Serendipity in Serendah

from Poskad Dari Malaysia by Az Samad

/

about

I wrote this song on 31 December 2012 at Sekeping Serendah, a beautiful retreat about an hour’s drive north of Kuala Lumpur. I performed this song live once there (as part of an intimate New Year Eve's gathering) and thankfully I had a recording of me rehearsing and performing it. I was extremely inspired by the quiet and beautiful surroundings.

As I played my guitar, this song came to me. Earlier today, I watched the videos again and learned the song, over 2 years after the initial version. As I revisited the piece, I started shaping the melody more and added a new bridge section.

The melody is close in spirit to my early ballads from my first album ‘Acoustic Gestures’ such as Berjalan Bersamamu and Senja Mula Menangis.
