Endeavor (feat. Emiri Kanou) Lyrics
Far horizons, wave of sounds
Rays of summer lightened eye
Love is a song that never ends
As I sing along to pa ra ra
あなたの傍にいたい
言葉より強く
I know
But I’ll be here without you
とどまることさえも
包んであげたい
I know
But I’ll be here tomorrow
Life is a rhyme that never ends
As I sing along to pa ra ra
あなたの傍にいたい
言葉より強く
I know
But I’ll be here without you
とどまることさえも
包んであげたい
I know
But I’ll be here tomorrow
about
Iris Bevy was formerly known as Ping Pong Club, an indie pop / electro pop group from the city known as the mecca of Indonesian indie music, Bandung. The band, which was formed in 2018, had been releasing their debute album ‘Retrospective’ along with several hit singles such as ‘Skylight’ and ‘She’s Your Trouble’, as well as touring to foreign countries such as India and Japan. After the leave of its former members, the band decided to regroup into a new face called as Iris Bevy, which name was inspired by the elegant and colorfully bloomed Iris flowers. The new formation now consists of four members, Riz, Shau, Satrio and Jeremy, where the four members represents the four philosophical meaning of the flowers, of wisdom, hope, trust and valor. As the flower starts to bloom colorfully, so as this new formation.
‘Endeavor’ synonymously defined as an attempt to achieve a certain goal. This tells the story of the band’s journey of love and hope, as well as the endeavor of moving forward regardless of the loss and transformation they needed to face. The song is heavily influenced by 80s synth pop and city pop, hence the original version of the song features a Japanese singer Emiri Kanou. The English version of the song was fully sung by Shau, one of the newest member of the group, which represents the beginning of the new formation's journey.
