Single of The Day: Evanescence - What You Want

Oleh: admincd - 15 Sep 2011

Release by: Warner Music Indonesia

Drum menghentak keras, vokal Amy Lee kemudian masuk mengikuti alur tempo. Intro yang mudah dihafal membawa pendengar mengingat kembali suara khas sang vokalis setelah Evanescence vakum selama kurang lebih 5 tahun. Tanpa meninggalkan kesan darknya, single What You Want dikemas dengan balutan rock yg lebih keras daripada lagu-lagu di 2 album sebelumnya. Pada interview dengan Evanescence Era, Amy Lee mengungkapkan, What You Want adalah tentang kebebasan, bagaimana di kehidupan yang singkat ini kita bisa melakukan dan memperjuangkan apa yang kita inginkan dan kita sukai.

Lirik dan musik yang membangun, simfoni orkestra, iringan piano klasik yang selalu menjadi inspirasi bermusik mereka, serta sedikit unsur synithizer, masih tetap melekat pada single ini. Mungkin saat pertama kali mendengar single ini, terasa berbeda dan agak asing. But it’s still Evanescence.

Penggarapan video klipnya sendiri telah dilakukan sebulan lalu di Brooklyn, New York. Dengan disutradarai Meiert Avis, videonya disetting memperlihatkan Evanescence secara personal. Banyak fans sengaja diundang dalam syuting video klip tersebut. Mereka ditampilkan sedang melihat perform band idola mereka di sebuah club. Bisa dibilang, gambaran fanatisme di video klip What You Want akan terkesan lebih nyata dibandingkan pada video klip Going Under dulu.

Single ini memang layak menjadi pilihan pertama yang dirilis, sebagai energi penghibur fans yang menunggu album baru “self-titled” Evanescence yang dirilis 11 Oktober nanti. Antusiasme fans terlihat jelas saat Evanescence membawakan single ini secara live untuk pertama kalinya, di Nashville pada acara MTV First.

Meski Evanescence tergolong band yang lumayan lama di blantika musik, semoga single terbaru mereka bisa menyegarkan chart musik rock dunia. “These are What You Want, what Evanescence want, what people and fans want…..

LYRIC:

Do what you what you want, if you have a dream for better

Do what you what you want till you don't want it anymore

(remember who you really are)

Do what you what you want, your world's closing in on you now

(it isn't over)

Stand and face the unknown

(got to remember who you really are)

Every heart in my hands like a pale reflection

Hello, hello remember me?

I'm everything you can't control

Somewhere beyond the pain there must be a way to believe we can break through

Do what you what you want, you don't have to lay your life down

(it isn't over)

Do what you what you want till you find what you're looking for

(got to remember who you really are)

But every hour slipping by screams that I have failed you

Hello, hello remember me?

I'm everything you can't control

Somewhere beyond the pain there must be a way to believe

Hello, hello remember me?

I'm everything you can't control

Somewhere beyond the pain there must be a way to believe

There's still time

close your eyes

only love will guide you home

Tear down the walls and free your soul

Till we crash we're forever spiraling down, down, down, down

Hello, hello, its only me

infecting everything you love

Somewhere beyond the pain there must be a way to believe

Hello, hello remember me?

I'm everything you can't control

Somewhere beyond the pain there must be a way to learn forgiveness

Hello, hello remember me?

I'm everything you can't control

Somewhere beyond the pain there must be a way to believe we can break through
