MAKNA LAGU REMEMBERING SUNDAY - ALL TIME LOW FT JULIET SIMMS

"Leaning now into the breeze

Remembering Sunday, he falls to his knees"

Di postingan kali ini gue mau nge-review salah satu lagu tergalau versi gue. Gak semua lagu galau itu milik mbak Adele, kali ini band punk rock asal Amerika ALL TIME LOW atau yang biasa disingkat ATL ini juga punya. Seperti judul di atas, lagu REMEMBERING SUNDAY masuk di album So Wrong, It's Right yang dirilis tahun 2007. Awal mula gue denger ni lagu dari adek gue. Emang gue udah galau dari sononya ditambah denger ni lagu dalam hati kok gue kayak klop ama liriknya. Detik pertama saat memutar Remembering Sunday kita akan mendengar petikan gitar akustik yang disusul oleh suara merdu sang vokalis Alex Gaskarth dan kalian harus googling dia bcs ganteng bgt (salfok). Yang bikin gue klop suka banget sama ni lagu juga karena liriknya yang seperti orang bercerita.

LIRIK

He woke up from dreaming and put on his shoes
Started making his way past 2 in the morning
He hasn't been sober for days

Leaning now into the breeze
Remembering Sunday, he falls to his knees
They had breakfast together
But two eggs don't last
Like the feeling of what he needs

Now this place seems familiar to him
She pulled on his hand with a devilish grin
She led him upstairs, she led him upstairs
Left him dying to get in

Forgive me, I'm trying to find
My calling, I'm calling at night
I don't mean to be a bother,
But have you seen this girl?
She's been running through my dreams
And it's driving me crazy, it seems
I'm going to ask her to marry me

Even though she doesn't believe in love,
He's determined to call her bluff
Who could deny these butterflies?
They're filling his gut

Waking the neighbors, unfamiliar faces
He pleads though he tries
But he's only denied
Now he's dying to get inside

Forgive me, I'm trying to find
My calling, I'm calling at night
I don't mean to be a bother,
But have you seen this girl?
She's been running through my dreams
And it's driving me crazy, it seems
I'm going to ask her to marry me

The neighbors said she moved away
Funny how it rained all day
I didn't think much of it then
But it's starting to all make sense
Oh, I can see now that all of these clouds
Are following me in my desperate endeavor
To find my whoever, wherever she may be

[Juliet Simms:]
I'm not coming back (forgive me)
I've done something so terrible
I'm terrified to speak (I'm not calling, I'm not calling)
But you'd expect that from me
I'm mixed up, I'll be blunt, now the rain is just (You're driving me crazy, I'm)
Washing you out of my hair and out of my mind
Keeping an eye on the world,
From so many thousands of feet off the ground, I'm over you now
I'm at home in the clouds, and towering over your head

[Alex Gaskarth:]
Well I guess I'll go home now...
I guess I'll go home now...
I guess I'll go home now...
I guess I'll go home

MAKNA

Ditinjau dari liriknya, lagu ini merupakan curhatan hati sang pria kepada pujaan hatinya yang tak kunjung datang/kembali lagi bersamanya. Ia curhat betapa menyesalnya ia. Dia (cowok) mungkin baru menyadari betapa besar kesalahan masa lalunya sehingga membuat ceweknya pergi menghilang gitu aja dan kembali-kembali. Cowokpun udah ngelakuin berbagai cara mulai dari nanya ke tetangga tu cewek, nelpon tu cewek tapi dia gak bermaksud buat jadi pengganggu. Dia cuma mau ceweknya memaafkannya dan kembali padanya. Bahkan sang cowokpun udah mau ngelamar sang kekasih, WOW! Ini liriknya.

Forgive me, I'm trying to find
My calling, I'm calling at night
I don't mean to be a bother,
But have you seen this girl?
She's been running through my dreams
And it's driving me crazy, it seems
I'm going to ask her to marry me

Kayaknya lagu ini cocok banget deh dinyanyiin sama cowok yang mau minta maaf sama ceweknya yegaksih(?). Secara ni lagu sangat menggambarkan curahan hati seorang laki-laki. Eh tapi awalnya gue kira ATL ngebawain lagu ini sendiri, tau-taunya ada yang nemenin, dia adalah Juliet Simms. Ternyata doi adalah salah satu kontestan The Voice pada tahun 2012 dan suaranya nyatu banget deh sama Alex, punk rock gitu.
Juliet Simms mewakili cewek (ea) dia bilang kalau udah gak usah ngejar-ngejar gue lagi, hubungan kita cukup sampai sini. Dia juga bilang dia udah ngelakuin hal yang salah, yaitu pacaran sama ni cowok. Trus pada akhir lagu si cowok bilang dia akan pulang dan stop buat ngejar cewek ini lagi. Yah sia-sia dong usahanya!

Washing you out of my hair and out of my mind

I'm at home in the clouds, and towering over your head
[Alex Gaskarth:]
Well I guess I'll go home now...
I guess I'll go home now...
I guess I'll go home now...
I guess I'll go home

Dari beberapa sumber yang gue baca(sokbgtyaela), lagu ini sebenarnya bercerita tentang hubungan nyata sang vokalis Alex Gaskarth yang katanya dia ini jatuh cinta sama fansnya waktu manggung di Vegas namun ini cewek hanya menganggap hubungan mereka sebatas One Night Stand dan ni cewek pergi gitu aja ninggalin Alex yang udah terlanjur baper sama hubungan mereka. Kayaknya sih gitu ya. Tapi makna lagu ini terserah kalian masing-masing mau ngartiinnya kayak gimana. Dan jangan lupa denger lagu ini kalau galau yah!
