First of all, selamat Hari Kartini! Buat para wanita yang sekolah/kuliah/kerja, semangat ye. Jangan sia-siakan perjuangan Ibu Kartini.

Anyway, tadi di jalan pulang pas hujan-hujan ada yang request sebuah lagu ke suatu stasiun radio. How To Save A Life-nya The Fray sangat berjaya di jamannya dulu, sekitar tahun 2006 kalau ga salah. Saya sendiri dulu sangaaaat menggemari lagu ini. Dulu sering ngeliat trailernya Grey's Anatomy yang diiringi lagu ini. Jadi tiap kali denger selalu inget Izzie pake baju prom-nya yang oke punya itu deh.

Saya sudah ga mengikuti serial Grey's Anatomy lagi. Lebih tepatnya, saya ga mengikuti serial apapun lagi sih. Grey's Anatomy dulu serial favorit saya, nonton dari season 1 sampe pertengahan season 6. Setelah itu udah males, ceritanya makin dipanjang-panjangin. Bahkan sebenarnya dari season 5 juga udah males, karena setia aja tetep nonton.

Ah, kenapa jadi ngomongin Grey's Anatomy? Saya kan tadinya mau ngomongin How To Save A Life. Yap, most of the time saya lupa lagu ini pernah ada dan saya gemari, tapi kalau kebetulan diputar di radio, ya pasti ikutan nyanyi sepenuh hati, hehe. Kalau yang saya tangkep sih, ceritanya tentang seseorang yang sedang berusaha menyadarkan temannya yang tersesat (drugs sepertinya) untuk kembali ke jalan yang benar. Sangat bagus deh liriknya.

Step one you say we need to talk
He walks you say sit down it's just a talk
He smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through
Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
And you begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

Let him know that you know best
Cause after all you do know best
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you've told him all along
And pray to God, he hears you
And pray to God, he hears you

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you've followed
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he'll say he's just not the same
And you begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

How to save a life
