Jhalli – blue bodies. (feat. Alan Watts)

Jhalli menulis blue bodies. sebagai lagu tentang kematian, lalu dengan sopan menyediakan jalan pintas. Kamu yang tak sabar dipersilakan melompati potongan suara filsuf Alan Watts dan dengung “aum” di pembukanya.

Jalan pintas itu manis. Single ini berangkat dari maranasati, praktik Buddhis merenungkan kematian setiap hari agar kita belajar menghargai hidup yang singkat, dan dari pengalaman Jhalli pertama kali melihat jenazah orang yang ia cintai. Lagu tentang renungan harian yang mengizinkan renungannya dilewati.

Saran saya, jangan dilewati.

Sebab atmosferik yang tenang di bawah suara Alan Watts menyiapkan ruangan. Denting piano lalu datang dengan progresi akord yang berulang-ulang, mengiringi vokal rendah yang perlahan naik. Lapisan adanya menebal, dan di reff vokalnya berlapis harmoni rapi, ditemani ketukan elektronik dan falsetto yang menyapu tipis-tipis. Ia diramu tanpa tergesa. Murung, tapi tak meratap.

Ada duka yang memilih mencatat hal-hal kecil. Reff terakhir blue bodies. menjelma daftar kegiatan manusia, dari berdansa di bawah bintang sampai bertengkar di restoran (kita semua pernah). Terselip “Born from dust, turn to dust / Blue bodies / Library books we must”. Kalimatnya menggantung, dan kita tahu kata kerja apa yang hilang.

Menjelang akhir, instrumennya melambat satu per satu lalu memudar sampai hening. Kali ini tidak ada jalan pintas untuk melompatinya.

Lirik Lagu Jhalli – blue bodies. (feat. Alan Watts)

Breathless I woke
To a world, you do not exist
Cold to the bone
It’s a joke, I wish I was in

Run down the stairs
And I hold you but you’re not there
I feel the blood
In my fingertips, it’s not fair

People talk about these material things
Like it’s always theirs for the keeping
I find myself outside of the madhouse
Thinking about

Blue bodies
Sand leaking hourglass
Blue bodies
Buried beneath the grass
Blue lips with no words
Blue waves of pure hurt
A heart that remembers the touch
Of blue bodies

Golden awards
Money that grows from green green trees
Colors that draw
But these things shall not give me peace

But a pink finger plays
The black key so innocently
I savor the voice
That the angels have gifted me

People think they live in their bodies
But their bodies live within them
I cannot relate to this bloodlust
All I see are

Blue bodies
Dancing beneath the stars
Blue bodies
Kissing in dim lit bars
Blue music I’ve heard
Blue wings of a bird
A heart that remembers the warmth
Of blue bodies
Fighting in restaurants
Blue bodies
Praying for what we want
Blue bodies
Born from dust, turn to dust
Blue bodies
Library books we must
Blue bodies
Drink in life like a straw
Blue bodies
Drop when the heartbeat’s gone
Blue eyes in sunlight
Blue skies clear sometimes
My heart will remember it all
The blue bodies
