The Script. Band asal Ireland. Tiga personil, ketiganya bisa memainkan berbagai alat musik. Plus jago ngerap. Multitalenta. Serius lho, salah satunya ada di lagu yang mau gue post ini. If You Could See Me Now.

 Judul lagunya terdengar seperti lagu tentang manusia despreate yang berharap gebetan/mantannya ngeliat dia lagi galau mikirin mereka di pojokkan Toilet Pak Bowo sambil ngomong "Aku rela ngelakuin apa yang kamu mau agar kamu bisa balikan/jadian sama aku. Aku rela nyelupin wajahku ke muara toilet supaya kamu bisa ngeliat wajahku yang basah, tegar, dan bersih ini".  Padahal nggak begitu, gue orang yang gak lebay lebay amat masalah gituan. Lagian jomblo juga sih. Ehm.

 Lebay Lo Ik...

 Oke sekarang serius. Lagu ini bercerita tentang seorang anak yang sudah dewasa dan terkenal. Tetapi ia hanyalah seorang anak yatim, gapunya bokap. Dia ingin ayahnya, yang sudah berada di alam yang berbeda, melihat kondisinya yang sekarang. Sudah tenar, sukses, dan disukai banyak orang. Baik wanita maupun pria. 

 Musiknya sih ciri khas De Skrip banget. Ada paduan rap-nya, musiknya juga ngebeat. Jadi kedengaran nggak galau galau amat. Gue sebut ini 'Nge-Rock Galau'.

 Here goes, If You Could See Me Now by The Script


Liriknya? Ada kok. Itu juga kalo kuat ngerap.


(Oh if you could see me now)

(Oh if you could see me now)


It was February 14 Valentines Day

The roses came but they took you away

Tattooed on my arm is a charm to disarm all the harm

Gotta keep myself calm but the truth is you're gone
And I'll never get to show you these songs
Dad you should see the tours that I'm on
I see you standing there next to Mom
Both singing along, yeah arm in arm
And there are days when I'm losing my faith
Because the man wasn't good he was great
He'd say "Music was the home for your pain"
And explained I was young, he would say
Take that rage, put it on a page
Take that page to the stage
Blow the roof off the place
I'm trying to make you proud
Do everything you did
I hope you're up there with God saying "That's my kid!"



[Chorus:]

I still look for your face in the crowd

Oh if you could see me now (Oh if you could see me now)

Would you stand in disgrace or take a bow
Oh if you could see me now (Oh if you could see me now)


(Oh if you could see me now)


If you could see me now would you recognize me?

Would you pat me on the back or would you criticize me?

Would you follow every line on my tear-stained face

Put your hand on my heart that was cold
As the day you were taken away
I know it's been a while but I can see you clear as day
Right now, I wish I could hear you say
I drink too much, and I smoke too much dutch
But if you can't see me now that shit's a must
You used to say I wont know a wind until it crossed me
Like I wont know real love 'til I've loved and I've lost it
So if you lost a sister, someone's lost a mom
And if you lost a dad then someone's lost a son
And they're all missing out, yeah they're all missing out
So if you get a second to look down on me now
Mom, Dad I'm just missing you now



I still look for your face in the crowd

Oh if you could see me now (Oh if you could see me now)

Would you stand in disgrace or take a bow

Oh if you could see me now (Oh if you could see me now)


Oh, oh

Would you call me a saint or a sinner?

Would you love me a loser or winner?

Oh, oh
When I see my face in the mirror
We look so alike that it makes me shiver



I still look for your face in the crowd

Oh if you could see me now (Oh if you could see me now)

Would you stand in disgrace or take a bow

Oh if you could see me now (Oh if you could see me now)
Yeah I'm just missing you now



I still look for your face in the crowd

Oh if you could see me now (Oh if you could see me now)

Would you stand in disgrace or take a bow

Oh if you could see me now (Oh if you could see me now)

If you could see, you could see me now [x2]

Selamat Menikmati!
