Loden Pajamas is a fictional song written by Paul Robbinson, a R 'n B songwriter that never gaining recognition throughout his life and career. However after 50 years had passed, his work even became a big hit. It was started when Clark Websters found a vinyl recording ancient wardrobe. He played the vinyl record which there is a song entitled LodenPajamas by Paul. Clark immediately fell in love after hearing the song. Clark who is working in radio, played the song unilaterally on the show that he was the announcer. At the first, the management of the radio did not agree with him because he preferred to play that song and ignored the happening song. Clark stayed with his decision to play the song again and again. Finally many audiences wondered and became curious about that song. Then Naya Robbinson, a listener of the radio contacted Clark and said that the song was once of his father's work that was not sold in the past. The singer of that song was Jordan Marbes. Now he is old and has neurological disorder in his legs so he cannot walk. Naya told to Clark that the title of the song is Loden Pajamas but she does not know the meaning of the title.

Clark contacts Naya immediately. They talked about Paul. At that time the song had been popular. Loden Pajamas that has cheery pitch and happy lyric, according Naya, although the song was in the compilation but the song was never considered by any person. It was because of a lot of people had sentiment to Paul. Paul became stress. He died in 33 year old because of pneumonia and it was aggravated with the heart attacks who attacked him suddenly. Then the story is flashback where we were taken to know the history of the creation of the Loden Pajamas song. Loden Pajamas was actually the name of inn where Paul, Sindy, his friend who was an actress and a star of vocal group The Temperament, and James took a vocal recording of James for 2 weeks. Sindy was Jame’s girlfriend. Actually Paul fell in love with too with Sindy. However the deep feelings of friendship to James made Paul hid his feelings. Paul always saw Sindy and James intimate relationship every day. It made him grateful however he felt hurt because of jealousy inside his heart.

One night, they had a party to celebrate the completion of the vocal recording of James in the inn. They danced and sang. That was the time that Paul had an idea to write the song.Paul wrote the song alone in his room. He wrote the lyrics with a feeling of pain in his heart and tears fell from his eyes because of jealousy. The lyrics talked about a man who gave support to a women who he loved to keep going to marry the other people. The man always gave support to the women and that man at a dance party. At that time, Jordan was an amateur singer that was recruited by Paul in prostitution area. When Jordan sang that song, Paul tried not to fall his tears because he could feel his soul in the song. The song was finished with only 4 times to take the recording. Paul filled all the music by himself because all the musicians had a sentiment to Paul while James could not play a musical instrument.

James then promised to offer the songs to a producer who he know. James was successful to effort the producer. He interested to put the song in the end of side B song list. That songs were produced in the form of cassettes and vinyl recording. Actually no one played his song. A producer named Alan Pardes had a sentiment to Paul. At the first,because he felt the song that was sung by Jordan was very crisp and exuberant, he would like to put the song in the first list in side A and make it as a single. After knowing the author was "Paul", Alan dissuaded and even wanted to destroy the song. However because of the seduction of James and James had a close relationship with him, Alan did not do that. He decided to put it in that compilation but in the end of side B song list.

Actually all the songs in that compilation song were a bad song except Loden Pajamas. It made the people who bought that compilation song dispose of his records after they played the first until the middle song list of side A. Because the song did not sell well, all the singer and songwriter were protest to Alan as well as Paul and Jordan. Alan was promised to re-record those songs with new arrangements. Only Paul that was not refused to record his song. Alan said that Loden Pajamas song was so bad that no matter how hard they would re-record, the result would be bad too. Actually Loden Pajamas was the best song among the other songs on that compilation song. Paul was disappointed. He suddenly had heart attack on that place.

Because of the sentiments, all of the people did not care to him except James and Jordan. People did not care Paul condition that laid on the floor. The reason was pneumonia and heart attack. After the death of Paul, Jordan, Clark’s grandfather that his real name was Richard Websters had the original vinyl of that compilation. Jordan had been divorced with Clark's grandmother. That vinyl that was Loden Pajamas as the last song inside, he brought when he packed up for evicted from the house by his wife. After 50 years, the song was found again by Clark.

The message of this story is when a work comes from sincerity and feelings in certainly will be recognized and be a masterpiece. Although the work will be hidden in a long time, even to tens of millions of years, it will be found and be a masterpiece.
