama kali dengar musiknya, saya langsung suka. Musiknya semanis namanya, dengan lagu-lagu Easy listening dan mayoritas berlirik bahasa inggris dengan warna lagu pop dengan sentuhan swing jazz, twee pop, dan suasana ala t`hun 60-an Mocca semakin mewarnai belantika musik Indonesia. Mocca sendiri adalah grup musik indie asal Bandung. Grup ini beranggotakan Arina Ephipania (vokal dan flute), Riko Prayitno (gitar), Achmad Pratama / Toma (bass), dan Indra Massad (drum).

Awal berdiri

Pada mulanya Arina dan Riko merupakan teman satu kampus di IPB. Mereka tergabung dalam sebuah band kampus tahun 1997-an. Karena tidak cocok dengan anggota yang lain, Arina dan Riko pun sepakat mendirikan "Mocca". Dua tahun kemudian mereka bertemu dengan Indra dan Toma. Indra dan Toma merupakan teman satu kampus di Institut Teknologi Nasional, Bandung dan masuk ke Mocca pada waktu yang sama. Mocca pertama kali mucul dalam kompilasi Delicatessen (2002) dengan lagunya Secret Admirer, dan langsung merebut hati penggemar.

Perjalanan karier

Satu tahun kemudian mereka mengeluarkan debut album mereka "My Diary" (2003) dengan label indie "FFWD". Album ini meldak di pasaran. Lagu-lagu seperti "Secret Admirer" dan "Me and My Boyfriend" menjadi hits di mana-mana. Video klip "Me and My Boyfriend" mendapat penghargaan sebagai "best video of the year" versi MTV Penghargan Musik Indonesia 2003.

Bahkan mereka menandatangani kontrak dengan salah satu indie records di Jepang, Excellent Records, untuk mengisi satu lagu dalam album yang format rilisannya adalah kompilasi book set (3 Set) yang berjudul "Pop Renaisance". Ada 3 disc yang diedarkan di Jepang dan Mocca berada di disc no. 2 dengan lagu "Twist Me Arround".

Mocca kembali merilis album kedua mereka tahun 2005 bertajuk "Friends" masih dibawah label indie, Fast Forward Record. Dalam album ini Mocca tidak tampil sendirian. Mereka menggaet dua musisi andal untuk memperkaya musik mereka. Dari dalam negeri, mereka menghadirkan Bob Tutupoli untuk mengisi suara dalam lagu "This Conversation" dan lagu yang khusus dibuat untuknya, "Swing It Bob". Mereka juga berduet dengan musisi asal Swedia, Club 8. Bersama duo asal Swedia ini, Johan dan Karolina Komstedt, Mocca membawakan lagu "I Would Never".

Karier Mocca semakin menanjak. Tak hanya di dalam negeri, mereka mengembangkan sayap ke Asia. Singapura, Malaysia, Thailand, dan Jepang telah menikmati album mereka. Pada tahun 2005, Mocca menggelar konser di Singapura

Mocca juga terlibat dalam pembuatan lagu soundtrack. Kuartet ini pernah mengerjakan soundtrack film "Catatan Akhir Sekolah" karya Hanung Bramantyo dan soundtrack sinetron TV "Fairish the Series".

Mocca juga membuat sebuah mini album berisi 6 lagu, 2 di antaranya berbahasa Indonesia. Mini album ini sebelumnya berjudul "Sunday Afternoon", tapi dirilis dengan judul "Untuk Rena". Mocca terinspirasi naskah cerita film anak-anak berjudul "Untuk Rena". Mocca tak hanya mendapat inspirasi. Mereka juga mendapat kesempatan untuk memasukkan "Happy!" dan "Sebelum Kau Tidur" sebagai soundtrack film garapan Riri Riza itu.

Tahun 2007, Mocca mengeluarkan album ketiga mereka, "Colours". Album ini memuat materi baru, termasuk 2 cover song yaitu “Hyperballad” (Bjork) dan “Sing” (The Carpenters) serta sebuah kolaborasi dengan Pelle Carlberg (Edson) dalam lagu “Let Me Go”.

Lirik Lagu


Once Upon A Time
Once upon a time, when the sky was covered with blue
Once upon a time, when the sun was smiling too
We’re just common people with an ordinary look
We’re just common people with an ordinary love
And once upon a time, when I fell in love with you?




Secret Admirer 
Oh, secret admirer?
When you’re around the autumn feels like summer
How come you’re always messing up the weather?
Just like you do to me..
My Silly admirer
How come you never send me bouquet of flowers?
It’s whole lot better than disturbing my slumber
If you keep knocking at my door
Last night in my sleep
I dreamt of you riding on my counting sheep
Oh how you’re always bouncing
Oh you look so annoying. (Please!)
Dear handsome admirer
I always think that you’re a very nice fellow
But suddenly you make me feel so mellow
Every time you say: ”HELLO!”
And every time you look at me
I wish you vanish and disappear into the air
How come you keep on smiling?
Oh! You look so annoying?. (Not again!)
My secret admirer
I never thought my heart could be so yearning
Please tell me now why try to ignore me
‘Cause I do miss you so
My silly admirer (’cause I do miss you so..)
My handsome admirer (’cause I do miss you so..)
Dear secret admirer?
‘Cause I do miss you so?

Twisted Me Around
Strolling along down the road in the evening with the moon and the sky
Hey diddle-diddle the cat in the fiddle my heart jumps over the moon
My hands are held while we’re crossing the street
It’s all I could hope for
Seeing your smile when I tickle your tummy is all I ever wish for
Sometimes you’re sweeter than a pie made of lemon
But sometimes full of secrets like Clark Kent
Twist me around?
All I need is someone who’s willing to stroke my hair
Like a soft blowing breeze..
My poor sentimental side
Twist me around?
I’ve always dreamed of being couple like Daisy and the famous Donald Duck
Harry and Sally or Bonnie and Clyde all you have to do is knock
Sometimes you’re sweeter than a pie made of lemon
But sometimes full of secrets like Clark Kent
Twist me around?
All I need is someone who’s willing to stroke my hair
Like a soft blowing breeze..
My poor sentimental side
Twist me around?
All I need is someone who’s willing to stroke my hair
Like a soft blowing breeze..
My poor sentimental side
Twist me around?

What If 
What if I give you my smile?
Are you gonna stay for a while?
What if I put you in my dreams tonight?
Are you gonna stay until it’s bright?
What if I give you my story?
Are you gonna listen to me?
What if I give you my heart?
Are we never gonna be apart?
Come on baby try harder
Come on baby light my fire
Come on baby be mine
‘Cause you’re the one I wanted to be
What if I do ignore you
Will you just walk away and cry?
What if I did disappoint you?
Are you gonna say goodbye?
Come on baby try harder
Come on baby light my fire
Come on baby be mine
‘Cause you’re the one I wanted to be
What if I try to catch flying snitch?
Are you gonna come with me?
What if I give you my song?
Are we gonna sing along?
Come on baby try harder
Come on baby light my fire
Come on baby be mine
‘Cause you’re the one I wanted to be
What if you leave me right here?
I’m right here and waiting for you?


Me And My Boyfriend 
I’ve got a boyfriend now
He’s my dearest pal
He’ll always catch me when I fall
He’s always there when I call
I’ve got a boyfriend now
He always talks so loud
Even in a crowded house
He always shows what he got
I share my dreams and all my stories
I don’t think I need my diary
If you’re teasing me, don’t you worry?
I will keep you in my memories
When my boyfriend smiles
The world seems all mine
And all the days seems truly fine
Make me reach up for the sky
Me & my boyfriend now
We’re moving so slow
If you really want to know
Come on and join the show!
I share my dreams and all my stories
I don’t think I need my diary
If you’re teasing me, don’t you worry?
I will keep you in my memories
When I’m blue?. feel so lonely
No one sits here right beside me
I’m gonna call you just to hurry
Come and see me
It’s so scary and I need you desperately
I share my dreams and all my stories
I don’t think I need my diary
If you’re teasing me, don’t you worry?
I will keep you in my memories
I share my dreams and all my stories
I don’t think I need my diary
If you’re teasing me, don’t you worry?
I? will? keep? you? in?. my memories

Telephone 
It is cold, in this October rain

I go to turn on TV
Sit on the couch feeling blue
Wait till the phone starts too ring
I start to think you forgot
Just as you always do
I don’t want to hear your excuse bla..bla.bla
‘Cause it all makes my day turn to gray
Feeling bored, it starts to haunt me again
I start to discover some clues
Wondering what you have done
Everything went really bad
Just as I always do
I don’t want to hear your excuse bla..bla..bla
‘Cause it all makes my day turn to gray
The time passes me by
As I listen to lullaby
When the phone start to ring
I am drowning in my dream


Dream 
In the middle of the night
A dream wakes me up
It is not very good dream
Maybe it’s my nightmare
When I started my day
It’s still stuck on my mind
And that thing ruined my day
Made my head spin around
But why?. should I believe my dream will come true
And I don’t have ant reason to believe that all of my dreams will come true
My dream says that you’ll leave
Leave me here on m own
Leave me to breakdown and cry
There’s nothing left for me
Maybe I should not trust
Maybe I should not ask
Or did I push you too hard
So you leave me for good

When The Moonlight Shines 
When the moonlight shines
And all of stars smiling
Now the time has come
You leave me all behind
I’m not feeling fine
I’m feeling down
When the moonlight smiling
With his pearly smile
I think is very funny
How does life could be?
Once you appear with a grin
And now you really left me
With no one to hold me
As time goes by I will drown



And Rain Will Fall 
I can’t understand

Why my world keeps on turning?
And I can’t understand
Why the sun keeps on shining?
When you left me all alone
But I do understand
That you have someone better
And I can’t understand
That you saved me for later
I can take it I will wait
All that I need now
Is for the rain to fall from&nbrp;the sky
To wash away my pain inside
All that I need now
Is for the rain to fall from the sky
The rain will fall
The rain will fall?.



Life Keeps On Running 
We’ve come to the final story
All of it has passed behind me
With my smile and now I’m ready
Or my next step again
I know I can’t drown forever
I’ve got a life that I have to deal with
I believe that life keeps on turning
And I’m here just to wait and sing
Yes, I’m here just to wait and sing..
Loosing you is not the end of the world
But it’s true that it definitely hurts
That it definitely hurts!

Goodnight Song 
Lying here, singing my lullaby

Letting time pass me by
Counting stars in the sky
And don’t let the bedbugs bite
Just turn off the light
Make me feel all right
Bidding farewell and goodnight
Lying here, listening my clock tick-tick
Leads me into sweet dreams
It makes me start to think
What do our Teddy bears do?
Just turn off the light
Make me feel all right
Bidding farewell and goodnight
Outside my window
Hear sounds of the little fellow
Oh, but I don’t know
Will they sing until tomorrow?


On The Night Like This
On the night like this
There’re so many things I want to tell you
On the night like this
There’re so many things I want to show you

Cause when you’re around
I feel safe and warm
When you’re around
I can fall in love every day

In the case like this
There are thousand good reasons
I want you to stay..



I Think I'm In Love

If you got an eerie feeling after hanging up the phone
Sort of happy feeling but you’re not sure what it’s called


If you’re haunted by his face whenever you’re asleep at night
And think you hear his silly voice just calling out your name


Reff:
Oh ,no! I think I’m in love with you..
Oh, no! I’m hoping you’ll want me too
So, please..don’t let me down!


Just can’t help but talk about him in every conversation
Till your friends are sick and tired of that same old crap


If you start wearing make up even when you go to bed
Crying like a baby when you hear a mellow song


Reff



My Only One
We had a fight last night
And I called him: “mad!”
Makes me feel so sad
And I’m so ashamed

He’s my only one
I give him all my love
Even though my mom says: “No!”
I just go on and on..

No one’s gonna take him away from me..

Everyday and every night
I just wanna hold him tight and make sure that everything stays right
And everyday and every night
To dream of him is my delight and know that
He’ll stay with me all the way



Friend
* If anyone can fill my world with joy and happiness
And cast away all of my loneliness
Always there beside me when I am down
And never left my face with a frown

Reff:
It’s you! Yes, it is you my friend who can make it all come true
It’s you! Yes, it is true a friend in need is a friend indeed

If anyone can fill my world with joy and happiness
And cast away all of my loneliness
Always there beside me when I am down
And never left my face with a frown

Back to Reff

When you’re around I wrap my self in a pearly smile
When you’re around you light the bulb inside my head
When you’re around I wrap my self in a pearly smile
When you’re around I dance and sway and kiss the ground

Back to *, Reff

When you’re around I wrap my self in a pearly smile
When you’re around you light the bulb inside my head
When you’re around I wrap my self in a pearly smile
When you’re around I laugh and sing out strong and loud



Lucky Man
Some people say you’re a lucky man
To win the first prize lottery
Some people say you’re a lucky man
To have a high-flying bright career

But I know they’re wrong
And I’m sure they’re wrong

Some people say you’re a lucky man
To have a lot of friends out there
Some people say you’re a lucky man
To have doors open everywhere

But I know they’re wrong
You’re a very lucky man
To know such a girl like her



I Would Never
Sentimental feeling in my heart
Growing bigger stronger everyday
Every single day and every night
All of them mean more than words can say

Believe me, as I believe in you..

I would never run away from you
I would never ever lie to you
I would never run away from you
I would never ever let you down



This Conversation
Hey, Boy! Did you know?
I lie awake in my dreamy bed
Thinking of you and those crazy times we’ve had

Sometimes I wonder..
Whether you’re a Jekyll or you’re a Hyde?
Sometimes you are wise and tell no lies

Reff:
Oh I can’t tell..
‘cause you make me feel so loved and confused
This conversation may never happen

Hey, Girl! Did you know?
I miss you so though it may not show
Thinking of you and those crazy times we’ve had

My dear I have news to tell you
Your silly jokes did brighten me
You cheered me up when I was down..

Reff (2x)

May never happen (3x)



How Wonderful Life Would Be
Oh, dear! How wonderful life would be..
With you still in my heart
Oh, dear! How wonderful life would be..
With you still in my dreams

Only stars in the sky
Who will understand my tears?
Let the time pass me by
I am lonely as can be
Lonely raven in the sky
Who will understand my fears?
It is just you and I..
My aching despair..



Swing It Bob
* Hello Dear! What can I do for you?
Will you go and swing along tonight?
Just take a step and they’ll do the rest
Just let it flow…and you will glow
Just like the moonbeam up in the sky tonight

Never mind…troubles that may have come
Just go along with the tunes the band are playing
But let’s go and dance!
Do tango or a mambo jumbo I don’t care!

Back to *

Do the cha-cha-cha..
Do the Tango..
Do the Samba..
Or Perhaps play something sweet..slow..and nice like…a waltz?

Na’ah! I prefer to go swinging…!

Back to *



Its Over Now
I know that you’re very nice
Never ever tell me lies
You’re always there to comfort me
And cheer me up when I am down

* However that is it
You’ve got you’re world and I’ve got mine
And after all that we’ve been through I must say

Reff :
Sorry honey, my heart is not for you..
Sorry baby this love is not for you
Sorry honey, my heart is not for you..
Sorry baby this love is not for you
It’s over now..

Back to *

Reff



I Can't Believe you've Cheat on Me
I've got one big question for you
Did you need to make me feel blue
If you sneak around on me
So hasta la vista
baby

So many years we've been together
I can’t believe you cheated on me
You said our love will last forever
I can’t believe you cheated on me

And remember this boy, I'm the one who walk away from you
And remember this boy, I am the one who say goodbye

So many years we've been together
I can’t believe you cheated on me

And just remember this boy, I'm the one who walk away from you
And remember this boy, I am the one who say goodbye

And so you better think twice honey if you wanna roll the days
You better think twice honey and you gotta be a nice
You better think twice honey if you wanna be a wise
You better think twice honey if you really wanna stay with me

And just remember this boy, I'm the one who walk away from you
And remember this boy, I am the one who say goodbye

So many years we've been together
I can’t believe you cheated on me
You said our love will last forever
I can’t believe you cheated on me

And just remember this boy, I'm the one who walk away from you
And remember this boy, I am the one who say goodbye

And so you better think twice honey if you wanna roll the days
You better think twice honey and you gotta be a nice
You better think twice honey if you wanna be a wise
You better think twice honey if you really wanna stay with me

I can’t believe you cheated on me (x3)
