Song of the Week ( 10 - 16 May 2010 )

IT WON'T BE LIKE THIS FOR LONG
performed by : Darius Rucker

Lagu ini seakan membuat kita harus menghargai setiap momen-momen indah yang ada dalam hidup ini, karena, momen- momen tersebut tak akan bertahan lama dan akhirnya hanya akan menjadi memori yang pada akhirnya akan terlupakan. Karena lagu ini diciptakan oleh seorang ayah dan suami, lagu ini berputar pada masalah anak dan setiap cerita yang ada pada setiap masanya. Cerita dan momen-momen itu berhasil tertuang dalam untaian lagu Country yang luar biasa menyentuh dengan penghayatan Darius Rucker yang dalam. One of the best song that i've ever heard...

Lirik :

He didn't have to wake up
He'd been up all night
Lying there in bed and listening
To his newborn baby cry
He makes a pot of coffee
He splashes water on his face
His wife gives him a kiss and says,
"It's gonna be okay"

"It won't be like this for long
One day we'll look back laughing
At the week we brought her home
This phase is gonna fly by
So baby, just hold on
It won't be like this for long"

Four years later, 'bout 4:30
She's crawling in their bed
And when he drops her off at pre-school
She's clinging to his leg
The teacher peels her off of him
He says, "What can I do?"
She says, "Now, don't you worry
This'll only last a week or two"

"It won't be like this for long
One day soon you'll drop her off
And she won't even know you're gone
This phase is gonna fly by
If you can just hold on
It won't be like this for long"

Someday soon she'll be a teenager
And at times, he'll think she hates him
And he'll walk her down the aisle
And raise her veil,
But right now she's up and cryin'
And the truth is that he don't mind
As he kisses her goodnight
And she says her prayers

He lays down there beside her
Till her eyes are finally closed
And just watching her it breaks his heart
'Cause he already knows

It won't be like this for long
One day soon that little girl is gonna be
All grown up and gone
And this phase is gonna fly by
So he's trying to hold on
It won't be like this for long
It won't be like this for long

Country Music Takes Over My Heart

We know, every single person has a dream to be realize. So, begitu juga yang terjadi dengan diriku. Aku memiliki banyak mimpi, seperti ; to be an actor, to be a singer, to be a painter, to be a writer, to be, to be , to be , and to be. Tapi, sekarang satu yang benar- benar ingin aku wujudkan, be a singer. Kecintaanku sama musik barat memberi influence tersendiri bagiku. John Mayer sempat mempengaruhiku dalam genre Pop-Blues- Soft Rock- nya. Begitu pula dengan Adele,Duffy, dan Amy Winehouse dengan genre Soul-nya yang awesome. Tapi, samapai sekarang belum ada satu pun genre musik yang bisa membuatku sampai merenung dan ceria begitu dalam selain musik Country. Pertama kali, penyanyi yang membuatku alert dengan genre satu ini adalah Taylor Swift, Country Singer yang lagi booming dengan lagu - lagu Country Pop -nya yang ear catchy. Tapi, setelah mengenal musik Country dengan lebih dalam melalui lagu - lagu tekenal semacam, ' Not Ready To Make Nice' dari Dixie Chicks, 'Breathe' dari Faith Hill, 'Stay' dari Sugarland, dan 'Please Read The Letter' dari Robert Plant & Alison Krauss , aku mulai melihat bahwa musik Country memiliki sesuatu yang lebih, sesuatu yang tidak dimiliki genre musik lainnya ; musik Country seakan memiliki jiwa dalam setiap untaian nada dan liriknya yang dalam.

Tayangan The Oprah Winfrey Show beberapa waktu lalu membuatku semakin cinta sama musik Conutry. Bagaimana tidak, dalam acara itu tak pelak Oprah menghadirkan 5 musisi Country sekaligus, yaitu ; Kenny Chesney, Carrie Underwood, Darius Rucker, dan duo maut Sugarland. Diawali dengan penampilan Kenny Chesney yang memukau serta liputan persiapan panggungnya saat akan menggelar konser, lalu dolanjutkan dengan penampilan karismatik dari seorang Carrie Underwood dengan lagu 'Just A Dream' , setelahnya Darius Rucker, penyanyi Country yang juga vokali Hootie And The Blowfish ini menyanyikan ' It Won't Be Like This For Long' yang sangat menyentuh dan mengharukan. Statement Darius saat diwawancarai Oprah tentang penyanyi Country yang selalu menyanyi dan menciptakan sebuah lagu dengan hati yang terdalam aku iyakan, karena that's really the truth for me. 'Konser Kecil - kecilan ' itu ditutup dengan duo Sugarland yang memberikan nuansa ceria ke dalam seisi studio saat membawakan 'All I Want To Do' yang benar-benar ear-catchy.

Karena tayangan tersebut, aku makin berkesan terhadapku. Now, i think my choice is right. Musik Country sudah membekas terlalu dalam more than anything... So, i'll take my part and sing Country Song well soon... I'm promise...

FEARLESS
performed by: Taylor Swift

Full of energy, and sweet, it's 'Fearless' ! Sesuai judul lagunya, 'Fearless' mengalun tanpa rasa takut dan penuh semangat khas remaja, serta, berhasil menyajikan sajian musik yang ear catchy dalam tema percintaannya yang selalu dan selalu terdengar segar. Liriknya pun sangat atraktif dan Taylor Swift sukses membawakan lagu ini dengan sangat cool . And , it's really interesting, very entertaining, it's 'Fearless'...

Lirik:

There's somethin' 'bout the way the street looks when it's just rained
There's a glow off the pavement, you walk me to the car
And you know I wanna ask you to dance right there
In the middle of the parking lot, yeah

We're drivin' down the road, I wonder if you know
I'm tryin' so hard not to get caught up now
But you're just so cool, run your hands through your hair
Absent-mindedly makin' me want you

And I don't know how it gets better than this
You take my hand and drag me headfirst, fearless
And I don't know why but with you I dance
In a storm in my best dress, fearless

So baby drive slow 'til we run out of road
In this one horse town, I wanna stay right here
In this passenger seat, you put your eyes on me
In this moment, now capture it, remember it

'Cause I don't know how it gets better than this
You take my hand and drag me headfirst, fearless
And I don't know why but with you I'd dance
In a storm in my best dress, fearless

Well, you stood there with me in the doorway
My hands shake, I'm not usually this way
But you pull me in and I'm a little more brave
It's the first kiss, it's flawless, really somethin'
It's fearless

'Cause I don't know how it gets better than this
You take my hand and drag me headfirst, fearless
And I don't know why but with you I'd dance
In a storm in my best dress, fearless

'Cause I don't know how it gets better than this
You take my hand and drag me headfirst, fearless
And I don't know why but with you I'd dance
In a storm in my best dress, fearless

WHITE HORSE
performed by: Taylor Swift

Sweet but it hurts. Itulah yang namanya cinta dan hal itu pula lah yang terkandung dalam lagu satu ini. Setiap liriknya seakan merefleksikan heartache dengan cara tenang serta dalam, namun, manis dalam balutan Country Pop yang selalu terdengar segar. Satu lagi, this is the one of Taylor Swift 's best song...

Lirik:

Say you're sorry, that face of an angel
Comes out just when you need it to
As I paced back and forth all this time
Cause I honestly believed in you

Holding on, the days drag on
Stupid girl, I should have known
I should have known

I'm not a princess, this ain't a fairy tale
I'm not the one you'll sweep off her feet
Lead her up the stairwell

This ain't Hollywood, this is a small town
I was a dreamer before you went and let me down
Now it's too late for you and your white horse, to come around

Baby I was naive, got lost in your eyes
And never really had a chance
I had so many dreams about you and me
Happy endings, now I know

I'm not a princess, this ain't a fairy tale
I'm not the one you'll sweep off her feet
Lead her up the stairwell

This ain't Hollywood, this is a small town
I was a dreamer before you went and let me down
Now it's too late for you and your white horse, to come around

And there you are on your knees
Begging for forgiveness, begging for me
Just like I always wanted but I'm so sorry

Cause I'm not your princess, this ain't a fairytale
I'm gonna find someone someday who might actually treat me well
This is a big world, that was a small town
There in my rearview mirror disappearing now

And its too late for you and your white horse
Now its too late for you and your white horse, to catch me now

Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa
Try and catch me now
Oh, it's too late to catch me now
