Music Saves Me from Sorrow

Sebenarnya banyak musik bagus yang jadi pengaruh positif yang gw dengar beberapa waktu belakangan. Dan asli, mendengarkan Owl City itu bikin positif dan susah dendam. Malah cenderung bisa bersyukur buat hal-hal yang bahkan sepele sekalipun yang ngga pernah kita perhatikan. Menarik, tune yang membawa gw ke angan-angan dan lirik yang bahasanya sastra abis tapi cukup sederhana untuk dipahami. Contohnya kayak The Real World yang membukakan mata banget. Coba pelajari liriknya:

I saw the autumn leaves peel up off the street,

take wing on the balmy breeze and sweep you off your feet.

You blushed as they scooped you up on sugar maple wings, 

to gaze down on the city below, ablaze with wondrous things.

Downy feathers kiss your face and flutter everywhere.

Reality is a lovely place but I wouldn’t want to live there.

I wouldn’t wanna live there!

Weighed down by heavy lids and lunar lullabies,

I knew you were wide awake because you smile with your eyes.

Downy feathers kiss your face and flutter everywhere.

Reality is a lovely place but I wouldn’t want to live there.

From the green belt balcony, the wildfires look so pretty.

Ponderosa canopy, I’d never leave if it were up to me.

To the ruby redwood tree, and to the velvet climbing ivy:

painted all mahogany, I’d never leave if it were up to me.

..If it were up to me..

With a starry brush, paint the dusk venetian blue,

because in the evening hush, you’ll never believe the view.

And when the leaves return and their whisperings fill the night,

they’ll freeze and burn where fire and ice collide.

Can you feel a silk embrace in the satin air?

If we dissolve without a trace, will the real world even care?

Downy feathers kiss your face and flutter everywhere.

Reality is a lovely place but I wouldn’t want to live there.

I wouldn’t want to live there!

I saw the autumn leaves peel up off the street,

take wing on the balmy breeze and sweep you off your feet.

Liriknya bilang kalo realita itu tempat yang indah, tapi si Adam lebih memilih untuk tidak tinggal dalam kerumitan realita. Waktu seminggu gw sakit kemarin, lagu-lagu positifnya seakan memberi energi dan oksigen buat otak hang gw. Berasa dikasi tenaga dalam, gw jadi bisa bernafas lega. Dan gw bisa bilang, musik-musik bagus seperti ini menyelamatkan jiwa gw. Choose your own good music to live up your life, mates!
