Saya akui selalu kikuk setiap kali harus memasang senyum di depan kabar bahagia yang diam-diam menyakitkan. Dari rasa canggung semacam itu, musisi muda Ava Della Pietra melepas versi telanjang dari karya populernya lewat gubahan bertajuk happy for you (acoustic). Ia melucuti seluruh ornamen pop yang ramai, membiarkan petikan gitar akustik mengalun bersahaja mengiringi suaranya yang lirih tanpa nafsu meledak-ledak.
Aransemennya bergerak malas dengan jeda dawai yang renggang tanpa ketukan drum, memberi ruang sangat lapang bagi tarikan napasnya yang tipis. Kita diajak duduk diam menyimak nada-nada yang mengambang sunyi di sela gesekan senar. Ada perih yang merayap saat kita mengunyah racikan lagunya yang terasa manis sekaligus getir, cukup untuk membuat bulu kuduk bergetar pelan.
“It’s hard to be happy for you when she’s the only one you see,” tuturnya terus terang. Kalimat itu mendarat telak tanpa perlu disusul pembelaan diri apa pun.
happy for you (acoustic) ini menyuguhkan bumbu duka yang tetap renyah ditelan tanpa harus merapikan rasa sakit menjadi petuah bijak. Kalau memang belum sanggup ikut berbahagia, pura-pura tidak dengar saja dulu ya Mbak Ava Della Pietra.

You′re talking to me, but i don't hear a word Focusing on my breath and the blur in my eyes Trying to not cry I know you don′t know i'm holding back tears What'd you expect, i′ve loved you for years I′d feel stupid if i just let go You'll never know I hold it in, keep it in Just keep smiling Look away, not too long That′s the thing Cause otherwise you'd realize That i′m breaking down It's hard to be happy for you when she′s the only one you see It's hard for me biting my tongue when all that i know is you and me It's hard to be happy It′s hard to be happy, happy, happy It′s hard to be happy It's hard to be happy, happy, happy Everywhere you go, she′s by your side Holding your hand, wish you were holding mine I'll pretend that i′m fine I hold it in, keep it in Just keep smiling Look away, not too long That's the thing Cause otherwise you′d realize That i'm breaking down It's hard to be happy for you when she′s the only one you see It′s hard for me biting my tongue when all that i know is you and me It's hard to be happy It′s hard to be happy, happy, happy It's hard to be happy It′s hard to be happy, happy, happy I used to think when all was said and done I would be the one Then she looks at you, i see in your eyes Colors like a sunrise It's hard to be happy, happy, happy It′s hard to be happy for you when she's the only one you see It's hard for me biting my tongue when all that i know is you and me It′s hard to be happy It′s hard to be happy, happy, happy It's hard to be happy It′s hard to be happy, happy, happy
