2) House and electronica duo from Auckland, New Zealand.
New Zealand’s Green Grass Recordings welcomes Monkey Boots, a mysterious production duo based in Auckland creating swirling, dramatic disco-inspired house business. This debut single from the combo features a pair of brilliant cuts that fits fabulously in a post-nu-disco world, building snakey, mid-tempo house rhythms under layers of cosmic melody. “Hold Back The Night” uses a chiming guitar loop that’s manipulated to accentuate three sections of the evolving groove. Strong vocal snippets and echoing treatments herald the arrival of a Moog-style bass line that drives the track into peak time territory. Bouncing bongos hold on to the momentum until string stabs punctuate the final hypnotic phase. “Whitworth Strut” was inspired in part by the sounds of the Manchester indie-dance revolution of the late 1980s. It’s based around a lolloping groove tailor-made for those who want to get a swagger on as shiny arpeggiations and a filtered, anthemic synth riff roll over a simple vocal refrain. An ever-building wall of strings, a blunted Rhodes, and a tremelo guitar add to the remarkable concoction. Monkey vibes are definitely in the area.

Nada
Monkey Boots Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Kamulah nada indah, Di dalam hidupku
lengkapi bahagia, Di setiap hariku
Walau besar nanti, kau tetap peri kecilku
Jangan takut melangkah, Nak aku di samping mu

Mungkin saja mendung, Yang kan temani harimu
Atau mungkin jalan tajam, Di bawah kaki mu
Biar tak selembut pelukan ibumu

Jujurlah melangkah, jalani takdirmu

Saat malam menjelang, Pulanglah ke rumah
Saat pagi datang, Banyaklah berdoa
Saat jatuh nanti, Kembali lah tegak berdiri
Dan nyanyikan lagi lagu ini, Melangkah lah kembali

Mungkin saja mendung, Yang kan temani harimu
Atau mungkin jalan tajam, Di bawah kaki mu
Biar tak selembut pelukan ibumu
Jujurlah melangkah, jalani takdirmu

Saat malam menjelang, Pulanglah ke rumah
Saat pagi datang, Banyaklah berdoa

Saat jatuh nanti, Kembali lah tegak berdiri
Dan nyanyikan lagi lagu ini, Melangkah lah kembali

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Monkey Boots's song Nada speaks about a beautiful presence in the singer's life that completes their happiness every day. The "nada indah" (beautiful presence) is noted to be small or "peri kecilku" but remains a constant companion in their journey through life. The singer encourages the presence to not be afraid to take steps alongside them, even when faced with difficult or unfamiliar situations like cloudy skies or rough paths. They urge the presence to be honest in living out their destiny or "jalani takdirmu" and to return to this song and their strength when they fall or stumble.

The singer provides guidance for the presence as well- suggesting that they come home when night falls, that they pray when morning comes, and that they get back up and start walking again when they fall. The lyrics present a reassuring message, telling the listener that they are not alone and that they can find strength and comfort in this song and in their faith. The upbeat melody and simple repetition of the refrain add to the song's cheerful and encouraging tone.
