Lagu yang aneh

Abis blogwalking tiba-tiba ketemu lagu dengan lirik ini

You're my Honeybunch, Sugarplum
Pumpy-umpy-umpkin, You're my Sweetie Pie
You're my Cuppycake, Gumdrop
Snoogums-Boogums, You're
the Apple of my Eye

And I love you so and I want you to know
That I'll always be right here
And I love to sing sweet songs to you
Because you are so dear!

Lagunya aneh tapi lucu...
Sepertinya ini lagu buat ngudang (atau ngidung?) anak kecil.

Lagu anak-anak masa kini

Di suatu sore, saat Surabaya hujan, Aku pulang ke Sidoarjo naik bemo kuning (namanya GV ato TG ato apalah lupa, pokoknya yang kuning trus strip ijo itu). Nah, setelah aku naik, ada seorang ibu membawa beberapa anak kecil, salah satunya perempuan, usianya mungkin 3-4 tahun, dan masih digendong. Setelah beberapa saat anak itu mulai menyanyi:

Cinta ini kadang tak ada logika
- Agnes - Tak Ada Logika.

Lho? Kok?
Pada waktu aku seusianya lagu yang aku nyanyikan ya paling balonku ada lima, atau lagu favortiku tentang pelanduk, kalo nggak ya lagu kingkong badannya besar.Tapi anak kecil ini kok lagunya kayak gini sih?

Setelah dipikir-pikir lagi... Emang ada artis cilik jaman sekarang? Ada juga Samuel, trus dulu ada Sherina, sebelumnya ada Joshua, trus Enno Lerian, dan Agnes Monica, Leony waktu masih lucu-lucunya, trus sekarang wes nggak ada lagi.

Jadi...
Where The Hell penyanyi cilik jaman sekarang?
Apa menjadi penyanyi cilik sekarang tidak menguntungkan?

Tapi inti masalahnya bukan itu.
Seakan-akan anak kecil jaman sekarang dipaksa untuk mendengarkan musik2 dewasa. Hal yang umum kalau mereka hapal lagunya Peter Pan, Radja, Samson, atau grup sejenis.
Lagu-lagu tentang cinta, patah hati, dll.
Sadarlah kalau mereka masih kecil!!!

Woi....
Mau dibawa kemana generasi anak-anak kita?
Mendingan kalau anaknya ikut Sekolah Minggu, atau Paduan Suara Gereja, mereka bisa belajar lagu yang sesuai dengan mereka.
Kalau nggak?
Mereka bakal belajar akselerasi tentang cinta, poligami (kayak lagunya Astrid), TTM, jauh lebih cepat dari aku dulu (waktu SD aku nggak tahu apa-apa soal itu, aku masih polos :| ).
Sangat wajar kalau anak SD jaman sekarang udah mulai nyari pacar, patah hati, jatuh cinta, wong emang yang mereka dengerin musik tentang itu.

Mungkin para orangtua harus mempertimbangkan masuk ke pasar loak dan mulai nyari lagunya Sherina, Joshua, Susan, dll, sebelum generasi anak-anak kita matang karbitan.

English Translation:

Cities of the night are cold and they seem to bury the heart
I want that feeling that arouses the heart
If we happen to meet
We should dream and love by our own wills
Whether we can move onto more important things
Tell me. Do people meet to get seperated?
I'd like to think it's a mistake
I'm amazed how everything shines when you're in love
I believed there wasn't a thing to be afraid of
The instant passion is aroused everything collapses
I can never forget
I can't say I want to cry
All I want is to meet you again
Even in the room where I can't find you
I'm getting used to it little by little
I want the silence that makes my ears throb disappear
I'm forgetting even those dazzling days
They're probably disappear
I'm amazed how I'm afraid of getting hurt when I'm in love
So we can share all the pleasures and sadness
The passionate you still can't scorch this heart
When you can find those dazzling times you heart will burn to so
You should just be happy
If you can become stronger
You can withstand being hurt repeatedly
I'm amazed how everything shines when you're in love
I believed there wasn't a thing to be afraid of
The instant passion is aroused everything collapses
I can never forget
I can't say I want to cry
All I want is to meet you again

Liverpool Songs

You'll Never Walk Alone
Created by : Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II

When you walk through a storm
Hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark
At the end of the storm
Is a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark

Walk on through the wind
Walk on through the rain
Tho' your dreams be tossed and blown
Walk on, walk on
With hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk alone

Why i post this?
Coz, I'm a fan of the Reds, baka!
The biggest club in England, without any Premier Division Trophy in past 15 years?
It's feels like a sleeping mythical red giants.
When do you learn to win EPL, Baka Reds?

Astrid dan Poligami

Astrid - Jadikan Ku Yang Kedua

jadikan aku yang kedua
buatlah diriku bahagia
walau pun kau takkan pernah
kumiliki selamanya

Apa hubungannya Lagunya Astrid di atas dengan Poligami?
Gampang... Kalau kita nggak bisa jadi yang pertama, minta dimadu aja, jadi yang kedua :))
Kalau yang pertama nggak rela, ya selingkuh aja.

Blurry - Puddle of Mudd

Blurry adalah lagu yang selalu terngiang di kepalaku, sesuai dengan suasana hati yang kacau dan banyak pikiran. Ini liriknya:

Blurry - Puddle of Mud

Everything’s so blurry
And everyone's so fake
And everybody’s empty
And everything is so messed up
Pre-occupied without you
I cannot live at all
My whole world surrounds you
I stumble then I crawl

You could be my someone
You could be my sea
You know that I’ll protect you
From all of the obscene
I wonder what you're doing
Imagine where you are
There’s oceans in between us
But that’s not very far

Can you take it all away?
Can you take it all away?
When ya shoved it in my face?
This pain you gave to me
Can you take it all away?
Can you take it all away?
When ya shoved it in my face?

Everyone is changing
There’s no one left that’s real
So make up your own ending
And let me know just how you feel
'Cause I am lost without you
I cannot live at all
My whole world surrounds you
I stumble then I crawl

You could be my someone
You could be my sea
You know that I will save you
From all of the unclean
I wonder what you're doing
I wonder where you are
There’s oceans in between us
But that’s not very far

Can you take it all away?
Can you take it all away?
When ya shoved it in my face?
This pain you gave to me
Can you take it all away?
Can you take it all away?
When ya shoved it in my face?
This pain you gave to me

Oh, Nobody told me what you thought
Nobody told me what to say
Everyone showed you where to turn
Told you where to run away
Nobody told you where to hide
Nobody told you what to say
Everyone showed you where to turn
Showed you where to run away

Can you take it all away?
Can you take it all away?
When ya shoved it in my face?
This pain you gave to me
Can you take it all away?
Can you take it all away?
When ya shoved it in my face?
This pain you gave to me

No, this pain you gave to me
Take it all away
Take it all away
Pain ya gave to me
Take it all away
This pain you gave to me
Take it all away
This pain you gave to me

Mengapa Lagu Cinta indah jika dinyanyikan berdua?

Bayangkanlah penyanyi ini Tina Arena dan Marc Anthony -I want to spend my life loving you atau lagu klasik kesukaanku We could be in love - Lea Salongan dan Brad Kane atau bayangkan I’m your angel - Celine Dion dan R. Kelly. Lagu-lagu itu mengalun dengan indah, nada-nada cinta mengisi dan kita bias mendengar mereka saling berkata “WE love each other, WE care each other, WE are one.” Maybe that’s what love suppose to be, two hearts that resonate each other.

Coba bayangin kalau lagu itu dinyanyikan sendiri, tetap bagus, tetap indah, tapi rasakan kekurangannya. A one side love is a incomplete love. Coba nyanyiin itu sendiri, rasanya ada yang kurang, rasanya ada yang nggak pas. Memang love can be so individualistic but it’s much more beautiful to share.

Atau other story, bayangin lagu-lagu seperti Bunga - Bondan dan Fade2black, atau Ijinkan aku menyayangimu-Iwan Fals, lagu itu menceritakan cinta yang one-sided, tanpa pernah mengungkapkan atau lebih parah di lagunya Iwan Fals ada semacam apatisme, I don’t care that you love me or not, but I know this, I love you. Hal ini adalah cinta yang menyiksa(I know this), coz’ nature of love is to be shared, not to be kept alone.

Mencintai berarti resiko, resiko patah hati, resiko sakit hati, resiko makan hati, pokoknya yang berhubungan dengan hati. Seperti kata Iwan Fals,”Cinta itu soal hati”(Kalo temanku menambahinya,”Bukan soal kelamin =p”). Resiko itu sedemikian besar dan sakit sehingga banyak orang(kadang termasuk aku) memilih untuk kept love alone, melawan semua sifat cinta.

Di sisi lain selalu ada lagu tentang patah hati mulai Semua Tak Sama – Padi, “My Happy Ending - Avril Lavigne sampai sebuah perasaan sukacita Since You’ve been Gone - Kelly Clarkson. Patah hati itu sakit, tapi sakitnya sebentar sementara cinta yang terpendam menyiksa, bahkan mungkin setelah bertahun-tahun.

Meski tahu itu loncatan itu susah dilakukan. Banyak yang harus dipertimbangkan, dikejar, dipertaruhkan. Film The Hitch mungkin menggambarkannya dengan baik. Menyatakan cinta berarti keluar dari zona aman, tidak semua orang suka dengan ini, bahkan Alex Hitchens yang digambarkan sebagai dokter cinta pun tidak. Ada kutipan yang bagus di film ini,”Because that’s people do, they leap and hope to God that they can fly, coz otherwise we just drop like a rock, wondering all way down, why, in the hell, did I jump”. In the end, love must be shared, risk must be taken, we have to leap to reach our love. Kita nggak bisa menyangkal sifat cinta itu.

Pernyataan cinta haruslah riang, menyenangkan, dan bersemangat seperti lagu I knew I love you before I met you – Savage Garden atau Can’t Take My Eyes From You. Karena cinta itu menyenangkan, membebaskan dan menghangatkan hati. Kenapa harus sendiri kalau bisa berbagi?

So share your love….
