Lagu 'Manis' dari Dashboard Confessional

Tau Dashboard Confessional? Band yang dimotori oleh Chris Carraba ini menjadi salah satu band pengisi acara di POND'S TEENS CONCERT, yang akan diadain minggu depan (29/5) di Lapangan D, Gelora Bung Karno. Lagu-lagu dari Dashboard Confessional (DC) kebanyakan bertema cinta dan bercerita soal patah hati. Diiringi gitar akustik serta warna vokal Chris yang 'halus', gue jatuh cinta pada pendengaran pertama sama band ini, lewat lagu A Plain Morning. Begitu denger di Trax FM, gue langsung suka! Dan cinta ini berlanjut ke lagu-lagu DC yang lain seperti, Sweet Army Romance, Screaming Infidelities, Stolen, Hands Down, Thick As Thieves, sampai lagu-lagu dari album terbaru mereka, Alter The Ending.

Lagu di bawah ini juga salah satu favorit gue dari mereka :D padahal ada cerita tragis di baliknya HAHAHA. Jadi, sebenernya lagu ini sempet gue cuekin. Artinya, abis gue download ngga langsung didengerin. Malah tiap nge-set playlist di komputer, gue sengaja menghindari lagu ini. Nah, suatu kali ada rasa penasaran yang hinggap di otak dan akhirnya gue memutuskan untuk ngedengerin ni lagu. Ada kali 2 bulan lebih gue ngga ngotak-ngatik file lagu ini.

Dan setelah gue dengerin...... gue ngga menyesal karna memutuskan untuk mainin itu lagu! Lagunya bagussss, sweet hihihi ;) suaranya Chris juga menyenangkan, as always :)

Tema lagu ini adalah.. cinta :)) tapi, bukan cinta biasa. Kalo lo coba dengerin liriknya, pasti bakal ketawa deh :D karna isi liriknya, ya, emang lucu. Jenis lucu yang manis gitu loh. HAHAHA. Pasti pada bingung, hahaha soalnya gue juga bingung jelasinnya gimana... pokonya.. lucu deh. Baca sendiri aja ya!

Oh iya, lagu ini ikutan ngisi soundtrack film Shrek loh :DD

As Lovers Go Dashboard Confessional

She said "I've gotta be honest,
You're wasting your time if you're fishing round here."
And I said "You must be mistaken,
I'm not fooling... this feeling is real"
She said "You gotta be crazy,
What do you take me for? Some kind of easy mark?
"You've got wits, you've got looks,
You've got passion, but I swear that you've got me all wrong."

All wrong.
All wrong.
But you got me...

I'll be true, I'll be useful...
I'll be cavalier... I'll be yours my dear.
And I'll belong to you...
If you'll just let me through.
This is easy as lovers go,
So don't complicate it by hesitating.
And this is wonderful as loving goes,
This is tailor-made, whats the sense in waiting?

And I said "I've gotta be honest
I've been waiting for you all my life."
For so long I thought I was asylum bound,
But just seeing you makes me think twice.
And being with you here makes me sane,
I fear I'll go crazy if you leave my side.
You've got wits... you've got looks,
You've got passion but are you brave enough to leave with me tonight?

Tonight.
Tonight.
But you've got me...
