The first song of white shoes & The Couples Company was “Runaway Song” written by Sari & Rio. The next one was “Windu & Defrina”, followed by “Sunday Memory Lane” and “Nothing To Fear”.
The Band’s acquaintance with its current manager Indra Ameng was another story. Indra Ameng was then already a well-known manager. Previously he was the manager of an old famous band in the 1990’s called Rumahsakit. Nevertheless, White Shoes & The Couples Company and Indra Ameng did not meet in the world of music, but the world of visual art. This was because Indra Ameng happened to be a visual artist and a program coordinator in an artist initiative space called ruangrupa.
At the beginning, White Shoes & The Couples Company did not have a drummer. Thus, Ricky initiated to ask a friend at his faculty namely john Navid a.k.a Lau Kun Sin for position of additional drummer. However, as the time went by and according to necessities, John eventually became a permanent drummer in 2004. Thus, the final formation of White Shoes & The Couples Company was set up.
White Shoes & The Couples Company recorded their debut album comprising 11 songs under Aksara Records company. This Album, available in CD and cassette, was launched by Aksara Records and distribute by Universal Music Indonesia.

Bersandar
White Shoes & The Couples Company Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bersandar menusuk jiwa, menusuk jiwa ini
Berharap seribu kasih namun kini punahlah sudah
Bersandar menusuk jiwa, menusuk jiwa, menusuk jiwa
Berharap seribu kasih namun kini punahlah sudah
Bersandar menusuk jiwa, menusuk jiwa, menusuk jiwa
The lyrics of White Shoes & The Couples Company's song Bersandar are quite emotive and depict the pain of unrequited love. The repetition of the phrase "Bersandar menusuk jiwa" (leaning strains the soul) emphasizes the emotional weight that the singer carries as a result of their unfulfilled love. The second line, "Berharap seribu kasih namun kini punahlah sudah" (hoping for a thousand loves, but now they are all gone), further emphasizes the singer's sense of loss and disappointment.
In essence, the song is about a person who has put all their hopes and love into a relationship that has ended in heartbreak. The pain of rejection is excruciating and has left the singer feeling lost and alone. The lyrics convey a sense of longing and desire for the relationship that once was, but all that is left now is the pain of leaning and relying on something that is no more.
Overall, the song is a poignant depiction of the emotional turmoil that comes with unrequited love, and how the pain of a broken heart can leave a deep impact on our souls.
