...

I am strong, because I am weak...
I am beautiful, because I know my flaws...
I am a lover, because I have been afraid...
I am wise, because I have been foolish...
And I can laugh, because I’ve known sadness...

Brandy Alexander

Performed by Feist

Why I like this song:

Saya sudah benar-benar jatuh cinta dengan Feist. Terima kasih untuk kawan saya "Wati" karena telah memberi 2 album lengkap pada saya. Lirik-liriknya, semua, saya suka. Beberapa bisa dibilang 'closely relate to my life.' :) Brandy Alexander ini salah satunya. Brandy Alexander sebenarnya adalah nama sejenis minuman beralkohol, campuran brandy, krim kakao, dan heavy cream. Mungkin minuman ini suka bikin Feist in trouble makanya tercipta lagu ini. Saya sendiri belum pernah minum. Haram hukumnya! :))

Kembali ke makna lagu. Pernah merasa ingin bersama seseorang yang secara logis tidak mungkin? Saya pernah mengalaminya dulu satu kali. Saat itu saya menyukai seseorang yang berbeda keyakinan. Rasa mengatakan ingin terus bersama, tapi logika mengatakan tidak boleh. Dia, cinta pertama saya.
Saat ini, saya mengalaminya lagi. Perang rasa dan logika. Tidak sekompleks dulu memang. Dia yang sekarang tidak memiliki keyakinan yang berbeda dengan saya. Hanya saja, saya memiliki banyak ketakutan tentang kami. Ketakutan-ketakutan yang beralasan. Because he's my Brandy Alexander, and I feel like his Brandy Alexander also. We'll keep eachother in trouble if we're together. So, is it better that we stop?
...rasa atau logika?

Here's the lyrics:
Though I'd like to be the girl for him
And cross the sea and land for him
On milky skin my tongue is sand until
The ever distant band begins to play

He's my Brandy Alexander
Always gets me into trouble
But that's another matter
Brandy Alexander

He's my Brandy Alexander
Always gets me into trouble
But that's another matter
Brandy Alexander

Though I know what I love most of him
I'm walking on needles and pins
My addiction to the worst of him
The low moon helps me sing

I'm his Brandy Alexander
Always get him into trouble
I hide that I'm flattered
Brandy Alexander

I'm his Brandy Alexander
Always get him into trouble
I hide that I'm flattered
Brandy Alexander

Goes down easy
It goes down easy,
It goes down easy,
It goes down easy,

Brandy Alexander...
***
For my dear Brandy Alexander
