Forgettable – Never Dancing Salsa Again

Drum, bas, dan gitar masuk bersamaan di detik pertama Never Dancing Salsa Again, tanpa intro, seolah takut kita keburu pamit dari lantai dansa. Ini single debut Forgettable, penulis lagu yang bermarkas di Berlin, ditulis pagi hari setelah semalam dipermalukan di klub salsa.

Vokal pria langsung bercerita. Begitu reff datang, ketukan drum mengeras dan bait sebelumnya mendadak terasa seperti pemanasan. Melodi gitar berbelok di bridge, lalu instrumen berhenti satu per satu. Racikannya renyah dan agak berdebu, diramu dengan peralatan bekas Jerman Timur plus synth pinjaman dari anggota Stereolab di studio sebelah.

Strukturnya aman, bait, reff, bridge, seperti langkah dasar yang sudah dihafal. Lucunya, ia tidak pernah salah langkah padahal bercerita tentang orang yang tak bisa berdansa, dan kita dibuat mengangguk-anggukkan kepala sampai akhir.

Ada rasa malu yang ditertawakan dengan santai di sepanjang liriknya, sampai ia bernyanyi “As an Olympian I’d probably miss out on the bronze”. Saya tidak tahu kenapa medali yang tidak pernah didapat bisa selucu ini.

Never Dancing Salsa Again akan masuk album Thank You for your Patience and Understanding yang dijadwalkan rilis musim semi 2027. Dengan nama proyek yang sengaja dibuat mudah dilupakan seperti Forgettable, kejutan menyenangkan rasanya tinggal soal waktu.

Lirik Lagu Forgettable – Never Dancing Salsa Again

I’ve got a feeling, that you don’t like coffee
It’s just a reason to get a little distance from me
I cannot blame you for a cold move that that but just don’t look back until I’ve gotten over the fact

We paid a guy, to watch over the car
Racketeering but isn’t that what the Mafias for?
I feel as if my old illusions are gone,
If this is having fun, I think I’d rather be moving on

So I slip on a drink, while I look at my feet,
Like a Fish out of water
Oh god, is this the way things end
Spinning there in the dark, missing every beat, as I’m thinking about her
At least for now we’re putting all this to bed
Because I’m never dancing salsa again

I can’t remember, since I’ve felt this average.
As an Olympian I’d probably miss out on the bronze
I think I’ve overstayed my welcome again
I’m getting subtle hints, I’ve got a long-term friendship to mend.

And a few years later, in a bar in China town
Laughing hard at the two left feet I was dragging around
It’s strange to think how I could’ve been such a mess.
And even stranger still, everything turned out for the best
