IMAGINE HAVING TO GIVE UP THE ONE WHO YOU LOVE THE MOST.
WE ALL DO AT ONE POINT. KOSHI'S UPCOMING ALBUM "LOVE TRAGEDY" IS INSPIRED BY A
LIFE EVENT OF TWO YOUNG PEOPLE OF DIFFERENT ETHNIC BACKGROUND WHO HAPPEN TO MEET IN A
PLACE DURING THEIR EDUCATIONAL JOURNEY. THEN IT ALL ENDS WITH A SWEET-TRAGIC
TALE WHEN THEY HAVE TO LET GO OF EACH-OTHER IF THEY WERE TO TRULY LOVE
ONE-ANOTHER. IT WAS WRITTEN.
ONCE UPON A TIME, A GUY WALKS INTO A DIFFERENT SECTION OF A STATS CLASS TO CATCH
UP WITH MISSED LECTURES. THERE HE IS ASSIGNED WITH A GROUP OF STUDENTS AND
ASKED TO CARRYOUT ASSIGNMENT AND BRING THEM IN THE NEXT MEETING SESSION. HE IS
INTRODUCED TO A KIND HEARTED LADY IN THE GROUP, WHO HE IS DRAWN UPON. THE GUY
SWITCHES HIS CLASS AND COMES TO THE NEXT MEETING SESSION SESSION.
WEEKS PASS BY AND AT THE TIME OF THE COMPLETION OF THE CLASS, THE TWO FALL
FOR ONE-ANOTHER.
IN THE PROCESS THEY SPEND 3 YEARS OF THEIR LIVES
TOGETHER UNDER ONE SHED AND HELP EACH OTHER OUT THROUGH ROUGH TIMES. THE GIRL
HELPS OUT THE GUY WITH HIS UNFINISHED SCHOOLING, AND THE
GUY HELPS THE GIRL WITH HER HEALTH AND SPIRITUAL AWAKENING ACCORDINGLY. AFTER A
LONG HARD DAY, THEY WOULD COME HOME TO A COMFORT OF THEIR NEST AND FIND PEACE IN EACH-OTHERS ARMS.
AS TIME GOES BY, SO AS THEIR LOVE DEEPENS. HOWEVER
THOUGH, LOVE ITSELF IS NOT ENOUGH IN
THEIR CASE. THE REALITY STRIKES IN WHEN THEY HAVE TO CONSIDER TO TAKE CARE OF
THEIR OLD PARENTS BACK HOME AND SURVIVING VAST CULTURAL DIFFERENCES. THE GUY COMES FROM SOUTH
EAST ASIAN COUNTRY AND HAS TO RETURN BACK TO HIS HOME TO TAKE CARE OF HIS OLD PARENTS. COMING
FROM A COUNTRY WHERE THE ECONOMIC LIVING STANDARD IS LOW AND CULTURALLY DIFFERENT, IT
WOULD BE A GREAT STRUGGLE FOR A WESTERN GIRL TO LIVE IN SUCH ENVIRONMENT. THE
GIRL ON THE OTHER-HAND MISSES HER PARENTS WHO ARE OLD AND LONELY BACK HOME IN
EUROPE; WAITING IN VAIN FOR THEIR DAUGHTER TO RETURN.
THE REALITY WAS SO CRUEL THAT IT
WAS DIVIDING THEIR DESTINY AND DIVINITY. SINCE THE DAY THEY DISCOVERED THEIR LONG LOST
LOVE WILL BE TAKEN AWAY AS THEIR FUTURE HOLDS DIFFERENT PATHS, THE COUNT
DOWN IN THEIR LIVES BEGIN. DURING THIS EMOTIONAL TIMES, THEY BEGIN TO REALIZE
THE VALUE OF EVERY SECOND MEANT EVERYTHING. BOTH OF THEM LEAD A SPIRITUAL LIFESTYLE, FOCUSING ON
NOW, AND LET GO OF THE FUTURE. TOMORROW WILL
COME THE WAY IT WAS MEANT TO. IT WAS PAINFUL JOURNEY KNOWING THAT THEY WILL NOT
BE SHARING THEIR LIVES TOGETHER, YET THEY HAVE TO ACCEPT IT REGARDLESS.
IN THEIR LAST DAYS, THEY SAY GOODBYE TO ONE-ANOTHER, NOT
TO FORGET THE LIVES THEY LIVED, AND THE LESSONS THEY LEARNT. THEY TIED TWO BALLOONS AND SET THEM FREE UP IN THE SKY AS A
METAPHOR FOR IF IT WAS MEANT TO BE IN THE NEXT TIME-SPACE, IT WILL.
ON JUNE 3RD 2005,
THERE WERE SO MUCH TO SAY, SO MANY DREAMS, SO MUCH TO SHARE AND GIVE; YET, ALL
OF WHICH REMAINED DEEP WITHIN THEIR WISHES. AFTER BEING OCEANS
APART FOR 3 MONTHS, THEY PROMISED TO BE EACH-OTHERS EXTENDED FAMILY AND BECOME
THE SHADOW THAT CANNOT BE SEEN.
ALTHOUGH THE DREAMS OF THE TWO CHARACTERS DOES NOT COME TRUE IN THEIR LIVES;
WITH THEIR PAIN THEY WISH TO TAKE THE SUFFERINGS OF OTHERS WHO GO THROUGH
SIMILAR PATHS IN LIFE. IN THEIR MEMORY, THE GIRL BUYS AN ACOUSTIC GUITAR FOR HIM TO
REMEMBER HER; AND THE GUY WRITE SONGS FOR HER TO
REMEMBER HIM. SOME OF WHICH ARE BEING CAPTURED IN THE ALBUM CALLED "LOVE AND
TRAGEDY". THE ONLY THING THAT IS CONSTANT IN LIFE IS CHANGE, EMBRACE IT.
