Jakarta-based alternative-pop band Lomba Sihir returns with their latest single, “Sofa” released on February 19, 2025. This song is more than just a soothing pop composition; it is also a tribute to an object that has always been present in many significant moments of human life.

Song Meaning: A Song of Warmth and Memories

“Sofa” exudes warmth with its naturally flowing melody, creating a nostalgic atmosphere for listeners. With a minimalist arrangement that highlights vocal harmonies, gentle guitar plucks, and a calming mid-tempo rhythm, the song becomes the perfect companion for moments of reflection.

Lomba Sihir seeks to capture how a sofa, though an inanimate object, silently witnesses countless events in a person’s life—from lighthearted conversations to intense debates. “We realized that among all entities, a sofa is actually the ‘backbone’ of human life. It’s the place where we discuss ideas, call our parents, argue with our partners, and solve life’s problems.” Lomba Sihir shared in an interview with ANTARA.

A Simple and Honest Concept

Unlike their previous songs that often contained metaphors or multiple interpretations, “Sofa” is presented with straightforward lyrics, free of hidden meanings. “This song carries no double meanings. When we wrote it, we simply imagined what our sofa would say to us after witnessing all the ups and downs of life that unfolded on it. That’s all there is to it,” they added.

This simplicity is precisely what makes “Sofa” powerful. The song does not attempt to be overly elaborate but instead reminds us that even everyday objects hold stories if we are willing to look at them from a different perspective. “If an inanimate object like a sofa could talk, it would have an abundance of stories to tell. It might sound amusing, but our sofa is also a witness to our lives,” they continued.

Fans Reception: Enthusiasm and Expectations Towards Their Second Album

Released as part of the lead-up to their second album, set to arrive at the end of 2025, “Sofa” has already garnered positive responses from listeners. Many find the song comforting and nostalgic, reminding them of cherished memories that took place in their own living rooms.

With their honest and warm approach, Lomba Sihir once again proves their ability to create music that is not only pleasant to hear but also deeply resonant. If “Sofa” is an indication of what’s to come in their upcoming album, fans can look forward to more heartfelt and meaningful songs.

[Verse 1: Natasha Udu]
Apa kenang
Yang terakhir kau ingat
Kusam
Ku di sini saksikan segalanya

[Pre-Chorus: Natasha Udu]
Obrolan jam tiga pagi, abu rokok, remah makanan
Berantakan
Andai ku bisa bicara, banyak yang ingin kusampaikan

[Chorus]
Semua cerita yang engkau lalui
Drama dan tawa
Rebahlah, kau tahu ku selalu di sini
Ku bersamamu, dirimu malam ini

[Verse 2: Rayhan Noor]
Di sini satu per satu beban terurai
Tak seburuk yang kau bayangkan
Pergulatan batinmu, keruhnya kepalamu
Selesai dengan besar hatimu

[Pre-Chorus: Natasha Udu & Rayhan Noor]
Obrolan jam tiga pagi (Jam tiga pagi), abu rokok, remah makanan (Remah makanan)
Berantakan (Berantakan)
Andai ku bisa bicara banyak yang ingin kusampaikan (Kusampaikan)
Biarku perlihatkanmu

[Chorus]
Semua cerita yang engkau lalui
Drama dan tawa (Drama dan tawa)
Rebahlah, kau tahu ku selalu di sini (Ku selalu di sini)
Ku bersamamu, dirimu malam ini

[Bridge: Hindia & Natasha Udu]
Helai rambutmu di sela lipatanku
Ada yang memutih
Busaku (Busaku, busaku) menipis, semoga masih nyaman
‘Tuk kau bersandar

[Chorus]
Semua cerita yang еngkau lalui
Drama dan tawa
Rebahlah (Rebahlah), kau tahu ku selalu di sini
Ku bеrsamamu, dirimu malam ini

[Outro]
Semua (Semua) cerita yang engkau lalui (Yang engkau lalui)
Drama dan tawa (Tawa)
Rebahlah, kau tahu ku selalu di sini
Ku bersamamu
