Single of The Day: Bon Jovi - Because We Can

Oleh: admincd - 27 Mar 2013

Released by: Universal Music Indonesia

Ini satu dari sekian lagu yang enggak butuh intro. Layaknya nyablak, ia langsung muncul menantang dengan chorus yang dijadikan serangan fajarnya. 'Because We Can' adalah single andalan dari album studio ke-12 Bon Jovi, "What About Now". Untuk lagu pemanasan dari sebuah album baru, lagu ini cukup representatif tak hanya menjamu pendengar ke sound di album baru, tapi juga mewakili kebiasaan rock dalam diskografi band.

Bangunan 'Because We Can' lumayan antemik, tak kalah memorable dengan 'It's My Life' ataupun 'You Give Love A Bad Name', meskipun sebenarnya kalah menghentak dari dua track tersebut. Kekuatannya hadir dalam chorus yang memang terprogram dalam melodi yang enggak rumit, ditambah gaya bahasa Jon Bon Jovi yang komunikatif, mengajak pendengar untuk ikutan berdendang bersama dirinya.

Ada benarnya banyak ulasan yang menulis single ini mainstream. Mungkin kesan itu hadir dari keramahan olahan musik rock yang tersaji. Kurang garang. But when one door closes another will open. Meski ia tak menyanggupi persyaratan rock-ability, ia bisa menyusup ke radio dan televisi dengan potensi ramah dengar yang ia punya.

Jangan pernah mau jadi biasa kalau bisa jadi yang luar biasa. 'Because We Can' bilang kalau kita mampu, kenapa enggak. That's another that will probably open, semangat yang bisa menular ke para pendengarnya. So why is it you should listen to this single again? It's simply because you can.

TRACKLIST

I don't wanna be another wave in the ocean

I am a rock not just another grain of sand

I wanna be the one you run to when you need a shoulder

I ain't a soldier but I'm here to take a stand

Because we can

She's in the kitchen staring out the window

So tired of living life in black and white

Right now she's missing those technicolor kisses

When he turns down the lights

Lately he's feeling like a broken promise

In the mirror staring down his doubt

There's only one thing in this world that he knows

He said forever and he'll never let her down

I don't wanna be another wave in the ocean

I am a rock not just another grain of sand

I wanna be the one you run to when you need a shoulder

I ain't a soldier but I'm here to take a stand

Because we can

TV and takeout on the coffee table

Paper dishes, pour a glass of wine

Turn down the sound and move a little closer

And for the moment everything is alright

I don't wanna be another wave in the ocean

I am a rock not just another grain of sand

I wanna be the one you run to when you need a shoulder

I ain't a soldier but I'm here to take a stand

Because we can, our love can move a mountain

We can, if you believe in we

We can, just wrap your arms around me

We can, we can

I don't wanna be another wave in the ocean

I am a rock not just another grain of sand

I wanna be the one you run to when you need a shoulder

I ain't a soldier but I'm here to take a stand

I don't wanna be another wave in the ocean

I am a rock not just another grain of sand

I wanna be the one you run to when you need a shoulder

I ain't a soldier but I'm here to take a stand

Because we can, our love can move a mountain

We can, if you believe in we

We can, just wrap your arms around me

We can, we can

Because we can
