History
In 1678, Sunan Amangkurat II promised to give control of Semarang to the Dutch East India Company (VOC) as a part of a debt payment. In 1682, the Semarang state was founded by the Dutch colonial power. On 5 October 1705 after years of occupations, Semarang officially became a VOC city when Susuhunan Pakubuwono I made a deal to give extensive trade rights to the VOC in exchange of wiping out Mataram's debt. The VOC, and later, the Dutch East Indies government, established tobacco plantations in the region and built roads and railroads, making Semarang an important colonial trading centre.

Somewhere I Wanna Go
by: Tracy Byrd(Mark Nesler - Tony Martin - Tom Shapiro)
Here's the thing about your memory
It could be a thousand miles it could be as many days
But when it's sweeping over me
I'm so powerless it just caries me away.
And where it's taking me I never know
The only thing that I can do is hope
It's somewhere I wanna go.
Not that January night under that street light
With the snow falling all around
And I'm telling you things that I don't really mean
But they just keep coming out
And I see your unbelieving tears
Your speechless breath hanging in the air
And I watch you throw your ring out in the snow
And there I wait until your mem'ry goes
Somewhere I wanna go.
Like that weekend when we just took off
Driving in that April sun anywhere the feeling went
We ended up in Montreal
Couldn't understand a word but we learned to laugh in French
Where you memory wants to take me I don't know
The only thing that I can do is hope
It's somewhere I wanna go.
Not that January night under that street light
With the snow falling all around
And I'm telling you things that I don't really mean
But they just keep coming out
And I see your unbelieving tears
Your speechless breath hanging in the air
And I watch you throw your ring out in the snow
And there I wait until your mem'ry goes
Somewhere I wanna go.
--- Instrumental ---
Make it somewhere I wanna go, somewhere I wanna go
Dancing down at Mardi Gras, that little motel room in Arkansas
The nights we just sat up and talked, somewhere I wanna go
