Hello brothers and sisters, We are Indonesia Bersatu, a Punk Rock band from Medan, Indonesia. We are here again to entertain you and also share the music video that we played in the Hive #OpenMic community which has entered its 128th week. So, this week's theme is “Desamor " which means “Heartbreak” which has been chosen by spotlight artist 
If I think about it, heartbreak has a broader meaning. When we watch sad movies, we can also get heartbreak. Especially if you see something more than that around us. It can be said that our band was formed because of a heartbreak. Yups, we heartbreak seeing the harsh reality around us. Many oppressions are still happening around us, many children cannot go to school because of the high cost of education, many sick people cannot be helped because they cannot afford hospital fees, and there are still many hungry people who are forced to steal because they do not have ordinary, and much more. These things make our heartbreak.
By forming this band, we voice our protest against injustice through music. Why do we choose punk in the genre of music that we carry? Because punk is a rebellion. We rebel because we reject oppression and injustice. We want this world to have no social inequality, we want this world to be ruled by hypocrites who don't care about the fate of the lower class. Our heartbreak will continue to roar, screaming until justice is served by the proletariat.
From this week's theme, we sing an original song that we released in 2006. The song entitled “Fakta” in English is “Fact” written by our vocalist named Opan Gobank. This song is included in our second album, “Merdeka Atau Mati” in English "Freedom or Die" which was released and distributed by “Tuax Records”.
Lyric in Indonesian
“Reformasi telah berganti
Demokrasi pun telah mati
Haruskah negri ini
Berakhir kini
Penggusuran dimana-mana
Pastilah rakyat yang jadi korbannya
Haruskah selamanya
Rakyat menderita
Ooo.. Ooo… Negeri ini
Tanpa kepastian dan keseimbangan
Rakyat kelaparan
Ooo.. Ooo.. Negeri ini
Tanpa kepastian dan keseimbangan
Kemiskinan berkepanjangan
Kemanusiaan tak dihiraukan
Kebebasan pun tak kurasakan
Haruskah terbelenggu
Indonesia ku”
English Lyric
“Reform has changed
Democracy is dead
Should this country
End now
Evictions are everywhere
It must be the people who are the victims
Should it be forever
People are suffering
Ooo... Ooo… This country
Without certainty and balance
People are hungry
Ooo... Ooo... This country
Without certainty and balance
Prolonged poverty
Humanity is ignored
I don't even feel the freedom
Should be shackled
my Indonesia”
The place where we recorded this video at our friend's music studio named Mita, which is located on Jl. Setia Budi, Medan City, Indonesia. We recorded it using a Cannon brand mirrorless camera. For the sound produced, I edited using Adobe Audition CC to reduce noise in the sound recording, and the final process of editing the video was using Adobe Premiere Pro CC software. That's all we can say, hope you like it and thank you. Peace to all of us.
