12th Bridge - "A Man and His Memory" Lyrics

A Man and His Memory

Oh my dream
I'm sorry that i can't make you live
But now you've gone and impossible
Life could be better if you around

Oh my heart
I'm sorry that i broke you apart
But now she's gone and never come back
You could be better if she's around

But now it's just you and me
A man and his memory
We can say that we're lonely
Aren't we?
If i could have done better
Everything here would be brighter
So it's not just you and me
Memory
Oh my memory

Oh my life
When i was a child i never
Dream of you to turned out like this
You could be better, oh you could

But i've no regret
This is what i got from what i've done
Life is like a mirror of yourself
You will see better if you show better

But now it's just you and me
A man and his memory
We can say that we're lonely
Aren't we?
If i could have done better
Everything here would be brighter
So it's not just you and me
Memory
Oh my memory

Sedikit cerita tentang lagunya:

Gue punya kenalan seorang pria yang udah tua, dia hidup sebatang kara, pernah berkeluarga namun bercerai sebelum sempat punya keturunan, sekarang keluarga sedarah yang dia punya hanya kakak-kakaknya, namun mereka terpisah jarak ratusan kilometer jauhnya, ditambah usia yang sudah tua membuat perpisahan selamanya seolah dapat terjadi setiap saat. Ketika pertama gue denger kisahnya gue tersentuh, gue ngebayangin gimana rasanya jadi dia. Apa dia marah terhadap dirinya sendiri? Apa dulu dia pernah ngebayang atau bahkan meminta masa tua seperti ini? Apa dia menyesal? Seolah-olah saat ini hal yang dia miliki cuma dirinya dan pikirannya (memory-nya), yang isinya-seandainya itu hidup gue-akan penuh dengan rasa marah dan penyesalan. Moral story-nya mungkin jadi: "jangan sia-siakan masa muda, jangan sia-siakan hidupmu".

Soal musiknya, gue bereksperimen dengan gabungin elemen musik Melayu dengan genre Rock. Ditambah "Orkestra-Mini" ala gue yang ngebuat aroma Melayu jadi makin kental. Yaa menurut gue hasilnya cukup unik...atau lucu, tergantung selera lo :)
