"..and who am I to judge you, on what you say or do.. I'm only just beginning, to see the real you. And sometimes when we touch, the honesty is too much. And I have to close my eyes and hide.." [Sometimes When We Touch - Dan Hill] :p
lagu-lagu lama, baik yg indonesia atau yg ngenglish, rasa-rasanya lebih punya nilai sastra dan lebih wise dalam memandang hidup dalam liriknya. tanya kenapa?
[apakah ini tanda2 kehancuran (baca:alay) mulai menguasai bumi? oh tidaaaak! :p]
tapi ada juga lagu2 masa sekarang yang oke kok,, Lagu-lagu Owl City punya gaya beda lagi,, beberapa lagunya bikin berasa masuk taman bermain anak ^^ dan Fireflies-nya seperti masuk ke dunia mimpi anak di malam hari.
You ask me if I love you And I choke on my reply I'd rather hurt you honestly Than mislead you with a lie And who am I to judge you On what you say or do? I'm only just beginning to see the real you
And sometimes when we touch The honesty's too much And I have to close my eyes and hide I wanna hold you til I die Til we both break down and cry I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides
Romance and all its strategy Leaves me battling with my pride But through the insecurity Some tenderness survives I'm just another writer Still trapped within my truth A hesitant prize fighter Still trapped within my youth
And sometimes when we touch The honesty's too much And I have to close my eyes and hide I wanna hold you til I die Til we both break down and cry I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides
At times I'd like to break you And drive you to your knees At times I'd like to break through And hold you endlessly
At times I understand you And I know how hard you've tried I've watched while love commands you And I've watched love pass you by
At times I think we're drifters Still searching for a friend A brother or a sister But then the passion flares again
And sometimes when we touch The honesty's too much And I have to close my eyes and hide I wanna hold you til I die Til we both break down and cry I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides
see? liriknya enggak biasa, bikin lagu dengan tema sejenis lain jadi terdengar 'sederhana' bagi saya.
You would not believe your eyes If ten million fireflies Lit up the world as I fell asleep
'Cause they'd fill the open air And leave teardrops everywhere You'd think me rude But I would just stand and stare
I'd like to make myself believe That planet Earth turns slowly It's hard to say that I'd rather stay Awake when I'm asleep 'Cause everything is never as it seems
'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs From ten thousand lightning bugs As they tried to teach me how to dance
A foxtrot above my head A sock hop beneath my bed A disco ball is just hanging by a thread
I'd like to make myself believe That planet Earth turns slowly It's hard to say that I'd rather stay Awake when I'm asleep 'Cause everything is never as it seems When I fall asleep
Leave my door open just a crack (Please take me away from here) 'Cause I feel like such an insomniac (Please take me away from here) Why do I tire of counting sheep (Please take me away from here) When I'm far too tired to fall asleep
To ten million fireflies I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes I got misty eyes as they said farewell
But I'll know where several are If my dreams get real bizarre 'Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar
I'd like to make myself believe That planet Earth turns slowly It's hard to say that I'd rather stay Awake when I'm asleep 'Cause everything is never as it seems When I fall asleep
I'd like to make myself believe That planet Earth turns slowly It's hard to say that I'd rather stay Awake when I'm asleep 'Cause everything is never as it seems When I fall asleep
I'd like to make myself believe That planet earth turns slowly It's hard to say that I'd rather stay Awake when I'm asleep Because my dreams are bursting at the seams
coba resapin lirik ini sambil dengerin lagunya,, uwaaah.. saik bgt deh.. orang dewasa nyanyi ttg kid's stuff, jadi bikin inget lagu Bintang yang dipopulerin sama band AIR jaman 90an dulu.. hehe.. siapa bilang lagu anak gak bisa keren,,err.. atau siapa bilang lagu gak bisa punya rating untuk segala jenis usia? :D
wah.. ada banyak hipotesis mengenai hal tersebut kak,, *taelaaa*
yg jelas lagu dulu mah lengkap, dari mulai tema cinta, kemanusiaan, perjuangan, renungan ttg hidup.. lengkap deh.. mungkin karena dulu bikin lagu jadi hits tuh susah. jadi harus bener2 bikin yang bagus dan meaning. klo sekarang kan bisa diakalin sama teknologi.

Sometimes When We Touch - Dan Hill
ReplyDeleteYou ask me if I love you
And I choke on my reply
I'd rather hurt you honestly
Than mislead you with a lie
And who am I to judge you
On what you say or do?
I'm only just beginning to see the real you
And sometimes when we touch
The honesty's too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you til I die
Til we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides
Romance and all its strategy
Leaves me battling with my pride
But through the insecurity
Some tenderness survives
I'm just another writer
Still trapped within my truth
A hesitant prize fighter
Still trapped within my youth
And sometimes when we touch
The honesty's too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you til I die
Til we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides
At times I'd like to break you
And drive you to your knees
At times I'd like to break through
And hold you endlessly
At times I understand you
And I know how hard you've tried
I've watched while love commands you
And I've watched love pass you by
At times I think we're drifters
Still searching for a friend
A brother or a sister
But then the passion flares again
And sometimes when we touch
The honesty's too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you til I die
Til we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides

ReplyDeletefireflies by Owl City
ReplyDeleteYou would not believe your eyes

That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay

nantikan.. klo ada kesempatan dan mood.. saya akan posting lirik beserta sepatah dua patah komen singkat ttg lagu selanjutnya:
ReplyDeleteHot Air Balloon-nya Owl CIty (yang mana saya belum mendapatkan mp3nya) dan
Someday-nya Rob Thomas
:D
sepakat ra.. lagu2 jaman dulu emang lebih meaning. kenapa yaa? apa karena visi misi kehidupan mereka juga jelas yaa?
ReplyDeletewah.. ada banyak hipotesis mengenai hal tersebut kak,, *taelaaa*
ReplyDeleteyg jelas lagu dulu mah lengkap, dari mulai tema cinta, kemanusiaan, perjuangan, renungan ttg hidup..
lengkap deh.. mungkin karena dulu bikin lagu jadi hits tuh susah. jadi harus bener2 bikin yang bagus dan meaning. klo sekarang kan bisa diakalin sama teknologi.
