Let's have a little flashback. It was BEL class. Miss Diane taught us about listening skills for a few classes. And so ada this one day, she brought her speaker and gave out a piece of paper for each person, written with lyrics of a song. But there were blanks. We didn't know what song it was. So macam biasa lah before we sing, we made guesses how it sounds like. Everyone bantai the melody. Rap la, alun2 la. Then Miss Diane played the song and we had to fill in the blanks. Bila dengar the lyrics, it was sad that I almost cried. Because I understood the lyrics. Imagine, that was before I knew the story behind it. So let me give you the same experience like what I had. Listen to this first.:)
Oh what the hell she says
I just can't win for losing
And she lays back down
Man there's so many times
I don't know what I'm doin'
Like I don't know now
By the light of the moon, she rubs her eyes
Says it's funny how the night can make you blind
I can just imagine
And I don't know what I'm supposed to do
But if she feels bad then I do too
So I let her be
And she says ooh I can't take no more
Her tears like diamonds on the floor
And her diamonds bring me down
Cause I can't help her now
She's down in it
She tried her best but now she can't win
It's hard to see them on the ground
Her diamonds falling down, way down
She sits down and stares into the distance
And it takes all night
And I know I could break her concentration
But it don't feel right
By the light of the moon, she rubs her eyes
Sits down on the bed and starts to cry
And there's something less about her
And I don't know what I'm supposed to do
So I sit down and I cry too
But don't let her see
And she says ooh, I can't take no more
Her tears like diamonds on the floor
And her diamonds bring me down
Cause I can't help her now
She's down in it
She tried her best but now she can't win
It's hard to see them on the ground
Her diamonds falling down
She shuts out the night
Tries to close her eyes
If she can find daylight
Then she'll be alright, she'll be alright
Just not tonight
And she says ooh, I can't take no more
Her tears like diamonds on the floor
And her diamonds bring me down
Cause I can't help her now
She's down in it
She tried her best but now she can't win
It's hard to see them on the ground
Her diamonds falling
Ooh, I can't take no more
Her tears like diamonds on the floor
But her diamonds bring me down
Cause I can't help her now
She's down in it
She tried her best but now she can't win
It's hard to see them on the ground
Her diamonds falling down
I can't take no more
Diamonds on the floor
No more, no more, no more
Diamonds falling down
I can't take no more
Diamonds on the floor
No more, no more, no more
Diamonds falling down
I can't take no more
Diamonds on the floor
(No more, no more)
Her diamonds falling, all her diamonds
Diamonds falling down
I can't take these diamonds falling down
Haaaaaaa... Okay! Best tak? Best tak??!! The title is "Her Diamonds". So what do you think about this song? What is it all about? So begini cerita dia like what Miss Diane told us. Rob Thomas wrote this song for his wife and mother. At that moment both of them were sick. I don't know sakit apa. So he's feeling useless, feeling guilty because he can't do anything. He could only watch. And cry. Macam dalam lyrics kan?
Conclusionnya, buat lah lagu untuk orang yang sakit. So not!! Silap2 orang tu mati terus. Hahah. Just be at your loved ones' side when they're sick or in bad times. Understand them. Don't give unnecessary pressure until they become even more down. Walaupun dia kata macam lantak pi lah, but it doesn't mean you have to leave them menanggung kesusahan sorang2. Just that, give them some space. If I was him, memang aku pun kesedihan. Siapa sanggup tengok orang yang kita sayang sakit or disakiti? It does hurt myself too. I just berdoa that all my loved ones will always be fine. Because I might be like Rob Thomas. Feeling useless and not able to help. Hanya doa sahaja yang mampu diberikan. Thank you for reading.:)
Assalamualaikum and goodnight, goodnight!:)
