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

without me all along
the fact that upsetting
yet a lil bit releaving
time is a mystery
space is a myth
cant be sure where you're going
the darkness tells me nothing
you've been alright
without me all along
the fact that upsetting
yet a lil bit releaving
time is a mystery
space is a myth
cant be sure where you're going
the darkness tells me nothing
we're walking on a different tracks
heading to a different space and time
and i can see you're doing okay
though i'll be using telescope
capturing your moves
deliver love you might not received, not received.
you've been alright
without me all along
the fact that upsetting
yet a lil bit releaving
time is a mystery
space is a myth
cant be sure where you're going
the darkness tells me nothing
we're walking on a different tracks
heading to a different space and time
and i can see you're doing okay

deliver love you might not received, not received.

The lyrics of Hollywood Nobody's song Telescope talk about a person who is reflecting on their past relationship. The first lines express the realization that the person they were with has been doing just fine without them. This realization is both upsetting and relieving as it conveys a sense of loss but also a sense of release. The following lines convey the theme of uncertainty, with time being described as a mystery and space as a myth, emphasizing the inability to know what lies ahead.
The verse "we're walking on different tracks, heading to a different space and time" suggests that both parties have moved on and are living their lives. However, the singer is still keeping tabs on the other person using a metaphorical telescope to capture their moves. They want to deliver love that the other person might not have received, indicating a desire to connect even though they are no longer a couple.
The overall theme of the song is the aftermath of a relationship, how it can be both freeing and bittersweet. It speaks to the idea that not all breakups are bad, that sometimes we need to let go of things and people to find our own paths. The song's soothing pace and melody create a sense of nostalgia and allow listeners to relate to the feelings of the singer.
