Bagi yang sudah menyaksikan film “Furious 7? pasti tahu kalau lagu 'See You Again' hadir di saat yang pas sebagai momen mengenang Paul Walker yang kini telah tiada. Saat Brian O'Conner (Walker) dan Dominic Toretto (Diesel) mengendarai mobil masing-masing dan akhirnya berpisah karena mengambil jalan yang berbeda, lagu ini menjadi pengiring adegan yang cukup menguras emosi tersebut.
'See You Again' memang terasa sangat tepat sebagai pengantar adegan yang paling berkesan dalam film tersebut, karena jelas terdengar dikerjakan dengan pakai hati alih-alih mengejar ke-catchy-an semata. Padahal lagunya memang catchy. Mengandung balada yang mengalun manis dan menggugah, sementara saat beat berderap mengambil alih, Wiz Khalifa pun melakukan tugasnya dengan memberi kelembutan pada rappingnya.
Tapi, meski Wiz Khalifa adalah nama utama dari pembawa lagu ini, tapi Charlie Puth lah yang sukses mengarahkan sisi emosi lagu yang memadukan antara hip hop dan electro-ballada ini. Puth bernyanyi dengan penuh perasaan meski sebenarnya ia hanya kebagian untuk chorus dan bridge. Tapi karena bagian dirinya cukup kerap direpetisi, (termasuk menjadi pembuka dan penutup lagu) akhirnya malah terdengar lebih mendominasi ketimbang Khalifa yang sebenarnya memiliki porsi yang jauh lebih besar.
Meski demikian, baik Khalifa dan Puth bekerjasama dengan cukup baik. Mereka memainkan peran masing-masing dengan pas. Jadi tidak mengherankan jika 'See You Again' menjadi lagu yang sangat mengesankan bagi siapa saja yang mendengarkannya.
LYRIC
It's been a long day without you my friend
And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
We've come a long way from where we began
Oh I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
When I see you again
Damn who knew all the planes we flew
Good things we've been through
That I'll be standing right here
Talking to you about another path I
Know we loved to hit the road and laugh
But something told me that it wouldn't last
Had to switch up look at things different see the bigger picture
Those were the days hard work forever pays now I see you in a better place
How could we not talk about family when family's all that we got?
Everything I went through you were standing there by my side
And now you gonna be with me for the last ride
It's been a long day without you my friend
And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
We've come a long way from where we began
Oh I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
when I see you again
First you both go out your way
And the vibe is feeling strong and what's
Small turn to a friendship, a friendship
Turn into a bond and that bond will never
Be broken and the love will never get lost
And when brotherhood come first then the line
Will never be crossed established it on our own
When that line had to be drawn and that line is what
We reach so remember me when I'm gone
How could we not talk about family when family's all that we got?
Everything I went through you were standing there by my side
And now you gonna be with me for the last ride
So let the light guide your way hold every memory
As you go and every road you take will always lead you home
It's been a long day without you my friend
And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
We've come a long way from where we began
Oh I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
When I see you again
