Wallners – Movie Stars

Selebritas terbang ke Mars, teman-teman menikah terlalu cepat, dan berita menghitung sembilan hari menuju bulan, sementara narator di Movie Stars sibuk dengan satu urusan kecil yang jauh lebih penting baginya, yaitu menyadari bahwa ia sudah tidak lagi memikirkan seseorang.

Wallners, empat bersaudara dari Wina, meracik lagu ini pelan-pelan. Suara mbak Anna yang rendah dan lembut bertemu gitar yang hangat dan sentuhan synth, lalu ia membuka diri sedikit demi sedikit, makin lapang, makin tanpa bobot, sampai kita dibawa melayang tanpa sadar kapan kaki lepas dari lantai. Sekilas Mazzy Star yang dinaikkan ke roket Daft Punk.

Yang membuat saya jatuh hati justru baris paling remeh. Ada kebosanan yang manis di sini, gaduh-di-luar-sepi-di-dalam, dan kita semua pernah membaca kabar besar sambil memikirkan hal kecil yang jauh lebih dekat. Misi Artemis berangkat, hati yang patah diam-diam sembuh, dan di tengahnya terselip “my life on Earth is boring / and I really hate the news”.

Tidak ada yang lebih jujur dari itu.

Menjelang akhir, Movie Stars memutar “life goes by”, baris pembukanya sendiri, delapan kali seperti mantra, dan mata ikut terpejam tanpa diminta.

Di luar, berita masih terus berdatangan.

Lirik Lagu Wallners – Movie Stars

Life goes by
And movie stars
They disappear
And fly to Mars
But I don't know
If it's all true
I watch them leave
And think of you
Life goes by
And movie stars
They disappear
And fly to Mars
But I don't know
If it's all true
I watch them leave
And think of you
Friends are getting married
And I think it's way too soon
In the news it said it started
And it's nine days to the moon
But my life on Earth is boring
And I really hate the news
I know Artemis is leaving
And I think I'm over you
Life goes by
And movie stars
They disappear
And fly to Mars
But I don't know
If it's all true
I watch them leave
And think of you
Life goes by
And movie stars
They disappear
And fly to Mars
But I don't know
If it's all true
I watch them leave
And think of you
Life goes by
And life goes by
And life goes by
And life goes by
And life goes by
And life goes by
And life goes by

And life goes by
Life goes by
And movie stars
Disappear
Fly to Mars
I don't know
If it's all true
Watch them leave
Think of you
