1. Green Day - Amy
This song is a tribute for England born singer - Amy Winehouse. Amy who is an alcohol addict passed away because of alcohol over-doze in her blood. He was found dead in July 23, 2011. It's still fresh in our memory how her mega hits "I'm No Good" rocketed the chart in UK. Her unique style caught up public attention undoubtedly. Unfortunately, that was the minus part of her performance since it came out as result of alcohol influence in her blood and brain - says critiques.

2. Charlie Puth dan Wiz Khalifa - See You Again

3. The Script - If You Could See Me Now

4. Avenged Seven Fold - So Far Away

The Rev found unbreathing in his house in December 28, 2009. The autopsi performed few days after showed that combination of some drugs found in his blood system- including ethanol, were responsible for his dead.


5. Elton John - Candle in The Wind
The 90's generations barely know who Lady Dianna is. She was Prince Charles wife. They married in 1984 dan many had said that it was the biggest wedding ceremony in the 19th century. At that time, every woman was dreaming to be the lady. But, in the end, tragic story struck her life after she divorced with Prince Charles. The princess passed away in a brutal car accident in Paris, in August 31, 2007.
Later on, Sir Elton John sang "Candle in The Wind" in her "farewell ceremony". Candle in the wind is an old song. And to relate the song to Lady Di, Elton John changed few words in the song.

6. Puff Daddy and Faith Evans - I'll Be Missing You

Tantri sedang cuti dari kegiatan kegiatan Kotak. Posisinya sementara "digantikan" Kikan - eks vokalis Coklat.

Pare


Tantri

Kotak - Sendiri

Band : Kotak
Lirik : Sendiri

Berjalan sendiri di sini
Renungi cinta kita yg telah mati
Terlintas bayanganmu saat masih bersama
Pedihnya kusadari kau bukan milikku lagi

Mencoba untuk ku mengerti
Arti cinta yang telah kau beri
Diriku yg percaya semua dustamu
Kini ku mampu berkata
Kau pergi saja dariku

Aku terus bertahan
ku coba untuk lupakan
semua beban di hati
ku jatuh terhempas

Tak sanggup ku lalui
jiwa ini tlah terluka
kekosongan yg ada
melingkupi raga diriku

Mencoba untuk ku mengerti
Arti cinta yang telah kau beri
Diriku yg percaya semua dustamu
Kini ku mampu berkata
Kau pergi saja dariku

Aku terus bertahan
ku coba untuk lupakan
semua beban di hati
ku jatuh terhempas

Tak sanggup ku lalui
jiwa ini tlah terluka
kekosongan yg ada
melingkupi raga diriku

Raga diriku raga diriku

Sebagi penutup, kita tengok lagi puisi Soe Hok Gie tentang mati muda.
