As Long As You're Mine

ELPHABA
Kiss me too fiercely
Hold me too tight
I need help believing
You're with me tonight
My wildest dreamings
Could not foresee
Lying beside you
With you wanting me

And just for this moment
As long as you're mine
I've lost all resistance
And crossed some borderline
And if it turns out
It's over too fast
I'll make ev'ry last moment last
As long as you're mine

FIYERO
Maybe I'm brainless
Maybe I'm wise
But you've got me seeing
Through different eyes
Somehow I've fallen
Under your spell
And somehow I'm feeling
It's "up" that I fell

BOTH
Every moment
As long as you're mine
I'll wake up my body
And make up for lost time

FIYERO
Say there's no future
For us as a pair

BOTH
And though I may know
I don't care!
Just for this moment
As long as you're mine
Come be how you want to
And see how bright we shine
Borrow the moonlight
Until it is through
And know I'll be here holding you
As long as you're mine

Ini lagu dari pertunjukkan Broadway, Wicked, berdasarkan buku karangan Gregory Maguire; Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West.

Soal pertunjukkan Broadwaynya, Wicked, dah pernah gue bahas di postingan yang lalu-lalu. Judulnya Wicked, silakan mampir :)

Sedangkan untuk bukunya... hm... rasanya udah pernah dibahas, tapi lupa ditaro di mana...nanti coba di cari deh ya...

Anyway, baru aja mengunduh album David Burnham yang pernah berperan jadi Fiyero, salah satu tokoh utama di Wicked. Dari segi suara...David ini suaranya mirip lah dengan John Barrowman maupun Daniel Boys; agak keras, dengan artikulasi yang jelas, tapi tanpa memberi kesan teriak. Mungkin memang ini ciri khas penyanyi Broadway kali ya, karena mereka harus bisa 'bercakap-cakap' melalui nyanyian mereka. Lalu...apa bedanya dengan penyanyi opera? Ada yang bisa bantu? Dito... :)

So...di salah satu lagu David Burnham di albumnya itu, ada judul lagu "As Long As You're Mine" yang dinyanyikan duet dan begitu pertama kali denger selintas, langsung menarik hati dan menempel di telinga. There's something about the way they sing, the melody, and the lyric. Terutama di bagian refrain.

Setelah beberapa kali denger, baru tadi cari liriknya dan jeng jeng jeng...langsung ngeh gue kenapa gue bisa tertarik. Ternyata lagunya Wicked! Lagu yang dinyanyiin sama Fiyero (perannya David Burnham) dan Elphaba.

Enggak cukup sekedar mencari liriknya, gue penasaran dengan pementasannya. Maka dibukalah youtube. Dan...well well well...gue menemukan bahwa ADAM LAMBERT pernah menjadi Fiyero!! He was an understudy for Fiyero. Dan dia pernah berperan sebagai Fiyero! OMG!!! Makes me more and more in love with Wicked AND Adam Lambert!! Who knew!?!

So...gue kasih denger 3 versi. Versi rekaman from original cast, versi David Burnham, dan versi Adam Lambert. Paling jernih jelas yang pertama, karena yang kedua dan ketiga merupakan rekaman video. Dan terakhir...untuk yang ingin mengunduh versi David Burnham...ini gue kasih linknya.
