        "content": "<p>Jakarta (ANTARA) - Musician Marcell Siahaan has released his second\nreligious single entitled \u2018Menuju Cahaya\u2019, which depicts the inner\njourney of humans letting go of ego and learning to be humble.<\/p>\n<p>The song describes the moment when humans stop feeling like the\ncentre of everything and begin to move towards something greater than\nthemselves.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe purification of the self is a process that should be celebrated\nby anyone, anywhere and at any time,\u201d said Marcell in a press release on\nThursday.<\/p>\n<p>He also shared that the concept of Tazkiyatun Nafs is the main\ninspiration for his latest work.<\/p>\n<p>The concept, which describes the purification of the soul, is in line\nwith the message in the Quran in Surah Asy-Syams (91) verses 9-10 and\nSurah Al-A\u2019la (87) verse 14, which both state that true success does not\ncome from external recognition, but from the courage to cleanse the\ninner self.<\/p>\n<p>The meaning of \u201cLight\u201d in this song is not interpreted as a symbol of\npersonal success or instant enlightenment, but rather explains the goal,\nas something to be approached, not owned.<\/p>\n<p>The interpretation is inspired by the depiction of Divine Light in\nSurah An-Nur verse 35, so that the lyrics do not highlight the ego, but\nemphasize the process of taking a journey.<\/p>\n<p>From a musical point of view, the singer of \u201cTakkan Terganti\u201d took a\nminimalist and repetitive approach.<\/p>\n<p>Electronic nuances were deliberately added by Marcell to give a new\ntouch to his work, but he promised that it would not eliminate his\nmusical characteristics.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI deliberately created this song with a slightly different\narrangement, of course without losing its essence, in the hope that this\nsong can attract more listeners from various wider and more diverse\nsegments, and whoever they are can interpret the music and lyrics of\nthis song without having to wait for certain moments,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The religious single \u201cMenuju Cahaya\u201d by Marcell Siahaan has been\nreleased and is now available on various digital streaming platforms in\nIndonesia.<\/p>",
