Surya Tenggelam

Relived this gorgeous song by Guruh Soekarno Putra while populating my playlist today.




Idle browsing on this song turned out its "happy" counterpart, which is news to me:




The Kid Brothers's version is oldies-sounding and is an oldies all right (1980 album, if I gather correctly), but I am surprised to find that Chrisye's version actually first appeared in his 1978 album. I thought I first saw it on TV in the 1990s (also the period that would justify the more modern arrangement), but I can't remember if there was any event/movie/... that might have re-popularized this song at that time.

This discovery certainly crushed my half-formed hypothesis about the "generation gap" of music tastes. xD
