Begitu denger dua lagu ini, alarm di kepala langsung bunyi. Keywords-nya: Chicago-JP-dance. Padahal, secara lirik juga nggak nyambung hahahaha. Sebagai astronom tobat ya pertanyaan "why the sky is blue" nggak usah dipertanyakan lagi kayaknya ya hikhikhik. Yang mau karakoean dikasih liriknya deh hehehe.

SOMEDAY WE'LL KNOW

90 miles outside Chicago
Can't stop driving
I don't know why
So many questions
I need an answer
Two years later you're still on my mind

Whatever happened to Emelia Earhart
Who holds the stars up in the sky
Is true love once in a lifetime
Did the captain of the titanic cry

Someday we'll know
If love can move a mountain
Someday we'll know
Why the sky is blue
Someday we'll know
Why I wasn't meant for you

Does anybody know the way to Atlantis
Or what the wind says when she cries
I'm speeding by the place that I met you
For the 97th time tonight

Someday we'll know
If love can move a mountain
Someday we'll know
Why the sky is blue
Someday we'll know
Why I wasn't meant for you

Someday we'll know
Why Samson loved Delilah
One day I'll go
Dancing on the moon
Someday you'll know
That I was the one for you

I bought a ticket to the end of the rainbow
I watched the stars crash in the sea
If I could ask god just one question
Why aren't you here with me

Someday we'll know
If love can move a mountain
Someday we'll know
Why the sky is blue
Someday we'll know
Why I wasn't meant for you

Someday we'll know
Why Samson loved Delilah
One day I'll go
Dancing on the moon
Someday you'll know
That I was the One for you

WHEN WE DANCE

If he loved you
Like I love you
I would walk away in shame
I'd move town
I'd change my name

When he watches you
When he counts to buy your soul
On your hand his golden rings
Like he owns a bird that sings

When we dance
Angels will run and hide their wings

The priest has said my soul's salvation
Is in the balance of the angels
And underneath the wheels of passion
I keep the faith in my fashion

When we dance
Angels will run and hide their wings

I'm still in love with you
[I'm gonna find a place to live
Give you all I've got to give]

When we dance
Angels will run and hide their wings
When we dance
Angels will run and hide their wings

If I could break down these walls
And shout my name at heaven's gate
I'd take these hands
And I'd destroy the dark machineries of fate
Cathedrals are broken
Heaven's no longer above
And hellfire's a promise away
I'd still be saying
I'm still in love

He won't love you
Like I love you
He won't care for you this way
He'll mistreat you if you stay

Come and live with me
We'll have children of our own
I would love you more than life
If you'll come and be my wife

When we dance
Angels will run and hide their wings
When we dance
Angels will run and hide their wings
When we dance
Angels will run and hide their wings
When we dance
Angels will run and hide their wings

I'm gonna love you more than life
If you will only be my wife
I'm gonna love you more than life
If you will only be my wife
I'm gonna love you night and day
I'm gonna try in every way

[I had a dream last night
I dreamt you were by my side
Walking with me baby
My heart was filled with pride
I had a dream last night]

He was there before my sight but I just couldn't say a word. A thought of regret poped up: if only I could turn back the time, if only I didn't say those words, would it be.... but:

{lyric begin

Under the dog star sail
Over the reefs of moonshine
Under the skies of fall
North, north west, the stones of Farve

Under the Arctic fire
Over the seas of silence
Hauling on frozen ropes
For all my days remaining
But would north be true?

All colours bleed to red
Asleep on the ocean's bed
Drifting on empty seas
For all my days remaining

But would north be true?
Why should I?
Why should I cry for you?
Dark angels follow me
Over a godless sea
Mountains of endless falling,
For all my days remaining,

What would be true?

Sometimes I see your face,
The stars seem to lose their place
Why must I think of you?
Why must I?
Why should I?
Why should I cry for you?
Why would you want me to?
And what would it mean to say,
That, "I loved you in my fashion"?

What would be true?
Why should I?
Why should I cry for you?

lyric end}

Yaa begitulah... Jadul banget lah... Tapi tetep enak di kuping loh.

Salah satunya Accidentally in Love. Intro-nya bikin mata melek hehehe. Potongan lirik yang saya suka:

So I said I'M A SNOWBALL RUNNING
RUNNING DOWN INTO THE SPRING that's coming all this love
Melting under blue skies
Belting out sunlight
Shimmering love

Well baby I SURRENDER
TO THE STRAWBERRY ICE CREAM
Never ever end of all this love
Well I didn't mean to do it
But there's no escaping your love

Habis nonton Nodame Cantabile, bukannya musik klasik yang teringat, malah Creep-nya Radiohead. I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo....
~~~~
When you were here before
Couldn't look you in the eye
You're just like an angel
Your skin makes me cry
You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
And I wish I was special
You're so fu***n special

But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo.
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here.

I don't care if it hurts
I want to have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul
I WANT YOU TO NOTICE
When I'm not around
You're so fu***n special
I wish I was special

But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo.
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here.

She's running out again,
She's running out
She's run run run running out...

Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
You're so fu***n special
I wish I was special...

But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo,
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here
I don't belong here

Lately, I thought that it's such my "song of the month", keep asking question where he is, wondering how he is doing. Now, I've found the answer. A photo told me. Yippi! He looks great, anyway, standing with one of the company sites as the background, with that smiling face hehehe....

Here I am. At Ruang Ukur Obs. Bosscha I taste the air of observation. Oh, I don't have any observation to run today. I just want to stay here, maybe find a different fresh air up high in Lembang, trying to uplift my mood on doing thesis.

Someone told about GAO-ITB RTS. A year ago I performed my observation with this 8 inch aperture telescope. Ah, those days, my observation nights.... At that place, a year ago.... Setahun kemarin.... A sweet song performed by Kahitna.... Di ujung jalan itu setahun kemarin.... A line of message from **d** .... hik's hik's. I wish you enough.

Di ujung jalan itu
Setahun kemarin
Ku teringat,
Ku menunggumu bidadari belahan jiwaku

Entah berapa lama, satu jam menanti
Ku termenung,
Kencan pertama hilang tak bertepi di anganku

Melangkah pergi berteman sepi
Berbayang teduh matamu

Sayang, walau Bulan tak bercahaya
Cintaku selalu dalam jiwa
Di lubuk hati terdalam

Sayang, jika memang kau sungguh sayang
Diriku takkan berpaling lagi
Kupeluk selamanya

By request of a friend....

Bagiku sendiri.... Sunrise itu lagu kenangan waktu ultah ke-23. Abis mandi sore, begitu keluar kamar mandi, sebutir telur menimpaku kemudian disambut dengan taburan tepung dan guyuran air. Selamat ulang tahuuuuuun! Dasar, anak-anak kos yang kelewat ceria! Tunggu pembalasankuuu! Ihik, sebenarnya, dengan caranya sendiri mereka memperhatikanku kan dan aku merasa mereka seperti sunrise yang menyemangati *halah*. Kalau dari segi lirik sih memang nggak nyambung hehehe.

Kalau Come Away With Me.... rasanya pernah terjadi seperti ini:
cowok: Wah, sorry banget, gue harus pergi ke bengkel nih. Mbenerin mobil. cewek:Yaaah... Ya udah deh. Hati-hati ya.
cowok: Sebenarnya juga males sih. Soekarno-Hatta kan jam segini macet-macetnya. Mana panas lagi.
cewek: Kalau macet dengerin Come Away With Me deh biar nyaman.
cowok: Hahaha, malah tidur kali.
cewek: Yeee.
cowok: Udah dulu ya. Bye!

Orang itu sekarang dimana ya? Apa kabar? :p

Maunya ngupload gending jawa mengingat aku ini kan orang jawa, tapi nggak nemu hehehe.
Grow Old With You manis ya meski lugas? Atau justru karena lugas itu jadi lebih terasa manis ya?
Ada satu lagi sebenarnya, I do (Cherish You)-nya 98 Degrees, tapi nguploadnya susah sekali....Dari tadi koneksi naik turun dan semakin turun *sigh*.

From This Moment On

(I do swear that I’ll aways be there. I’d give anything and everything and I will always care. through weakness and strength, happiness and sorrow, for better or worse, I will love you with every beat of my heart.)

From this moment life has begun
From this moment you are the one
Right beside you is where I belong
From this moment on

From this moment I have been blessed
I live only for your happiness
And for your love I’d give my last breath
From this moment on

I give my hand to you with all my heart
Can’t wait to live my life with you, can’t wait to start
You and I will never be apart
My dreams came true because of you

From this moment as long as I live
I will love you, I promise you this
There is nothing I wouldn’t give
From this moment on

You’re the reason I believe in love
And you’re the answer to my prayers from up above
All we need is just the two of us
My dreams came true because of you

From this moment as long as I live
I will love you, I promise you this
From this moment
I will love you as long as I live
From this moment on
-------------------------------
Grow Old WithYou

I wanna make you smile whenever you're sad
Carry you around when your arthritis is bad
All I wanna do is grow old with you

I'll get your medicine when your tummy aches
Build you a fire if the furnace breaks
Oh it could be so nice, growing old with you

I'll miss you
Kiss you
Give you my coat when you are cold

Need you
Feed you
Even let ya hold the remote control

So let me do the dishes in our kitchen sink
Put you to bed if you've had too much to drink
I could be the man who grows old with you
I wanna grow old with you
-------------------------------------

Musim hujan... sendu... tapi nggak usah muram begitu.... mari kita melagu *halah*

Minggu pagi, begitu membuka mata terdengar musik rintik hujan. Jadi pengen nerusin tidur deh hehehe. Ouh, jadi ingat Maroon 5, "Sunday Morning rain is falling....". Kalau hujan, jadi ingat siapa hayoo? Lady Rain?

There were times when the sky would bring me nothing
except the smell of the rain at summertime
So I left my window open just to let you come inside
Saying that you'd never leave me was a lie

Well, there were times that my eyes were filled with water
but all the world was desert dry
So I hugged my pillow closer and I tried to close my eyes
but the sound of distant thunder made me cry

Lady Rain, I heard you at my window
Lady Rain, I need you softly falling on my face
Why did the sunshine come and take you away?
I'd wait for you again, my Lady Rain

I hear the sound of her breathing in the darkness
and autumn rain can turn to snow in the night
I'll be sleeping this September, but I'll leave the fire light
just in case you feel like coming 'round again

And late at night, when you pour down on me
You're just in time to wash all the tears away

Kalau saya ingatnya Jamie Culllum soalnya dia seperti ngajak bergembira di bawah hujan. "I'm singing in the rain, just singing in the rain. What a glorious feeling, I'm happy again." Hehehe. Are you happy in this gloomy weather? Yang di Jakarta mungkin nggak ya soalnya kebanjiran. Mudah-mudahan cepat surut. Amiin.

Goodbye My Lover ngingetin aku sama Trimus Kontjret Djambrong, si astronom sableng. Bukan karena dia matahin hatiku (amit-amit!!!) melainkan karena itu lagu patah hatinya waktu putus dari A**.

Ratna : [status YM: u're beautiful, u're beautiful, it's true... ceuk James Blunt]
Trimus: Weeh, suka lagu James Blunt juga
Ratna : Iya, enakeun
Trimus: Gue suka Goodbye My Lover
dst... dst... Trimus meratapi putusnya hubungan dia dengan A**.

Niat ng-upload lagu ini karena kemarin (Minggu, 28/01) nonton James Blunt di Oprah Show. Dia membawakan lagu ini dengan penuh penghayatan diiringi piano. Setelah itu,
Oprah : ... "I'm so hollow...", rasanya benar-benar seperti ada lubang di.... OH, astaga! Dari mana kamu dapat kata-kata ini?
Blunt : I don't know. Sepertinya kata-kata itu pas saja.

Ck, ck, ck... benar-benar dari hati rupanya, nggak pake mikir.

Dengan langgam yang berbeda, Hole in My Soul yang dibawakan Aerosmith mengusung kepiluan yang sama intensitasnya.

There's a hole in my soul
That's been killing me forever
It's a place where a garden never grows
There's a hole in my soul
Yeah, I should have known better
'Cause your love's like a thorn without a rose

Patah hati memang pedih, jendrrrrraaaaaallllll :p

Aku baru tahu kalau OST-nya serial Twin Peak itu judulnya Falling hehehe. Yang paling kuingat dari Twin Peak yaa si agen FBI yang ganteng itu xixixi. Nggak deng, karakter tokoh-tokohnya yang aneh. Serial ini aku tungguin tiap malem minggu pas jaman aku masih SD. Musiknya bikin merinding ternyata liriknya.... heheheh

Dont let yourself be hurt this time.
Dont let yourself be hurt this time.

Then I saw your face
Then I saw your smile

The sky is still blue
The clouds come and go
Yet something is different
Are we falling in love?

Dont let yourself be hurt this time.
Dont let yourself be hurt this time.

Then your kiss so soft
Then your touch so warm

The stars still shine bright
The mountains still high
Yet something is different
Are we falling in love?

Falling
Falling
Are we falling in love?

Nah, kalau yang Return to Innocent. Keren nih. Aku ingat video klipnya yang serba terbalik (kayak Scientist-nya Coldplay). Jaman itu, aku masih SD juga - mana ngerti bahasa Inggris - cuma ngeh dengan musik dan oeaeo-nya. Aku naksir unicorn di video klipnya heheheh. Setelah gede, sekarang, aku baru tahu kalau liriknya bagoooooosssssssss: dalem (IMHO).

That's not the beginning of the end
That's the return to yourself
The return to innocence.

Love - devotion
Feeling - emotion

Love - devotion
Feeling - emotion

Dont be afraid to be weak
Dont be too proud to be strong
Just look into your heart my friend
That will be the return to yourself
The return to innocence

If you want, then start to laugh
If you must, then start to cry
Be yourself dont hide
Just believe in destiny

Don't care what people say
Just follow your own way
Don't give up and use the chance
To return to innocence

That's not the beginning of the end
That's the return to yourself
The return to innocence

Don't care what people say
Follow just your own way
Follow just your own way
Don't give up, dont give up
To return, to return to innocence.
If you want then laugh
If you must then cry
Be yourself dont hide
Just believe in destiny

Don’t give up
It’s just the weight of the world
When your heart’s heavy, I
I will lift it for you
Don’t give up
Because you want to be heard
If silence keeps you, I
I will break it for you

Everybody wants to be understood
Well I can hear you
Everybody wants to be loved
Don’t give up
Because you are loved

Don’t give up
It’s just the hurt
That you hide
When you’re lost inside, I
I’ll be there to find you

Don’t give up
Because you want to burn bright
If darkness blinds you I
I will shine to guide you

Everybody wants to be understood
Well I can hear you
Everybody wants to be loved
Don’t give up
Because you are loved

You are loved

Don’t give up
It’s just the weight of the world

Don’t give up
Everyone needs to be loved

You are loved

Untuk menyambut Hari Ibu hehehe, padahal masih lama. Nggak pa-pa kan, toh ucapan terima kasih kepada Ibu itu tidak kenal waktu dan ucapan terima kasih saja jauh dari cukup. Karena yang membawakan itu Il Divo, dengan warna-warna opera gitu deh, kedengarannya lebih syahdu (nggak juga kali ya, yang penting penghayatannya tho?)

Mama thank you for who I am
Thank you for all the things I'm not
Forgive me for the words unsaid
And for the times
I forgot

Mama remember all my life
You showed me love,you sacrificed
Think of those young and early days
How I've changed
Along the way (along the way)

And I know you believed
And I know you had dreams
And I'm sorry it took all this time to see
That I am where I am because of your truth
And I miss you , I miss you

Mama forgive the times you cried
Forgive me for not making right
All of the storms I may have caused
And I've been wrong
Dry your eyes (dry your eyes)

Mama I hope this makes you smile
I hope you're happy with my life
At peace with every choice I made
How I've changed
Along the way (along the way)

Cause I know you believed in all of my dreams
And I owe it all to you, mama

Mind Trick

I missed the opportunity
To get you babe to stay with me
Never thought, I'd regret the excuses that I've made
Like a song, it will fade.

If there's music in the night
And it's really, really right
It's the only thing I need
It intoxicates your mind
All your troubles left behind
So come on and take my lead
It’s not just me who feels it
Music plays a mind trick
Watch me forget about missing you.

So I put my feelings out to dry
Love, one day again
I'll have to try
Falling out, making up
It seems such a silly game
Why do I never gain.

If there's music in the night
And it's really, really right
It's the only thing I need
It intoxicates your mind
All your troubles left behind
So come on and take my lead
It’s not just me who feels it
Music plays a mind trick
Watch me forget about missing you

Ha-ha-ha *tertawa garing*
Beginilah nasib twentysomething yang lulus kuliah (akhirnya!), nyari kerja tapi nggak sreg, haus tatih tayang tapi apa daya menjomblo nista >.< Tapi saya pribadi setuju dengan mas jamie culun ini: Love ain’t the answer nor is work

After years of expensive education,
a car full of books and anticipation,
I’m an expert on Shakespeare and that’s a hell of a lot but the world don't need scholars as much as I thought.

Maybe I'll go travelling for a year,
finding myself or start a career.
I could work for the poor though I’m hungry for fame
we all seem so different but we're just the same.

Maybe I'll go to the gym, so I don't get fat,
aren't things more easy with a tight six pack?
Who knows the answers? Who do you trust?
I can't even separate love from lust.

Maybe I’ll move back home and pay off my loans,
working nine to five answering phones.
Don't make me live for my friday nights,
drinking eight pints and getting in fights.

I don't want to get up, just let me lie in,
leave me alone, I'm a twenty something.

Maybe I'll just fall in love that could solve it all,
philosophers say that that’s enough,
there surely must be more. Ooooh

Love ain’t the answer nor is work,
the truth eludes me so much it hurts.
But I’m still having fun and I guess that's the key,
I'm a twenty something and I'll keep being me.

doh dah duh dah, do duh dah dah dah
doh dah duh dah, do duh dah dah dah
doh dah duh dah, do duh dah dah dah
doh dah duh dah, do duh dah dah dah

I’m a twenty something.
Let me lie in, Leave me alone.
I’m a twenty something.

doh dah duh dah, do duh dah dah dah
doh dah duh dah, do duh dah dah dah
doh dah duh dah, do duh dah dah dah
doh dah duh dah, do duh dah dah dah

Nah, ini, lagu yang saya suuuuuuuuka. Setiap kali mendengar, rasanya ada rindu yang menyusup. Setiap kali menikmati musik dan liriknya saya ingin pulang ke "rumah", bukan sekedar rumah. Home. You.

Another summer day
Has come and gone away
In Paris or Rome
But I wanna go home
Mmmmmmmm

May be surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel all alone
Just wanna go home
Oh I miss you, you know

And I’ve been keeping all the letters that I wrote to you
Each one a line or two
“I’m fine baby, how are you?”
Well I would send them but I know that it’s just not enough
My words were cold and flat
And you deserve more than that

Another aeroplane
Another sunny place
I’m lucky I know
But I wanna go home
Mmmm, I gotta go home

Let me go home
I’m just too far from where you are
I wanna come home

And I feel just like I’m living someone else’s life
It’s like I just stepped outside
When everything was going right
And I know just why you could not come along with me
This was not your dream
But you always believed in me

Another winter day has come
And gone away
In even Paris and Rome
And I wanna go home
Let me go home

And I’m surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel alone
Let me go home
Oh, I miss you, you know

Let me go home
I’ve had my run
Baby, I’m done
I gotta go home
Let me go home
It'll all be alright
I’ll be home tonight
I’m coming back home
