Rocco of the Snow – A/B

A/B lahir dari sebuah video keluarga. Di situ Rocco of the Snow kecil sedang terpaku pada Super Mario, sementara adik perempuannya bertanya polos harus menekan tombol A atau B. Pertanyaannya dicuekin. (Sang adik, tentu, tak pernah membiarkannya lupa.) Di sini, kasus begitu biasanya berakhir dengan aduan ke ibu.

Ketika adik itu menikah, Rocco of the Snow menjadikan pertanyaan soal tombol tadi sebagai pertanyaan soal hidup.

Single ini ditulis dan direkam dalam sehari, dan ia memang terdengar seperti masakan yang tak sempat dibumbui berlebihan. Gitar akustik membuka, vokalnya masuk di tempo sedang, lalu drum ringan, perkusi, dan bass menyusul menjelang reff tanpa mendorong kita menjauh. Apa adanya.

Yang membuat saya tersenyum lebar justru permainan hitungannya. Coba kamu perhatikan ONE yang berhuruf kapital, hati yang three times too big, lalu “Four the love of god let me get through this song”, lengkap dengan for yang sengaja salah ketik. Ada haru yang ditahan-tahan di balik lelucon angka itu. Alih-alih nasihat panjang, di persimpangan jalan ia cuma menjawab A atau B, toh tak ada yang benar-benar kalah.

Baris terakhir A/B mengabarkan ia berhasil sampai di ujung lagu. Kita juga, dengan mata agak basah. Selamat untuk adikmu, mas Rocco!

Lirik Lagu Rocco of the Snow – A/B

Always tried my best not to grow up
Cause the ones who did always seemed to regret
Then my little sister went and did and changed my mind on it.
Maybe there’s something to this love thing, yet

I don’t always know just where I’m heading to
My mind, it wanders as it’s bound to do.
I’ll be minding my own business and you’ll pop into my thoughts
So I count the ways that I love you

You’re ONE of the realest people that I know.
Too much so to ever fake how you feel.
Your heart’s three times too big and your ideas don’t belong.
Four the love of god let me get through this song

Don’t always have the right advice to give
At times I give when I’m not asked for it
I only wish to know you're living well and happily
And that your spirit will always be free.

Here it comes, the fabled fork in the road
Which way you’re s’posed to go nobody knows
Eventually, you come to me and ask how to choose,
I say A or B, can’t really lose.

Because you’re one of the most beautiful souls that I know.
Your laugh will always show just how feel
Two or three mistakes were made to learn right from wrong.
For the love of god let me get through this song.

Your hearts three times too big and your smart mouth don’t belong
By the love of god I made it through this song.
