Kecepatan Suara

Maaf ya, lagi tidak ada bahan belakangan ini, bisanya posting lirik lagu saja. Tapi saya suka sekali lagu ini, seriusss...

How long before I get in?
Before it starts, before I begin?
How long before you decide?
Before I know what it feels like?
Where To, where do I go?
If you never try, then you'll never know.
How long do I have to climb,
Up on the side of this mountain of mine?

Look up, I look up at night,
Planets are moving at the speed of light.
Climb up, up in the trees,
every chance that you get,
is a chance you seize.
How long am I gonna stand,
with my head stuck under the sand?
I'll start before I can stop,
before I see things the right way up.

All that noise, and all that sound,
All those places I have found.
And birds go flying at the speed of sound,
to show you how it all began.
Birds came flying from the underground,
if you could see it then you'd understand?

Ideas that you'll never find,
All the inventors could never design.
The buildings that you put up,
Japan and China all lit up.
The sign that I couldn't read,
or a light that I couldn't see,
some things you have to believe,
but others are puzzles, puzzling me.

All those signs, I knew what they meant.
Some things you can invent.
Some get made, and some get sent.

Birds go flying at the speed of sound,
to show you how it all began.
Birds came flying from the underground,
if you could see it then you'd understand,
ah, when you see it then you'll understand?

(Coldplay/Speed of Sound)

Cahaya Mataku*

Teduhkanlah hatiku
lelahnya jiwaku
duhai engkau cahaya mataku
yang menuntun jalanku
yang memandu hidupku
yang meredupkan pedih penatku

tersenyumlah...
bahagialah...
sungguh engkau yang melumpuhkan hatiku
yang melipurkan rinduku
senyum itu menyenangkan aku

*Padi-Cahaya Mataku
Untuknya yang hari ini akan turun lapangan lagi
semoga kau temukan Dia di tiap tatapan dan udara yang kau hirup
Allah Bless You

a decent melody

I'm not afraid of anything in this world

there's nothing you can throw at me

that I haven't already heard

I'm just trying to find a decent melody

A song that I can sing

in my own company

I never thought you were a fool

but darling look at you

you gotta stand up straight

carry your own weight

cause tears are going nowhere, baby

You've got to get yourself together

you've got stuck in a moment

and now you can't get out of it

Don't say that later would be better

now you've stuck in a moment

and now you can't get out of it

I will not forsake the colors that you bring

the nights you fill with fireworks

they, they left you nothing

I am still enchanted

by the light you brought to me

I listen through your ears

through your eyes I can see

You are such a fool

to worry like you do

I know it's tough and you can never get enough

of what you don't really need now, my oh my

You've got to get yourself together

you've got stuck in a moment

and now you can't get out of it

Oh love, look at you now

you've got yourself stuck in a moment

and now you can't get out of it

I was unconcious, half asleep

the water is warm till you discover how deep

I wasn't jumping, for me it was a fall

it was a long way down to nothing at all..

And if the night runs over

and if the day won't last

and if your way should falter

along on this stony pass

it's just a moment

this time will pass...

Perih

Without being rude my friends, saya sedang giat-giatnya mendengarkan lagu ini. Terlepas dari spekulasi bahwa band ini susah tampil 'live', plagiat, kasus foto-foto syur Widi di dunia maya, dan semacamnya, mereka bisa menghasilkan karya-karya segar, salah satunya 'Perih' ini, yang harmoni nadanya mampu meliuk-liukkan emosi. Oleh karena itu, semestinya saya melampirkan partiturnya, bukan malah lirik dan foto para personalnya. Biarlah liriknya menjadi milik anak-anak muda angkatan mereka atau siapapun yang mengasosiasikan diri dengannya, saya hanya menikmati lagu dan vokal manja Widi, sang vokalis.

Dirimu…
tak pernah menyadari
semua…
yang telah kau miliki
kau buang aku, tinggalkan diriku
kau… hancurkan aku seakan ku tak pernah ada

Aku kan bertahan
meski takkan mungkin
menerjang kisahnya
walau perih… walau perih…

salahkah…
aku terlalu cinta
berharap..
semua kan kembali
kau buang aku,tinggalkan diriku
kau.. hancurkan aku
seakan ku tak pernah ada

Aku kan bertahan
meski takkan mungkin
menerjang kisahnya
walau perih… walau perih…
