BYE BYE JACKO….!
Kejadian yang terjadi pada akhir bulan juni 2009 ini menggemparkan dunia. Dunia kehilangan seorang tokoh fenomenal, Michael Jackson yang akrab di sapa Jacko. Begitu banyak isu yang bermunculan akan penyebab kematian nya seperti serangan jantung, OD, bahkan parahnya sempat terdengar isu pembunuhan. Terlepas dari semua itu, baiknya dunia merefleksikan ’what he give to the world’, apa yang telah dia berikan pada dunia, karya-karyanya sangat berpengaruh pada warga dunia. Hmm.. pasca fenomena meninggalnya sang inspirator, aku merenung kejadian bulan Mei 2009 kemarin, dimana pada waktu itu, spontan otak ku think bout Jacko. Pengen dengerin all song-nya dia, sampe bela-belain keliling Pangkalpinang buat cari CD, VCD, atau MP3 nya lah, tapi ga dapat hasil (Memang Pangkalpinang always keterbatasan akan hal ini.. satu hal yang tidak kusuka akan kotaku), akhirnya aku habisin waktu berjam-jam buat download MP3 nya di warnet. Niat ku untuk download salah satu lagu yang memang aku hunting banget, dimana dulu aku lupa judulnya, liricnya, syairnya (kuburan kali!) hanya tau liric yang ’Aaaaaahhhh’.. itu saja. Ingatan ku memang rada soak kayaknya. Untung nya www.letssingit.com membantu ku. Yack.. Earth Song-nya Jacko adalah lagu yang paling aku suka. The best song of my life. Lagu yang punya nilai historis tersendiri buat ku, Lagu yang bikin aku nangis seharian pas SD (liat video klipnya yang touching me banget), video klip yang hanya aku lihat satu sekali pada saat itu, sampe sekarang masih tergambar jelas di benakku bagaimana disaster happens in this world, binatang yang dibunuh, gajah yang ga bergading, penebangan hutan liar, kebakaran, dan peperangan. Sampe sekarang pun aku ga pernah lihat lagi video clipnya. Satu kali untuk seumur hidup (pengennya liat lagi). Kejadian menarik juga, aku sempet lari tunggang langgang ketakutan lihat clip ’Thriller’-nya yang serem, walaupun begitu aku suka ngikutin dance ’ghost’ nya itu. Lagu-lagu nya yang full humanis diselingi nilai-nilai kemanusiaan, no diskriminasi ras. Salut for u!
Another day has gone
I’m still all alone
How could this be
You’re not here with me
You never said goodbye
Someone tell me why
Did you have to go
And leave my world so cold
Everyday I sit and ask myself
How did love slip away
Something whispers in my ear and says
That you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though you’re far away
I am here to stay
Though we’re far apart
You’re always in my heart
But you are not alone

Musikmu berpengaruh pada duniaku, hai inspirator ku..
Walaupun kau telah pergi, kau meninggalkan karya-karya untuk dunia, karya mu akan tetap mengudara di duniaku dan di dunia ini. Yakin itu. You are not go alone, I am here with you, Dunia mendoakan mu. Kan ku kenang selalu. Bye bye, Jacko…

What about sunrise
What about rain
What about all the things
That you said we were to gain...
What about killing fields
]Is there a time
What about all the things
That you said was yours and mine...
Did you ever stop to notice
All the blood we've shed before
Did you ever stop to notice
The crying Earth the weeping shores?
Aaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaah
Aaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaah
What have we done to the world
Look what we've done
What about all the peace
That you pledge your only son...
What about flowering fields
Is there a time
What about all the dreams
That you said was yours and mine...
Did you ever stop to notice
All the children dead from war
Did you ever stop to notice
The crying Earth the weeping shores
Aaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaah
Aaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaah
I used to dream
I used to glance beyond the stars
Now I don't know where we are
Although I know we've drifted far
]Aaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaah
Hey, what about yesterday(What about us)
What about the seas (What about us)
The heavens are falling down (What about us)
I can't even breathe (What about us)
What about the bleeding Earth(What about us)
Can't we feel its wounds (What about us)
What about nature's worth(ooo, ooo)
It's our planet's womb(What about us)
What about animals(What about it)
We've turned kingdoms to dust(What about us)
What about elephants(What about us)
Have we lost their trust(What about us)
What about crying whales(What about us)
We're ravaging the seas(What about us)
What about forest trails (ooo, ooo)
Burnt despite our pleas (What about us)
What about the holy land(What about it)
Torn apart by creed(What about us)
What about the common man(What about us)
Can't we set him free(What about us)
What about children dying(What about us)
Can't you hear them cry(What about us)
Where did we go wrong (ooo, ooo)
Someone tell me why(What about us)
What about babies (What about it)
What about the days(What about us)
What about all their joy(What about us)
What about the man(What about us)
What about the crying man (What about us)
What about Abraham (What was us)
What about death again(ooo, ooo)
Do we give a damn
Aaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaah
