Endah recorded numerous songs of hers in an album entitled ”The New Beginning”, a four-track mini album which was independently distributed, with a limited number of copy. In one of the songs in the album, Rhesa added some bass thumps and made it a fascinating mix of the three instruments (vocal, guitar and bass). The song is titled “When You Love Someone”. From that time being, Endah and Rhesa started to play together in campus events, and the feedbacks toward their music were tremendously positive. Finally, they decided to create a stage name for their duo/musical project which comes from their own names: Endah N Rhesa.
Endah N Rhesa was inspired to start playing in minimalist acoustic format, surprisingly, because of some local bands, namely: Cozy Street Corner, Bonita and Anda. In terms of singing, Endah is influenced by Alanis Morissete and Norah Jones. Besides, there are also the four “Johns” that influence her in playing guitar: John Mayer, John Butler, John Scofield and John Frusciante. Endah also credits Pat Metheny and multi-talented instrumentalist Warman Nasution of TOR for inspiring her. Rhesa, on the other hand, is a unique personality who is mainly influenced by acoustic guitarists like Jack Johnson, Dave Matthews, James Taylor and other folk and ballad musicians. The persons that Rhesa put into credit for making him play bass are Les Claypool, Victor Wooten, Flea and ex-child singer Bondan Prakoso. They both, however, share the same influence in music, to wit: Bela Fleck & The Flecktones, which affects them mostly on creating rich groovy and harmonic nuances in the music of Endah N Rhesa.
Endah N Rhesa has released “Nowhere To Go” (old version) in 2005 and “Real Live”, a live recording piece, in 2006. Endah N Rhesa marketed and distributed both the former and the latter all by themselves through their stage acts. After releasing “Nowhere To Go” (repackaged version), which is now on sale in music stores, in 2009, Endah N Rhesa is coming into a whole broader world. “Our music is sincere and it’s coming from inside our hearts,” they say

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't know you I don't know you
Who is standing next to me
And I don't care about all the things you do
I love you I love you
I love you who is looking back to me

I don't know you who is standing next to me
And I don't care about all the things you do
I love you I love you
Oh I love you who is looking back to me
I love you oh baby baby it's you

In "Baby It's You" by Endah N Rhesa, the lyrics portray a sense of uncertainty and indifference towards someone who is standing next to the singer. The repetition of "I don't know you" and "I don't care about all the things you do" suggests a lack of familiarity or connection with this person. However, amidst this ambiguity, a strong feeling of love emerges. The singer declares their love for this individual who is looking back at them, expressing that maybe, just maybe, it is this person they have been searching for all along.
The simple and repetitive nature of the lyrics adds to the raw and honest emotion being conveyed. It captures the essence of a moment where love unexpectedly takes center stage, surpassing any concerns or reservations about knowing someone deeply. It highlights the idea that sometimes love can be instantaneous and unexplainable, defying logic and preconceived notions.
Overall, "Baby It's You" by Endah N Rhesa presents a contrast between not knowing or caring about someone and yet feeling an intense love towards them. It explores the complexities of emotions and the mysterious ways in which love can manifest.
