Balada si Tua “Julius Sitanggang” Kenyataan Hidup

Do you know Julius Sitanggang? I have heard his songs in 90s, even though it released in 80s..
When I heard these songs, I’ve already teens, called it ABG, in junior school class 6. At that time, I found one old cassette of Julius Sitanggang, no cover, just the cassette. I played it and the song really inspired me.. and I found myself followed the melody, and after that day I always played it over and over again ’till the cassette got exhausted and made noise sound.. (I always make my favorite cassette suffer like this. Hahaha…)
I really like his songs of Balada si Tua and Kenyataan Hidup.
Balada si Tua and Kenyataan Hidup told me about the real story of the poor. I terribly feel sorry for them, and I had hoped the song can have a happy ending (hmm.. pure kid huh..)
Not only feel sorry, but also sad.. I had father and mother, brothers and sisters. I wasn’t rich, but not also poor. And still there are people like in this song.. It’s contradiction!!
I learned from the song, but what can children song teach nowadays?
