Day 04: A SONG THAT MAKES YOU SAD
8:43 PM
Pada post
sebelumnya gue cerita kalau semua lagu itu bikin gue senang. Tapi challenge ini mengharuskan gue untuk
memilih lagu yang bikin gue sedih. Gak tau lah, emang ada ya lagu yang bikin
sedih? Ya mungkin banyak sih lagu yang liriknya sedih, tapi lagu dengan lirik
sedih itu gak pernah bikin gue sedih. Walaupun gue dengerinnya pas lagi sedih,
tapi itu malah bikin gue gak sedih setelahnya. Ngerti gak apa maksud yang
pengen gue sampaikan di sini?
Call me weird but I
don’t find music making me sad in any way.
OH. ADA DEH SATU LAGU YANG BAWAANNYA SEDIH. Lagunya Mr.
Bean, right? Iya gak sih, kalo abis nonton Mr. Bean kan terakhirnya ada lagu
sedihnya tuh, and I always got the
sadness vibe hearing that song. And I think the show itself is pretty sad. A middle-aged
man lives alone, has no friend nor wife, it’s pretty devastating.
Tapi gue gak akan bahas lagunya Mr. Bean.
Gue inget ada lagu yang bikin gue nangis waktu pertama kali
denger. I mean I’ve heard it a couple
times, but I’ve never listened to the lyrics. And when I actually did, I just
burst out into tears (I might have been in a fragile situation).
Dan lagu itu adalah….. *drumrolls*
Dionne Warwick – A House
Is Not a Home
(Live performance by Luther Vandross)
A chair is still a
chair
Even when there's no
one sittin' there
But a chair is not a
house
And a house is not a
home
When there's no one
there to hold you tight
And no one there you
can kiss goodnight
Woah girl
A room is a still a
room
Even when there's
nothin' there but gloom
But a room is not a
house
And a house is not a
home
When the two of us
are far apart
And one of us has a
broken heart
Now and then I call
your name
And suddenly your
face appears
But it's just a
crazy game
When it ends, it
ends in tears
Pretty little
darling, have a heart
Don't let one
mistake keep us apart
I'm not meant to
live alone
Turn this house into
a home
When I climb the
stairs and turn the key
Oh, please be there
Sayin' that you're
still in love with me, yeah
I'm not meant to
live alone
Turn this house into
a home
I climb the stairs
and turn the key
Oh, please be there,
still in love
I said, still in
love, still in love with me, yeah
Are you gonna be in
love with me?
I want you and need
you to be, yeah
Still in love with
me
Say you're gonna be
in love with me
It's drivin' me
crazy to think
That my baby
couldn't be still in love with me
Are you gonna be?
Say you're gonna be
Are you gonna be?
Say you're gonna be
Are you gonna be?
Say you're gonna be
Well well, well well
Still in love, so in
love, still in love with me
Are you gonna be?
Say that you're
gonna be
Still in love with
me, yeah
With me, oh
Still in love with
me, yeah
If you ever find
yourself in the point where you really need to cry your eyes out but you wanna
keep it classy, I’d say listen to this song. Seriously it’s the classiest way
to waste you tears. You can still cry over the cheesiest thing in the world but
you don’t need to be embarrassed because the song you listen to is a high-class
ballad—not just a weak ass piece of crap like most sad songs are. Maksudnya
walaupun lagu ini cengeng, tapi liriknya sangat estetik dan hal ini bikin meaning-nya
berkesan so much deeper than it actually
is.
Gue pernah bilang kalau award
lagu paling sedih itu jatuh kapada Fix You-nya Coldplay (it stays the same fyi), tapi udah biasa banget kan ngeliat orang
jadi galau sendiri setelah dengerin Fix You, and aren’t you guys sick of mainstream things? Gue gak bilang kalau
Fix You bukan lagu yang tepat buat bersedih-sedih ya, maksud gue, gue pribadi
sih lebih suka lagu-lagu yang gak mainstream.
Gue tau lagu ini (lagi-lagi) dari Glee. Munculnya di pertengahan
season 1 kalau gak salah, dan scene lagu ini di Glee lagi
sedih-sedihnya gitu, I couldn’t hold back
tears.
Udah cukup lama gue gak dengerin A House Is Not a Home, tapi
setiap bahas lagu-lagu sedih pasti gue inget sama lagu ini, karena gue
bener-bener suka sama liriknya. Padahal sebenernya isi lagu ini sederhana sama
seperti lagu-lagu sedih pada umumnya, tapi liriknya dibuat kayak “….but a room is not a house, and a house is
not a home, when the two of us are far apart, and one of us has a broken heart”
and I was like “fuck.”
Segitu aja post hari ini, yang belum tau lagunya selamat
mendengarkan ya J
