I sometimes think that I have to produce some new 'works' instead of spending most of time browsing on the internet. But it's alright. So this is a good song (one of) that I come up with :
The Paper Kites adalah salah satu band Indie favorit saya yang berasal dari Melbourne, Australia. Lagu berjudul 'Paint' adalah salah satu lagu dari band diatas yang mengisi playlist saya selain Bloom, Featherstone, Woodland, dan Arms. Their mellow music and beautiful harmonies are so calming. Kebanyakan lagu-lagu di playlist saya memang musik calming semacam itu. Orang-orang yang mendengar kebanyakan pasti langsung menilai 'pasti sering ko galau toh.' (yeah, kebanyakan!) tapi tidak, tidak pemirsa ! Mungkin emang iya sih lagu-lagu tersebut yang menguatkan perasaan biru di dalam hati. Tapi menurut saya, lagu-lagu tersebut yang justru malah membuka pikiran. It makes us feel relax. Tapi teteup, liriknya memang dalem. Gak tau deh itu lirik atau sumur.
Here's the lyric :
We were trying, but we're trying no more
It's cold on the floor, cold on the floor
This house has never been the same as before
It's never felt warm, never felt warm
It's cold on the floor, cold on the floor
This house has never been the same as before
It's never felt warm, never felt warm
There's something moving through the windows and walls
I've seen it before, seen it before
You left me living with a lingering soul,
how little you know, how little you know
We were standing at the foot of a path
I had to go back, had to go back
I chose to travel as a lonely man
So much that I lacked, so much that I lacked
I'm always wishing I was walking that road
It's something I hold, something I hold
I take it with me all the places I go
How little you know, how little you know
I only eat to fill me up
I only sleep to rest
I need a love just like you gave
I haven't found it yet, found it yet
See where I am is where I'm wanting to be,
I know what I need, know what I need
And there are many different places to see
I know how to dream, know how to dream
Still there's a wound and I'm moving slow
Though it don't show, though it don't show
I've got a hole where nothing grows,
How little you know little you know
I only eat to fill me up
I only sleep to rest
I need a love just like you gave
I haven't found it yet, found it yet
Maybe we'd marry and we'd work it out fine,
In some other time, some other time
And we are happy when I'm walking that line,
It's all in my mind, all in my mind
I paint the ceiling so that nobody knows
I cover it slow, cover it slow
It's like you've never even met me before,
How little I show, little I show
I guess the song is about someone who is feeling incomplete after had a break-up. yeah, sedih pemirsa. Saya juga punya lagu yang memiliki substansi yang tidak jauh beda dengan lagu diatas. Noah and The Whale - Our Window, atau Isbells - Time's Ticking. Lagunya agak-agak NYESSS. Lebih NYESSS lagi saat didengarkan ketika dini hari pas lagi gak bisa tidur. Jadi kalo lagi gak bisa tidur mending kita baca surah-surah pendek aja ya pemirsa. Oke, bismillah...

Okay, okay. Sebelum kalian semua berfikir 'ih sedih-sedihnya lagunya Nicha..' atau 'ini Nicha mellow nya anaknya..' atau lagi 'ndak salah kalau Nicha suka duduk sendiri di pojokan..' you better throw those kind of thoughts out of your mind ! Instead of 'lagu mellow', saya lebih suka menyebutnya lagu keren, karena suara penyanyinya yang memang keren dan liriknya yang magical. They're still not-mewek-able-songs i got in my playlist.

Sebenarnya masih banyak sih lagu-lagu keren yang saya tau tapi gak saya simpan di playlist. Yah bukan berarti karena saya gak punya lagunya jadi saya otomatis gak tau atau gak hapal. Banyaaak banget lagu yang saya hapal diluar kepala tapi kenyataannya di handphone saya gak punya lagunya.Yah, sama kayak cinta. Bukan berarti karena kita gak pernah nyebut-nyebut orangnya, lantas orang itu gak ada dalam pikiran kita atau kita gak tau tentang orang itu. hahahahaahhahahahahaha *ketawasampegila.
Siapa tau masih butuh lagu-lagu lain, feel free to ask. :p
