Hello Hive Open Mic brothers and sisters who remain in good spirits. Greetings and blessings to all. My name is Zein Grind from 
I really like discussing the topic of friendship, because friendship is so important in our lives. Friends are people we can rely on. Friends are always there for us when we need support, both joy and sorrow. In addition, a friend will help us grow and develop as individuals. A friend can give us a new perspective and help us learn from their experiences. A friendship will give us a sense of happiness and fulfillment. Because friendship will strengthen each other.
But, there are times when friendships become tenuous due to differences of opinion. Differences of opinion are natural in every relationship, including friendships. I experienced this in 2019. At that time I had two close friends, but due to differences in political views, the three of us were no longer close. It was during the election period. There were two presidential candidates running. My first friend supported a presidential candidate who leaned towards religious people, my second friend supported a presidential candidate who leaned towards nationalism, and I didn't support either of them because I didn't like identity politics. Initially, my two friends started to fall out because of their different political choices. I tried to bring them back together and told them not to be too fanatical about politics and ideology. But in the end, I was also shunned for not supporting one of them.
From my experience, I covered the song Kepompong by Sindentosca for my two friends who are no longer close to me. This song was released in 2017. Written by Jalu Hikmat Fitriadi. This song also became the soundtrack of the movie with the same title. Overall, this song tells the story of a friendship that used to be so warm, close, and inseparable but now it has become the opposite. Although it has long been released, this song is still widely sung. Below are the lyrics of the song Kepompong by Sindentosca.
Indonesian Lyrics
Dulu kita sahabat, teman begitu hangat
Mengalahkan sinar mentari
Dulu kita sahabat, berteman bagai ulat
Berharap jadi kupu-kupu
Kini kita berjalan berjauh-jauhan
Kau jauhi diriku karna sesuatu
Mungkin ku terlalu bertindak kejauhan
Namun itu karna ku sayang
Persahabatan bagai kepompong
Mengubah ulat menjadi kupu-kupu
Persahabatan bagai kepompong
Hal yang tak mudah berubah jadi indah
Persahabatan bagai kepompong
Maklumi teman hadapi perbedaan
Persahabatan bagai kepompong
Kepompong
English Lyrics
We used to be best friends, friends so warm
Beating the sunshine
We used to be best friends, friends like caterpillars
Hoping to become a butterfly
Now we walk far apart
You stay away from me because of something
Maybe I'm acting too far away
But that's because I love you
Friendship is like a cocoon
Turning a caterpillar into a butterfly
Friendship is like a cocoon
Things that are not easy turn out to be beautiful
Friendship is like a cocoon
Understand your friends' differences
Friendship is like a cocoon
Cocoon
In making this music video, I used the RealDrum application from my android phone to create drums, then used my electric bass. However, I gave the bass sound a distortion effect to have a punk and noise rock impression. For software, I used Adobe Audition CC for audio editing, and Capcut for video editing. Thank you very much for listening to the cover song that I played, I hope you like it. Greetings and blessings.
