Playing guitar since he was 10 years old and writing songs since then too, Chris has always felt a very strong and natural connection to all things musical.

Chris grew up with his parents musically raising him on The Beatles. "I am the Walrus" being one of the very first Beatles song he ever heard. Starting out on guitar in 1995 (inspired by Billy Corgan of the Smashing Pumpkins), he soon branched out to the bass, the piano, vocals and drums. This talent, in addition to his college education for Audio Engineering and owning his own recording studio, has given Chris the power to be a completely independent songwriter, musician, producer and audio engineer. Chris lives, writes and records in his own "Sunshine Studios" in NY.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oo..oo
Hari ini tanggal satu ini
Bulan januari
Ku bernyanyi lagi
Jam tuaku berbunyi
Berdentang dua belas kali
Seperti ingin berhenti
Tuk lepas memori penuh arti

S'lamat tinggal semua kenanganku dulu
Kini waktu t'lah berlalu
Buka lembar baru
Hari ini tanggal satu ini
Bulan januari
Ku bernyanyi lagi
Bernyanyi dengan mimpi

Sambut tahun ini
And i wanna wish you happy new year happy ever

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of J.E.L.L.i.'s "Happy New Year" are a reflection of the different phases of life that the artist has gone through. The song starts with the celebration of the year when the artist's life took ahold of them, becoming a turning point for them. With this, the artist acknowledges the time they've spent writing about their feelings in relation to someone else. They raise a glass full of poison while celebrating the new year, suggesting that the happy new year that we celebrate isn't always free of negativity and toxicity.

Furthermore, the lyrics also talk about the artist's struggles and troubles over the months, describing them as an "endlessly stormy sea." However, towards the end of the first verse, J.E.L.L.i. turns it around with relief and celebration by raising a glass of poison, acknowledging the year when they unchained themselves from someone else, found clarity, and stopped waiting for someone else to let them be free.

The second verse talks about the year where the artist learned how to plan things out and the year someone told them to "be a man." However, this is juxtaposed with the chorus, where bombs in the sky scream "hallelujah" and shrapnel rains down. The artist invites listeners to drink with them and sing if they're ready to die, contradicting the seemingly progressive tone of the second verse.

Overall, J.E.L.L.i.'s "Happy New Year" is a complex song that talks about the different emotions and phases of life we go through. The lyrics are reflective and contradictory, mirroring the duality of human emotions and experiences.
