Me Me and Me :)

Lagu ini judulnya, stars by switchfoot. Gue suka banget sama switchfoot waktu pertama kali denger lagunya mereka yang judulnya 'Gone'. Liriknya asal, nyanyi'innya males, tapi sebenarnya dalem.

Waktu itu, gue iseng search music-nya switchfoot, and got a bunch (3 or 4 full albums) in one multiply site di orangepanda.multiply.com. It took like 3 days (or even 4?) for me to download all, but it pays off my time :)

Saat-saat sekarang, gue lagi pusing mikirin mau nulis apa *tumben kan lo, gue bisa pusing dalam menulis? hehehehe*, gue selalu dengerin lagu yang satu ini. Liriknya asik, relieving, and it pays off my tiredness. Sambil kerja denger'in lagu ini. Kalo' di rumah, lagi break di tengah-tengah kerja, gue juggling sambil dengerin lagu ini. It's fun, it's nice, it's me :)

Listen to it ;)

Here's the lyrics, taken from http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/switchfoot/stars.html

have a great life ;) cause your life is as great as mine :) *trust me ;)*

============================================

"Stars"

[verse 1]

Maybe I've been the problem, maybe I'm the one to blame
But even when I turn it off and blame myself, the outcome feels the same
I've been thinkin maybe I've been partly cloudy, maybe I'm the chance of rain
Maybe I'm overcast, and maybe all my lucks washed down the drain

[pre-chorus]

I've been thinking 'bout everyone, everyone you look so lonely

[chorus]

But when I look at the stars,
when I look at the stars,
when I look at the stars I see someone else

When I look at the stars,
the stars, I feel like myself

[verse 2]

Stars lookin at our planet watching entropy and pain
And maybe start to wonder how the chaos in our lives could pass as sane
I've been thinking bout the meaning of resistance, of a hope beyond my own
And suddenly the infinite and penitent begin to look like home

[pre-chorus]

I've been thinking bout everyone, everyone you look so empty

[chorus]

But when I look at the stars,
when I look at the stars,
when I look at the stars I see someone else

When I look at the stars,
the stars, I feel like myself

[bridge]

everyone, everyone we feel so lonely
everyone, yeah everyone we feel so empty

[chorus]

When I look at the stars,
when I look at the stars,
when I look at the stars I feel like myself

When I look at the stars, the stars
I see someone...

Ini sebenarnya lagu RPM (gue suka banget kelas yang satu ini :D). But it's deep, and i like it very much :) cukup untuk membuat gue duduk, diam dan berpikir :D

Lagu ini ngingetin gue sama masa-masa gue RPM (cycling class at the gym). Gue suka banget sama kelas RPM. Denger lagu ini, inget kelas RPM, a class that can make me closing my eyes, membayangkan laut biru dan deburan ombak yang memecah di tepian while gue sepedahan :)

indah kan yah? :P

Dengerin lagu ini nggak sengaja. But then, after gue denger lagu ini, gue berpikir bahwa gue bukan Superman (yang dengan bodohnya pake' celana dalem diluar). Which means.... yah... i'm not superman :D

Lagu ini adalah lagu yang selalu menginspirasi gue untuk tetap berjuang. Entah kenapa, gue emang (sebenarnya) adalah orang yang cukup nasionalis. Gampang banget nangis kalo' nyanyi lagu Indonesia Raya, Rayuan Pulau Kelapa dan sebangsanya.

Ini adalah lagu kesekian yang bisa membuat gue nangis, yang bisa ngebuat gue berpikir bahwa gue memang sangat mencintai negara gue yang satu ini, Indonesia. Terlepas dari segala keburukannya yang menjadi-jadi, Indonesia tetap adalah negara gue... yang tercinta... dan gue percaya, that the best is yet to come buat Indonesia... Amiiinnnn

This is one of old songs that inspired me a lot about the meaning of life and how i do have full right on dreaming and achieving my dreams. A guy from Surabaya once played this when i was down and he said that, "We should soar like eagles..." Just spread my wings and fly away, going up to the sun achieving every single dreams and desires i have in life...

Sometimes it is hard to believe, whether we could achieve it or not. But, there is nothing impossible especially when we believe :)
