Tyas Alfisa ft. Symptom - Everything's Changing [Artwork]


Balikpapan, Indonesia – Singer-songwriter Tyas Alfisa is set to release her latest single, “Everything’s Changing,” in June 2025, marking a bold new direction in her musical journey. The track is a collaboration with Aan — known by his artist name Symptom — a musician and producer based in Tarakan, Indonesia. The single is released under Bedroom Dweller Records, an independent label also based in Tarakan.

Known for her warm, introspective voice and gentle delivery, Tyas Alfisa explores a more daring and dynamic sound in “Everything’s Changing.” The song presents a contrast to her previous work, showcasing a bolder, braver energy while still retaining the emotional depth her listeners have come to love.

“I wanted to show a different side of my musical taste with this one,” says Tyas. “This collaboration with Aan allowed me to step outside of my comfort zone. I’m so grateful working with him and finally released this song after 7 years”

The track features lyrics written by Tyas Alfisa and CAS the Poet who also lends her voice to the song’s spoken-word part. Aan, who composed and produced the track, contributes vocals in the form of a powerful scream part — emphasizing the emotional intensity of the song.

With its unique blend of introspective lyricism and expressive instrumentation, “Everything’s Changing” is a sonic representation of transformation, both personal and artistic.

Release Date: June 2025
Label: Bedroom Dweller Records

342. Warkop Penentu Hidup

 'Warkop penentu hidup', julukan yang kuberikan secara singkat kepada salah satu warkop di seberang stasiun kereta api. Nama warkop itu aslinya adalah Warkop Sri Rejeki 88. Berada di pertigaan jalan menuju kampung warna warni. Lalu lintasnya ramai, terkadang suara kereta api yang tiba dan berangkat, dan cicitan peluit tukang parkir lalu tentu suara knalpot kendaraan. Hari ini aku mampir lagi, karena lalapan ikannya murah. Semenjak long trip, aku jadi jarang makan ikan laut. Padahal selama ini tumbuh besar setiap hari makan ikan sungai dan saat pindah ke Balikpapan, setiap hari makan ikan laut. 

Jadi, kenapa 'warkop penentu hidup'? Warkop ini adalah tempat singgahku saat aku trip dari Surabaya ke Malang. Di awal bulan Februari lalu, setelah check out dari guesthouse di daerah Sawojajar, aku mengalami dilemma yang cukup berat. Antara mengakhiri trip ini, kembali ke Balikpapan atau melanjutkan untuk bertahan dengan pegangan yang cukup untuk 1-2 bulan kedepan. 

Dengan keadaan ramai jalan, cocok dengan isi kepalaku yang membuat pening. Cukup lama aku duduk disana. Setelah sebelumnya mencoba melakukan panggilan ke salah satu teman baikku. "Satu bulan rasanya ngga akan terlalu lama yas, ini yang kamu mau selama ini kan?"

Sungguh tidak ada hal apapun yang mengurungkan niatku. Yang kulakukan hanyalah bepergian di ujung usia 30 ku. Tepat beberapa minggu sebelum ulang tahun ke 31, aku berangkat. Banyak yang kutanggalkan sebelumnya. Pikiran-pikiran, prioritasku ku ubah, bahkan menjual gitar akustik kesayangan dan handphone impian. Wajar kalau sesampainya disini.. aku merasa 'ringan' namun 'kosong'. Tapi kalau di lihat lagi, seharusnya yang kurasakan adalah 'lega' dan 'bebas'. 

Kalau diingat-ingat lagi, yang terjadi saat itu adalah hasil dari doa dan impianku selama ini. 'Solo trip'. Hahaha ternyata melakukannya terlambat juga nggak buruk buruk amat. Pasti ada jalan yang sudah disiapkan untukku sampai di titik itu. Tapi semua berawal sejak aku mengalami Pulsatile Tinnitus. Tahun lalu aku habiskan untuk pengobatan rutin, sudah banyak yang aku coba dan aku merasa semakin naik level. Semakin tau apa yang baik dan yang mempercepat kesembuhanku. Tepat Oktober 2024 aku berhenti pengobatan medis dan melanjutkan terapi personal dan trip tahun ini adalah salah satu terapiku. 

Setelah istirahat beberapa jam di warkop itu, aku menuju ke kos yang kupilih untuk stay selama 1 bulan. Itu adalah keputusan tepat, memulai semuanya lagi.

340. Mix Sate Ayam dan Kambing di Night Market Pasar Besar

Night market atau pasar malam di Pasar Besar adalah salah satu tempat yang lumayan ramai dikunjungi warga. setiap harinya. Mulai dari warga lokal atau pun bule dari berbagai negara. Yah, walaupun aku nggak tau asal mereka tapi setiap melewati atau mampir ke pasar malam ini, selalu ada bule bule juga. Mostly, orang akan berkunjung untuk kuliner dan permainan anak. Bagiku, lontong kupang akan selalu jadi pengingat karena itu adalah pertama kalinya aku mencoba lontong kupang. 17 ribu untuk 1 porsi dan mantap rasanya. Lalu ada cilok bakar, lumpur kentang, jasuke, dimsum, siomay-batagor, dan banyak lainnya. 

Dan lebaran haji kemarin, setelah isya' aku sempat keliling mencari sate kambing dari mulai sepanjang jalan dekat kost, lalu berbelok ke daerah stasiun Kota Lama, Alun-alun Kota, daerah Gajah Mada dan akhirnya ketemu di pasar malam itu juga. 

Persisnya malam kemarin, cukup ramai. Sepertinya setiap hari akan ramai orang berkunjung. Kebahagiaan sederhana bagi keluarga kecil ataupun yang masih single. Bebas. Kenapa sate kambing ? Biar ada vibes lebaran idul Adha nya gitu deh. Hehe.

"Bu sate kambingnya berapa 1 porsi?"

"25 ribu mba"

"Boleh campur nggak bu ayam sama kambing, masing-masing lima?"

"Boleh mba, ditunggu sebentar nggih"

Dengan logat dan bahasa Jawa warga lokal, aku seringnya hanya mengangguk dan senyum lalu membalas dengan bahasa Indonesia. Sebenarnya aku sudah paham beberapa kata bahasa Jawa, tapi belum terbiasa. Aku sempat menelusuri pasar ini sebelum makan sate di tempat. Ini mungkin ke-4 kalinya aku mampir di pasar ini. Aku yang terbiasa jalan lurus memandang ke depan, selama tahun 2025 ini mencoba untuk sadar sekitar dan memperhatikan apa yang ada di kanan dan kiri jalan. Jadi otakku akan terlatih lagi mengingat peristiwa atau vibes sekitar. 

Setelah berkeliling dan menyaksikan sekilas anak-anak dan orang tuanya bermain, lalu juga ada pasangan bule yang penasaran dengan lapak onde-onde yang baru saja aku beli, mereka tersenyum malu dan memutuskan untuk membeli juga, lagu aku kembali ke lapak sate tadi. 

"Bu nasinya kebanyakan"

Sate 10 tusuk akan selalu sangat mengenyangkan bagiku. Karna kalau di rumah biasanya, dibagi masing-masing 5 tusuk, itu menjadi kebiasaan. Jadi, mengurangi porsi nasi adalah tips biar nggak mubazir. Makan selesai, minumnya kali ini aku bawa tumbler air putih sendiri dari kost. Ini adalah hari ke 5 aku diet kafein dan dairy, mengulang hitungan kembali, untuk melihat progress metode Liam yang kuikuti untuk pengobatan Pulsatile Tinnitusku. Bulan Mei kemarin cukup bandel karena beberapa kali beli kopi dan teh.

Aku lalu berselancar sejenak di google untuk mencari toko aksesoris terdekat dan aku menemukan Malang Caroline, grosir aksesoris yang nggak jauh dari stasiun kota lama. Setengah jam menjelang tutup aku menyempatkan diri pergi kesana, tapi sayangnya nggak menemukan yang aku cari. Lalu, aku kembali lagi menembus sejuknya malam kota ini, beruntung sweater rajut hitamku bisa sangat baik menahan angin saat berkendara.

339. December & The New Perspective

This is me writing to my other self.

My circle is smaller now. As we getting older and older, no one care. No one care about us. The progress is always in silence. But when the results come up, yeah people/strangers will congratulate. It is funny and dumb. As we are getting older, expect less is better. It made days easier, right? So, do not expect a standing ovation. Nope! What i am doing lately is do what i want, action or silence, it is up to me. I've been losing many friends because yes, we're busy with our life but i do not want to share my problems when i see my friends again. Silence taught us much. But do you know ty? Your mind is soooo full and messy. This one person is like my twin. We are all have other sides, my sides. There is so many me in me. 

Am i always talking like this the whole my life? I don't wanna check it out right now. I can't believe it already 339th entries in here! I just want to update this side of me. She's writing right now, the positive version of myself, the optimistic, early bird, calm, motivated. 

So, what have motivated me recently? 

I've sold my acoustic guitar, it was a difficult decision, so now i have to use my electric guitar efficiently. And it's always my dream to upgrade my electric guitar skill, i've always talked about that but a little action. Now, i can focus on that first. I can't multitask. Seriously. Even in a relationship, i need my own space and my time alone. 

When i play my guitar, play the new songs on the internet, it's like it fills my heart, my body, it boosts me. I just realize it again now. So, my happiness will come up again with this thought. The point is talk and act. For me, i've been talked much with myself and the action sometimes happened just like that without many factors, i just did it. This is how my mind works. Like the subconscious. By the way, i will do 30 days guitar challenge in my instagram and youtube channel. To the future ty, i hope this will work for us.

338. Silenced Me

they silenced me again

many times

my thought has been skipped

by my people


my way is foggy and cold

not trying to be so dramatic

but the reality of life and a person's burdens are definitely different

if it happens continuously, it will shape you into another self


at the end of the day, I will still be alone

I don't need to beg just to have a good chat

to the person who has always been in my mind and heart

maybe I've just made the wrong choice all this time


but maybe that's my way so I'm like this now

I've had enough people silencing me, I can hear my own complaints

or some people or this one person, that's more than enough

337. First of ALL :)

I understand, what is important is how I respond to the situation around me. Not running away. Even if the reason is to make my dreams come true, I have to change something that has been bad for me. changing life priorities is not an easy thing for me. letting go of the things that have made me enthusiastic about living my days... it seems dramatic but it's even sadder if I keep delaying doing everything for myself. Therefore, starting today I will do whatever I like, what I want, what I can.

First of all, changing the mindset. Choose to be happy, smile more and not feeling bad about myself is the first things to do. I believe when i have source from myself. It is enough to live the rest of my days. Wherever i go, whenever it is, i can do it and i am open to any opportunities. What i've learned in 30 years of my age is not that really difficult, Alhamdulillah. Mentally, i still have a doubt, of course everyone has it but it's the time to go.

336. Makeup & Skincare

Itch on my belly
I did not know where it is come from
But red dots a bit bothers me

Use makeup and skincare
Repurchase
Sleep, eat, pray, prepare to work
Repeat
New routine, adapting
New faces, classic conversation

Sunny days, hot
Windy nights, cold
Blue top and bottom
Trouble sleeping

Life is about balancing
Life is about reacting
So until then
I am going to be fine

Until then
I don't have to use any makeups
And we won't be overthink about anything
But our future is a reflection
Of what we're doing right now

335. Life isn't not only about it

I know life is not only about that

But why am i so selfish?

It is about survive

It is about live in the moment but also think about the future

It is about many things 

Sometimes we talk about religion too

Sometimes we talk about our habits

Sometimes we talk about our sickness

It is a wide and wild thoughts of life

It is not simple even though we like something simple

We like simplicity, we like clean room, minimalist space

But we are not simple

We are complicated

The first minute fine, then the next minutes we are not fine

Heavy mood swing

Just live because we are alive

I don't know what's happening but i think this is me now

Confuse, lonely, i cannot find happiness

But somehow i understand that i have to create it to keep alive

Create my own happiness and no matter what happen.. that formula will not be affected at all

Everyone's struggling

There is no parameter, there is no level in this case

But i believe by the time.. Everyone always have their own choices

I become more sad if i cannot help others.
