Single of The Day: Robbie Williams - Candy

Oleh: admincd - 27 Nov 2012

Released by: Universal Music Indonesia

Robbie Williams secara harfiah mengambil takhtanya. "Take The Crown" sebagai album studio kesembilannya mengungguli apa yang telah dicapai oleh kumpulannya, Take That. Dan 'Candy' sebagai single andalan dari album terebut, berhasil merebut perhatian khalayak dan menempatkannya di puncak UK Singles Chart.

Ia sepertinya tahu saja bagaimana untuk menciptakan suasana yang menghibur. Banyak moment yang menceriakan dalam musik 'Candy'. Sedari awal muncul dalam tempo yang cepat, menderap maju dan menaikkan levelnya ke titik puncak di bagian chorus. Menggelitik juga bagaimana sarkasme lirik tercipta sebagai pondasi lagu. Ya bukan hanya cewek yang jago mengeluarkan sindiran. Lihat bagaimana cowok, ehem, Robbie maksudnya menceritakan si gadis yang merasa ia superlatif. Humor.

Mestinya mereka meletakkan label Parental Guidance setiap kali video musik untuk 'Candy' hendak tayang. Ia mengandung banyak unsur kekerasan jalanan, beragam kecelakaan lalu lintas, berulang kali kaca pecah, hingga api yang membakar sosok Robbie yang tengah menjadi malaikat pelindung si gadis. Hal-hal yang membuat decak kagum pada efek viusalnya, namun belum dapat dikonsumsi nalar anak-anak.

Meskipun demikian, tetap saja ke-catchy-an single ini tidak dapat diperdebatkan. Selain irama yang luar biasa menyenangkan, ia juga punya rima lirik yang cerdas. Membuat asyik untuk kita ikut bernyanyi bersamanya. Buat cewek-cewek, hati-hati kalau ada lelaki yang menyebut kalian 'Candy'. Ia mungkin sedang merujuk ke lagu ini ketika berkata demikian. :P

LYRIC

I was there to witness

Candice’s inner business

She wants the boys to notice

Her rainbows, and her ponies

She was educated

But could not count to ten

How she got lots of different horses

By lots of different men

And I say

Liberate your sons and daughters

The bush is high

But in the hole there’s water

You can get some, when they give it

Nothing sacred, but it's a living

Hey ho here she goes

Either a little too high or a little too low

Got no self-esteem and vertigo

Cause she thinks she’s made of candy

Hey ho here she goes

Either a little too loud or a little too close

Got a hurricane in the back of her throat

And she thinks she’s made of candy

Ring a ring of roses

Whoever gets the closest

She comes and she goes

As the war of the roses

Mother was a victim

Father beat the system

By moving bricks to Brixton

And learning how to fix them

Liberate your sons and daughters

The bush is high

But in the hole there’s water

As you win

She'll be the whole of her love,

And if it don’t feel good

What are you doing it for

Now tell me

Hey ho here she goes

Either a little too high or a little too low

Got no self-esteem and vertigo

Cause she thinks she’s made of candy

Hey ho here she goes

Either a little too loud or a little too close

Got a hurricane in the back of her throat

And she thinks she’s made of candy

Liberate your sons and daughters

The bush is high

But in the hole there’s water

As you win

She'll be the whole of her love

And if you don’t feel good

What are you doing it for

What are you doing it for

What are you doing it for

What are you doing it for

What are you doing it for

What are you doing it for

What are you doing it for

What are you doing it for

What are you doing it for

Hey ho here she goes

Either a little too high or a little too low

Got no self-esteem and vertigo

Cause she thinks she’s made of candy

Hey ho here she goes

Either a little too loud or a little too close

Got a hurricane in the back of her throat

And she thinks she’s made of candy

Hey ho here she goes

Either a little too high or a little too low

Got no self-esteem and vertigo

Cause she thinks she’s made of candy

Hey ho here she goes

Either a little too loud or a little too close

Got a hurricane in the back of her throat

And she thinks she’s made of candy
