Single of the Day: Carrie Underwood - Church Bells

Oleh: admincd - 30 May 2016

Ini yang diingankan para penggemar, Carrie Underwood merilis 'Church Bells' sebagai single dari album studio terbarunya, "Storyteller". Lagu ini lebih berasa "Carrie"-nya, karena beberapa kualitas yang terdapat di dalamnya antara lain musik upbeat country rock yang membuncah dan lirik yang menengadahkan kisah pelik mengenai relationship yang berakhir pada misteri kematian. Kedua kualitas itu didampingi oleh hook nan cacthy berupa pengulangan terhadap kata terakhir di baris-baris bagian chorus-nya. Ringing, ringing. Singing, singing.

Tambahan lagi, 'Smoke Break' dan 'Heartbeat' berada di bawah 'Church Bells' dalam memberikan dampak histeria kepada pendengar. Pun, lirik yang menarasikan mengenai pra hingga pasca sebuah hubungan dengan konflik kekerasan di tengahnya adalah ceritera yang kerap difavoritkan oleh penggemar. Alkisah, Jenny yang cantik namun secara finansial sangat tidak beruntung, dipersunting oleh pria kaya yang kerap melakukan tindak kekerasan fisik kepada. Singkat cerita, Jenny menyudahi KDRT yang terjadi dengan menghabisi nyawa sang suami. Semua itu tertera jelas, eksplisit tertulis oleh para penggagas lagu; Zach Crowell, Brett James, dan Hillary Lindsey.

Bagian yang paling menarik dari 'Church Bells' adalah video musiknya yang memperlihatkan gambaran bagaimana "Storyteller Tour: Stories in the Round" terjadi. Tentu, hiburan visual ini tidak menjadi pesan yang representatif terhadap lagu. Namun, lebih dari itu. Carrie memberi kesempatan kepada para fans-nya di seluruh dunia, terlebih yang belum sempat menyaksikan penampilan live, untuk ikut merasakan gegap gempita konser idola mereka. The arena, the crowd, the lights, the hydrolic system, the band, the stage, the wardrobe, and of course, the idol herself. It's so much fun!

LYRIC

Jenny grew up wild, like a blackfoot daisy

Out in the shack with a blue tick hound

Broke as hell, but blessed with beauty

The kind that a rich man can't turn down

She caught the eye of an oil man dancing

One summer night in a dime store dress

She had the looks, he had the mansion

And you can figure out the rest

It was all roses, dripping in diamonds

Sipping on champagne

She was all uptown, wearing that white gown

Taking his last name

She could hear those church bells ringing, ringing

And up in the loft, that whole choir singing, singing

Fold your hands and close your eyes

Yeah, it's all gonna be alright

And just listen to the church bells ringing, ringing

Yeah, they're ringing

Jenny was hosting Junior League parties

And having dinner at the country club

Everyone thought they were Ken and Barbie

But Ken was always getting way too drunk

Saturday night, after a few too many

He came home ready to fight

And all his money could never save Jenny

From the devil living in his eyes

It was all bruises, covered in makeup

Dark sunglasses

And that next morning, sitting in the back pew

Praying with the baptist

She could hear those church bells ringing, ringing

And up in the loft, that whole choir singing, singing

Fold your hands and close your eyes

Yeah, it's all gonna be alright

You just listen to the church bells ringing, ringing

Yeah, they're ringing

Jenny slipped something in his Tennessee whiskey

No law man was ever gonna find

And how he died is still a mystery

But he hit a woman for the very last time

She could hear those church bells ringing, ringing

Standing there in a black dress singing, singing

Fold your hands and close your eyes

Yeah, it's all gonna be alright

And just listen to the church bells ringing, ringing

Yeah, they're ringing
