Salah satu alasan aku mengidolakan band Letto adalah lirik lagunya yang mempunyai makna begitu dalam. selain itu Letto juga mempunyai lagu yang cocok bagi semua kalangan.
Lagu yang paling ku sukai adalah sebelum cahaya dari album don't make me sad yang menceritakan seseorang yang menemui Tuhannya pada malam hari (bukan mati!, tapi shalat tahajjud).
Satu lagi yang mempunyai makna dan pesan penting adalah Bird Song (album Lethologica), lagu berbahasa inggris ini mengandung pesan agar kita melestarikan hutan supaya kita tetap bisa mendengarkan nyanyian burung....
A little bird singing a love
song that her mother taught
That little bird somehow sings
it over and overShe files very high try to find
the place she first learnt to fly
She files so very high she
wants to seek an answer from the skyOn a misty mountain over the
clear water river
But there's no misty mountain
let alone a clear water riverReff :
And she just wants to go home
She just wants to be at home
On a misty mountain
But now turned into barrenShe just wants to be singing
when the sun rise in the morning
On a misty mountain
But now turned into barren
She doesn't know what happened
All of those trees has been
cut down
In the name of humanity
The river runs dry
Because now clouds refuse to cryBack to Reff
If I could
Then I would
Try to make us all
Care bout her call
