1. Italo disco act from mid-80s by Ubaldo Zambelli
2. Reaching all the way back to Bob Dylan and the Band's pioneering blend of mythic Americana and shaggy rock & roll, alongside more recent points of comparison like Built to Spill, Modest Mouse, and My Morning Jacket, Roy (a band, not a dude) blend spiky post-Pavement indie rock with folk and country influences for a sound that's connected to the musical past but not beholden to it. For over a decade, singer and guitarist Brian Cook and drummer Dave Verellen were the mainstays of Botch, a Seattle post-hardcore act specializing in heavy riffs and showy time-signature shifts. Roy began as a side project in 2002, bringing Cook and Verellen together with singer and guitarist Ben Verellen and bassist Mike Cooper. Naming themselves after the small rural town near Tacoma, Roy debuted with 2003's Tacomatose EP, followed by 2004's Big City Sin and Small Town Redemption. Though Roy toured extensively behind their two records, the band went on a temporary hiatus while Cook and Ben Verellen turned their focus to another side project, the more Botch-like heavy math rockers These Arms Are Snakes. Roy reconvened in 2005 to write and record their second full-length album, Killed John Train, which was released by Lujo Records in the spring of 2006.
3. A Vocaloid metal producer who uses Gackpoid

Siapa dia sebelum daku
Gadis kau puja hingga kecewa
Kini kau tak menyatakan
Aku pun jua sering tertanya
Siapa dia sebelum daku
Pria kau puja hingga merana
Sejak kau wujud dalam hidupku
Semuanya telah terpadam
Bak bayangan yang indah
Di malam purnama
Ditelan mentari pagi
Apa disentuh sejarah dulu
Hanya menyakit hati sendiri
Telah ditemukan kita berdua
Engkaulah sinar hidupku
Aku pun jua sering tertanya
Siapa dia sebelum daku
Pria kau puja hingga merana
Kau merahsiakan dariku
Sejak kau wujud dalam hidupku
Semuanya telah terpadam
Bak bayangan yang indah
Di malam purnama
Ditelan mentari pagi
Apa disentuh sejarah dulu
Hanya menyakit hati sendiri
Telah ditemukan kita berdua
Engkaulah sinar
Engkaulah pelita
Engkaulah sinar
Hidupku
The lyrics of Roy & Fran's song "Siapa Dia Sebelum Daku" delve into the insecurities and doubts of a person in a relationship who constantly wonders about their partner's past. The singer, who is deeply in love, obsesses over their partner's previous lover and tries to figure out who they were, insisting that knowing the truth will bring closure and end their insecurities. The lyrics also suggest that the partner had been hurt in the past by a previous lover, which had caused them to keep their feelings and emotions hidden from the singer. The chorus repeatedly emphasizes the importance of the present partner in the singer's life, suggesting that despite their insecurities, they are grateful and content with their current relationship.
The song's lyrics touch on the universal theme of jealousy, insecurity, and the desire for validation in a relationship. The lyrics are introspective and heartfelt, and offer a poignant portrait of the internal struggles that some people face when in a romantic relationship. These struggles are just as relatable today as they were when the song was first released.

Aku selalu memikirkannya
I always think about it
Siapa dia sebelum daku
Who was he before me
Gadis kau puja hingga kecewa
The girl you adored until she was disappointed
Kini kau tak menyatakan
Now you don't declare it
Aku pun jua sering tertanya
I also often wonder
Pria kau puja hingga merana
The man you adored until he was miserable
Kau merahsiakan dariku
You hide it from me
Sejak kau wujud dalam hidupku
Since you existed in my life
Semuanya telah terpadam
Everything has been extinguished
Bak bayangan yang indah
Like a beautiful shadow
Di malam purnama
In the full moon night
Ditelan mentari pagi
Swallowed by the morning sun
Apa disentuh sejarah dulu
What touched the past
Hanya menyakit hati sendiri
Only hurts oneself
Telah ditemukan kita berdua
We have been found together
Engkaulah sinar hidupku
You are the light of my life
Engkaulah pelita
You are the lamp
Engkaulah sinar
You are the light
Hidupku
Of my life
