Then
"Hollywood nobody" is taken from a term in US, about people (artists) who want to join the biggest entertainment industry (Hollywood) but still remain as nobody. This term represents our desire to be musicians, and to be ‘somebody’ in a world music industry, someday.
Hollywood Nobody was formed on 29th September 2005 in Bandung, Indonesia. It begins from Dian’s willing to perform in her friend’s small gig. We were performing Feist’s and Kings of Convenience’s songs in a smooth bossanova way. Just FYI, it was terrible. But after the gig, we went to have dinner and started to combine our ideas to make a serious concept about Hollywood Nobody’s music. We decided to concentrate in bossanova genre with the sense of each personality as a person, and the harmony as a band. To be honest, as different personalities, seven of us were listening to different kinds of music. But the differences became our special characteristic as a unique harmony and creates Hollywood Nobody’s bossanova, starting with these singles.
Now
Hollywood Nobody has become a conceptual band, a band focused on bossanova, and a mix of other genre such as pop and pull up a dark theme. Hollywood Nobody’s lyrics tell about the reality of life from young adult’s view. Common issues such friendship, romance, and how to face the complex days of living, we keep thinking that life is not always magnificent and colorful. Sometimes, life could be darker than we’ve ever imagined. This dark side is what we poured into Hollywood Nobody’s lyrics. But we also realize that there are other colors represent to lighten the dark side, and as a young adult we should still enjoy our dark and light lives. Hollywood Nobody’s music represents it. So far, we have composed 12 songs and perform on-stage and off-stage (radio performance). We also cover other bands' songs (of different genres) in a Hollywood Nobody way. Conceptually, we play what we like, and we will never make music contradictory with our desire and our idealism. We will never tread on what's in and hot in the industry at the moment. We are not rebellious, nor we are poseur. Hollywood Nobody is our heart, our soul, and our mind.
Futurama
In the future, Hollywood Nobody wants to spread the spirit globally, compete with other musicians and bands from other side of the world, and show the world that Indonesia has great musicians with great quality and original ideas. And, with this profile, we are inviting the readers, together with us to complete our desire, and bring Indonesian music industry to the next level—global industry. It’s a pleasure working with you!
Sincerely,
Hollywood Nobody
I write this song for you
Hollywood Nobody Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I had broken every single heart in town
That I dressed too much to impress
I could only shut up and sigh
But I have my best talking with you
And I dressed up to impress you
And the only person I call before sleep
The only person is only you
Did I really put super extra make up
Did I really straddle my feet down town
Did I really get a lot of calls from boys
I could only wonder and sigh
I could only wonder and sigh
Did I really put super extra make up
Did I really straddle my feet down town
Did I really get a lot of calls from boys
I could only wonder and sigh
I could only
Did I really put super extra make up
Did I really straddle my feet down town
Did I really get a lot of calls from boys
I could only wonder and sigh
I could only wonder and sigh
But I had my loudest laugh with you
I skipped my things just to be with you
And I put my make up and smile
And I put my make up and smile
In the morning for only you
The song "I write this song for you" by Hollywood Nobody talks about how the singer is receiving criticism from everyone around them for talking too much, dressing too much and breaking hearts. However, they reveal that they only dress up and talk excessively to impress one person - the one they have their best conversations with, the only person they call before going to sleep, and the only person they put makeup on for in the morning. The song portrays the vulnerability and sincerity of the singer towards this particular person.
The lyrics suggest that the singer is willing to change themselves solely for the person they are interested in. They are willing to let go of who they are perceived as and instead, be the person that they want this particular person to see them as. They are constantly wondering and sighing about their own behavior and actions in hopes of impressing this person.
Overall, the song is a beautiful representation of how we can be ourselves with certain people without worrying about being judged. It also speaks about our tendency to change ourselves, even temporarily, to impress someone we care about deeply.
