Buat bahasan kali ini, gw pengen ngebahas tentang salah satu band dengan vokalis cewe' yang gw suka banget karakter suaranya. Namanya Automatic Loveletter. Gw suka banget sama suara vokalisnya karena suaranya tu beda dari yang laen, agak-agak serak gimana gitu. Menurut gw si keren suara dia. Band ni termasuk band yang baru juga si. Dibentuknya aja baru tahun 2007 kemaren. Band ini dibentuk di Tampa, Florida, USA. Saat ni Automatic Loveletter beranggotakan 3 orang, yaitu Juliet Simms (lead vokal, gitar), Tommy Simms (lead gitar, vokal), sama Clint Fowler (bass). By the way, foto band yang gw pajang di atas tu waktu mereka masih 4 orang, sebelum salah satu anggotanya memutuskan buat hengkang.
Juliet Simms si vokalis ternyata tu merupakan runner up dari program reality talent show The Voice season 2 yang diadakan di USA sana. Dia juga udah sering diundang untuk ngisi part vokal di dalem album musisi laen. Kayak di album band All Time Low yang So Wrong, It's Right, dia nyanyiin vokal di lagu "Remembering Sunday". Trus dia juga ngisi part vokal di dua album Secondhand Serenade, masing-masing di lagu "Fix You" sama "Hear Me Now". Well, emang suaranya bagus koq, mau gimana lagi? Haha.
Lagu yang mau gw bahas kali ni tu lagu yang dia nyanyiin sama-sama band nya, Automatic Loveletter. Judulnya Make Up Smeared Eyes. Seperti biasanya mending kita liat liriknya dulu aja ya.
"Make-Up Smeared Eyes"
Left your t-shirt in my room
Still smells of you
And the picture you hung on the door
Lay smashed, picture perfect
Explains now
Clearly nothing left but a memory
We only made out
You never kissed me
That's how I learned to hold back all feeling
Wait, please don't go
I won't stay
All these words on replay
I'm okay
It's all right
Good to know that you're fine
Pretending everything is right to make it better
I'll hide my make-up smeared eyes
To show that I'm fine
Some how you have managed to get under my skin
More than anyone ever did
And if every hole makes a scar
And every scar marks its place
Then I will never live freely without your trace
And it'll never be fair
I wrote my songs for you and you never even cared
So I'll forget you
I'll wash your t-shirt and kill the pillow
And cut you out of pictures
Wait, please don't go
I won't stay
All these words on replay
I'm okay
It's all right
Good to know that you're fine
Pretending everything is right to make it better
I'll hide my make-up smeared eyes
This drama sat shotgun
My eyes rained like autumn
Only the glove box knows how the story goes
Now that this bandage is broken
And the cuts left in open
I'll tell you just one thing
This wasn't worth the sting [x3]

Langsung aja sekarang gw bakalan bahas tentang apa maksud dari lagu ini. Secara sepintas si udah keliatan kalo di lagu tu tentang apa yang terjadi setelah kandasnya sebuah hubungan antara seorang cewe' sama cowo'. Menurut apa yang gw tangkep si, kayaknya si cewe'nya bener-bener cinta sama si cowo'. Apa yang dia kasih ke cowo' tu lebih banyak daripada yang cowo' itu kasih ke dia. Dan setelah dia sadar tentang hal itu, dia putuskan buat ngelupain si cowo' itu. Tapi dalam hatinya dia masih cinta sama tu cowo', dan itulah yang bikin semuanya jadi lebih complicated.
"Some how you have managed to get under my skin

Dia bener-bener cinta sama tu cowo', tapi si cowo' malah ngebikin luka yang dalem di diri si cewe'. Dan luka tu bakalan terus ada, ga bisa ilang dengan mudah, karena emang sedalam itu si cowo' udah ngelukain dia. Dia udah coba nglakuin berbagai macam cara agar si cowo' berubah, tapi tetep aja ga bisa. Kalo di lagu ini diibaratkan dia bikin sebuah lagu tentang si cowo', tapi si cowo' udah ga peduli lagi. Karena itulah dia mutusin buat ngelupain si cowo' itu.
"I wrote my songs for you and you never even cared
So I'll forget you
I'll wash your t-shirt and kill the pillow
And cut you out of pictures"
Dia tau kalo keadaan dia emang bener-bener kacau, tapi dia coba untuk bersikap tegar, kuat, dan menganggap semuanya baik-baik aja. Sehingga ga ada yang tau apa yang dia rasakan sebenarnya. Bahkan dia pun berusaha buat nyembunyiin kesedihannya, seperti dia nyembunyiin matanya yang berlumur make up karena air mata.
"Pretending everything is right to make it better
I'll hide my make-up smeared eyes"
