Baru nemu lagu yang lucu banget. Mengingatkan pada kisah pribadi yang tragis. Saat kasih tak sampai, seringkali saya terperosok dalam lembah google dimana saya mendapati diri saya meng-google nama dia yang tak mungkin dimiliki huehehe.. Pathetic ya?
Untuk teman ber-pathetic ria seperti ini, saya langsung tau harus menghubungi siapa: mantan partner jaman kuliah. Begitu saya kasihtau lirik ini, dia langsung bereaksi sama dengan saya: whoaaa.. gw banget nih!
Btw untuk saya sendiri, kata-kata "google" di lagu ini terkadang bisa disubstitusikan dengan "friendster", "facebook", atau "gmail". Siapa bilang teknologi tidak bisa romantis? :)
Hahahah.. enjoy the song only, not the tragic story! :)
I Google you
late at night when I don’t know what to do
I find photos
you’ve forgotten
you were in
put up by your friends
I Google you
when the day is done and everything is through
I read your journal
that you kept
that month in France
I’ve watched you dance
And I’m pleased your name is practically unique
it’s only you and
a would-be PhD in Chesapeake
who writes papers on
the structure of the sun
I’ve read each one
I know that I
should let you fade
but there’s that box
and there’s your name
somehow it never makes the pain
grow less or fade or disappear
I think that I should save my soul and
I should crawl back in my hole
But it’s too easy just to fold
and type your name again
I fear
I google you
Whenever I’m alone and feeling blue
And each scrap of information
That I gather
says you’ve got somebody new
And it really shouldn’t matter
ought to blow up my computer
but instead….
I google you
Lyrics by Neil Gaiman, performed by Amanda Palmer in a jazz version here.
