There's One Thing You Should Know*

I wanna be, I wanna be with you 
In the middle of the rain when the thunders come and strain 
I will never ever steal your coat 
I’ll be by your side to challenge the cold

I’d like to be, I’d like to be with you 
In the middle of the war, I’ll be wearing what you wore 
I will never ever let you stand in the front and get shoot

If I were with you, I’ll hug you through a rainy day 
If I were with you, we’ll watch oldies movies until it’s late 
If I were with you, I’ll never ever make you sad

Don’t need to be your lover 
I just wanna be with you

I don’t need more, anything from you..



*N.B.:  I do not own the words.
It is the magical lyrics from an indie band named Afternoon Talk





Afternoon Talk

She was sitting on the porch and bit her crackers.
With a sip she took from the cup of coffee, her minds wondering and only God knows where.
"Are we supposed to feel hope?"
There was no answer, not yet.
She kept asking the same thing until the evening came.

Edward Christopher Sheeran

I love Edward Christopher Sheeran, or simply Ed Sheeran. He is a young and talented musician from England. He is a ginger genius. Yes,I'm not gonna lie because he has this adorable and unique red hair and he  also is a genius in making songs. He really is!


This is Ed


First time I heard his song is when MTV aired his first music video from his album "+", goes with the title The A Team. I was in my room when suddenly the melody caught my attention, made me ran to the living room just to find out who sang the song. Guess what? I'm thrilled. It was like a unique song and unusual music video combined as one.
The A Team  is a song that tells a story about a homeless girl who also a drug addict. She tried to sell newspaper and also be a prostitute just so she could buy drugs for herself. I like the way Ed  uses the word "angel"  that actually refer to the girl as the main character in this video. He was like giving a new meaning to the word "angel" itself.
In a video interview with Billboard, Ed explained the song's title. "A drug like crack cocaine is called a 'class A' drug. That's in the same category as heroin. Instead of making it clear and just saying what the problem was, I'd say, 'She's in the 'class A' team.' It was kind of my way of covering up (a person's addiction), I guess, making it a bit more subtle."
See? Instead of trying to come up with clear explanation of his song, Ed tries to cover it up and make it more subtle. I mean... he was like to hide the meaning of The A Team itself and somehow it is attractive.
...and I feel like I fell for the first sight <3 br="" nbsp="">

His second video is You Need Me, I Don't Need You. I'm not gonna lie that I don't really know well enough about this song but, what makes this video interesting is the way it wrapped with sign language. Yes, right! This song is a rap song which is I really am having a hard time to follow Ed rapping in this song. Though, I still love him :)
This video features Matthew Morgan who gives the sign towards this songs. FYI, both Morgan's parents are deaf but he is not. So this video is like a dedication for deaf people so that they also could enjoy Ed's music too. He is so generous, isn't he?

You Need Me, I Don't Need You (music video)


Lego House becoming his third single. This is a kind of video where I react like a fangirl. Haha ~
Well, because it features Rupert Grint. Gosh! He is like my favorite actor in Harry Potter the movie. How can I not like him. He seems funny and well, redhead always attracting :D
In this video, Grint is a very maniac fan of Ed, he is more like obsessed with Ed. Grint is more like a creepy fans and really REALLY annoying but his acting is really REALLY stunning. He is so perfect in this video.
I mean... I am a girl who is kind of obsessed with a redhead then this video shows 2 adorable redhead and... what do you think I am supposed to do? Sit quietly and enjoy the video while actually I could  go fangirling over these 2 redheads?

I'm not a big fan of cat, but this video could be an exception :)
It's  Drunk, ladies and gentlemen! The fourth video from  Ed and it's adorable, funny, and cute. Period.

Drunk (music video)


...and we get to his most emotional song and video, well at least for me.
This song named Small Bump. At first, I thought this song is like any love song that tells a story about a bump in every relationship. So, I never really paying attention to the lyric just the refrain keeps playing on my head. Until, I decided to figure out what this song is really about. Then, I found out a dramatic truth.
This song is about miscarriage. Yeah, small bump is the mother's belly and she got miscarriage in the fourth month. 
One of the line of the lyrics that almost made me burst into tears is the last part.

'Cause you were just a small bump unborn for four months then torn from life.
Maybe you were needed up there but we're still unaware as why.

It's sad, this song is really get me. Well, it might be another story to tell in this blog when I'm ready :')
Otherwise, Mr. Ed makes me adore him more. He stole my heart, and he brings it with him. Ha ha ha

The last video (so far) from his "+" album is Give Me Love.
It's another masterpiece from him. The opening of this song is really sophisticated, at least for me haha. It sounds like we have to be ready and to prepare ourselves because this ginger head is going to take us to the far far away land.
The video, it is epic. Just 1 word, epic. I like the way it delivers the meaning. I'm not going to be critical in this video because it such a brave and magnificent video to represent "cupid" who is also trying to find love in her own life. Until finally, she found her love when she died.
Once again, I lost my words and this video just makes me speechless. I think you have to watch by yourself and I will let you define you own opinion.

Give Me Love (music video)


I wonder what Ed would say towards these 6 videos. Maybe, it could be like this
Ed: I know! I'll do a music video for a drug addict prostitute because they're people too and deserve recognition!

Ed: I know! I'll use another ginger haired man who looks like me because I'm hilarious!

Ed: I know! I'll do a music video of me sitting in a hospital and it will be the most emotional thing you'll ever see!

Ed: I know! I'll do a music video in sign language so deaf people can enjoy music too!

Ed: I know! I'll do a music video with a talking cat because I'm f*cking original!

Ed: I know! I'll do a music video where it has same sex, different sex, and interracial love so it covers everyone.

Is that all?
Nope.
There is also a Lego version of Lego House music video and it really a must watch. It's cute and funny and flawless :)

I love Ed Sheeran. Not just from his recent album but I also downloaded all his previous songs and it's all stunning. Like Little Bird, Miss You, Kiss Me, Cold Coffee and many more. I also like the song from his "+" album, Autumn Leaves. It is like a funeral song but it wants to show that we have to let go of something that we have, someday, because we will gonna lose everything in this world.
Actually, his songs are really inspires me. Ed is like trying to see any kind of things that happened in his lives from different persepectives. Sometimes, you have to be a sofa, a leave, a bird, a cat or even a coffee to know that everything has own meaning, and why you should be here, not there.

I'm sorry.
I'm mumbling. Maybe it's because I start to live in my own mind and I try to relive it. So maybe this is it, this is where it ends.
I'm so emotional right now.
I'm sorry...
Ooh how I miss you
My symphony played the song that carried you out
Ooh how I miss you
And I, I miss you and I wish you'd stay

Do you ever wonder if the stars shine out for you?
Float down
Like autumn leaves
Hush now
Close your eyes before the sleep
And you're miles away
And yesterday you were here with me


...and goodnight.

Kisah Cinta (Terlalu) Pagi

"But I know God made another one of me to love you better than I ever will." - Ed Sheeran

Hei, ini bukan kisah cinta.
Ini kisah tentang cinta.
Abaikan saja judul di atas, dan mulailah mendengar ceritaku.
Kali ini aku akan bercerita sebuah kisah, tentang cinta yang terlalu pagi.
Kira-kira seperti ini ceritanya...

Seseorang itu bernama pagi dan Ia jatuh cinta pada malam.
Aneh? Iya, aneh.
Mereka terlalu berbeda.
Tapi, bukan berarti pagi tidak boleh memimpikan malam kan?
Hanya saja jarak mereka terlalu jauh.
Siang dan senja seakan membentangkan tembok yang tinggi dan besar.

Pagi sedih? Mungkin...
Tapi, Ia masih mempunyai sejuta embun untuk dibangunkan waktu ufuk terbit
Belum lagi induk burung pipit yang beterbangan mencari makan untuk anak-anaknya.
Setidaknya pagi tidak merasa terlalu sepi.
Entah bagaimana dengan malam, entah siapa yang menemani malam waktu ufuk terbenam.
Entah siapa yang beterbangan waktu malam datang.

Tidak banyak yang diketahui pagi tentang malam.
Malam itu gelap. Itu saja. Tidak lebih, tidak kurang.
Tapi hal itu tidak membuatnya berhenti untuk mengagumi malam dan keperkasaannya di saat sebagian belahan bumi menggelap.
Kadang, pagi berharap menjadi senja.
Dengan semburat oranye, biru dan ungu, senja nampak cantik.
Belum lagi waktunya yang bersandingan dengan malam.
Mereka berdua tampak serasi.
Tidak seperti pagi, yang kadang kedatangannya dicerca manusia.
Kata mereka, pagi datang terlalu cepat.
Seandainya saja mereka tahu, tidak ada yang terlalu cepat atau pun terlalu lambat. Semuanya sudah tepat pada waktunya.

Namun entah untuk kali ini.
Tentang perasaan pagi kepada malam.
Rasa-rasanya terlalu pagi untuk pergi, namun juga terlalu siang untuk datang.
Rasa ini manis, seperti itu kemanisan pagi.
Layaknya pagi yang tahu diri, yang rela cintanya tak terbalas oleh malam.

Halo, Kamu yang Aku Tunggu

Bagaimana jika aku menunggunya di depan pintu?
Menunggu pintuku diketuk?
Atau, kubiarkan terbuka saja biar nanti dia langsung masuk?
Namun tidak segampang itu.
Sampai detik ini, yang ditunggu tidak juga muncul.
Aku sudah mulai mengantuk.
Mungkin bukan hari ini kami ditakdirkan bertemu.

Hi, Heart

Sorry, heart.
Next time, I'll go check on you.
Whether the feeling is real or not.

At the meantime, will you do me a favor?
Be strong.
and, don't afraid to let the butterflies fly.

Got me?

I'll visit you if you finally ready to fall.
Just... don't fall too hard.

April 8, 2013

I'm sorry, Sunny

"This isn't goodbye, boy, is it? This is farewell."

Sorry...
If my feeling bothers you.
Sorry...
If I'm not the one you expect to fall for you.
Sorry...
If my words disgusted you.
Sorry...
If I put you into my prayer every nights.
Sorry...
If I always be a fool whenever I see you.
Sorry...
If my attitude looks awkward in front of you.
Sorry...
If the sound of your giggle becoming my favorite.

I'm sorry, Sunny.
I really am...
I really do.

She and Him

"I don't believe if anybody feels the way I do about you now." - Oasis

That afternoon, from the corner of the coffee shop, she watched him walked towards her.
She never knew that he would come.
But then, she's so glad he came :)

He was not alone.
She was not alone.
So, that day would not be considered as a date.
But still, she's so glad he came.

He pulled a chair and placed it next to her.
Her heart beats, not too fast.
She was trying to hide its sound so that he would not listen to the sound of her heartbeat.
Because it was loud, and it was louder than sirens.
And she also hide her palms because it sweats.
He has this; this kind of heat that always makes her nervous,
but that's what makes him attracting.

They talked
and then they laughed.
Even before a word blurred out from theirs.
That's nice, the fact that he laughed in front of her is nice.
She doesn't know why he laugh.
She wondered if she had a stupid face that can make him laugh.
Though, she could not make him stop because he did not want to.
Instead, he made her laugh with him.
It's adorable, his smile looked adorable and the sound of his laugh?
She never got tired of hearing it.

He and she always have this problem.
They could not look into each other's eyes for too long,
because they are just going to laugh and laugh again until their stomach got cramp.
She like the way he makes her laugh, but does he?

They leaned their backs to the back.
She bit her nails as usual when she got nervous as she thought that it would calm her down.
Then she shake her left leg without her being realized about it.
Until...
she watched what he did with his left leg.
Then she stopped,
and he stopped.
She smiled inside.
Was that the universe or another coincidence happen between them?

She would never forget that day
The day he makes her feel,
the day he makes her blushed,
the day she finally realized that the feeling is still there,
the day her butterflies were trying to tell her that it's okay to like someone.

She like him. (a lot)
but she doesn't want him to know, not right now.
Maybe later...
when he finishes read this story about him that written by a she.

?

Sunny, dimana kamu?
Kupu-kupu dalam perutku mau mati
kalau kamu pergi
Tolong, tinggal.
