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

Hollywood Nobody Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He's only a boy with his crying guitar
He thinks of the world but the world in on the run
There's no time to turn and smile
He has these eyes and hands to hear
He only sees with his fulfilled heart
His sweat is the music
At the end of the day he smiled and gone
Gone gone gone he's going to me
I am the audience applauding at him
And this smile I mentioned I get everyday
In our secret place that no one knows
In our sanctuary I thought I lost
I once fell in love with an ordinary boy
He's only a boy with his crying guitar
He thinks of the world but the world in on the run
There's no time to turn and smile
He has these eyes and hands to hear
He only sees with his fulfilled heart
His sweat is the music
And the earth is the stage
At the end of the day he smiled and gone
Gone gone gone he's going to me
He has these eyes and hands to hear
He only sees with his fulfilled heart
His sweat is the music
And the earth is the stage
He has these eyes and hands to hear
He only sees with his fulfilled heart
His sweat is the music
And the earth is the stage
He has these eyes and hands to hear
He only sees with his fulfilled heart
His sweat is the music
And the earth is the stage
And the earth is the stage

I once fell in love with an ordinary boy
At one point I was enamored by a regular guy
He's only a boy with his crying guitar
He's just a kid with his guitar who plays with a lot of emotions
He thinks of the world but the world in on the run
He ponders the world while it rushes past him
There's no time to turn and smile
There's always too much going on for him to stop and enjoy himself
He has these eyes and hands to hear
His eyes and hands are able to translate sound
He only sees with his fulfilled heart
He only views the world with contentment
His sweat is the music
His hard work and effort is what creates amazing music
And the earth is the stage
The world is his platform to perform
At the end of the day he smiled and gone
When the day was over, he would depart contently
Gone gone gone he's going to me
He travels to me after finishing his day
I am the audience applauding at him
As his audience, I cheer him on
And this smile I mentioned I get everyday
I feel happy every day as a result of hearing his music
In our secret place that no one knows
We have a discreet location where we enjoy each other's company
In our sanctuary I thought I lost
At one point, I thought I had lost our special place

I didn't get to see you before I got to know you
I thought you're just some random regular issue
Who's playing cool, I bought it, I played it
Who's playing cool
I got to see you that day right before I lose interest
I still thought you were playing cool guy
Who thinks he's it, well I didn't buy it, I didn't play it
Who thinks he's it…
Coz your eyes shine differently
I know what you're thinking instead of what you're saying
Coz your voice came out gently
I barely know what you're thinking let alone say it
You hypnotized me, you legalized it
You criticized me, I think I like it
Love me Love me
Just crush me baby
hit me beat me
just rock me baby
yes right now
right now all night
I'm telling you
I'm telling you...
