Music #1 : WESTLIFE'S SONGS
Saat ini, Industri Musik even itu di Amerika, Eropa atau Indonesia sendiri berkembang dengan sangat pesat. Banyak musisi baru yang muncul dengan karya-karya yang luar biasa. Dengan semakin pesatnya industri musik, muncullah genre musik baru yang bisa dibilang sangat langka atau bahkan tidak ada pada zaman dahulu ( coba tanya kakek atau nenek kalian :) ). Contohnya musik EDM, RAP dll. Lalu gimana dengan lagu atau musik zaman dahulu ? wait .. meskipun banyak lagu-lagu bagus dengan bermacam-macam genre yang hampir muncul tiap minggunya ( cek di app musik kalian ) tetapi lagu-lagu lawas / zaman dahulu tidak hilang begitu saja loh .. Masih banyak orang yang menyukai lagu-lagu lawas atau bahkan lebih menyukai lagu-lagu lawas dibanding lagu zaman 'now' .
Gue adalah salah satu manusia yang masih menyukai lagu-lagu lawas. Salah satu musisi / grup vokal zaman dahulu yang paling gue suka adalah WESTLIFE. Why ? Sebenarnya ngak ada alasan khusus gue suka dengan westlife. Kesukaan gue juga tanpa disengaja. Waktu itu gue iseng muter playlist mama gue dan kebetulan ada satu lagu yang enak banget didenger. Pas gue liat judulnya ( rahasia ) dan penyanyinya westlife. Setelah itu gue langsung kepoin tuh Westlife dan gue denger hampir semua lagu mereka. Dari sekian banyak dan bagusnya lagu-lagu Westlife, ada 5 lagu yang masuk dalam list favorit gue .

Uptown girl
She's been living in her uptown world
I bet she never had a back street guy
I bet her mama never told her why
She's been living in her uptown world
I bet she never had a back street guy
I bet her mama never told her why
I'm gonna try for an uptown girl
She's been living in her white bread world
As long as anyone with hot blood can
And now she's looking for a downtown man
That's what I am
She's been living in her white bread world
As long as anyone with hot blood can
And now she's looking for a downtown man
That's what I am
And when she knows what
She wants from her time
And when she wakes up
And makes up her mind
She wants from her time
And when she wakes up
And makes up her mind
She'll see I'm not so tough
Just because
I'm in love with an uptown girl
You know I've seen her in her uptown world
She's getting tired of her high class toys
And all her presents from her uptown boys
She's got a choice
Just because
I'm in love with an uptown girl
You know I've seen her in her uptown world
She's getting tired of her high class toys
And all her presents from her uptown boys
She's got a choice
Uptown girl
You know I can't afford to buy her pearls
But maybe someday when my ship comes in
She'll understand what kind of guy I've been
And then I'll win
You know I can't afford to buy her pearls
But maybe someday when my ship comes in
She'll understand what kind of guy I've been
And then I'll win
And when she's walking
She's looking so fine
And when she's talking
She'll say that she's mine
She's looking so fine
And when she's talking
She'll say that she's mine
She'll say I'm not so tough
Just because
I'm in love
With and uptown girl

As long as anyone with hot blood can
And now she's looking for a downtown man
That's what I am

When I am down, and, oh, my soul, so weary
When troubles come, and my heart burdened be
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence
Until you come and sit awhile with me
When troubles come, and my heart burdened be
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence
Until you come and sit awhile with me
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains
You raise me up to walk on stormy seas
I am strong when I am on your shoulders
You raise me up to more than I can be
You raise me up to walk on stormy seas
I am strong when I am on your shoulders
You raise me up to more than I can be
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains
You raise me up to walk on stormy seas
I am strong when I am on your shoulders
You raise me up to more than I can be
You raise me up to walk on stormy seas
I am strong when I am on your shoulders
You raise me up to more than I can be
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains
You raise me up to walk on stormy seas
I am strong when I am on your shoulders
You raise me up to more than I can be
You raise me up to walk on stormy seas
I am strong when I am on your shoulders
You raise me up to more than I can be
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains
You raise me up to walk on stormy seas
I am strong when I am on your shoulders
You raise me up to more than I can be
You raise me up to walk on stormy seas
I am strong when I am on your shoulders
You raise me up to more than I can be
You raise me up to more than I can be

Baby, I know the story,
I've seen the picture,
It's written all over your face
Tell me, what's the secret that you've been hiding?
And who's gonna take my place?
I should have seen it coming,
I should have read the signs
Anyway, I guess it's over
It's written all over your face
Tell me, what's the secret that you've been hiding?
And who's gonna take my place?
I should have seen it coming,
I should have read the signs
Anyway, I guess it's over
Can't believe that I'm a fool again
I thought this love would never end,
How was I to know?
You never told me
Can't believe that I'm a fool again,
And I who thought you were my friend,
How was I to know?
You never told me
I thought this love would never end,
How was I to know?
You never told me
Can't believe that I'm a fool again,
And I who thought you were my friend,
How was I to know?
You never told me
Baby, you should've called me,
When you were lonely,
When you needed me to be there
Sadly, you never gave me
Too many chances to show you
How much I care
Ooh, should have seen it coming,
I should have read the signs
Anyway, I guess it's over
When you were lonely,
When you needed me to be there
Sadly, you never gave me
Too many chances to show you
How much I care
Ooh, should have seen it coming,

I thought this love would never end,
How was I to know?
You never told me
Can't believe that I'm a fool again,
And I who thought you were my friend,
How was I to know?
You never told me
About the pain and the tears
Ooh, If I could,
I would, turn back the time
Ooh yeah I should have seen it coming
I should have read the signs
Anyway, I guess it's over
Ooh, If I could,
I would, turn back the time
Ooh yeah I should have seen it coming

2. Nothing Gonna Change My Love For You ( 2006 )
Lagu bergenre smooth jazz ini dipopulerkan lebih dahulu oleh George Benson pada tahun 1985. fyi, lagu ini pun sampai saat ini masih sering diputar khususnya pada acara-acara pernikahan. Kenapa ? karena lagu ini menceritakan tentang segala perasaan yang dicurahkan oleh seorang lelaki kepada kekasihnya bahwa " nothing gonna change my love for you"

If I had to live my life without you near me
The days would all be empty
The nights would seem so long
With you I see forever, oh, so clearly
I might have been in love before
But it never felt this strong

The nights would seem so long
With you I see forever, oh, so clearly

They'll take us where we want to go
Hold me now, touch me now
I don't want to live without you
They'll take us where we want to go
Hold me now, touch me now

You don't have to change a thing
I love you just the way you are
Our love will lead the way for us
Like a guiding star
I'll be there for you if you should need me
You don't have to change a thing
I love you just the way you are
So come with me and share the view
I'll help you see forever too
Hold me now, touch me now

1. If I Let You Go ( 1999 )

Lagu ini merupakan lagu paling favorit bagi gue. Bukan hanya karena ini adalah lagu pertama westlife yang gue denger tapi setelah gue pahami lagunya 'gue banget' ( dahulu ya bukan sekarang :) ). Intinya menurut penafsiran gue lagu ini menceritakan tentang seorang laki-laki yang menyukai seorang perempuan tetapi dia malu untuk mengungkapkan perasaanya hingga pada suatu saat dia ingin melupakan perempuan itu tapi ngak pernah bisa. HAHAHA dalem ya

Day after day
Time passed away
And I just can't get you out of my mind
Nobody knows, I hide it inside
I keep on searching but I just can't find
The courage to show to let you know
I've never felt love like this before
And once again I'm thinking about
Taking the easy way out
Time passed away
And I just can't get you out of my mind
Nobody knows, I hide it inside
I keep on searching but I just can't find
The courage to show to let you know
I've never felt love like this before
And once again I'm thinking about
Taking the easy way out
But if I let you go I will never know
What my life would be holding you close to me
Will I ever see you smiling back at me ? (oh yeah)
How will I know if I let you go ?
What my life would be holding you close to me
Will I ever see you smiling back at me ? (oh yeah)
How will I know if I let you go ?
Night after night I hear myself say
Why don't this feeling just fade away
There's no one like you (no one like you)
You speak to my heart (speak to my heart)
It's such a a shame we're worlds apart
I'm too shy to ask, I'm too proud to lose
But sooner or later I gotta choose
And once again I'm thinking about
Taking the easy way out
Why don't this feeling just fade away
There's no one like you (no one like you)
You speak to my heart (speak to my heart)
It's such a a shame we're worlds apart
I'm too shy to ask, I'm too proud to lose
But sooner or later I gotta choose
And once again I'm thinking about
Taking the easy way out
If I let you go I will never know
What my life would be, holding you close to me

How will I know if I let you go ?
What my life would be, holding you close to me
Will I ever see you smiling back at me? (oh yeah)
How will I know if I let you go ?
If I let you go ooooh baby
Ooooooooohhhhh
Once again I'm thinking about
Taking the easy way out
Ooooooooohhhhh
Once again I'm thinking about
Taking the easy way out
