I’m back! Maaf kalo saya jarang ngepost sesuatu, College is
really make my day so busy. Gausah banyak bacot, kali ini saya mau review lagu
favorit saya atm, Piece by Piece nya Mrs Kelly Clarkson.
Tau American Idol? Tau dong pastinya. Tahun ini merupakan tahun
terakhir buat American Idol, artinya abis season ini AI ga bakal tayang lagi!
So sad, I really love this show, they always give us great artist! One of those
is Kelly Clarkson, first winner of American Idol.
Beberapa minggu kemarin, Kelly sempet tampil di American
Idol (babak top ten kalo gasalah, CMIIW). Kelly nyanyi versi stripped-down dari
latest single, Piece by Piece. Performance ini langsung jadi omongan di US karena penampilan Kelly yang emosional
sampe nangis dan sempet pause buat nyanyi. Para penonton dan peserta AI pun
sama sama mewek, even Keith Urban,the judges is crying too. After the show,
lagu ini langsung loncat ke posisi no 1 di iTunes, padahal tadinya lagu ini
betah ngedekem di posisi bawah. So, apa sih istimewanya lagu ini?
Well, saya mau sok
tau dan cerita sedikit nih. Jadi, childhoodnya Kelly Clarkson tuh bener bener
kelam. Di umur yang ke enam ( seumuran anak Ibtidaiyah ), Ayah dan Ibu nya
Kelly cerai dan Ayah ninggalin Kelly kecil tanpa sempat membangun hubungan yang
baik antara anak dan bapak. Trus keluarganya bercerai berai, Abangnya ikut
bapaknya ( CMIIW ), Tetehnya ikut gatau siapa. Yang jelas Kelly admitted that
she had bad relationship with her father, and never called him again for few
years.
Cerita masa lalu Kelly emang sedih dan sempet Kelly tuangin
(kopi kali) ke lagunya yang populer, Because of You. Nah, lagu Piece by Piece
ini punya makna yang sama kaya Because of You, bisa dibilang sekuelnya, but
with Happy Ending. Coba simak liriknya, dan kalo memungkinkan, bakal saya
pahami biar kerasa feelnya.
And
all I remember is your back
Walking towards the airport, leaving us all in your past
I traveled fifteen hundred miles to see you
Begged you to want me, but you didn't want to
But piece by piece he collected me
Up off the ground where you abandoned things, yeah
Piece by piece he filled the holes
That you burned in me at six years old
And you know,
He never walks away
He never asks for money,
He takes care of me
He loves me
Piece by piece he restored my faith
That a man can be kind and a father could... stay
And all of your words fall flat
I made something of myself and now you wanna come back
But your love—it isn't free, it has to be earned
Back then I didn't have anything you needed so I was worthless
But piece by piece he collected me
Up off the ground, where you abandoned things, yeah
Piece by piece he filled the holes
That you burned in me at six years old
And you know,
He never walks away
He never asks for money,
He takes care of me
'Cause he loves me
Piece by piece he restored my faith
That a man can be kind and a father could stay
Piece by piece [6x]
Piece by piece I fell far from the tree
I will never leave her like you left me
And she will never have to wonder her worth
Because unlike you I'm going to put her first
And you know,
He'll never walk away,
He'll never break her heart
He'll take care of things,
He'll love her
And piece by piece he'll restore my faith
That a man can be kind and a father should be great
Piece by piece [3x]

Di verse pertama dan kedua (sebelum reff) Kelly cerita kalau
ayahnya abandoned her, mulai dari pergi ninggalin keluarga, perpisahan mereka
di bandara. Trus Kelly bela-belain pergi bermil-mil jauhnya buat liat bapaknya
eh bapaknya malah gamau liat dia. Sampai Kelly udh gede pun bapaknya tetep ga
nganggep Kelly, admitted that Kelly ga punya sesuatu yang worth makanya
bapaknya ga nganggep dia apa-apa. Sedih ga? Apa saya yang ceritanya kurang
sedih?. Nah pas di reff, ada contrary antara reff dan verse, di Reff Kelly
cerita kalau dia sudah menemukan ‘right man’ yaitu suaminya yang jadi imam
hidupnya (bhaaaak) yang ga pernah ninggalin dia ama anaknya, yang ga sepertinya
bapaknya dulu. Intinya, suaminya itu ‘a father that should be great’.
Ada 3 versi buat lagu ini, Versi album, single ama idol. Buat
versi yang album, ini versi yang pertama keluar dan sedikit ngebeat pop rock
ala-ala Kelly, enak sih kerasa emosinya apalagi ada background2 opera string
begitu. Trus muncul versi single yang Radio mix. Ini versi paling aneh, beatnya
ala-ala EDM gitu. Emosi yang disampein di lagu ini malah jadi luntur kaya nyuci
baju item pake pemutih. Worst version ajalah. Nah buat versi yang Idol memang
versi favorit, just accompanied by piano as background instrument. It shows
Kelly’s vulnerability and showcase her emotion on this song. Ampe juri-juri
Idol aja ampe mewek kabeh.
Okeh sekian saya juga pegel ngetiknya. Bye.
love this song, especially the idol version
ReplyDeletesuka lagu ini cm versi idol aja, yg versi lain kurang cocok sama lagunya karena emang lagunya bikin mewek
