Bridge Over Troubled Water

Posted on by

*Tiba-tiba, beberapa hari belakangan, Aida senang dengan lagu ini….*

When you’re weary, feeling small,
When tears are in your eyes, I will dry them all;
I’m on your side, when times get rough
And friends just can’t be found,
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.

When you’re down and out,
When you’re on the street,
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you.
I’ll take your part.
When darkness comes
And pains is all around,
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.

Sail on silver girl,
Sail on by.
Your time has come to shine.
All your dreams are on their way.
See how they shine.
If you need a friend
I’m sailing right behind.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind.

By Simon And Garfunkel

Sounds of Silence

Posted on by

Hello darkness, my old friend,
Ive come to talk with you again,
Because a vision softly creeping,
Left its seeds while I was sleeping,
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence.

In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone,
neath the halo of a street lamp,
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of
A neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence.

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more.
People talking without speaking,
People hearing without listening,
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one deared
Disturb the sound of silence.

“Fools” said i,you do not know
Silence like a cancer grows.
Hear my words that I might teach you,
Take my arms that I might reach you.
But my words like silent raindrops fell,
And echoed
In the wells of silence

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon God they made.
And the sign flashed out its warning,
In the words that it was forming.
And the signs said, the words of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls.
And whisperd in the sounds of silence.

By Simon and Garfunkel

Imagine

Posted on by

Imagine there’s no heaven
It’s easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today…

Imagine there’s no countries
It isn’t hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace…

You may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world…

You may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will live as one —- John Lennon

Kalau denger lagu ini, inget sama salah seorang pecinta kucing teman gue… Pecinta kucing dan pecinta damai… (Haloowwww… muach muach..). Denger lagu ini, gue ngebayangin seandainya ngga ada sekat-sekat atas nama apapun di dunia ini, maka ngga ada perasaan "lebih" antara satu dengan lain, maka ngga ada perang atas nama apapun….

Makanya, pas banget klo lagu ini jadi lagu latar bagi tayangan-tayangan akibat perang atau bom… Hhhhhhhhh..

Against All Odds

Posted on by

How can I just let you walk away,
just let you leave without a trace
When I stand here taking every breath with you, ooh
You’re the only one who really knew me at all

How can you just walk away from me,
when all I can do is watch you leave
Cos we’ve shared the laughter and the pain,
and even shared the tears
You’re the only one who really knew me at all

So take a look at me now,
‘cos there’s just an empty space
And there’s nothing left here to remind me,
just the memory of your face
Take a look at me now,
‘cos there’s just an empty space
And you coming back to me
is against all odds and that’s what I’ve got to face

I wish I could just make you turn around,
turn around and see me cry
There’s so much I need to say to you,
so many reasons why
You’re the only one who really knew me at all

So take a look at me now,
‘cos there’s just an empty space
And there’s nothing left here to remind me,
just the memory of your face
Take a look at me now,
‘cos there’s just an empty space
But to wait for you,
well that’s all I can do and that’s what I’ve got to face
Take a good look at me now,
‘cos I’ll still be standing here
And you coming back to me is against all odds
That’s the chance I’ve got to take, oh, oho

Just take a look at me now

Ini lagu jaman gue SMP kali ya… Seinget gue, gue tadinya ngga suka-suka amat sama lagu ini, karena musiknya “modern” banget, secara jaman itu selera gue masih lagu yang musiknya akustik lah… Atau yang alat musiknya ngga lebih dari 4 (sampai sekarang sih masih gitu selera gue..). Tapi karena tiap beli kaset (jaman itu kalo beli kaset kan modelnya very best) pasti ada lagu itu, gue jadi terbiasa. Terbiasa doang loh.. Ehhhh.. lama-lama kok seneng juga sama lagu itu… tiap denger pasti ikut bersenandung hahahaha..

Puncaknya, pas temen deket gue lagi patah hati 2 tahunan yang lalu, trus dia denger lagu ini hampir setiap hari, trus gue denger curhatan dia hampir tiap hari hahahahahaha… Trus gue pikir, emang cocok juga ya lagu ini sama suasana hati orang yang patah hati, demi kebahagiaan orang laen (ceileee).

Slipping Through My Finger

Posted on by

Pernah dengar lagu ini??

Schoolbag in hand, she leaves home in the early morning
waving goodbye, with an absent-minded smile
I watched her go, with a surge of that well-known sadness
And I have to sit down for a while
the feeling that I’m losing her forever
and without really entering her world
I’m glad whenever I can share her laughter
that funny little girl….

Itu bait awal lagu Slipping through my finger. Yang nyanyi ABBA, tahun awal 80-an. Kemarin lagu itu jadi laguku, bahkan sampai hari ini. Di mobil aku putar berulang-ulang lagu itu… Sok melankolis… hahaha… Aku pikir, kalau pun ada yang bikin aku jadi sok sensi ya soal Aida hahaha…

Kemarin, tanggal 20 Desember 2005, dia berulangtahun yang ke empat… boooookkk.., udah 4 tahun!! Cepat sekali waktu berlalu ya…

…Slipping through my finger all the time,
I try to capture every minute, the feeling in it
slipping through my finger all the time
do I really see what’s in her mind
Each time I think I’m close to knowing
She keeps on growing
Slipping through my finger all the time… lanjutannya..
