Poppies Lane Memory

Saat ku berlindung dalam pelukan Mira
Langsung ku kenal Dissa

Hampir ku tenggelam, aneh senyum tawanya
Juga ku kenal, hey, Corrine

Baru terpesona, liar sinar matanya
Tambah ku kenal Petty

Lagi ku terbuai dalam kisah khayalnya
Aku tak sadarkan diri

Aku dibawa terbang ke alam mereka
Aku dibawa rebah di rumput hijau
Dalam imaji lima dimensi
Ku cumbu

Joy…

Bimbim, drummer and co-founder of Slank, once mentioned that Poppies Lane Memory was first written in 1993 but only released in 1998 as part of the band’s seventh album, Tujuh. The song name drops five imaginary figures, each alluding to hard liquor, drugs and / or psychotropics.

Through their official YouTube channel, the band have released a live performance of the song, the uncensored one, at the Hard Rock Cafe Jakarta on 22 March 2021 (originally recorded in 2010). “So if you want to know who (Dissa), Petty, Corrine, Mira, and Joy are, listen to the recording at the Hard Rock Cafe,” Bimbim said.

Tujuh was released 25 years ago.
