Inilah Alasan Kenapa Kamu Harus Mendengarkan Boyce Avenue

Pertama kali saya tahu Boyce Avenue itu 4 tahun silam saya lihat folder di komputer kawan nama foldernya Boyce Avenue, saya tanya ini grup band apa? Saya termasuk suka semua musik, kok gak tahu? (untuk ukuran seperkawanan saya saja). Dibilangnya itu cover.

Saya lewatkan folder itu dan tak pernah saya sentuh-sentuh lagi, karena menurut saya cover itu murahan, lebih baik dengar penyanyi aslinya saja, apapun itu, kan lebih bagus yang asli ya? Ketimbang yang bukan. Pandangan itu kuat selama bertahun tahun.

Sampai kawan, berkomentar di salah satu status saya di facebook, begini, You shoot me down but I won’t fall. Komentar nya bagus, pikir saya. Kok bisa dapat kata-kata yang bagus gitu? Saya gugling di yahoo. Dan nemu! Ternyata itu lirik lagu, ya. David Guetta ft Sia, berjudul Titanium 

Lagu nya enak, enerjik penuh optimismeu. Tapi terlalu keras bagi saya waktu itu, saya sedang pengen cari yang mellow, dan takdir menemukan saya dengan Bocye Avenue lagi, saya coba dengarkan versi mereka, ini dia video klipnya; 

Hasilnya luarbiasa! Lagu versi Boyce Avenue lah yang saya dengar berulang-ulang. Ini mengagumkan, bagaimana mereka menerjemahkan lagu yang berisik, dang ding dong menjadi sangat halus dengan tidak meninggalkan nafas lagu awalnya. Kalau bukan karya profesional, karya siapa lagi ini?  Baca lebih lanjut

The Corrs – Dreams

Now here you go again, you say you want your freedom
Well who am I to keep you down
It’s only right that you should play the way you feel it
But listen carefully to the sound
Of your loneliness

Like a heartbeat drives you mad
In the stillness of remembering what you had
And what you lost

Yeah, thunder only happens when it’s raining
Players only love you when they’re playing
Yeah, women they will come and they will go
When the rain washes you clean you’ll know, you’ll know…

Now here I go again, I see the crystal visions
I keep my visions to myself
Well It’s only me that wants to wrap around your dreams and
Have you any dreams you’d like to sell

Dreams of loneliness
Like a heartbeat drives you mad
In the stillness of remembering what you had
(Drives you mad,) and what you lost, (remember what you had)

Thunder only happens when it’s raining
(Thunder only happens when it’s…)
Players only love you when they’re playing
(Players only love you when they’re…)
Yeah, women they will come and they will go, (they will go…)
When the rain washes you clean you’ll know…

Yeah, thunder only happens when it’s raining
(Thunder only happens when it’s…)
Players only love you when they’re playing
(Players only love you when they’re…)
Yeah, women they will come and they will go, (they will go…)
When the rain washes you clean you’ll know…
You’ll know, (the heartbeat drives you mad,) you’ll know, (remember what you had)
You’ll know…

Nickelback- When We Stand Together

“When We Stand Together”


One more depending on a prayer
And we all look away
People pretending everywhere
It’s just another day
There’s bullets flying through the air
And they still carry on
We watch it happen over there
And then just turn it off

Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah
We must stand together
Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah
There’s no giving in
Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah
Hand in hand forever
Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah
That’s when we all win
Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah
That’s, that’s, that’s when we all win
That’s, that’s, that’s when we all win


They tell us everything’s alright
And we just go along
How can we fall asleep at night
When something’s clearly wrong
When we could feed a starving world
With what we throw away
But all we serve are empty words
That always taste the same

Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah
We must stand together
Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah
There’s no giving in
Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah
Hand in hand forever
Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah
That’s when we all win
Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah
That’s, that’s, that’s when we all win
That’s, that’s, that’s when we all win

The right thing to guide us
Is right here inside us
No one can divide us
When the light is nearly gone
But just like a heartbeat
The drumbeat carries on
And the drumbeat carries on
Just like a heart beat

Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah
We must stand together
Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah
There’s no giving in
Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah
Hand in hand forever
Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah
That’s when we all win
Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah
That’s, that’s, that’s when we all win
That’s, that’s, that’s when we all win



Michael Heart – What About Us (Song for Syria)

What About Us (Song for Syria)


Two years an counting, a hundred thousand dead

And still you wait
Innocent civilians have bled the ground red
And still you wait
the world is busy living an ordinari life 
with school and wort and family
and sleeping safe at night 


but what about us

don’t we count at all should we just keep on dying 
while youre waiting to solve
the political mess
all you do is stall
can’t you see the bloody writing 
all over the wall 
what about us


chemical rockets raining from the sky

and still you wait 
millions of refugees running for their lives
and still you wait

this page we write in history 
of the human race
inked in blood for all to see
we never can erase


can’t you hear us calling?

can’t you feel our pain 
what’ll it take to free us from this chains
