Single Terbaru : Avril Lavigne – Wish You Were Here

Keberadaan presentasi terbaik terhadap lagu pop rock karya Max Martin dan Shellback untuk penyanyi wanita memang tidak terletak pada satu nama saja. Tapi kenyataan kalau Avril Lavigne mampu membawakan lagu-lagu tersebut dengan sebentuk emosi yang terpancar dalam nyanyiannya adalah sesuatu yang belum tentu bisa disampaikan oleh penyanyi lain untuk karya Max dan Shellback. Ini bisa kita nikmati secara utuh dalam lagu ‘Wish You Were Here‘ yang masih diambil dari album “Goodbye Lullaby”. Lagu ini stand out dibanding dua single sebelumnya, karena jalur pop rock yang soft dengan intro yang nge-akustik menjadi sajiannya, beda dari ‘Smile’ dan ‘What The Hell’ yang menghentak girang.

Damn! Berasa terkoneksi dengan lirik yang mengiba dalam nyanyian yang benar-benar make hati. Memberikan keterlibatan empati bagi pendengar untuk memosisikan diri pada apa yang dihadapi di lagunya. Best part of the song is the bridge. Selain musik yang dikasih dengar ke kita sedap banget yang berasal dari piano, ada juga vokal latar Avril yang mendendang merdu, sayup-sayup tapi berasa.

Jempol buat trio Avril, Max, dan Shellback yang bisa membuat sebuah lagu cinta enggak terdengar seperti biasa. Enggak mesti penuh angan-angan berdua bahagia selamanya dalam berbagai ungkapan yang benar-benar fancy. Tapi cukup dengan sebuah harapan “I wish you were here”, rasanya udah tersampaikan semua pesan cinta yang dipunya.

LYRIC Avril Lavigne – Wish You Were Here

I can be tough

I can be strong

But with you, it’s not like that at all

There’s a girl

who gives a shit

behind this wall

You’ve just walked through it

And I remember all those crazy things you said

You left them running through my head

You’re always there, you’re everywhere

But right now I wish you were here.

All those crazy things we did

Didn’t think about it, just went with it

You’re always there, you’re everywhere

But right now I wish you were here

Damn, Damn, Damn,

What I’d do to have you

here, here, here

I wish you were here.

Damn, Damn, Damn

What I’d do to have you

near, near, near

I wish you were here.

I love the way you are

It’s who I am, don’t have to try hard

We always say, say like it is

And the truth is that I really miss

All those crazy things you said

You left them running through my head

You’re always there, you’re everywhere

But right now I wish you were here.

All those crazy things we did

Didn’t think about it, just went with it

You’re always there, you’re everywhere

But right now I wish you were here

[Chorus:]

Damn, Damn, Damn,

What I’d do to have you

here, here, here

I wish you were here.

Damn, Damn, Damn

What I’d do to have you

near, near, near

I wish you were here.

[Bridge:]

No, I don’t wanna let go

I just wanna let you know

That I never wanna let go

(let go let go let go let go)

No, I don’t wanna let go

I just wanna let you know

That I never wanna let go

(let go let go let go let go let go let go let go)

Damn, Damn, Damn,

What I’d do to have you

here, here, here

I wish you were here (I wish you were)

Damn, Damn, Damn

What I’d do to have you

near, near, near

I wish you were here.

Damn, Damn, Damn,

What I’d do to have you

here, here, here

I wish you were here.

Damn, Damn, Damn

What I’d do to have you

near, near, near

I wish you were here. [source]
