Single of The Day: Matisyahu - One Day

Oleh: welly - 29 Aug 2009

PhotobucketDengan latar belakang yahudinya, Matthew Paul Miller, demikian nama aslinya, memakai sudut pandang etnisitasnya terhadap polemik yang saat ini tengah terjadi. Dan ini membuat lagu ini menjadi berbeda.

Vokal Matisyahu yang terkesan gahar tapi letih sendiri sangat berpengaruh dalam membangun atmosfir sendu dalam lagu ini, meski sebenarnya lagu bergerak dalam tempo yang lumayan cepat. Walhasil, maksud dan tujuan lagu bisa lebih tersampirkan.

Kalau ingin mendengar lagu antemik yang berbeda sekaligus menyentuh dalam kontemplasi, maka 'One Day' milik Matisyahu ini bisa menjadi penawar dahaga akan kerinduan lagu-lagu sejenis. Single 'One Day' ini merupakan single pertama dari album ke-3 yg berjudul "Light" yg release tgl 25 Agustus. (Haris / CreativeDisc Contributors)

LYRIC:

sometimes I lay

under the moon

and thank God I'm breathing

then I pray

don't take me soon

cause I'm here for a reason

sometimes in my tears I drown

but I never let it get me down

so when negativity surrounds

I know some day it'll all turn around

because

all my live I've been waiting for

I've been praying for

for the people to say

that we don't wanna fight no more

they'll be no more wars

and our children will play

one day x6

it's not about

win or lose

because we all lose

when they feed on the souls of the innocent

blood drenched pavement

keep on moving though the waters stay raging

in this maze you can lose your way (your way)

it might drive you crazy but don't let it faze you no way (no way)

sometimes in my tears I drown

but I never let it get me down

so my negativity surrounds

I know some day it'll all turn around

because

all my live I've been waiting for

I've been praying for

for the people to say

that we don't wanna fight no more

they'll be no more wars

and our children will play

one day x6

one day this all will change

treat people the same

stop with the violence

down with the hate

one day we'll all be free

and proud to be

under the same sun

singing songs of freedom like

one day x4

all my live I've been waiting for

I've been praying for

for the people to say

that we don't wanna fight no more

they'll be no more wars

and our children will play

one day x6

ooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
