Keane, Alternatif Piano-Rock dengan Rasa Musik 'Sedep-Sedep Sedih'

Sebenernya uda pengen nulis postingan ini dari jaman kapan tau. E....ternyata baru sekarang ketulis, entah karena kepengen pembaca engeh ada band sekeren ini or well yeah, sedikit banyak kepengaruh ama Icha (yang suka baper ngait-ngaitin lagu ama kehidupannya) atau si Febry yang tiep malam minggu rutin memposting tema musik. Oke, di sini label review musik kudu segera aku tambahkan.

Jadi.....gimana nih pembukaannya?? Yes, aku seneng banget ama band piano-rock asal Inggris Raya sono yang berlabelkan KEANE. Aki sukaaaaa...sukaaa banget ama lagu-lagunya, terlepas dari tampang vokalisnya yang menurut gue : kok-agak-agak-mirip-ke-Wayne Rooney ya?.....*sungkem ama Thomas Oliver Chaplin. Tapi, lepas dari itu, aku amat sangat rela memberikan standing applause tiep kali ngedenger iringan piano alternatif...yang walo piano namun tetep ada nuansa nge-beat-nya gitu. Gimana yah...kelen dengerin sendiri aja deh lagu-lagunya. Beberapa diantaranya juga udah amat sangat terkenal dan sering diputer buat soundtrack-soundtrack acara TV tertentu.

Sejak kapannya aku suka KEANE, keknya antara pertengahan masa kuliah deh--dimana salah satu lagunya itu jadi kenangan antara aku dengan Pak Suami (ciye...). Waktu itu aku sedang dalam masa perjalanan dengan bus Sumber Alam karena moda transportasi yang kugunakan bolak-balik cuma itu--pilihannya. Dan...pas tengah-tengah malem ngecekin notif FB...e ada komennya si Pak Suami yang waktu itu masih gombal gambil, ngeramain statusku (yang masih labil) bareng rival-rival yang ingin memenangkan hatiku, hahhaha...Dan malem itu tuh cuman bisa kebawa senyum karena ditemani sama lagunya Try Again punya Keane..... (padahal di liriknya di kereta malem, tapi gue pakenya bis SumberAlam, jiaaahhh).

Dan sebenernya album Keane yang aku suka tuh kebanyakan 2004, 2006, 2008-an gitu deh..Jadi dari sekian lagu, yang paling aku bener-bener hapalin dan hayatin dalem ati itu terdiri dari :

1. The Frog Prince

Hmmm interpretasiin ga ya...tapi takut salah (skill terjemahanku masih acak adut). Pas diceki-ceki ke gugle translate kok kayak serialnya Shrek sih...ahhh....Tapi aku yakin ini semua pasti ada pesan moralnya.. Aku interpretasikan lagi ke ilmu awamku bahwa ini tentang semacem kisah kekuasaan gitu kali ya? Di yutub adaaaa....tapi yang konser live, dimana aku lebih menyarankan untuk mendengarkan yang rekaman asli cdnya ajah....klo live kan kadang suaranya pecah ya...

2. Bend and Break

Aku membayangkan inti dari lagu ini tuh kayak istilah gombal-gombalannya jaman sekarang : Menua Bersama.....(bener ga yah). Tapi aku menangkap kalau makna lagunya dalemmm bener meski diiringi dengan piano yang lagi-lagi ada efek elektroniknya.

3. She Has No Time

Baper baper baperrrr..... kalo dengerin lagu mellow-mellow kek ini. Gilaaakk perpaduan antara piano, drum, ame gitar pleus suara sang pokalis yang to deep bisa-bisa bikin mewek kalo didengerin pas tengah malem pukul 00.00

4. Try Again

Kembali ke ocehan di atas..ini lagu ada kenangannya. Trus pas bangetlah klo diputer pas lagi memandang ke luar jendela dari kaca sebuah kereta....ciyeee...

5.  Bedshaped

Kalo ditelaah dari musiknya..kesannya kita dibawa ke keadaan yang begitu surem nan dramatis...tapi entah kenapa aku suka...Lagunya bikin baper aselik...Kalo liat MV-nya ...e ternyata beneran storynya rada surem...ceki-ceki langsung deh..biar gapenasaran.

Many's the time I ran with you down

The rainy roads of our old town

Many the lives we lived in each day

And buried altogether

Don't laugh at me

Don't look away

You'll follow me back

With the sun in your eyes

And on your own

Bedshaped

And legs of stone

You'll knock on my door

And up we'll go

In white light

I don't think so

But what do I know?

What do I know?

I know!

I know you think I'm holding you down

And I've fallen by the wayside now

And I don't understand the same things as you

But I do

Don't laugh at me

Don't look away

You'll follow me back

With the sun in your eyes

And on your own

Bedshaped

And legs of stone

You'll knock on my door

And up we'll go

In white light

I don't think so

But what do I know?

What do I know?

I know!

And up we'll go

In white light

I don't think so

But what do I know?

What do I know?

I know

6.  Put it Behind You

Yang ini totally ngebeat walo kalo dinyanyiin pake mulut yang belon ngerti tekniknya kayak aku bakalan cape di bait pertama hahahhaha...Lagu ini diciptakan oleh Rice-Oxley (sang pianis) untuk Richard Hughes (drummer) yang bercerita tentang putusnya Hughes dengan pacarnya beberapa tahun lalu.

7. Sunshine

Ini lebih main ke perasaan deh cara ngebawainnya. Soalnya musiknya dari pelan, lama-lama ada beatnya gitu meski masih tetep dengan cara yang bisa dibilang mellow. Dulu jamannya masih ngekos, puter lagu ini kenceng-kenceng pakek speaker rasanya kok keren yaa...(kemudian dibatin tetangga, hahah).

8. Your Eyes Open

Walo backsound musiknya rada berisik, tapi permainan liriknya bagus, ditambah ada efek-efek mistik (kalo kataku) di tengah-tengah...tapi overall, perpaduannya bikin aku betah mengulang dan mengulang lagi.

9. Black Burning Heart

Aku paling suka yang bagian akhir lagu setelah puisi. Yang liriknya kek gini nih :

Burning up

Now I'm racing down a road I don't recognise

I realise I've forgotten my way home

Forgotten everything that I know

Every day a false start

And it burns my heart

Turn back

Ga tau tapi rasanya tu makin naik, naik, naik, n klimaks deh...tu lagu..keren. 

10. Somewhere Only We Know

Mmmmm...ini lagu cocoknya didengerin, lagi-lagi pas kita naek kereta atau ngebis gitu, terus menghayatinya dari balik jendela...di luar sono ujan turun rintik-rintik...aaahh

I walked across an empty land

I knew the pathway like the back of my hand

I felt the earth beneath my feet

Sat by the river and it made me complete

Oh simple thing where have you gone?

I'm getting old and I need something to rely on

So tell me when you're gonna let me in

I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

I came across a fallen tree

I felt the branches of it looking at me

Is this the place we used to love?

Is this the place that I've been dreaming of?

Oh simple thing where have you gone?

I'm getting old and I need something to rely on

So tell me when you're gonna let me in

I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

And if you have a minute why don't we go

Talk about it somewhere only we know?

This could be the end of everything

So why don't we go

Somewhere only we know?

Somewhere only we know?

Oh simple thing where have you gone?

I'm getting old and I need something to rely on

So tell me when you're gonna let me in

I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

And if you have a minute why don't we go

Talk about it somewhere only we know?

This could be the end of everything

So why don't we go?

So why don't we go?

Ah-ah-ah

Ah-ah-ah

This could be the end of everything

So why don't we go

Somewhere only we know?

Somewhere only we know?

Somewhere only we know? 

11. Perfect Symmetry

E menurut info, ni lagu dapet award sebagai lagu terbaik dari Q Best of 2008...*keplok-keplok. Liriknya juga enak banget dihayatin pakek speaker yang ngebass of course.

I shake through the wreckage for signs of life

Scrolling through the paragraphs

Clicking through the photographs

I wish I could make sense of what we do

Burning down the capitols

Wisest of the animals

Who are you, what are you living for

Tooth for tooth, maybe we'll go one more

This life, is lived in perfect symmetry

What I do, that will be done to me

Write page after page of analysis

Looking for the final score

We're no closer than we were before

Who are you, what are you fighting for

Holy truth, brother I chose this mortal life

lived in perfect symmetry

What I do, that will be done to me

As the needle, slips into the run out groove

Love, maybe you feel it too

And maybe you find, life is unkind

and over so soon

There is no golden gate

There's no heaven waiting for you

Oh boy you otta leave this town

get out while you can

the needle's running out

The voices in the streets you love

everything is better when you hear that shout

woooaohhh

woooaohhh

woooaohhh

spineless dreamers, hide in churches

pieces of pieces of rush hour buses

I dream in emails, worn out phrases

mile after mile of just empty pages

wrap yourself around me

wrap yourself around me

as the needle, slips into the run out groove

maybe i'll feel it too

maybe you'll feel it too

maybe you'll feel it too

maybe you'll feel it too

I dream in emails, worn out phrases

mile after mile of just empty pages

13. Is it Any Wonder

14. Walnut Tree

15. Let it Slide

16. Everybody's Changing

Kayaknya ini lagu Keane yang paling orang kenal deh, secara sering diputer jadi soundtrack acara apa aja....heheh... Tapi emang asique banget sih lirik ama musiknya..

Sumber : KeaneVevo, Youtube

You say you wander your own land

But when I think about it

I don't see how you can

You're aching, you're breaking

And I can see the pain in your eyes

Says everybody's changing

And I don't know why

So little time

Try to understand that I'm

Trying to make a move just to stay in the game

I try to stay awake and remember my name

But everybody's changing

And I don't feel the same

You're gone from here

And soon you will disappear

Fading into beautiful light

Cause everybody's changing

And I don't feel right

So little time

Try to understand that I'm

Trying to make a move just to stay in the game

I try to stay awake and remember my name

But everybody's changing

And I don't feel the same

So little time

Try to understand that I'm

Trying to make a move just to stay in the game

I try to stay awake and remember my name

But everybody's changing

And I don't feel the same

Oh, everybody's changing

And I don't feel the same

 

17. Crystal Ball

Who is the man I see

Where I'm supposed to be?

I lost my heart, I buried it too deep

Under the iron sea

Oh, crystal ball, crystal ball

Save us all, tell me life is beautiful

Mirror, mirror on the wall

Lines ever more unclear

Not sure I'm even here

The more I look the more I think that I'm

Starting to disappear

Oh, crystal ball, crystal ball

Save us all, tell me life is beautiful

Mirror, mirror on the wall

Oh, crystal ball, hear my song

I'm fading out, everything I know is wrong

So put me where I belong

I don't know where I am

And I don't really care

I look myself in the eye

There's no-one there

I fall upon the earth

I call upon the air

But all I get is the same old vacant stare

Oh, crystal ball, crystal ball

Save us all, tell me life is beautiful

Mirror, mirror on the wall

Oh, crystal ball, hear my song

I'm fading out, everything I know is wrong

So put me where I belong

18. Bad Dream

Why do I have to fly

Over every town up and down the line?

I'll die in the clouds above

And you that I defend, I do not love

I wake up, it's a bad dream

No one on my side

I was fighting

But I just feel too tired

To be fighting

Guess I'm not the fighting kind

Where will I meet my fate?

Baby I'm a man, I was born to hate

And when will I meet my end?

In a better time you could be my friend

I wake up, it's a bad dream

No one on my side

I was fighting

But I just feel too tired

To be fighting

Guess I'm not the fighting kind

Wouldn't mind it

If you were by my side

But you're long gone

Yeah you're long gone now

Where do we go?

I don't even know

My strange old face

And I'm thinking about those days

And I'm thinking about those days

I wake up, it's a bad dream

No one on my side

I was fighting

But I just feel too tired

To be fighting

Guess I'm not the fighting kind

Wouldn't mind it

If you were by my side

But you're long gone

Yeah you're long gone now

19. Nothing in My Way

20. This Is The Last Time

Gileee.....super sangat jenius menurut pendengaran kuping akuuh. Easy listening iya...maknanya dalem juga iya....Musikalitasnya juga ---beeegh, keren lah... Dan ini lagu lagi bolak-balik aku puter karena emang enak banget. huhu....

Ni liriknya :

This is the last time

That I will say these words

I remember the first time

The first of many lies

Sweep it into the corner

Or hide it under the bed

Say these things they go away

But they never do

Something I wasn't sure of

But I was in the middle of

Something I forget now

But I've seen too little of

The last time

You fall on me for anything you like

Your one last line

You fall on me for anything you like

And years make everything alright

You fall on me for anything you like

And I no I don't mind

This is the last time

That I will show my face

One last tender lie

And then I'm out of this place

So tread it into the carpet

Or hide it under the stairs

Say that some things never die

Well I tried and I tried

Something I wasn't sure of

But I was in the middle of

Something I forget now

But I've seen too little of

The last time

You fall on me for anything you like

Your one last line

You fall on me for anything you like

And years make everything alright

You fall on me for anything you like

And I no I don't mind

The last time

You fall on me for anything you like

Your one last line

You fall on me for anything you like

And years make everything alright

You fall on me for anything you like

And I know I don't mind
