mood: post gastronomical exercise languidity
music: superman - five for fighting (didn't remember the lyrics then, sure as hell don't remember them now...*lol*)
ok ok...i've been asked this question one too many times. so i guess now it's time i speak up.
there were only so many times that i was this insane about a band or an artiste. it started with luke perry of beverly hills 90210 (remember the hair? *swoon*). then it was take that for the loooo oooooooooooooongest time (mark owen was beyond cute ok!). more recently was singapore's very own abang opik batisah...but that one i was kindda grey for me...my adoration for him was born out of my disgust at having a certain cher yer nun alip win the SI competition.
so why peterpan? why now?
it started with a group of orphans singing "dan mungkin bila nanti kita kan bertemu lagi" to some facilitators who were saying a very difficult goodbye. just imagine that? two people from totally different backgrounds thrown together by fate and by fate, they will part. almost as poignant as "i'll see you when you get there...if you ever get there...will you ever get there..." kindda emotion. a rhetorical question that will kill you to answer.
it started with mungkin nanti. then there was mimpi yang sempurna back when my special angle still loved me ("aku dan semua yang terluka kerana kita"). ayah aceh tercinta ("lihatlah hari berganti namun tiada seindah dulu") made me ache to be the person i was when i was there. di atas normal jumped me from behind ("ku mencari hati yang ku benci") when he came into my life, shook me to my very core and threatened to break every single one of my principles. tak bisakah ("hatiku bimbang namun tetap pikirkanmu") made me miss peterpan so much when it signalled the end of their merdaka stadium concert. then...no need to say lah hor...kukatakan dengan indah ("kau buat ku terjatuh dan terjatuh lagi") described the entire alampeterpan experience. being in bandung was all about menunggumu ("bila rindu ini masih milikmu"). and now, even though awak and i are counting down the mere days left, it's still khayalan tingkat tinggi ("yang ku nanti saat memegang tangannya")
it's not like i went looking for the songs to fill the soundtrack of my life. the songs found me.
yang terdalam ("takkan lelah aku menanti takkan hilang cintaku ini") , taman langit ("ini taman langitku. tak perlu kau bayangkan") and tertinggalkan waktu ("kau sadari semua yang berjalan telah tinggalkan mu") were included not for any specific reason other than the fact that it was love at first hearing. the very first time i heard these three songs, i knew i was in love. i didn't care that these tunes were not commercially arranged...i loved them for that. tertinggalkan waktu holds the record for being my all-time favourite peterpan tune.
therefore peeps...it's really very simple. i get peterpan. peterpan gets me. and the ones who ask me, "why peterpan?" don't get it.
lost in translation
"dan mungkin bila nanti kita kan bertemu lagi" - "when will we ever meet again"
"aku dan semua yang terluka kerana kita" - "me and all who were hurt by us"
"lihatlah hari berganti namun tiada seindah dulu" - "the days go by but it will never be as beautiful as before"
"hatiku bimbang namun tetap pikirkanmu" - "my heart worries but still i think of you"
"kau buat ku terjatuh dan terjatuh lagi" - "you make me fall and fall all over again"
"bila rindu ini masih milikmu" - "when you are still the one i miss"
"yang ku nanti saat memegang tangannya" - "i wanna hold your hand" (ala the beatles like that)
"takkan lelah aku menanti takkan hilang cintaku ini" - "i won't be weary of waiting. the love that i have won't fade"
"ini taman langitku. tak perlu kau bayangkan" - "this is my sky garden. there's no need for you to imagine"
"kau sadari semua yang berjalan telah tinggalkan mu" - "you realized all that's passed has left you behind"
crap i'm totally butchering peterpan's works....sorry boril! : )
