Di suatu malam sunyi senyap…
Diiringi bunyi ketak-ketik ketak-ketik dari seorang yang masih memiliki sisa semangat koding ria…
Dan bunyi derum lemah AC dan PC yang masih menyala…
Tampak sesosok perempuan, terdiam terpaku.
Wajahnya dingin, kaku, tanpa ekspresi.
Tiba-tiba dari arahnya terdengar suara…
“Wuoooooohhh, keren!!”
Ahahahahah, iya, itu gw, kemarin malam. Di satu ruangan besar ini, jam 10 sampai 11 malam, cuma tinggal berdua. Sang Gondo masih asik dengan baris-baris code warna-warni itu, sedangkan gw lebih memilih untuk memanfaatkan moment sepi tersebut untuk… streaming! ^^v American Idol Top 8 Female performance, yang tayang di hari sebelumnya. Penasaran sama penampilan Siobhan Magnus yang lucu itu. Tapi ternyata, untuk female semifinalists minggu ini, pilihan gw jatuh kepada… Lacey Brown with The Story.

Entahlah, mungkin lebih karena gw suka lagunya ;) Lagu aslinya dibawakan oleh Brandi Carlile. Sumpah gw baru denger namanya sekarang, padahal itu lagu tahun 2007. Genre-nya agak-agak unik. Gw sih mendengarnya ada pengaruh country, tapi kok ya dicampur pop dan rock dikit. Kalau kata om wiki sih disebut alternative country, hummmh… I don’t really like country music, but I do like this one :) Dari albumnya yang baru-baru aja, Give Up the Ghost (2009), gw suka Dreams, yang ini lebih kerasa deh country-nya.
Here you go, Brandi Carlile with The Story. *yaaah, disabled, padahal video yang paling bagus. Nonton di empunya aja deh ;p*

Lyric?? show
All of these lines across my face
Tell you the story of who I am
So many stories of where I’ve been
And how I got to where I am
But these stories don’t mean anything
When you’ve got no one to tell them to
It’s true… I was made for you
I climbed across the mountain tops
Swam all across the ocean blue
I crossed all the lines and I broke all the rules
But baby I broke them all for you
Because even when I was flat broke
You made me feel like a million bucks
You do
I was made for you
You see the smile that’s on my mouth
It’s hiding the words that don’t come out
And all of my friends who think that I’m blessed
They don’t know my head is a mess
No, they don’t know who I really am
And they don’t know what
I’ve been through like you do
And I was made for you…
All of these lines across my face
Tell you the story of who I am
So many stories of where I’ve been
And how I got to where I am
But these stories don’t mean anything
When you’ve got no one to tell them to
It’s true… I was made for you
Ngomong-ngomong ‘the story‘, baru-baru ini ada cerita yang benar-benar menjadi hot thread di R&D Software. Ceritanya, waktu ada seorang yang dengan niatnya OT di hari Minggu, sendirian, tiba-tiba dia melihat sesosok perempuan mondar-mandir. Berbaju, atau berjubah putih panjang, dan berambut panjang. Opacity 30% =)). Kejadiannya di waktu menjelang Maghrib katanya, dan dia waktu itu memang sudah mau pulang. Akhirnya dia cuma bisa teriak “Permisi ya mbak, mau kirim report dulu, bentar lagi pulang kok” ^^;
Iya sih, dari dulu waktu ruangan ini masih ditempatin sama Purchasing dept., katanya memang ada cerita-cerita. Waktu kita pindah ke sini pun sempat jadi perbincangan hot. Waktu itu, sang Bossbess dengan songongnya berkata “Aaah, ga ada itu gitu-gituan”. Eh, ternyata, kemarin dia baru cerita bahwa malam itu juga dia diikutin sampe ke kosan. Hiiiihh… Berkat itu dia libur OT selama seminggu, wahahahah…
Tapi, gara-gara hot news itu, semangat OT gw jadi agak terganggu >.< Padahal tadinya kegiatan ‘tutup toko’ a.k.a matiin lampu karena jadi orang terakhir yang pulang, terasa biasa saja, tapi kemarin, pikirannya jadi aneh-aneh deh. Padahal biasanya, kalau ada suara-suara lagu atau film atau apapun dari set yang menyala, pasti gw langsung beranggapan “Aaah, lagi long play itu”. Tapi kemarin, jadi bertanya-tanya, “Hummmh, tadinya nyala ga sih? Kapan nyalanya?”. Gawaaaat… semoga keparnoan ini tak berlangsung selamanya >.<
Dan tadi malam pun, akhirnya gw tidur dengan lampu menyala, aaargh… Berasa kurang nyenyak.
Permisi ya mbak, saya mau posting blog dulu, bentar lagi pulang kok.. ^^
For now, i’m so hooked on their songs. Kinda like children’s songs, but so relaxing, love it! Makes me wanna dance like a 5 years-old-girl while listening and humming to it. Ugh, how I miss my childhood ^^ Here you go, Fireflies, their most popular single.

Lyric?? show
You would not believe your eyes
If ten million fireflies
Lit up the world as I fell asleep
‘Cause they’d fill the open air
And leave teardrops everywhere
You’d think me rude
But I would just stand and stare
I’d like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It’s hard to say that I’d rather stay
Awake when I’m asleep
‘Cause everything is never as it seems
‘Cause I’d get a thousand hugs
From ten thousand lightning bugs
As they tried to teach me how to dance
A foxtrot above my head
A sock hop beneath my bed
A disco ball is just hanging by a thread
I’d like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It’s hard to say that I’d rather stay
Awake when I’m asleep
‘Cause everything is never as it seems
When I fall asleep
Leave my door open just a crack
(Please take me away from here)
‘Cause I feel like such an insomniac
(Please take me away from here)
Why do I tire of counting sheep
(Please take me away from here)
When I’m far too tired to fall asleep
To ten million fireflies
I’m weird ’cause I hate goodbyes
I got misty eyes as they said farewell
But I’ll know where several are
If my dreams get real bizarre
‘Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar
I’d like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It’s hard to say that I’d rather stay
Awake when I’m asleep
‘Cause everything is never as it seems
When I fall asleep
I’d like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It’s hard to say that I’d rather stay
Awake when I’m asleep
‘Cause everything is never as it seems
When I fall asleep
I’d like to make myself believe
That planet earth turns slowly
It’s hard to say that I’d rather stay
Awake when I’m asleep
Because my dreams are bursting at the seams
This one’s my fave. Hummmh, maybe the video that makes it more interesting, so cute ^^ Don’t fully understand the meaning tho ;p Why bird and worm??? Bird eats worm, doesn’t it?
If you’re the bird, then I’m the worm… We were meant to be…
Oh, and I’ll kiss you between the ears made me giggle, funny and sweet >.<

Lyric?? *ah, the video itself is embedded with lyric rite? no need to write it down here ;p*
Really wanna watch this now…

You can find the review here *wiki, as usual*. Care to share the download link, or even better, the DivX files, anyone? *puppy eyes*
Lagu lama, banget. Itu Justin rambutnya masih kribo geje gitu ^^; Kayaknya gw lagi terkena serangan ‘mellow-mellow-melodies’ deh. Uhhmm, hormone take control i guess, hweheheh…
I Thought She Knew, by N’Sync.

Lyric?? show
She was my once in a lifetime
Happy ending come true
Oh I guess I should have told her
But I thought she knew
She said I took her for granted
Last thing I would do
Oh I’ll never understand it
‘Cause I thought she knew
I thought she knew
My world revolved around her
My love light burns for her alone
But she couldn’t see the flame
Only myself to blame
I should have known
I should have known
A heart full of words left unspoken
Now that we’re through
I’d sell my soul to have this silence broken
Oh I thought she knew
I thought she knew
I thought she knew
My world revolved around her
My love light burns for her alone
But she couldn’t see the flame
Only myself to blame
I should have known
I should have known
She was my once in a lifetime
Happy ending come true
Oh I guess I should have told her
But I thought she knew
I thought she knew
I thought she knew
I thought she knew
I thought she knew
I thought she knew
Whoa….
Oh I thought that she knew
Yeah oooooooo….
* pulang aja ah, mood begini mana bisa kerja ;p*
