Single of The Day: Keane ft.K'Naan - Stop For A Minute

Oleh: welly - 03 May 2010

PhotobucketOne of my favourite band, Keane akan merilis EP mereka Night Train yang akan dirilis pada April ini.Ada 8 lagu yang masuk di album ini dan mereka memajukan single pertamanya "Stop For A Minute" featuring rapper yang jadi bahan pembicaraan di seluruh dunia berkat singlenya "Wavin' Flag" menjadi lagu official untuk piala dunia 2010 nanti yaitu K'Naan.

Menurut frontman Keane sendiri Tom Chaplin mereka tidak akan mengulang piano rock sound lagi dan menurutnya tiap rekaman yang mereka buat pasti nuansanya berbeda dengan satu sama lain. Dan ini terbukti di single pertama mereka "Stop For A Minute".

Beat lagu ini sedikit menyentuh beat musik R&B, kurang lebih beatnya sama seperti Beyonce yang Halo. Suara Tom Chaplin dan K'Naan sama-sama baik disini. Bagian reffnya juga dibawakan dengan cukup bagus. Meskipun pertama kali mendengar track ini begitu asing di telinga para pendengar Keane sejati, tetapi lagu ini juga cukup membuat kuping saya addicted untuk mendengar lagi dan lagi.Jangan lupa cicip rapping K'Naan yang ciamik punya. Temanya sendiri cukup bagus dengan lirik yang cukup menyentuh "Sometimes I feel like a little lost child/Sometimes I feel like the chosen one/Sometimes I wanna shout out ’til everything goes quiet/Sometimes I wonder why I was ever born". Lagu ini mempunyai makna bahwa berhentilah sejenak dan renungkanlah kejadian yang dahulu kita perbuat agar kehidupan kita ke depannya lebih baik.

Overall, lagu baru dari mereka ini cukup menghibur walau untuk pendengar Keane pasca piano-rock sound mereka akan mengernyitkan dahi untuk mendengar lagu ini pertama kali.

lyrics

Oh oooh whoaa oooh

WHoaa ohhh oh-oh

Keane

Some days, feels my soul has left my body

Feel I’m floating high above me

Like I’m looking down upon me

(oooh oooh)

Start sinking, everytime I get to thinking

It’s easier to keep on moving

Never stop to let the truth in

(oooh oooh)

K'naan

Sometimes I feel like it’s all been done

Sometimes I feel like I’m the only one

Sometimes I wanna change everything I’ve ever done

Too tired to fight and yet too scared to run

Chorus : Keane

And if I stop for a minute

I think about things I really don’t wanna know

And I’m the first to admit it

Without you I’m a liner stranded in an ice floe

yeah!

K'naan

I feel like I’m a thief who has no faith

Maybe more than by the grade

Of the drugs you took that day

Sinking in the pain he’s been inflicting

Yet he’s feeling like the victim

Just a horoscope’s to blame

Keane

Sometimes I feel like a little lost child

Sometimes I feel like the chosen one

Sometimes I wanna shout out ’til everything goes quiet

Sometimes I wonder why I was ever born

Chorus : Keane

And if I stop for a minute

I think about things really I don’t wanna know

And I’m the first to admit it

Without you I’m child and so wherever you go

I will follow

K'naan

And baby you are just beautiful from crown to your cuticles

You held down my two sons

you never frown when duty calls

You know me,

I gave you more than you can handle

But you still keep a handle on it

even when I take something beautiful and vandal on it

No more females?

Well how come my emails got notes on a scandal

It’s like Eve with the apple,

A priest in the chapel

Overcome by the devil’s tackle

I’m still shackling the bad til I know

Keane

And if I stop for a minute

I think about things I really don’t wanna know

K'naan

So I guess I’m just a fiend

Consumed by the scene

Keane

And I’m the first to admit it

Without you I’m a liner stranded in an ice floe

K'naan

The stage and the screens

Where it’s just me and Keane

oooh oooh
