    [Verse 1]
    Saturday sunset, we’re lying on my bed with five hours to go
    Fingers entwined and so were our minds crying, “I don’t want you to go”
    You wiped away tears but not fears under the still and clear indigo
    You said, “Baby don’t cry, we’ll be fine, you’re the one thing I swear I can’t outgrow”
    [Verse 2]
    My mother said the younger me was a ‘Pretending’ prodigy well nothing, then, much has changed
    Cause while you’re wolfing down liquor, my soul it gets sicker, but I’m stickin' to the screenplay, gotta say I’m okay,
    but answer this babe:
    How is it now that somehow you’re a stranger?
    You were mine just yesterday
    I pray the block in my airway dissipates and instead deters your airplane’s way
    [Pre-Chorus 1]
    But heaven denied
    Destiny decried
    Something beautiful died too soon
    [Chorus]
    But I’m letting go
    I’m giving up the ghost
    But don’t get me wrong,
    I’ll always love you, that’s why I wrote you this very last song
    I guess this is where we say goodbye
    I know I’ll be alright
    Someday I’ll be fine,
    but just not tonight
    [Verse 3]
    Plunging into all kinds of diversions like blush wine and sonorous soirées
    But even with gin and surgin’ adrenaline, I see you’re all that can intoxicate
    Oceans and engines, you’re skilled at infringing on great love affairs
    Cause now my heart’s home, all I’ve known, is long gone and ten thousand miles away
    [Pre-Chorus 2]
    And I’m not okay
    [Chorus]
    But I’m letting go
    I’m giving up the ghost
    But don’t get me wrong
    I’ll always love you, that’s why I wrote you this very last song
    I guess this is where we say goodbye
    I know I’ll be alright
    But just not -
    [Bridge]
    Tonight was the first time I stared into seas of beguiling sepia two years ago
    And the first time I learned real world superpowers lived in three words, they revitalized my fraying bones, oh
    Now what do you do when your pillar crumbled down, you’ve lost all solid ground, both dreams and demons drowned, and this void’s all you’ve found and doubts light it aglow?
    I have so many questions
    But I’m pouring them into the ocean and I’m starting up my engine
    [Chorus]
    And I’m letting go
    I’m giving up your ghost
    It’s come to a close
    I marked the end with this last song I wrote
    I’m letting go
    This is the last falsetto
    I’ll ever sing to you my great, lost love

    Me and my boyfriend both fell out of love tonight. No cheating and no drama involved. We really thought we had it and we tried to save what’s left but we just can’t force it anymore. We were both lost and can’t seem to find each other. When realization hits you, you don’t want to accept it and still want to believe that the magic is still there even when it’s not. We’ll miss each other’s warmth, we’ll miss our awful dancing in the kitchen, and we’ll miss the laughters shared. These places won’t look and feel the same without him. And here I am staring at my front door knowing that he will never come to those doors anymore. We fell in love, we fell short, and we fell out. And I think that’s the saddest kind of heartache. He was my great lost love. Until then, my once home

    It's weird but this was my farewell song with Seattle. It was my last day and I wasn't 100% ready for my flight back home the next morning. I watched planes flying over to land at Seatac from the rooftop of UW's ATG building, just in time for a violet sunset. It was really blissful. I had this song playing on repeat because the lyrics just happened to resonate. It still feels like yesterday.. thank you Niki for such a beautiful and powerful song :")

    I totally experienced the story in this song. It is so deep hitting my heart. That person who was with me all the time, enjoying the sweet life during the tough school year. But as NIKI said, the beautiful love story died too soon. It was so heart breaking when we suddenly just became a stranger in a night. I felt like I lost my pillars too. Even until I left on the very last day, that person never came back and say goodbye. I guess it's just not my destiny to be with that one. I'll always love you, J, and I hope you knew that I loved you harder.

The guitar just absolutely mesmerizes me and the lyrics where she's lying in bed singing "This is the last falsetto I'll ever sing to you my great, lost love." Just hits the spot to my soul. Nicole Zefanya you never disappoint!!! Thank you for releasing this masterpiece years later.

    I remember vividly how I felt when I first heard this song a couple of years back. My understanding then was very shallow compared to my views now.
    I recall knowing that this song is for the love we can't have because of whatever reasons. But now, there are certain things that are sticking out to me more.
    Letting go is not just about dropping what no longer makes you happy, sometimes, it's also about still feeling the warmth of their hand holding onto yours when a cold breeze brush your skin but now, you have your gloves and scarf to keep you from freezing.
    Letting go is not just about seeking freedom from the shackles of the past, it's also about looking back at pictures and smiling at the moments taken and still have the courage to try and be there again because you realize now that a place is just a place and not a home of their memories.
    Letting go is not just about accepting the fate of the love that once burned bright, it's also about seeing things even in dim lighting and know that sometimes, not getting a closure is the closure we so eagerly want to have.
    Letting go is not just about getting rid of them physically, mentally, and emotionally. More often than not, it's about trusting that one day, their kisses will no longer linger on your skin, that the words they once uttered will no longer haunt you in your dreams, and that the feelings they made you feel will no longer hold you back from going after what is truly for you.

I am SO SURPRISED my fellow Niki fan friend suddenly talked abt oceans and engines today. I was like "HOLD UP she re-released this song?! UNDER NIKI?" And I'm so so so glad and proud, finally more people can appreciate the natural musical prodigy that she is that is evident from her older works until now.

    Lyrics
    Saturday sunset
    We're lying on my bed with five hours to go
    Fingers entwined and so were our minds
    Crying, I don't want you to go
    You wiped away tears
    But not fears under the still and clear indigo
    You said "Baby, don't cry, we'll be fine"
    "You're the one thing I swear I can't outgrow"
    My mother said the younger me was a pretending prodigy
    Well, nothing then much has changed
    'Cause while you're wolfing down liquor
    My soul, it gets sicker
    But I'm sticking to the screenplay
    Gotta say I'm okay
    But answer this, babe
    How is it now that somehow you're a stranger?
    You were mine just yesterday
    I prayed the block in my airway dissipates
    And instead deters your airplane's way
    But heaven denied
    Destiny decried
    Something beautiful died
    Too soon
    But I'm letting go
    I'm giving up the ghost
    But don't get me wrong
    I'll always love you that's why I wrote you this very last song
    I guess this is where we say goodbye
    I know I'll be alright
    Someday I'll be fine
    But just not tonight (Oh)
    Plunging into all kinds of diversions
    Like blush wine and sonorous soirées
    But even with gin and surgin' adrenaline
    I see you're all that can intoxicate
    Oceans and engines
    You're skilled at infringin' on great love affairs
    'Cause now my heart's home
    All I've known is long gone and ten thousand miles away
    And I'm not okay
    But I'm letting go
    I'm givin' up the ghost
    But don't get me wrong
    I'll always love you that's why I wrote you this very last song
    I guess this is where we say goodbye
    I know I'll be alright
    But just not
    Tonight was the first time I stared into seas of beguiling sepia two years ago
    And the first time I learned real world superpowers lived in three words and could revitalize my fraying bones (Hm)
    Now what do you do when your pillar crumbled down
    You've lost all solid ground
    Both dreams and demons drowned
    And this void's all you've found
    And doubts light it aglow
    I have so many questions
    But I'm pouring them into the ocean
    And I'm starting up my engine
    And I'm letting go
    I'm givin' up your ghost
    It's come to a close
    I marked the end with this last song I wrote
    I'm letting go
    This is the last falsetto I'll ever sing to you
    My great lost love.

    We wasn’t even in a relationship but it’s felt like a heart break, I don’t wanna use the term situation-ship but me and this one person had feeling for each other but I guess it wasn’t a lot on his end so we decided to be friend, few months later we decided to hang out as friend then eventually we grew feeling for each others again, he drove me home, hold my hands, trade me his jacket, being sweet to me next couple days. The same he realized he wasn’t ready to make commitment to anything else atm, and his feeling is not much compare to how much I had for him, he’s started to being cold toward me, myself saw that know it but still pretended I don’t know nothing and cried every night. His image is too big, and my feeling for him is no longer crushing or like but it’s turned into love and it’s hard to move on, it’s not a break up but it’s hurt like a break up, I don’t know what to do should I stay as friend, should I just risk it ! I don’t know where’s this gonna go, it’s just I like him so much

    This transported me back to the ugly days of losing my own "great lost love". Being heartbroken is just a very, very painful thing no matter how many years has passed since then. I often joked to my now-husband that I would never recover from losing a person I loved, and his answer is, "You're here now, and I'll stay with you". To anyone who is having their hearts broken, I'll say this: you will be fine. I don't know how or when, but you will learn to love again. Maybe with someone new, maybe with yourself, or both, but you will not suffer forever. I am a living proof of this truth. Sending love to y'all 🤍

    this song really hits me.. last year, i was close with this guy, never met him before and we knew each other by an online game. we talked every night, every day, and every session was fun, stress relieving and sometimes.. deep like it’s heart to heart talking.
    i never knew i will develop great feeling for him, and even fall for him, because in 2 months i will get married to my soulmate. yeah it was wrong, but i thought this feeling was pure and was just beautiful in its own way..
    and this song really speaks for me as to let go of his ghost.. coz i still can’t get over those times when we talked until morning, heart to heart, or just spend my time alone with him. somehow, i also wish we don’t meet and know each other.. but i’m pretty sure that moment i get to know him is simply just to make me a better person in its own way.. i’ll be alright someday, get over the feeling, and.. get back on the right path.
    i will always love him in deep down in my heart, in my own way.. but i should let go the feeling. it’s the best for me and for him but well.. it’s been a year and still this is fcking hard..

    My partner just broke up with me after the most intense fight we’ve had. He lives kilometers away from me and I couldn’t even kiss him goodbye even for a last time. This song holds a special place in my heart because I took a plane everytime I visited him. Every moment I had with him lives in my head on constant rewind. Each moment was fleeting but engraved in me.
    It’s so hard to look forward when the person you dreamed to share your dreams with just isn’t there tomorrow anymore. I don’t know how to function without the person who felt like I’ve known for most of my life. I know I’ll always have love for him and I’ll always be happy for him, even if I can’t contribute to his happiness anymore. I’ll admire and cheer him on even from a distance, starting now only from a distance. Please take care love.

    Lyrics;
    [Verse 1]
    Saturday sunset-- we’re lying on my bed with five hours to go
    Fingers entwined and so were our minds crying 'I don’t want you to go'
    You wiped away tears but not fears under the still and clear indigo
    You said, ‘Baby don’t cry, we’ll be fine, you’re the one thing I swear I can’t outgrow’
    [Verse 2]
    My mother said the younger me was a 'Pretending' prodigy well nothing, then, much has changed
    Coz while you’re wolfing down liquor, my soul it gets sicker, but I’m stickin' to the screenplay, gotta say I’m okay,
    but answer this babe:
    How is it now that somehow you’re a stranger; you were mine just yesterday-
    I prayed the block in my airway dissipates and instead deters your airplane’s way
    [Pre-Chorus 1]
    But heaven denied
    Destiny decried
    Something beautiful died
    too soon
    [Chorus]
    But I’m letting gooooooooo
    I’m givin’ up the ghost
    But don’t get me wrong
    I’ll always love you that’s why
    I wrote you this very last song
    I guess this is where we say goodbye
    I know I’ll be alright
    Someday I’ll be fine
    but just not tonight
    [Verse 3]
    Plunging into all kinds of diversions like blush wine and sonorous soirees
    But even with gin and surgin’ adrenaline I see you’re all that can intoxicate
    Oceans and Engines, you’re skilled at infringin' on great love affairs
    'cause now my heart’s home -- all I’ve known -- is long gone and 10 thousand miles away
    [Pre-Chorus 2]
    And I’m not okay
    [Chorus]
    But I’m letting gooooooooo
    I’m givin’ up the ghost
    But don’t get me wrong
    I’ll always love you and that’s why
    I wrote you this very last song
    I guess this is where we say goodbye
    I know I’ll be alright
    But just not-
    [Bridge]
    Tonight was the first time I stared into seas of beguiling sepia two years ago
    and the first time
    I learned real world superpowers lived in three words and could revitalize my frayin’ bones
    Now what do you do when
    Your pillar crumbled down, you’ve lost all solid ground, both dreams and demons drowned, and this void is all you’ve found and doubts light it aglow?
    I have so many questions
    But I’m pourin them into the ocean and I’m starting up my engine
    [Chorus]
    and I’m letting go
    I’m givin’ up your ghost
    It’s come to a close
    I marked the end with this last song I wrote
    [Outro]
    I’m letting go
    This is the last falsetto
    I’ll ever sing to you my great, lost love.

    The song begins with somewhat of a ring that is gradually getting louder but still in a soft way. Then, the intro starts with a strumming of the guitar and followed by NIKI’s singing calmly as if she invites people to listen to her heartbreaking story. Getting into the chorus, we can hear water dripping slowly, following the rhythm of the song. The song "Ocean and Engines" by NIKI is appreciated by listeners for its soothing melodies and heartfelt lyrics.
    Nicole, the songwriter, explains that she wrote this song in 2016 when she was 17 years old. It talks about a shattering heartbreak because she must separate with her first love seeing that he has to move far away overseas. The term “great lost love” shows that she had a wonderful and special relationship with her first love. Unfortunately, not all good things last. The relationship had to come to an end, and it was really heartbreaking.
    This song shows a heartbreaking feeling. It also shows the sense of a touching performance. Like NIKI's song, life's an ocean, and we're the engines pushing through each wave, staying strong and steady. The way NIKI sings every note so flawlessly compiling familiar words to convey both nostalgia and heartbreak. The rhythmic waves of emotion crash on the shores of the heart in NIKI's song "Ocean and engines," pushing the engines of reflection and realization into an ongoing journey of the endless depths within. Each element is carefully arranged to excite a sense of feeling and emotion that lasts even after the song ends.

    Love is a beautiful thing. No matter what. Having loved is better than to not love at all. I can’t believe that I’m slowly starting to heal. It scares me because once I’m fully healed that means I’ll be over it. And that’s sad. Because the 5 years of memories we made won’t mean anything anymore. Letting go, hurts. But it’s also healing. I don’t think I’ll ever forget this one guy I fell for about 5 years ago. I think I’ll always love him even if I’m over him. And that’s okay. I think our first love we will always remember. It paves the way to know what kind of love we want to receive, when you look back at all the mistakes that were made. And you wish you can do better, go back, and fix it, but you can’t. You can’t keep going back to what broke you. You need to feel your pain and let it strengthen you. Find beauty in your pain, find strength. See the upside of it and let it change you for the better. I can never regret loving him because I loved him with all I had. I wanna say I can’t take it back for the world because I know I definitely could have done better, but past is past and you gotta push forward. This life waits for no one. This is my time to shine, become who I’m meant to me, independently. I will always love him, but now I’m loving me more.

    Wow, everything about this is so well-done and well-executed! It’s always cool to see as an Asian artist, esp a fellow Indonesian, doing this type of thing because one would typically associate this particular sound or storytelling with a white (and preferably from the U.S.) artist. There’s a handful of other Indonesian acts with similar aesthetic (folk/acoustic vibes, performing in English) worth checking out: Stars & Rabbit, Oscar Lolang, Endah N Rhesa, Rendy Pandugo, Gabriela Fernandez and Adhitia Sofyan, among many others. Get to their stuff! There are so many great talents from Indonesia!

These songs also serve as an amazing inspiration for my own storys I am currently developing. Thank you once again Niki. You and your music truly are a diamond in the rough.

      @@yeji_ I haven't seen it yet. But I've heard good things will be looking forward to it. TOP GUN Maverick!! That's another movie this song reminds me of. While the movies of this year have been underwhelming, Top Gun Maverick and EEAO are also diamonds in the rough of cinema.

    [Verse 1: NIKI]
    Saturday Sunset
    We're Lying On My Bed With Five Hours To Go
    Fingers Entwined And So Were Our Minds
    Crying, "I Don't Want You To Go"
    You Wiped Away Tears
    But Not Fears Under The Still And Clear Indigo
    You Said "Baby, Don't Cry, We'll Be Fine
    You're The One Thing I Swear I Can't Outgrow"
    My Mother Said The Younger Me Was A Pretending Prodigy
    Well, Nothing Then, Much Has Changed
    'Cause While You're Wolfing Down Liquor
    My Soul, It Gets Sicker
    But I'm Sticking To The Screenplay
    Gotta Say I'm Okay
    But Answer This, Babe
    [Pre-Chorus: NIKI]
    How Is It Now That
    Somehow, You're A Strangеr?
    You Were Mine Just Yеsterday
    I Pray The Block In My Airway Dissipates
    And Instead Deters Your Airplane's Way
    But Heaven Denied
    Destiny Decried
    Something Beautiful Died
    Too Soon
    [Chorus: NIKI]
    But I'm Letting Go
    I'm Giving Up The Ghost
    But Don't Get Me Wrong
    I'll Always Love You
    That's Why I Wrote You This Very Last Song
    I Guess This Is Where We Say Goodbye
    I Know I'll Be Alright
    Someday, I'll Be Fine
    But Just Not Tonight (Oh!)
    [Verse 2: NIKI]
    Plunging Into All Kinds Of Diversions
    Like Blush Wine And Sonorous Soirées
    But Even With Gin And Surging Adrenaline
    I See You're All That Can Intoxicate
    [Pre-Chorus: NIKI]
    Oceans And Engines
    You're Skilled At Infringing On Great Love Affairs
    Cause Now My Heart's Home
    All I've Known Is Long Gone
    And Ten Thousand Miles Away
    And I'm Not Okay
    [Chorus: NIKI]
    But I'm Letting Go
    I'm Giving Up The Ghost
    But Don't Get Me Wrong
    I'll Always Love You That's
    Why I Wrote You This Very Last Song
    I Guess This Is Where We Say Goodbye
    I Know I'll Be Alright
    But Just Not
    [Bridge: NIKI]
    Tonight Was The First Time
    I Stared Into Seas Of Beguiling Sepia Two Years Ago
    And The First Time I Learned Real World Superpowers
    Lived In Three Words, They Revitalize My Fraying Bones
    Now What Do You Do When Your Pillar Crumbled Down
    You've Lost All Solid Ground
    Both Dreams And Demons Drowned
    And This Void's All You've Found
    And Doubts Light It Aglow
    I Have So Many Questions
    But I'm Pouring Them Into The Ocean
    And I'm Starting Up My Engine
    [Outro: NIKI]

    i did not expect to cry at this…. but its just so beautiful. the lyrics of the song tie so perfectly with music video, i feel for niki even though ive never been through a breakup. im so incredibly proud of niki and everything shes done. her way to create stories or write songs based on real life things is just magical and touching.

    Saturday sunset
    We're lying on my bed with five hours to go
    Fingers entwined and so were our minds
    Cryin', "I don't want you to go"
    You wiped away your tears
    But not fears under the still and clear indigo
    You said, "Baby, don't cry, we'll be fine
    You're the one thing I swear I can't outgrow"
    My mother said the younger me was a pretending prodigy
    Well, nothing then, much has changed
    'Cause while you're wolfin' down liquor
    My soul, it gets sicker
    But I'm stickin' to the screenplay
    Gotta say I'm okay, but answer this, babe
    How is it now that somehow you're a strangеr?
    You were mine just yеsterday
    I pray the block in my airway dissipates
    And instead deters your airplane's way
    But heaven denied
    Destiny decried
    Something beautiful died
    Too soon
    But I'm letting go
    I'm givin' up the ghost
    But don't get me wrong
    I'll always love you, that's why
    I wrote you this very last song
    I guess this is where we say goodbye
    I know I'll be alright
    Someday I'll be fine
    But just not tonight (ooh)
    Plungin' into all kinds of diversions
    Like blush wine and sonorous soirées
    But even with gin and surgin' adrenaline
    I see you're all that can intoxicate
    Oceans and engines
    You're skilled at infringin' on great love affairs
    'Cause now my heart's home
    All I've known is long gone and ten thousand miles away
    And I'm not okay
    But I'm letting go
    I'm giving up the ghost
    But don't get me wrong
    I'll always love you, that's why
    I wrote you this very last song
    I guess this is where we say goodbye
    I know I'll be alright
    But just not
    Tonight was the first time I stared into seas
    Of beguiling sepia two years ago
    And the first time I learned real world superpowers lived in three words
    They revitalize my fraying bones, oh
    Now what do you do when your pillar crumbled down
    You've lost all solid ground
    Both dreams and demons drowned
    And this void's all you've found
    And doubts light it aglow?
    I have so many questions
    But I'm pouring them into the ocean
    And I'm starting up my engine
    And I'm letting go
    I'm givin' up your ghost
    It's come to a close
    I marked the end with this last song I wrote
    I'm letting go
    This is the last falsetto
    I'll ever sing to you
    My great lost love

    The first time i heard this song I wanted to cry. Feels like this is our story. "Something beautiful died too soon" The love that we had for each other died too soon.
    "But I'm lettin' go, I'm givin' up the ghost" This is very hard but I am letting you go, I'm giving you up. There's no reason to fight for you if you are already happy with someone else.
    "I'll always love you, that's why I wrote you this very last song" I did wrote a song for you, I wrote letters for you, I even sketched you, I also wrote a story for you. I know I will still fall in love with someone else but you will always be my greatest love.
    "I guess this is where we say goodbye
    I know I'll be alright. Someday, I'll be fine. But just not tonight" How did we end up as strangers again? Everything was perfectly fine. I know I'll be alright maybe not right now but someday I will be. Thank you for all the years, thank you for letting me experience to be love by someone. And to love someone like you, it was a masterpiece.
