I love music! Yes, I really do. Walaupun suara gw gak bagus –
bagus banget, gw suka nyanyi. Suka kerja sambil dengerin lagu, sebelum tidur
dengerin lagu, dengerin lagu sambil baca, makan, dll.. Musik itu adalah salah
satu sanctuary buat gw, karena menurut gw mendengarkan music yang positif dan
kita suka, itu bisa bikin mood lebih baik. And I really admire orang – orang yang
bisa menciptakan lagu, music, aransemen yang begitu indah dan bikin orang lain
bisa menikmatinya.
Berikut ini beberapa lagu yang gw suka dan membuat mood gw
lebih baik :
1. I Believe I Can Fly – R. Kelly
Lagu ini pertama kali gw denger waktu
nonton film Space Jam bareng teman SMP tahun 1997. Film semi kartun ini bagus
banget, singkatnya, filmnya dan soundtracknya sama – sama bagus.
Walaupun R. Kelly punya reputasi kurang
bagus dan punya beberapa catatan criminal, tapi lagu yang dia tulis dan
nyanyiin sendiri ini bener – bener punya lirik yang oke dan positif.
Bagian lirik yang gw suka :
If I can see it, then I can do it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it
I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day
Spread my wings and fly away
I believe I can soar
I see me running through that open door
I believe I can fly
Gw bukan penggemar Mary J. Blige, bahkan lagu
dia gw cuma tau satu or dua. Denger lagu ini pertama kali waktu dia
diwawancarain Oprah tentang riwayat hidupnya. Sebagai warga African-American
yang tinggal di daerah miskin, dia menghadapi banyak tindakan abusive dan punya
self esteem rendah. However, dia berhasil lepas dari lingkungan itu dan
berjuang hingga berhasil. Nah, untuk orang – orang yang punya pengalaman sama
dengan dia, Mary buat lagu ini:
In each tear there's a lesson
Makes you wiser than before
Makes you stronger than you know
In each tear
Brings you closer to your dreams
No mistake, no heartbreak
Can take away what you're meant to be
You're much more than a struggle that you go through
You're not defined by your pain, so let it go...
You're not a victim, you're more like a winner
And you're not in defeat, you're more like a queen
3. Beautiful – Cherrybelle
Blame me! Blame me! Hehehe.. Secara gw bilang
kemana – mana kalo gw kurang suka ama boy band and girl band jaman sekarang
#siap-siap ditimpukkin penggemarnya. Entahlaah, karena menurut gw lagu mereka
itu gak jauh – jauh dari percintaan yang galau dan mendayu – dayu. Tapi buat
lagu yang satu ini, laiiiin.. Pertama kali bener – bener denger adalah ketika
dua keponakan kecil gw merengek – rengek minta nyanyi lagu Cherrybelle. “Bibi..
Bibi.. Ayo nyanyi lagu Cherrybelle yang ‘ongkai, ongbisyai..”
Hadeeeeeuh..
Yaksud, gw cari n download lagu ini di BB gw dulu. Dan nyanyi – nyanyi bareng
lah kita seharian, dan ternyata liriknya bagus jugaa.. Hihihi..
Don’t cry, don’t be shy
Kamu cantik apa adanya
Sadari syukuri dirimu sempurna
Jangan dengarkan kata mereka
Dirimu indah pancarkan sinarmu wo oww
Kamu cantik apa adanya
Sadari syukuri dirimu sempurna
Jangan dengarkan kata mereka
Dirimu indah pancarkan sinarmu wo oww
You are beautiful, beautiful,
beautiful
Kamu cantik cantik dari hatimu
You are beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Kamu cantik cantik dari hatimu
Kamu cantik cantik dari hatimu
You are beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Kamu cantik cantik dari hatimu
4. Try Again – Aaliyah
Rest in Peace, Aaliyah. Mantan istri R.
Kelly ini termasuk penyanyi kulit hitam yang gw suka wajahnya. Lagu ini adalah
soundtrack dari film yang dia mainin juga bareng Jet Lee, judul filmnya Romeo
Must Die. Kakak gw suka banget film ini. Beat lagunya enak dan walaupun
liriknya diulang – ulang, gw gak pernah bosen dengernya.
If at
first you don't succeed
Dust yourself off and try it again
You can dust it off and try again
If at first you don't succeed
You can dust it off and try it again
Dust yourself off and try again
Dust yourself off and try it again
You can dust it off and try again
If at first you don't succeed
You can dust it off and try it again
Dust yourself off and try again
5. Breakaway – Kelly Clarkson
Kelly Clarkson.. Pemenang American Idol
yang banyak nulis lagunya sendiri ini, punya suara yang tinggi banget, kalo gw
karaoke dan nyanyiin lagu dia, suara gw pasti gak nyampe.. Hehehe.. Tapi suara
dia enak didenger, renyaah gitu.. Lagu
ini sepertinya menggambarkan perjalanan hidup dia, besar di kota kecil, ikut
American Idol dan akhirnya sukses seperti sekarang. Dia salah satu pemenang
Idol yang masih bisa tetep terkenal sampai sekarang, soalnya dia produktif
banget nulis lagu.
I'll
spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
I'll do what it takes til' I touch the sky
And I'll make a wish
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget all the ones that I love
I'll take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
I'll do what it takes til' I touch the sky
And I'll make a wish
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget all the ones that I love
I'll take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
6. Skycraper – Demi Lovato
Demi.. Demi.. Dia dateng dan konser di
Jakarta kemaren. Walaupun gw suka banget sama lagunya yang Skycraper ini, gw
gak gitu tertarik nonton konsernya karena cuma tau lagu dia satu or dua. Demi
Lovato cilik itu lulusannya Disney, dia dulu barengan sama Selena Gomez. Lagu
Skycraper ini liriknya bagus banget, dan video klipnya simple. Di videonya cuma
ada Demi yang berdiri di tengah – tengah padang salju, walaupun begitu, gw gak
bosen liatnya, mungkin karena lagunya bagus juga kali yaaah.. Lagu ini adalah
salah satu lagu wajib gw kalo karaoke, walaupun gw selalu susah payah
nyanyinya..
You
can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like I'm made of glass
Like I'm made of paper
Go on and try to tear me down
I will be rising from the ground
Like a skyscraper, like a skyscraper
You can break everything I am
Like I'm made of glass
Like I'm made of paper
Go on and try to tear me down
I will be rising from the ground
Like a skyscraper, like a skyscraper
7. Welcome to My Life – Simple Plan
Lirik lagu ini sebenernya gak secara
langsung menyemangati, malah lebih ke curhat. Tentang keputus asaan, tentang
kemuakan mereka ama hidup, tapi kok, ya.. Cocok ama pengalaman gw.. Hehe..
Makanya sekali denger langsung cocok harga ama ni lagu. Simple Plan sendiri itu
band semi rock - boy band kalo buat gw, karena lagu – lagu mereka itu easy
listening dan personelnya emang cakep – cakep.
To be hurt, to feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like
Welcome to my life
8. Carry On – Fun
Lagu ini baru banget.. Gw sering banget
denger di Jak FM kalo sore. Pertama denger biasa aja, tapi kok lama – lama lagunya
jadi enak banget. Video klipnya juga bagus. Vokalisnya, Nate Ruess punya vocal yang
gak biasa. Dia juga duet sama Pink di lagu Just Give Me A Reason, lagu ini
bagus juga. Gw sukaaa banget lagu ini, aransemennya damai dan liriknya bikin
adem.
Though I've never been through hell like that
I've closed enough windows to know you can never look back
If you're lost and alone
Or you're sinking like a stone
Carry on
May your past be the sound
Of your feet upon the ground
Carry on
I've closed enough windows to know you can never look back
If you're lost and alone
Or you're sinking like a stone
Carry on
May your past be the sound
Of your feet upon the ground
Carry on
9. Man in A Mirror – Michael Jackson
Kalo penyanyi yang satu ini gak usah
ditanya.. He’s a legend. Walaupun dalam hidupnya dia mengalami banyak hal yang
gak mengenakkan dan banyak cobaan, tapi dia menghasilkan banyak karya yang
mengubah hidup banyak orang, termasuk mengubah hidupnya sendiri. Lagu ini
menyadarkan gw, seringkali, kalau kita mau berubah, pertama – tama kita harus
mengubah diri kita sendiri. Change begins with “I”. Di lagu ini (seperti di
banyak lagu – lagu Michael lainnya), keliatan banget kalo dia itu punya empati
yang sangat – amat besar kepada orang – orang yang kurang beruntung. Dan gw gak
tau apa yang ada di pikiran dan otak, orang – orang yang memberikan tuduhan
palsu buat Michael. Well, hidup selalu punya dua sisi, sebaik apapun kita, akan
selalu ada orang yang suka dan tidak suka.
As I,
Turn Up The Collar On My Favourite Winter Coat
This Wind Is Blowin' My Mind
I See The Kids In The Street, With Not Enough To Eat
Who Am I, To Be Blind?
Pretending Not To See Their Needs
A Summer's Disregard, A Broken Bottle Top
And A One Man's Soul
They Follow Each Other On The Wind Ya' Know
'Cause They Got Nowhere To Go
That's Why I Want You To Know
This Wind Is Blowin' My Mind
I See The Kids In The Street, With Not Enough To Eat
Who Am I, To Be Blind?
Pretending Not To See Their Needs
A Summer's Disregard, A Broken Bottle Top
And A One Man's Soul
They Follow Each Other On The Wind Ya' Know
'Cause They Got Nowhere To Go
That's Why I Want You To Know
I'm
Starting With The Man In the Mirror
I'm Asking Him To Change his Ways
And No Message Could Have been Any Clearer
If You Wanna Make The World a Better Place
I'm Asking Him To Change his Ways
And No Message Could Have been Any Clearer
If You Wanna Make The World a Better Place
Take
A Look At Yourself, and then Make A Change
10. Can’t That Away – Mariah Carey
Mimi! Istri Nick Cannon ini juga punya
perjuangan hidup yang gak mudah. Dia terlahir dari ayah seorang kulit hitam dan
ibu kulit putih. Oia, kayaknya video klipnya “Through The Rain” itu
menggambarkan kisah bapak dan ibunya Mariah deh. Karena itu dia juga banyak
mengalami rasis abuse di masa mudanya. Lirik lagu ini bagus dari awal sampe
akhir, kalo gw lagi sedih dan denger lagu ini, gw bisa bener – bener terharu.
Hehehe.. Bagian lirik yang gw suka dari lagu ini? Semuaaanyaaa..
They
can say,
Anything they want to say,
Try to bring me down,
But I will not allow anyone to succeed hanging clouds over me,
And they can try
Hard to make me feel that I,
Don't matter at all,
But I refuse to falter in what I believe or lose faith in my dreams
'Cause there's,
There's a light in me,
That shines brightly,
They can try,
But they can't take that away from me
From me
Oh they,
They can do
Anything they want to you,
If you let them in,
But they won't ever win,
If you cling to you pride, and just push them aside,
See I,
I have learned,
There's an inner peace I own,
Something in my soul that they can not possess
So I won't be afraid and the darkness will fade
'Cause there's,
There's light in me me,
That shines brightly, yes
They can try,
But they can't take that away from me
No oh oh,
They can't take this
Precious love I'll always have inside me,
Certainly the Lord will guide me where I need to go
They can say
Anything they want to say,
Try to bring me down,
But I won't face the ground,
I will rise steadily sailing out of their reach,
Lord, they do try,
Hard to make me feel that I,
Don't matter at all,
But I refuse to falter,
In what I believe or lose faith in my dreams,
'Cause there's a light in me,
That shines brightly yes
Anything they want to say,
Try to bring me down,
But I will not allow anyone to succeed hanging clouds over me,
And they can try
Hard to make me feel that I,
Don't matter at all,
But I refuse to falter in what I believe or lose faith in my dreams
'Cause there's,
There's a light in me,
That shines brightly,
They can try,
But they can't take that away from me
From me
Oh they,
They can do
Anything they want to you,
If you let them in,
But they won't ever win,
If you cling to you pride, and just push them aside,
See I,
I have learned,
There's an inner peace I own,
Something in my soul that they can not possess
So I won't be afraid and the darkness will fade
'Cause there's,
There's light in me me,
That shines brightly, yes
They can try,
But they can't take that away from me
No oh oh,
They can't take this
Precious love I'll always have inside me,
Certainly the Lord will guide me where I need to go
They can say
Anything they want to say,
Try to bring me down,
But I won't face the ground,
I will rise steadily sailing out of their reach,
Lord, they do try,
Hard to make me feel that I,
Don't matter at all,
But I refuse to falter,
In what I believe or lose faith in my dreams,
'Cause there's a light in me,
That shines brightly yes
They
can try but they can't take that away from
Me
From me
Me
From me
