Single of The Day: Gym Class Heroes feat. Ryan Tedder - The Fighter

Oleh: admincd - 22 Jun 2012

Released by: Warner Music Indonesia

The Fighter adalah single ketiga dari Gym Class Heroes dari album The Peppercut Chronicles II yang dirilis pada 31 May lalu.  Lagu ini juga sempat dipakai sebagai tema “90210 Season 4”. Dan single ini sendiri lumayan cukup bagus menorehkan posisinya di beberapa tangga lagu seperti Australia, Canada, New Zealand hingga Billboard 100 serta dibeberapa chart radio-radio di Indonesia.

Dibuka dengan dentingan piano khas ala Ryan Tedder dari One Republic disambung dengan beat rap dari Travie Mccoy melalui  lirik “Just waking up in the morning / And to be well /Quite honest with ya / I ain't really sleep well” di awal lagu ini sudah mulai membuat kita untuk terhanyut  lebih dalam untuk menikmati hingga akhir dengan lirik-lirik persuasif nya.

Bagian yang paling saya suka dari lagu ini ada dibagian Chorus yang dinyanyikan langsung oleh sang produser yang tidak lain adalah “Ryan Tedder”  dengan hook lirik  “Give em hell, turn their heads Gonna live life til we're dead. Give me scars, give me pain Then they'll say of me, say of me, say of me There goes the fighter, there goes the fighter”  menceritakan kisah seorang petarung/pejuang untuk tidak pernah mengenal kata menyerah di situasi apapun. Dan hal itu dideskripsikan melalui Musik Videonya yang menampilkan “John Orozco” seorang pesenam dari New York, yang didokumentasikan  perjalanan luar biasanya hingga ke Olimpiade. Lagu ini sendiri mempunyai sumbangsih untuk mensupport Tim US di Olimpiade Inggris tahun ini.

Overall jika kamu mendengarkan lagu ini dan menghayati liriknya, bayangkan dirimu diposisikan bukan sebagai penonton melainkan “atlit” yang berjuang di dalam sebuah pertandingan untuk memperoleh sebuah kemenangan, tentunya hal itu tidak akan mudah diraih begitu saja. Dengan berbagai rintangan yang sulit yang siap menghadang kapan saja ”and within this song to keep remind us for don’t give up on every damn situation” Hal itulah yang ingin disampaikan oleh lagu “The Fighter” ini. “Last but not Least” Kita tunggu saja kehadiran  Travie McCoy dan kawan-kawan di Jakarta 11 Agustus 2012 membawakan single “The Fighter” di konser mereka nanti.

LYRIC

Yeah, just waking up in the morning in the B well

Quite honest with ya I ain't really sleep well

You ever feel like your train of thoughts been derailed

That's when you press on, Lee Nails

Half the population just waiting to see me fail

Yeah, right, you better off trying to freeze hell

Ha, some of us do afford the females

And others do afford the retails

But I do it for the kids life through the Tower Inn

Or every time we fall it's only making your chin strong

And I'll be in yer corner like Mick, baby

'Til the end or when you hear the song from that big lady

Until the referee rings the bell

Until both your eyes start to swell

Until the crowd goes home

What we gonna do ya'll?

Give 'em hell, turn their heads

Gonna live life 'til we're dead

Give me scars, give me pain

Then they'll say to me, say to me, say to me

There goes a fighter, there goes a fighter

Here comes a fighter

That's what they'll say to me, say to me, say to me

This one's a fighter

And if I can last 30 rounds

There's no reason you should ever have your head down

6 foot 5, 220 pounds

Hailing from rock bottom, loserville, nothing town

The textbook version of a kid going nowhere fast

And now I'm yelling kiss my ass

It's gonna take a couple right hooks, a few left jabs

For you to recognize you really ain't got it bad

Until the referee rings the bell

Until both your eyes start to swell

Until the crowd goes home

What we gonna do ya'll?

Give 'em hell, turn their heads

Gonna live life 'til we're dead

Give me scars, give me pain

Then they'll say to me, say to me, say to me

There goes a fighter, there goes a fighter

Here comes a fighter

That's what they'll say to me, say to me, say to me

This one's a fighter

What we gonna do, what we gonna do?

What we gonna do, what we gonna do ya'll?

What we gonna do, what we gonna do?

What we gonna do ya'll?

If you fall pick yourself up off the floor

And when your bones can't take no more

Just remember what you're here for

'Cause I know I'ma damn sure

Give 'em hell, turn their heads

Gonna live life 'til we're dead

Give me scars, give me pain

Then they'll say to me, say to me, say to me

There goes a fighter, there goes a fighter

Here comes a fighter

That's what they'll say to me, say to me, say to me

This one's a fighter

Until the referee rings the bell

Until both your eyes start to swell

Until the crowd goes home

What we gonna do, kid?
