I Know Him So Well

Beberapa hari terakhir ini, gue memilih mendengarkan lagu di ipod gue secara shuffle. Biasanya gue lebih memilih mendengarkan lagu berdasarkan albumnya. Mungkin karena terbiasa mendengarkan kaset/CD 1 album, jadi pada waktu punya ipod pun gue jarang memasukkan lagu-nya saja. Biasanya langsung 1 album gue masukkin semua.

Dan suatu hari, or suatu malam, pada saat mendengarkan lagu "Angel" yang dinyanyiin sama John Barrowman, gue memutuskan untuk mendengarkan seluruh lagu dari album John Barrowan "Music, Music, Music" dan tiba-tiba gue stumble upon this one beautiful and wonderful song..."I Know Him So Well".

FYI, John Barrowman itu penyanyi kelahiran Skotland tapi besar di Amrik, pemain broadway theater gitu, jadi suaranya udah pasti keren, dan [ini baru gue sadari belakangan] kalo dia nyanyi, lafal nya itu jelas. Jadi kita bisa denger dia ngomong apa.

Dan lagu "I Know Him So Well" ini membuat gue...antara kaget, tercengang, terpesona, sampe gue menajamkan telinga gue baek-baek. Sampe akhirnya gue nyari di wikipedia by handphone...dan setelah mengtahui siapa yang menyanyikan lagu ini di album John Barrowman (it's a duet), gue baru mengerti.

Kenapa gue kaget, tercengang, dan terpesona?

Karena...ini dinyanyikan secara duet oleh dua orang pria, dengan judul "I Know Him So Well"...you guess the rest.

Aslinya, dinyanyikan oleh dua orang, Ellen Paige (terkenal karena menyanyikan lagu "Memory" from Andrew Llyod Webber' "Cats") dan Barbara Dickson untuk Broadway Musical Chess.

Gue pinginya sih cuma naro lagunya doang...tapi sepertinya gak ketemu jadi lebih baik gue taro youtube-nya aja, tapi emang cuma lagu doang, dinyanyikan oleh John Barrowman dan Daniel Boys



Ini liriknya

Nothing is so good it lasts eternally
Perfect Situations must go wrong
But this has never yet prevented me
Wanting far too much for far too long.

Looking back I could have played it differently
Won a few more moments who can tell
But it took time to understand the man
Now at least I know I know him well

Wasn't it good (oh so good)
Wasn't he fine (oh so fine)
Isn't it madness
He can't be mine.

But in the end he needs a little bit more than me
More Security
He needs his fantasy and freedom
I know him so well

No-one in your life is with you constantly
No-one is completely on your side
And though I move my world to be with him,
Still the gap between us is too wide

Looking back I could have played it differently
(looking back I could have played it some other way)
Won a few more moments who can tell
(I was just a little careless maybe)
But I was ever so much younger then
Now at least I know I know him well

Wasn't it good (oh so good)
Wasn't he fine (oh so fine)
Isn't it madness
He won't be mine.

Didn't I know, How it would go
If I knew from the start
Why am I falling apart

Wasn't it good
Wasn't he fine
Isn't it madness
He won't be mine.

But in the end he needs a little bit more than me
More Security
He needs his fantasy and freedom
I know him so well

It took time to understand him
I know him so well.


Buat yang masih belum ngeh...both of them is gay. Oh yeah!

Tapi suer deh...gue suka banget sama nih lagu!!!!

Mungkin karena dinyanyiin sama John Barrowman dan Daniel Boys ini gue jadi tergila-gila...

Berasa banget despair-nya ....

Duh...gue gila kali ya...

Yang bikin bengong tuh kata-kata

"Isn't it madness, he can't be mine"

Duh...kebayang gak sih, you're in love with someone, but he can't be yours because you have the wrong sex! Oh GOD!

This song I dedicated special for my lovely and wonderful gay friend...you know who you are :)

I hope you won't have to use this song as the soundtrack of your life!!!
