Beberapa bulan ini cuma suara si Mraz yang gw dengerin, udah download macem2 albumnya, cari2 bootlegnya, sampe satu saat gw pas di kantor Menara Dea download album namanya Homemade, ini album akustikan semua, beneran homemade kali, sampe kadang suaranya kresek-kresek…
ada satu lagu, lagu terakhir judulnya Stranger in the Sky (Make Believe), ini lagu terngiang-ngiang banget di otak gw, disini nih gw dapet suaranya si Mraz yang paling sorrow yang pernah gw denger, beda banget sama suaranya di album2 mainstreamnya yang laen2, ada bbrp lagu sih yang typical suaranya kayak gini di album Homemade.
Sempet liat2 di songmeanings.net
cari2 kira2 maksudnya tuh lagu apaan, tapi masih kagak jelas juga, yaudah lah didengerin aja tanpa perlu tau maksudnya, tapi kayaknya sedih banget nih lagu, walopon ada satu bait dimana si Mraz mencoba menepis kesedihan itu *halah… begini nih liriknya
who i am
retort to toilet mouth
now louder answer
the firmest fist and kiss its
asked me again
how gameshow season never ends
the same old reason i won’t win
suspended in this animation
i could use a new vacation
namelessly the nameless and the faceless go to make up
tell me i’m not spending too much time on happy endings
and my life does not rely on how much love you might be lending me
above there’s so much i’m depending on remembering more instead
you send me door to door to have the family cat attack the stranger
back by popular demand
stand as you were
before you saw your parting gift in stores
you poured your empty heart in it but finished what you started
when you practiced and rehearsed
to find the god before he finds you first
in dirty words and poison dreams
like girls who flirt while boys are teens
you’re only asking for one thing
it’s never only make believe to me
tell me i’m not spending too much time on happy endings
and my life does not rely on how much love you might be lending me
above there’s so much i’m depending on remembering more instead of
war with me, myself, and i
i’m headed for the stranger in the sky
resort in paradise
now louder answer
the wish and kiss is good
gw seneng banget tuh 3 bait…
kalo perhatiin 3bait itu terutama bait terakhir, kayaknya sih itu tentang Tuhan…
atau apalah, tapi nih lagu buat sedih2an bagus juga hahahaha, apa coba?
