Mariano Mallia – More Than Enough

Akhirnya kita bertemu lagi dengan Mariano Mallia, lewat More Than Enough, single tentang keluarga pekerja yang hidup pas-pasan tapi tetap bersyukur.

Musisi yang telah berhasil berjuang dari cedera vokal di 2018 ini sempat menjadi sopir Uber, sebelum empat tahun pemulihan membawanya kembali ke musik. Lagu ini lahir dari keputusan lain yang sama beratnya, meninggalkan pekerjaan aman sebagai penasihat keuangan demi bermusik.

Racikannya sudah kita kenal rasanya. Dawai renyah, drum yang hangat, tempo sedang yang santai, dan vokal Mariano Mallia yang bertutur tanpa melodramatis. Semuanya rapi dan aman. Saya jarang betah dengan yang serapi ini.

Ada rasa syukur yang didaftar di reff, pekerjaan tetap, makanan di meja, anak kecil yang berlari menyambut ayahnya pulang, lalu ia mengulangnya tiga kali nyaris tanpa perubahan. Meja makan yang ditata sama setiap malam.

More Than Enough tampaknya bakal lebih awet di daftar putar orang tua kita daripada milik kita.

Lirik Lagu Mariano Mallia – More Than Enough

Three jobs, two kids, a wife and some bills on the table
Heaven knows I'm doing the best that I can
We've got just enough cash in the bank so I can pay them
And these nights all I can do is fold my hands

Cause some days it feels I'm barely getting by
But when I walk through that door I realize

That I've got a steady job that pays the rent
Food on the table when I walk in
A little angel running up yelling "daddy's home"
When I see that smile I know I've got it all
Hugs, kisses, and I love you's
When the woman I love walks into the room
Giving me her hand and her heart to hold
And if I've got that I've got more than gold
The good Lord knows these times are getting tough
But when I walk through that door
Yeah, I know I've got more than enough

Those three words, two hearts, one home, it gives it a meaning
And no one ever promised this life was gonna be easy
Sometimes it's hard to see it
But they give me something to believe in
When I look in those eyes, yeah, I've got my reason

And even when I'm barely getting by
When I walk through that door I realize

That I've got a steady job that pays the rent
Food on the table when I walk in
A little angel running up yelling "daddy's home"
When I see that smile I know I've got it all
Hugs, kisses, and I love you's
When the woman I love walks into the room
Giving me her hand and her heart to hold
And if I've got that I've got more than gold
The good Lord knows these times are getting tough
But when I walk through that door
Yeah, I know I've got more than enough
I've got more than enough

And on the days when I can't take it
I just bow my head and thank Him

That I've got a steady job that pays the rent
Food on the table when I walk in
A little angel running up yelling "daddy's home"
When I see that smile I know I've got it all
Hugs, kisses, and I love you's
When the woman I love walks into the room
Giving me her hand and her heart to hold
And if I've got that I've got more than gold
The good Lord knows these times are getting tough
And the weight of this world keeps piling up
But when I walk through that door
Yeah, I know I've got more than enough
I've got more than enough
Yeah, I've got more than enough
