Originally named Alphalpha which they took from a character in “little rascals” (alfalfa), Herald and Yudish formed this group as an acoustic and electric guitar duo to create a semi-ambient storytelling music and sings with whimsical lyrics with the sound from the children toys, and they came up with three demo songs, they had a couple gigs in Jakarta and Bandung. And then they decided to save the songs for the later of their career as a duo.
Yudish and Herald asked Tercitra to take part in their new interest in post-rock music. Yudish was playing the drums. They made three songs after a few Jam. Still using the name alphalpha the trio has played some small gigs in Jakarta,Bandung and Yogyakarta.
In 2008 Yudish and Herald met Ildo in a gig in Bandung, who previously helped them to record their first two demo songs. Ildo decided to join the band as a drummer soon after he came back from Germany a half year later, Yudish moved to play the bass and changed the band’s name into L’alphalpha and became a quartet. They were trying to record and make their first EP, but didn’t make it because of financial problems.
To enrich L’alphalpha’s music Ildo asked two of his high school friends Byatriasa and Irma to join the band in 2009. Because they wanted to make the music more Cinematic and Majestic like the Icelandic music which are their major influences at that time. And soon after they played numerous gigs as a six piece band and gathers wider attention from the people and other bands.
L’alphalpha Began working their debut album in the mid 2010, continuing their unreleased EP at Black Studio, Jakarta. And in February 2011 they self released their debut album entitled “When We Awake , All Dreams Are Gone”.
Future Days
L'Alphalpha Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can you tell me? Where will we be in our future?
We always have the questions But we don't really know what's the answer We will always wonder When was our life truly starts
There are so many ways to reach our future days (and someday we'll understand)
The lyrics in L'Alphalpha's song "Future Days" explore the existential questions that we all have about the nature of life and its purpose. The song highlights the human tendency to wonder about our existence, to question what we know, and yearn for answers to the mysteries of life. The opening lines, "We always have the questions / About everything" convey the songwriter's awareness of the unrelenting curiosity that plagues us. Despite this, we are left with an enduring sense of uncertainty and ignorance. The song poses the question, "Can you tell me? / Where will we be in our future?" but the answer remains elusive.
The line "When was our life truly starts" brings to mind the age-old debate about the origin of life and what truly constitutes "life." We are left with more questions than answers. The last line of the chorus, "There are so many ways to reach our future days (and someday we'll understand)" suggests that while we may not have the answers we desire at this moment, one day we may come to a realization. However, this suggestion is tempered by uncertainty, with the use of "may" suggesting that it is still possible that we may never truly comprehend the mysteries of life.

Has been many years I saw this band in youtube since my bro in Jakarta introduced about your music style, but the viewer still below than 100K. A little bit surprise for me.
I'm not in the right position to criticize your music senses and performances anyway. Frankly speaking, I love the 'tictac' rhythmic of your drum-percussion, remembering me to Phil Collins, Steve Gad, Chester Thompson, Bill Bruford and Carl Palmer. In Indonesia, I have ever heard from Protonema 2-3 decade ago.
Since your music sound and falsetto voices are not totally new in the global music (sound like Snow Patrol, Keane, Stone Roses, Muse, Kings of Leon, Thirteen Senses, Temper Trap, Cold Play, etc....and Indonesian's Nidji as one of that), it may be you ultimately need the expert person (especially a mixer/ sound engineer) to touch up the sound of your music sense for commercial issues ? You need however to offer with some kind of 'different' is as 'fresh bit' to the world for accepting you in the next level.... Selamat! Wish u Luck.
