Gara-gara beberapa waktu lalu saya bercerita kepada bapak ini mengenai lirik lagu seorang penyanyi remaja di masa saya, ehm, remaja juga, saya tergugah untuk menuliskannya kembali di blog saya. Selain karena semangat nostalgia kejayaan era itu, juga karena kata-kata dalam lagu ini yang menggelitik. Kebetulan dulu saya penggemar penyanyi yang membawakannya, Debbie Gibson, yang juga sang pencipta lagu. (Untunglah saya tidak terseret dalam arus gerakan mengumpulkan topi yang menjadi ciri khasnya!). Tapi tentunya waktu itu saya tidak begitu memahami makna lagu ini, dan akhir-akhir ini saja, setelah saya menyanyikannya kembali, saya baru tersadar bahwa lagu tersebut benar-benar menggambarkan karakter cinta remaja (Hushah! Cinta remaja! Aduhh...) yang impulsif dan mungkin patetik.
If I were an only child
I would be a lonely child
but baby we've got nothing to lose
I'm standing tall in my own shoes
I'll take this chance
I'll make this choice
I'll right this wrong
I'll raise my voice
if it means
We'll be together
for a while
I have never had a doubt
But for you I'll take time out
I'll push his love far away from me
and then I'll be completely free
I'll give up my security
for just the possibility
that we could be together
for a while
If you said "Jump!" I'd say "How high?"
If you said "Run!" I'd run and fly
Just for the chance
Just for the moment
Should the moment pass us by
and if you ask once I'll tell you twice
I'll ignore the world's advice
if we could be together
for a while
I am taken by your strength
I've thought about it at great length
I thought that I was happy now
but there are things that I found out
Happiness means greater things
I'll sit here 'til that telephone rings
then we could be together
for a while
Wait'll I tell my guy (wait'll I tell)
Wait'll I tell my other friends
They'll all think I'm crazy-
and ya know what?
That depends...
'cause I'm crazy in love
with you
and everyone's best won't do
They'll say my hopes
will not come true
But I'm taking the chance
Because you only live once-
Only live once (only live once)
There are no guarantees
but if it means
there's even a possibility
then I'll give up whatever it takes
I know I've made some mistakes before
It may be just another closed door
But we could be together
for a while
(We Could Be Together - Debbie Gibson)

satu lagi fenomena jaman remaja : kenapa yah kalo pas suka ama seseorang, seseorang itu ngga suka ama kita, terus pas ada seseorang yang suka ama kita, kita gantian yang ngga suka. huhu serasa dunia ini tidak adil hihihihi..
*ngelirik diari kelas 1 smp*
:p
Na: itu sih bukan fenomena remaja. Sampe sekarang juga gitu, hihihihi...
OMG, I love Debbie Gibson. I still keep her old cassettes somewhere in my teenagers shelf. And We Could Be Together is my favorite. Sure there's always Foolish Beat (??), Only in My Dream and what? What? I can't remember. Hahaha. Heran kenapa gue jadi euforia gini ya? =))
Ah Ellen, kau membawa kenangan lama nih. Mau cari ah lagu2 jadul Debbie Gibson buat di-download.
Girl: welcome to the club! I used to love her very much, and indeed, We Could Be Together was my favorite too!!! Of course honey, aside from Foolish Beat and Only In My Dreams, there are also the legendary Lost In Your Eyes, and Electric Youth (remember, there was a perfume line named after this, right?). I also loved Who Loves Ya Baby?, hehehe..
ehm ehm ehm ehm ehm... :)
Debbie Gibson.
denger2 dia ber-nudis-ria,yak?
Kalo emang gara2 cuaca, kegerahan, ga apa2 siiiih, tapi kalo itu soal "rating"...hmmm... Apa blunder si Jewel itu kurang, yak?
Naaak, yang bijak, yaaaa.
Saya tau kamu penggemar dia, dan ga apa2 kalo mengidolai seseorang. Tapi ga semua yg ada pada diri idola kamu itu harus ditiru bulat2,khan?
Di titik2 seperti inilah kamu akan membuktikan diri udah beranjak dewasa atau belum, udah bisa saya lepas menantang dunia atau belum..u..huk..u..huk.. Katanya kamu males dibilang anak2, pengen dianggap udah gedeee. Naaah, orang gede itu orang yg berani ga ikut2an pusaran arus.
(Hahahahahahahaha....sok bijaaaaakkk!!!! :D )
Daripada ngoleksi topi dan ikut2an pose nudis, ambil tuh gitar, ta' ajarin nyanyiin lagu Debbie Gibson yang "The Locomotion"
(Lho, itu khan punya Kyle?)
iya, yaaa???...hihihihihihihihi...
YPB, komen-nya ngawuurrrr, namanya ajah ngaraaanggg..... hahahahaha :D

Shake your love i just can't get enough
Apa kaga ada yang lain ?
It's true you can find it, live by it its next generation..it's electric youth
Mendingan juga artis yang sekarang masih ada dan produktif deh.
i don't mind not knowing what i'm headed for...you can take me to the sky
Sekian ajah dulu komentar saya
