Kali ini aku mau posting salah satu lagu yang aku sukai, yang paling sering kudengar. Yang paling sering juga kudendangkan kalo lagi bad mood.

So, here’s the lyric:

I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete
Oh simple thing where have you gone
I’m getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you’re gonna let me in
I’m getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

I came across a fallen tree
I felt the branches of it looking at me
Is this the place we used to love?
Is this the place that I’ve been dreaming of?

Oh simple thing where have you gone
I’m getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you’re gonna let me in
I’m getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

And if you have a minute why don’t we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don’t we go
Somewhere only we know?

Oh simple thing where have you gone
I’m getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you’re gonna let me in
I’m getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

And if you have a minute why don’t we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don’t we go
Somewhere only we know?

This could be the end of everything
So why don’t we go
Somewhere only we know?

Why this song?

I don’t know. I just find it…special, you know “somewhere only we know”, sounds like a sacred secret place which is known only by several persons. Sounds like a cozy place to relax, to find relieve, to let go of…stressful days. I don’t have that thing, the “somewhere only we know”. The only place to relax is my room, with turquoise soft blanket and a Tweety doll (given by Kak Icha).

I wanna have that “somewhere only we know”. Hmm..Medan, I guess. I love Medan. I wanna come back there again, someday. That’s the place where my life’s clock began to tick out, and is still ticking out. How many years I have? I have no idea, my doctor refuse to tell me. LOL.

I remember something. Well, last year, when I was in Jakarta with my brother, he took me for a walk. I saw a man, a blind man actually. He walked…alone, dengan tongkatnya. Ya Allah…, hatiku terenyuh. Remuk.

I’m good at hiding emotions. Trust me. I’m perfect at it (you know, I guess I deserve an Academy Award for Best Actress of No Emotion). When I saw him that day, walking in front of me and my brother, I show no emotion. I keep walking, gently. But deep down inside, I scream, “God…, why? Why him?”. I couldn’t help him. No, I couldn’t. Cuz I am a woman. I may not touch his hand and lead him. That’s forbidden. And I was with my brother. I told him to help him, but it seems he’s just like me, emotionless outside, and broken inside. That’s pathetic, don’t you think?
