Coldplay

Coldplay pertama kali menarik perhatianku dengan lagu Yellow. Aku sedang keranjingan film Meteor Garden sama seperti hampir semua anak ABG jaman itu dan aku memutuskan untuk beli kaset Ost. Meteor Garden pakai uang hadiah ulang tahun. Aku masih ingat uang yang berharga itu cuma kubelikan kaset. Kakakku langsung ngomel-ngomel. Maklum, orientasi penggunaan uang-ku saat itu tidak se-dewasa sekarang. Kurasa.

Entah kenapa perasaanku saat mendengarkan lagu Yellow itu seperti bingung. "Look at the star, look how they shine for you. And all the things you, yeah they were all yellow". Liriknya simpel bahkan terkesan malas mikir. Singkatnya, saat itu aku berpikir coldplay cuma grup band sinting.

Sekian lama aku melupakan coldplay, akhirnya lewat musik di handphone kakakku aku bertemu lagi dengannya. Speed of sound. Pertama dengar langsung cinta. Itulah misteri kehidupanku yang aku sendiri nggak tahu baik atau buruk. Aku suka jatuh cinta pada kesan pertama. Musik, Buku, Baju, Sepatu, Some People, Some Place.
Sedikit-sedikit aku mulai mengumpulkan lagu-lagu coldplay. Ya, band yang dulu kuanggap sinting itu. Clock, Speed of sound, Yellow, Viva la Vida, Fix you.
Aku merasa sebagian lirik itu sangat mengena. Bahkan saat-saat ini.
"When you try your best but you dont succeed. When you get what you want but not what you need...." Persis! ".. Light will guide you home and ignite your bones. and I will try to fix you"
Perasaanku sudah jauhhh lebih baik sekarang jadi kupersembahkan lagu coldplay ini pada kalian yang mungkin sedang merasakan hal yang sama seperti aku. mungkin lagu ini bisa menyembuhkan kalian juga.

"Fix You"

When you try your best, but you don't succeed
When you get what you want, but not what you need
When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse

And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone, but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

And high up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

Tears stream down on your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down on your face
And on your face I...

Tears stream down on your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down on your face
And on your face I...

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you


"Speed Of Sound"

How long before I get in?
Before it starts, before I begin?
How long before you decide?
Before I know what it feels like?
Where To, where do I go?
If you never try, then you'll never know.
How long do I have to climb,
Up on the side of this mountain of mine?

Look up, I look up at night,
Planets are moving at the speed of light.
Climb up, up in the trees,
every chance that you get,
is a chance you seize.
How long am I gonna stand,
with my head stuck under the sand?
I'll start before I can stop,
before I see things the right way up.

All that noise, and all that sound,
All those places I got found.
And birds go flying at the speed of sound,
to show you how it all began.
Birds came flying from the underground,
if you could see it then you'd understand?

Ideas that you'll never find,
All the inventors could never design.
The buildings that you put up,
Japan and China all lit up.
The sign that I couldn't read,
or a light that I couldn't see,
some things you have to believe,
but others are puzzles, puzzling me.

All that noise, and all that sound,
All those places I got found.
And birds go flying at the speed of sound,
to show you how it all began.
Birds came flying from the underground,
if you could see it then you'd understand,
ah when you see it then you'll understand?

All those signs, I knew what they meant.
Some things you can invent.
Some get made, and some get sent,
Ooh?
Birds go flying at the speed of sound,
to show you how it all began.
Birds came flying from the underground,
if you could see it then you'd understand,
ah, when you see it then you'll understand?
