Review : Mandy Moore - A Only Hope Ada dua versi, pertama dibawakan oleh sang aktrisnya sendiri, Mandy Moore dan yang kedua dinyanyikan oleh band Switchfoot. Tapi gue mau bahas yang Mandy Moore.

Diawali dengan nada khas dalam iringan piano yang manis, lima detik kemudian terdengar suara Mandy Moore yang ringan dan lembut. Suara Mandy Moore mampu memberi efek melankolis pada lagu dan liriknya, semelankolis semua elemen yang terdapat didalam lagunya---yang malah membuat lagu ini terasa hikmat, spesial dan megah. Terdengar sangat romantis, sederhana, polos, dan tentunya indah. Liriknya yang bercerita tentang pengharapan dan kekuatan kehidupan----tiap baitnya mampu merangkum keseluruhan cerita filmnya dan tergambar jelas dalam tiap instrumennya. Difilmnya sendiri, lagu ini cukup istimewa sebagai salah satu adegannya, andaikan saja Shane West bisa memperbaiki kecatatannya memainkan ekspresi takjub saat melihat Mandy cantik bernyanyi.


Puncak lagu ini ada pada bagian chorus saat Mandy memainkan nada rendah kembali ke nada tinggi,

     "Singing in all that I am,
      At the top of my lungs... I'm giving it back.."

Seperti membayangkan dia merentangkan tangan diatas panggung dan menyaksikan adegan keajaibannya yang mencapai klimaksnya. Beautifully amazing.
Overall, tentu saja bukan pilihan yang buruk mendengarkan sayup-sayup suara Mandy bermain dalam lautan piano yang imaginatif, penuh mimpi dan sederhana.




There's a song that's inside of my soul
It's the one that I've tried to write over and over again
I'm awake in the infinite cold
But You sing to me over and over and over again


So I lay my head back down
And I lift my hands
and pray to be only Yours
I pray to be only Yours
I know now you're my only hope


Sing to me the song of the stars
Of Your galaxy dancing and laughing
and laughing again
When it feels like my dreams are so far
Sing to me of the plans that You have for me over again


So I lay my head back down
And I lift my hands and pray
To be only yours
I pray to be only yours
I know now you're my only hope


I give You my destiny
I'm giving You all of me
I want Your symphony
Singing in all that I am
At the top of my lungs I'm giving it back


So I lay my head back down
And I lift my hands and pray
To be only yours
I pray to be only yours
I pray to be only yours
I know now you're my only hope

Pieces Of Me
I am Tania and this is my blog, it's mine. In this very little space from the World Wide Web, this could be the only place where in I can have my freedom to express myself, rant whenever I wanted to, post non-sense shit, type asdfghjkl until I get tired like an idiot. I mean, who the hell in the world, uhmm (except me) would do that effin thing? Of course no one. EXCEPT ME. Alright, you've got it. I really am, an idiot. okay? and you've got any problems with that? kiss my fist. Actually I'm still 14 and I don't act like what normal teen girls do. I'm weird and I like crazy things. I like the smell of an old book, I yawn and don't close my mouth even if I'm in a public place.. and I blah blah, I blah too.. Enough. Bye byee! Thanks!
