Terkadang lagu bisa saja ya pas dengan kehidupan seseorang. Aku dari dulu suka mendengar lagu Dolphins yang dinyanyikan Beth Orton dan Terry Callier. Liriknya bagus dan mungkin kebetulan lagi melankolis pas pertama kali dengar, maka liriknya nyantol begitu saja:
I've been searching...for the dolphins in the sea
Sometimes I wonder do you ever think of me...
Jika ditilik, lirik baris atas dan bawah nggak ada hubungannya. Cuma seperti pantun: berima. 'Sea' berima dengan 'me'. Aku pun tidak tahu, siapa itu 'you' dalam lirik. Coba cek saja:
This old world may never change
The way it's always been
and all the ways of war
Cannot change it back again
I've been searching...for the dolphins in the sea
Sometimes I wonder do you ever think of me...
I'm not the one to tell this world
How to get along
I only know that peace will come
When all the hate is gone
I've been searching...for the dolphins in the sea
Sometimes I wonder do you ever think of me...
Sometimes I think about
Saturday's child
And all about the time
You and me were running wild
I've been searching...for the dolphins in the sea
Sometimes I wonder do you ever think of me...
Kalau ditilik liriknya, 'you' mungkin adalah 'Saturday's child'. Siapa itu? Aku jadi penasaran. Sambil cari-cari info, aku nemu bahwa penyanyi aslinya adalah Fred Neil. Jadi, siapa itu Saturday's child-nya Neil? Entah, tapi yang pasti di Wikipedia, ada referensi tentang Saturday's Child:
Saturday's child works hard for a living...
