Sedikit Ulasan The Daughtry

Sebenernya ini band udah lawas banget, sekitar tahun 2006 dibentuk sama finalis American Idol season 5, Chris Daughtry. That's why we called them as The Daughtry. Eits! tapi The Daughtry ini bukan solo project-nya si Chris, cuma namanya aja yang diambil buat bandnya.

Awal tahu tentang The Daughtry itu ga sengaja gara-gara baca teenlit Dear Dylan karya Stephanie Zen. Thanks for Stephanie Zen that made me know and love this band. Kenapa aku bisa falling love sama ini lagu?

1. Easy listening.

2. Liriknya yang to the point.

3. Peramuan musiknya yang catchy dan porsinya pas.

4. Pas banget buat cerita Dear Dylan.

Menurutku, kekuatan musik mereka ada di bagaimana mereka meracik musik mereka. Aliran mereka yang pop rock juga ngebuat mereka bisa mengexplore musik yang dimainkan. terus liriknya itu lho! Godverdomme! ini menohok banget buat aku yang pertama kali baca liriknya dan dengerin lagunya. Pop rock ga berarti mereka ga bisa buat lagu yang menohok. ini aku kasih 3 contoh lagunya.

What About Now
Shadows fill an empty heart
As love is fading,
From all the things that we are
But are not saying.
Can we see beyond the scars
And make it to the dawn?

Change the colors of the sky.
And open up to
The ways you made me feel alive,
The ways I loved you.
For all the things that never died,
To make it through the night,
Love will find you.

What about now?
What about today?
What if you’re making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love never went away?
What if it’s lost behind words we could never find?
Baby, before it’s too late,
What about now?
Used To

I look around me,
And I want you to be there
‘Cause I miss the things that we shared.
Look around you.
It’s empty, and you’re sad
‘Cause you miss the love that we had.

You used to talk to me like
I was the only one around,
The only one around.

We used to have this figured out;
We used to breathe without a doubt.
When nights were clear, you were the first star that I’d see.
We used to have this under control.
We never thought.

We used to know.
At least there’s you, and at least there’s me.
Can we get this back?
Can we get this back to how it used to be?
To how it used to be, yeah...

Over You

And when you slammed the front door shut
A lot of others opened up
So did my eyes so I could see
That you never were the best for me

Well, I never saw it coming
I should have started running
A long, long time ago

And I never thought I'd doubt you
I'm better off without you
More than you, more than you know
  
I'm slowly getting closure
i guess it's really over
I'm finally getting better

And now I'm picking up the pieces
I'm spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together

Come the day I thought I'd never get through,
I got over you

 Dari semua 12 track lagu yang ada di album pertama mereka, Daughtry, 3 lagu ini yang bener-bener punya kesan menohok

What About Now itu bercerita tentang 2 orang yang pernah dekat tapi terus pisah. Dan di sini liriknya lugas banget, apalagi di bagian reff.

Used To itu bercerita tentang seseorang cowok/cewek yang pengin balik lagi sama mantannya. Dari liriknya sih menurutku engga memohon yang sampai you must with me or you die.

Over You itu bercerita tentang si tokoh yang stronger without his/her love. Cerita seorang tokoh yang bisa survive a.k.a move on.
