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

Take Me Home
Endah N Rhesa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
no one look for me... and i keep going on
Something wrong... there's something wrong
That i can't find my way back home
i'm so tired... i'm really tired
i'm still waiting... waiting for a ride
i closed my eyes i hope i can see
please somebody please
Take me Home...
The lyrics to Endah N Rhesa's song Take Me Home touch upon the sense of loneliness and feeling lost in one's own journey. The opening line "When I'm Lost at the desert, no one looks for me" set the tone of the song where the singer is left stranded, and there's no one around to rescue them. The subsequent line "I keep going on" indicates the singer's resilience and determination to carry on, even when the odds are against them. However, the opening verse also highlights the potential internal conflict as the singer's repeated affirmation "Something wrong... there's something wrong" suggests they are struggling with something deeper within themselves.
The chorus of the song is a plea to be rescued, with the singer expressing their exhaustion and eagerness to go back home. Closing their eyes, they visualise their loved ones, particularly their "old man" who they hope would be holding them tight and comforting them. The repetition of "Take me home" emphasises the singer's yearning to return to a place of safety and familiarity.
Overall, the song poignantly captures the emotions of being lost and wanting to be found in both a physical and emotional sense. It's a reminder that despite the difficulties one faces, there's always a way back home.
