Reflecting on My Life Recently Through the Word 'Light'

 Recently, I found myself drawn to songs that keep bringing me back to the word ‘light’.

The first one is ‘Masih Ada Cahaya’ by Idgitaf. The moment I listened to this song, I felt deeply connected to it — it resonates with my life so much. It reminds me that I can still find the light even in the cloudiest seasons of my life and helps me realize things I often overlook in my darkest moments. I love both the atmosphere of the music and the lyrics because they carry such deep emotions.

Another one is ‘Makhluk Cahaya’, one of the newest songs by The Overtunes featuring Nadin Amizah. It shows me the strength of how supportive human beings can be, even with all of their own vulnerabilities. No matter how difficult life becomes, I believe we can still spread kindness and warmth to one another. I fell in love with this song the first time I listened to it and immediately admired it because it’s catchy and easy to sing along to, yet its message feels incredibly meaningful.

The last one is ‘There Is a Light That Never Goes Out’ by The Smiths. Every time I hear it, it takes me back to different chapters of my life while giving me a sense of healing at the same time. Even though I can’t relate to it as a romantic love song, I think it resonates with many parts of life. To me, it reminds me of the people who make me feel so comfortable that I never want the moment to end whenever I’m with them.

Looking back, it’s interesting how one simple word — ‘light’ — can hold such a deep emotional meaning. It reminds me that even when my life feels surrounded by darkness, there will always be a light somewhere — someday.
