Single of the Day: Carrie Underwood - Something in the Water

Oleh: admincd - 18 Nov 2014

Released by: Sony Music Entertainment Indonesia

Dramanya, kolosalnya, kekuatan vokalnya, segala aspek yang luar biasa mengagumkan datang dari sosok Carrie Underwood untuk dunia. Memenangkan American Idol sekaligus memenangkan hati para penikmat musik di seluruh dunia telah ia lakukan selama kurang lebih sepuluh tahun, hingga tiba waktunya untuk merefleksikan kemenangan-kemenangan tersebut dalam sebuah kompilasi bertajuk "Greatest Hits-Decade #1". Dan 'Something in the Water' pun terpilih untuk merepresentasikan moment yang triumph bagi sang idola.

Bersama tim yang sudah akrab dengan Carrie, Chris DeStefano, Brett James, dan Mark Bright, idealisme sang Country Diva terpancar dalam sebuah faham keimanan. Tema lagu yang sebenarnya bukan asing bagi Carrie. Kerap kali ia menyisipkan hal-hal berbau religi dalam single-single-nya: 'Jesus, Take the Wheel', 'Don't Forget to Remember Me', hingga 'Temporary Home'. Sangat tepat untuk meramu keserupaan sebagai perwakilan sebuah dekade yang besar.

Terpatri dalam arena ballad, keistimewaan country-nya lahir dari fiddle yang mulai diperdengarkan pasca verse pertama. Melodi yang standar berbaris rapi dalam gelombang ramah dengar membangun kokoh bangunan musik kolosal dalam drama perbaikan diri ini. Ditambah dengan kekuatan vokal Carrie yang luar biasa, barisan lirik yang berkesinambungan pun dieksekusi dengan sangat mantap. Infus 'Amazing Grace' sebagai bentuk rasa syukur memberi dimensi tambahan terhadap lagu, memperkuat kekhidmatan yang terjadi.

Bicara soal kualitas, inia dalah salah satu moment paling fine yang Carrie bisa ciptakan. Dan bicara soal kuantitas pun terjadi keseimbangan saat penerimaan terhadap lagu ini sangat baik, di arena country dan juga musik Kristiani. Triumphant it is.

LYRIC

He said, "I've been where you've been before.

Down every hallway's a slamming door.

No way out, no one to come and save me.

Wasting a life that the Good Lord gave me.

Then somebody said what I'm saying to you,

Opened my eyes and told me the truth."

They said, "Just a little faith, it'll all get better."

So I followed that preacher man down to the river and now I'm changed

And now I'm stronger

There must've been something in the water

Oh, there must've been something in the water

Well, I heard what he said and I went on my way

Didn't think about it for a couple of days

Then it hit me like a lightning late one night

I was all out of hope and all out of fight

Couldn't fight back the tears so I fell on my knees

Saying, "God, if you're there come and rescue me."

Felt love pouring down from above

Got washed in the water, washed in the blood and now I'm changed

And now I'm stronger

There must be something in the water

Oh, there must be something in the water

And now I'm singing along to amazing grace

Can't nobody wipe this smile off my face

Got joy in my heart, angels on my side

Thank God almighty, I saw the light

Gonna look ahead, no turning back

Live every day, give it all that I have

Trust in someone bigger than me

Ever since the day that I believed I am changed

And now I'm stronger

There must be something in the water (amazing grace)

Oh, there must be something in the water (how sweet the sound)

Oh, there must be something in the water (that saved a wretch)

Oh, there must be something in the water (like me)

Oh, yeah

I am changed (I once was lost)

Stronger (but now I'm found)

(was blind but now I see)
