tadi siang, dari layar laptop, nampak bayangan anak kucel , kurus kering, hidup pula, sedang mengintip melalui jendela kamar.. ee si efnu brengsek..

ujug-ujug..

“brengsek!!! katanya sibuk?! ga taunya maennnn”, sial.. ga tau orang lagi puyeng apa… lagi ngilangin stress cuq!

langsung dia mengeluarkan sesuatu dari tasnya..

“cuq, nih quasimodo pesenan lo”

wahh.. langsung gw buka plastik pembungkus. cd tersebut dilindungi dengan kover yang terbuat dari karton. warnanya dominan hitam, gothic, namun artistik. di dalamnya terdapat dua stiker : satu stiker kecil bertuliskan quasimodo, dan satu lagi stiker berukuran kover yang disitu tertera logo “YAYASAN SAYAP IBU”, ternyata 10% dari pembelian cd ini disumbangkan kepada yayasan tersebut. how nice..

langsung gw keluarin cd audio, dan gw jalankan di laptop. play.. dan pertama kali yang gw dengar adalah rhytem session khas mew pada lagu she spider . wahhh.. mew sekali…, belum lagi vokalnya yang melengking.. mirip dengan jonas, padahal gw dikasih tahu si efnu kalau vokalnya ada cowok.

dari semua lagu yang gw dengar, overall 8/10. mungkin suasananya sedang tepat, gw lagi jenuh dengan jazz.. sehingga datangnya quasimodo sangat menjernihkan otak gw, dengan aliran musik yang berbeda tentunya.

total lagu hanya ada lima. kembali lagi, kalau kalian pernah dengar lagu-lagunya mew, mungkin sangat familiar dengan apa yang dibawa quasimodo. belum lagu for mom and dad yang berada di track keempat, mengingatkan gw dengan she came for christmas .

quasimodo yang gw denger dari si brengsek efnu adalah 10 besar finalis LA Lights indiefest 2007 wilayah yogyakarta. wahhh.. sebuah prestasi yang menganggumkan.. sayangnya, lagi-lagi kata efnu, untuk jenis musik selanjutanya, quasimodo akan cenderung memilih jenis musik pasaran.. ahhhh jangan.. sayang sekali, jangan mengikuti jejak kangen band, wali band atau apalah.. idealis bermusik kalian dong. jangan sampai “melacurkan” idealisme bermusik. kalau dana memang salah satu masalah, menurut gw, penggabungan indie label dan marketing via internet sangat menggiurkan. orang-orang di luar sana, gw yakin, jauh menghargai permainan musik kalian.

banyak jalan kok, tenang saja…

update : 20082008

ternyata cuman gosip belaka kalo quasimodo mau masuk ke jalur mainstream musik indonesia a.k.a ikut-ikutan musik pasaran

-> toosss buat quasimodo!!

i’m from barcelona, wah… dari nama bandnya kita sudah tertipu. band keroyokan yang jumlah personilnya sekampung ini ternyata dari swedia, negara asalnya ABBA. gw pertama kali dengar yang ‘oversleeping’ yang menjadi backsound di aliens in america episode 16. tertarik dengan liriknya yang been oversleeping on monday, i don’t care let’s pretend that it’s Sunday, ah.. post-modernisme sekali… , tidak terikat dengan waktu..

ini lirik lengkapnya,

Damn! Oversleeping again
Damn! I can’t believe I did it once again

I can make it in time
if I jump out of bed
if I skip to wear clothes
and get running instead
if I get on my feet
if I skip to hit snooze
if I don’t care to eat
and get running instead
I can make it in time

Been oversleeping on Monday
I don’t care let’s pretend that it’s Sunday

i\’m from barcelona - oversleeping

atau lagu yang we’re from barcelona. nada-nada pembuka berbau-bau ska, sehingga tak ayal lagi kalau lagu ini riang. kemudian dilanjut dengan choir anggotanya, hehehe, rasa kebersamaannya terasa. check it out

I’m gonna sing this song with all of my friends
and we’re I’m from Barcelona
Love is a feeling that we don’t understand
but we’re gonna give it to ya

We’ll aim for the stars
We’ll aim for your heart when the night comes
And we’ll bring you love
You’ll be one of us when the night comes

i\’m from barcelona - we\’re from barcelona

sayang.. gw rada pesimis dengan kelangsungan band ini terikat dengan jumlah personilnya, apalagi namanya bermusik dimana idealisme orang bisa bertabrakan. semakin banyak orang, semakin banyak kepentingan yang harus diakomodasi. but, untuk saat ini, gw acungin dua jempol untuk i’m from barcelona atas lagu-lagu riangnya.

summer!!! (padahal ntar bulan agustus)

si-kambing-lagi-mood-ngedesign mode : on

well… sebenarnya ada beberapa lagu yang sudah sepantasnya tidak masuk dalam kategori acoustik tapi saya perkosa masukin ke dalam album (fiktif) ini, toh bukannya terserah saya , wong saya sendiri yang ngebuat! yang penting ada gita akustiknya saja, bagi saya itu sudah memenuhi kriteria lagu akustik

alasan-alasan kenapa gw milih lagu ini :

1) stop whispering (radiohead)

musim panas artinya energi yang meluap-luap! energi yang tertahan gara-gara musim dingin yang membeku.

“stop whispering… start shouting..”.

tempo lagu yang tidak begitu cepat, sepertinya cocok diletakkan di awal album. istilahnya mah biar yang denger ga kaget. inti lagu ini adalah ucapkan apa yang kamu mau, bebaskan semuanya sudah tertahan lama.

“start shoutingggg….”

Oh Elise it doesn’t matter what you say
I just can’t stay here every yesterday
Like keep on acting out the same
The way we act out
Every way to smile
Forget
And make-believe we never needed
Any more than this
Any more than this

Oh Elise it doesn’t matter what you do
I know I’ll never really get inside of you
To make your eyes catch fire
The way they should
The way the blue could pull me in
If they only would
If they only would
At least I’d lose this sense of sensing something else
That hides away
From me and you
There’re worlds to part
With aching looks and breaking hearts
And all the prayers your hands can make
Oh I just take as much as you can throw
And then throw it all away
Oh I throw it all away
Like throwing faces at the sky
Like throwing arms round
Yesterday
I stood and stared
Wide-eyed in front of you
And the face I saw looked back
The way I wanted to
But I just can’t hold my tears away
The way you do

Elise believe I never wanted this
I thought this time I’d keep all of my promises
I thought you were the girl I always dreamed about
But I let the dream go
And the promises broke
And the make-believe ran out…

So Elise
It doesn’t matter what you say
I just can’t stay here every yesterday
Like keep on acting out the same
The way we act out
Every way to smile
Forget
And make-believe we never needed
Any more than this
Any more than this

And every time I try to pick it up
Like falling sand
As fast as I pick it up
It runs away through my clutching hands
But there’s nothing else I can really do
There’s nothing else I can really do
There’s nothing else
I can really do
At all…

gw suka banget ma salah satu lagu the cure ini. kenapa eh kenapa? gara-gara versi akustiknya. selain boys don’t cry, i am between, friday i’m in love, a thousand, lagu ini benar-benar menarik di telinga gw. vokal robert smith, ciri khas band UK.. kental banget di lagu ini.ahhh… another lovely song…

Dashboard Confessional - The Good Fight

Consider the odds,
Consider the obvious.
The martyr is meaningless,
The campaign has died.
In the planning stages and the fallen faces
Are the singular proof that it was ever alive.

This purchased rebellion has been outbidded,
Denounced and rescinded and left to die championless.
I begged you not to go.
I begged you, I pleaded.
Claimed you as my only hope
And watched the floor as you retreated.

Hope has sprung a perfect dive
A perfect day, a perfect lie.
A slowly crafted monologue conceding your defeat.

Does it comfort you to know you fought the good fight?
Basking in your victory,
Hollow and alone
While you boast your bitter bragging rights to anyone who’ll listen.
While you’re left with nothing tangible to gain.

live dari kamar gw

ahh… betapa semangatnya lagu ini!! HELL YEAH!!! apalagi dengan versi akustiknya…

ARGGGHHH, everything that lies in front of me, get out!!

eh.. snare oranyeku… bagaimana kabarmu? :-D, maafkan tuanmu yang telah melalaikan mu .

Only time will tell the truth
I’m living proof of what could happen to a man
When he decides to stand strong
Some of them swim, some of them drown in their sorrows
We’re living to die and I’d die to live again tomorrow
But let me tell you about the time I was just a teen
Yas & Bobby you said it was just a dream
My life’s a circus I serve no purpose
Now when you hear my name you get nervous
You see it wasn’t just a fantasy
‘Cause music is my life and I cherish it like family
So now I’m chasing dreams, facing obstacles
Racing against the clock like it was impossible
Somebody’s watching over me like a guardian angel
I’m on the outside watching my life untangle
Watching my life climb to new heights
Still waiting for the day I see my name in lights

[Chorus]
Tell ‘em once tell ‘em twice
Only time will tell
Some go up, some go down and some never fell
Win or lose make a move, if you got the guts
So why’s everybody always screaming life sucks

[Verse 2]
Only if I knew what made you hopeless
When time stands still I just sit back and focus
I hold a mic on stage, I hold a pen to the page
And then I write like I was trapped in a cage
But wait a minute ‘cause it’s not the end
I call few people enemies and fewer people friends
And a lot of people like to think they were down from the start
You played your games you broke my heart
You broke my heart into pieces
You showed me who the beast is
Yeah I trust you about as far as my hand reaches
Sticking to me like leaches and holding me tight
I went from deep sleep to sleepless nights
I can’t take it, I got to make it my passion
Dedicated to all the ones who were laughing
Take these words home and think it through
‘Cause the next song I write might be about you

[Chorus (3X)]

Only time will tell why people try and drag you down
They never make a noise and they never make a sound
Only time will tell if these people really want you
Maybe one day it’ll come back to haunt you
Only time will tell what’s the price for being famous
Some die with a name, some die nameless
Only time will tell when you make a mistake
Hold on to your life before it’s too late

[Chorus (2X)]

Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road
Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go
So make the best of this test, and don’t ask why
It’s not a question, but a lesson learned in time

It’s something unpredictable, but in the end it’s right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

So take the photographs, and still frames in your mind
Hang it on a shelf in good health and good time
Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial
For what it’s worth it was worth all the while

It’s something unpredictable, but in the end it’s right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

It’s something unpredictable, but in the end it’s right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

It’s something unpredictable, but in the end it’s right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

want to listen -> kadiye

Last night it came as a picture
With a good reason, a warning sign
This place is void of all passion
If you can imagine it’s easy if you try
Believe me I failed this effort
I wrote a reminder this wasn’t a vision
This time where are you Houston
Is somebody out there will somebody listen

Should I go back should I go back should I
I feel alone and tired
Should I go back should I go back should I
I hope I won’t forget you

My head is made up of memories
Most of them useless delusions
This room is bored of rehearsal
And sick of the boundaries
I miss you so much

Should I go back should I go back should I
I feel alone and tired
Should I go back should I go back should I
This time I don’t want to
Should I go back should I go back should I
I feel alone and tired
Should I go back should I go back should I
I hope I won’t forget you

Should I go back should I go back should I
I feel alone and tired
Should I go back should I go back should I
This time I don’t want to
Should I go back should I go back should I
I feel alone and tired
Should I go back should I go back should I
I hope I won’t forget you

begonya sayah, sejak dipasangin inet di kamar dan udan ribuan kali sayah dengerin ni lagu baru kepikiran nyari lirik lagu ini. sayah inget gara2 ngebuka trid dream theater lover di kaskus, trus banyak yang mosting kalo ni lagu favorit mereka. iya, ni juga lagu favorit sayah…

telinga gw ntu ga kompak kalo masalah lirik2 ing, kadang2 neinterpretasi gini, pas baca lirikny “ehh… mang bego gw!”, hehehehee…

liriknya kek gimana, ni sayah copas langsung :

Where did we come from?
Why are we here?
Where do we go when we die?
What lies beyond
And what lay before?
Is anything certain in life?

They say, life is too short,
The here and the now
And youre only given one shot
But could there be more,
Have I lived before,
Or could this be all that weve got?

playing on my playlist………computer ok

what i want from you is empty your head
they say be true, dont stain your bed
we do what we need to be free
and it leans on me like a rootless tree
what i want from us is empty our minds
we fake a fuss and fracture the times
we go blind when we ve needed to see
and this leans on me
like a rootless…

so fuck you
and all we ve been through
i said leave it
its nothing to you and if you hate me
then hate me so good that you can let me out
let me out of this hell when you re around

what i want from this is learn to let go
no not of you of all thats been told
killers reinvent and believe and this leans on me
like a rootless…

so fuck you
and all we ve been through
i said leave it
its nothing to you and if you hate me
then hate me so good that you can let me out
let me out of this hell when you re around
let me out…

and fuck you, fuck you, i love you

and all we ve been through
i said leave it
its nothing to you and if you hate me
then hate me so good that you can let me out
let me out…
its hell when you re around
