Though the band has always been active in the indie music scene, in 2004 they signed a contract with Sony-BMG, a major label. Navicula released their 4th album, Alkemis, with Sony-BMG. But, in 2007 they released their 5th album, Beautiful Rebel, independently and returned to following their ideals through the indie music scene. In 2009 Navicula released a 6th album “Salto”, and they are now working on their 7th full-length studio album (release date still to be announced). Navicula is based in Bali, but continue to keep up a national profile.
Navicula’s music is strongly influenced by alternative 90’s rock, especially grunge rock/Seattle sound, through bands such as Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, and Nirvana. But what makes their music so unique is their condition of beginning in the melting pot of modern Bali and having the opportunity to mold their creativity out of contrasts so extreme. From the spiritual mountains of Bali’s ancient kingdoms, to passion driven international artists who have come to find inspiration in Bali, and the raw punk rockers of down-town Kuta, this band finds their own taste through it all, the taste of ‘golden green grunge’, the taste of Navicula.
Navicula “the Green Grunge Gentlemen”
Navicula are known as “the Green Grunge Gentlemen”. Since the formation of the band back in the 90’s, environmental and social issues have been a consistent theme in Navicula’s music. Living in Bali, the band often finds inspiration in nature, and seeing the environmental changes happening in Bali and the world, this inspires many of the topics of their songs.
Navicula continues to support social and environmental campaigns in Indonesia and around the world. Following are some of their most recent Social/Eco-Actions:
2010: Navicula was chosen as official spokesperson for Live Earth Bali 2010. Live Earth is an International Organization founded by Emmy-winning producer Kevin Wall, in partnership with former U.S. Vice President Al Gore. Live Earth seeks to leverage the power of entertainment through integrated events, media and the live experience to ignite a global movement aimed at solving the most critical environmental issues of our time.
2009: Navicula contributed the song “Mafia Medis” to Prita Muliyasari’s fight for medical justice and freedom of speech. The song was offered for free download on the band’s website, encouraging fans to listen to the song for free and then as payment donate directly to Prita’s cause (Koin untuk Prita).
2008: Navicula was featured on a national compilation album founded by LIPI to raise Disaster Awareness. Robi (vocalist of Navicula) along with Pepeng (drummer of Jakarta band Naif) we’re chosen as the spokespersons of the program and participated in giving trainings to communities in disaster prone areas of Indonesia, including Irian Jaya, Yogyakarta, and Bali.
2007 Navicula was awarded Environmental Ambassadors of Bali by the local government.
Navicula also is active as a performer, supporter, speaker, producer, as well as event organizer for many fundraisers, educational and art campaigns, social work, and sub-culture events.
Love Bomb
Navicula Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We'll start today
We'll change the world
We'll start today
We'll build a love bomb
to blow the end away
We'll build a love bomb
We'll change the world
We'll start today
We'll take the fast lane
Together all the way
We'll build a love bomb
to blow the end away
I'll dare to care
and to always be there
Love to live and live to love
We'll take the fast lane
We'll start today
We'll change the world
Together all the way
Love to live and live to love
I'll burn inside you
with bombs of love
I'll burn inside you
with bombs of love
The world is burning
with bombs of love
The world is burning
with bombs of love
Love to live and live to love
Navicula's song Love Bomb is about creating an explosion of love to change the world for the better. The lyrics describe a sense of urgency to start making positive changes today, as we cannot afford to wait any longer. The repetition of the phrase "We'll change the world, we'll start today" emphasizes the determination to create a better future. The lyrics also acknowledge that change may not be easy and might require taking risks, but ultimately it will be worth it. "We'll take the fast lane" implies that they are willing to do whatever it takes to make this happen.
The idea of a "love bomb" is not a literal explosive, but rather an explosion of love and positivity to counteract the negativity and destruction that exists in the world today. The repetition of the phrase "We'll build a love bomb, to blow the end away" emphasizes that this is not just a temporary solution, but a way to completely eradicate the negativity and create a better future for all.
When the lyrics say "I'll burn inside you with bombs of love", it is emphasizing that this positivity is not just for the outside world, but it starts with the individual. It's about creating a positive change within ourselves that will then radiate outwards to those around us, creating a chain reaction of love and kindness.
Overall, the song is a call to action for individuals to take responsibility for the world they want to live in and to start making changes today. It emphasizes the power of love to create positive change and the importance of starting with oneself to create a better future for all.

Mantaps Navicula luar biasa... Musiknya Seatle Sound di era '90an... Maju terus berkarya... Lagu "Ingin Kau Datang" mengingatkan "1979" The Smashing Pumpkin dan Lagu "Sail On" mengingatkanku Ed Vedder Pearl Jam...
