Kemesraan
Lagu Kemesraan adalah lagu yang populer di tahun 1988 dan dipopulerkan oleh Iwan Fals dan artis-artis Musica. Lagu ini ditulis dan dipopulerkan pertama kali oleh duo abang-adik Franky & Jane Sahilatua. Akan tetapi, lagu ini tidak terlalu sukses. Iwan Fals dan Titiek Hamzah lalu membawakan lagi lagu ini tetapi lagi-lagi tidak populer. Barulah setelah dibawakan oleh artis-artis perusahaan rekaman Musica Studios lagu ini populer dan menjadi hits.
Sejak akhir tahun 80an, lagu ini menjadi lagu wajib di seluruh acara-acara kumpul-kumpul, dari mulai acara keluarga sampai acara kantor. Seusai acara, biasanya panitia menutup acara dengan kata-kata penutup, lalu mengundang seluruh hadirin untuk menyanyikan bersama lagu Kemesraan. Bahkan, walaupun menyanyikan lagu ini tidak ada dalam rangkaian program, ada-ada saja orang yang memulai bernyanyi yang serta merta disambut oleh seluruh peserta acara.
Lagu Kemesraan bercerita tentang dua orang yang sedang menghabiskan waktu berdua di tepi pantai, bersenandung diiringi gitar sambil menikmati keindahan alam. Di bagian refren, mereka menyanyikan harapan mereka untuk selalu bisa mengalami perasaan yang syahdu tersebut. Kemesraan ini janganlah cepat berakhir, demikian bunyi liriknya. Memanglah tepat lagu ini dibawakan dalam acara kumpul-kumpul persis sebelum peserta pulang ke rumah masing-masing.
Melodi yang sederhana dan lirik yang mudah diingat membuat lagu Kemesraan bisa dengan cepat dikuasai oleh hampir semua orang. Biasanya orang membawakan lagu ini dengan iringan satu gitar. Pengamen juga suka membawakan lagu yang menyentuh ini.
Sampai sekarang lagu ini masih sering dinyanyikan di acara kumpul-kumpul, terutama yang pesertanya pernah mengalami masa jaya lagu ini. Pelajar SMA dan mahasiswa angkatan 2000 bisa dipastikan tidak terlalu mengapresiasi lagu ini, kecuali mungkin kalau lagu ini sering diputar oleh orang tuanya di rumah.

Kemesraan
Kemesraan, or "Intimacy," is a very popular song in 1988 which was popularized by Iwan Fals and Musica Records artists. The song was written and sung for the first time by sibling duo Franky & Jane Sahilatua. However, the song was not commercially succesful. Iwan Fals and Titiek Hamzah were next to sing this song, again with no avail. Only after being sung by various artists from Musica Records, including Iwan Fals, did the song become a big hit.
Ever since, this song has become an anthem of all sorts of gathering events, from family gatherings to office meetings. At the end of an event, usually the organizer closes with a word or two and then invites all participants to sing Kemesraan. Even if such a sing-along is not in the program, there is always someone who starts singing and all participants will heartily welcome the invitation.
Kemesraan tells about two people who are spending time together on the shore, singing and playing a guitar, while enjoying the serenity of the scenery. In the chorus, they sing about their hopes to always be able to feel the tranquil feeling. "Intimacy, please don't end so soon," they say. Indeed, the song is befitting to be sung at the end of a fun gathering before everybody leaves for home.
The simple melody and memorable lyrics makes this song easy to sing by almost everybody. Usually people sing this song with a guitar accompaniment. Singing beggars also love to play this moving piece.
Until now, the song is still sung at gathering events, especially the ones attended by those who experienced the song's glorious time. High school and college students from the class of 2000 may n [...]
