Jatuh cinta sama sahabat sendiri itu salah satu keputusan paling merepotkan yang sering kita buat dengan sadar. Susah rasanya menahan mulut supaya tidak keceplosan saat sedang asyik nongkrong bareng.
FREND menangkap dilema menyebalkan ini lewat single terbarunya yang berjudul “Arcade Elevator (feat. SKV)”. Proyek solo dari musisi asal Inggris Tom Woods ini menyajikan irama pop indie yang lumayan asyik buat dipakai senyum-senyum sendiri.
Single ini mempertemukan suasana pop kamar tidur yang agak gelap dengan kilau synthpop yang terang dan di racik menjadi retro elektronik yang memancing tubuh buat bergerak pelan. Aransemennya dibangun ringkas dan padat, menciptakan semacam lagu kebangsaan mini buat kaum yang pasrah terjebak di zona pertemanan.
Vokal SKV masuk membawakan liriknya dengan manis tapi menyiratkan keputusasaan yang jujur. Penggalan “Because you’re fun to be with, And I’m so dumb ,I can’t just tell you, That you’re the one” terdengar layaknya rutukan orang yang sedang memarahi kebodohannya sendiri di depan cermin.
Memutar “Arcade Elevator (feat. SKV)” rasanya pas banget buat menemani jalan kaki santai ke minimarket depan komplek. Musiknya punya energi enteng yang ampuh untuk mendinginkan isi kepala yang sedang ruwet memikirkan perasaan terpendam.
Lirik Lagu FREND – Arcade Elevator (feat. SKV)
We been good friends for some time I go to yours, you come to mine I like the way that you talk Watching your mouth move, follow your eyes Something that tells me it’s a wrong What if the feeling’s just mine Stupid I know when we’re laughing But I’m not sleeping at night Because you’re fun to be with And I'm so dumb I can’t just tell you That you’re the one Meet me later By the arcade elevator See ya later Meet me later By the arcade elevator See ya later I’ll be waiting there for you All the things that we could All the things that we could Do do do do - do do do Do do do do I’ll always be by your side I swerve at yours, you crash at mine Running around on the roads Don’t want to burn out or go up in smoke I’d hate to mess up our lives And lose control on the bend So now I keep it in low You shouldn’t fall for a friend Because you’re fun to be with And I'm so dumb I can’t just tell you That you’re the one Meet me later By the arcade elevator See ya later Meet me later By the arcade elevator See ya later I’ll be waiting there for you All the things that we can do I’ll be waiting I’ll be waiting I’ll be waiting waiting Meet me later By the arcade elevator See ya later Meet me later By the arcade elevator See ya later See ya later
