Abstract

Every space has meaning, including a city, which exists through a set of meanings people believe in. For example, Yogyakarta is interpreted as a space for angkringan, rindu, and pulang by Joko Pinurbo's poetry, and the public widely agrees. Similarly, Surabaya is also known by the motto jancuk, the word for our city. The motto was born as a soul that needs to be explored, recognized and believed in so that a myth that holds the meaning of a city is born. Concerning semiotic values, especially in tourism spaces, Semarang also has its myth. The myth is adjacent to the nuances built by the times through the songs Semarang Ceria, Semarang Senja, and Semarang. This research also makes the three songs a reference representation researched directly in the field, related to the nuances and conditions of semiotic spaces in the eyes of people living in Semarang. By looking at the meaning of building in the three songs, a correlation forms the myth of Semarang City, which is romantically related to heat, city streets, and buildings. These three things are also supported by symbols understood by the community and represented in the video clips of the songs in the object of this research.
