In 1979 it was a Good Good Year!

" Life was simple,
Roger was working round the clock to make a living,
No computers, none of that, he used his two hands,
Ignored the cold war,
His wife would keep him warm"

Have you ever heard that song? If you haven't, poor you! :p this is Good Charlotte - 1979 ! this is from their newest album, Cardiology. this song is so wonderful, lyricsty, and very enjoyable. lagu yang emang dimainin akustik ini benar-benar cocok buat dijadiin single, easy listening and easy remembering. naah, ini lagu bentar lagi bakal ada videonya dah, @GoodCharlotte mengabarkan bahwa they are casting a family who has twin brothers for the young Joel and Benji. jadii buat para keluarga yang punya anak kembar, pada ikutan giih, siapa tahu kepilih.
naah, 1979 sendiri menurut gua adalah lagu yang menceritakan tentang kehidupan jadul The Maddens where in 1979 they were born. dari liriknya juga kental banget kalo nih lagu nostalgia. dari lirik awal di atas tuh! bait pertama :
"Life was simple,
Roger was working round the clock to make a living,
No computers, none of that, he used his two hands,
Ignored the cold war,
His wife would keep him warm.
On the weekends,
He'd load the car up with the kids and they'd go fishing,
No need to work an extra job, there's no recession,
Damn right he smiled a lot,
They lay awake at night,
So in love. "
nyeritain tentang bapak mereka, Roger Combs yang tiap pagi udah bangun trus kerja n menghabiskan weekend with family. So in love! waktu itu masih penuh ama kasih sayang. ya, as we know, Joel ma Benji kan pernah marahan more than 10 years with their Dad because of his bad attitude, ini juga tertuang dalam lagu The Young And The Hopeless
ama Emotionless . Nah, pas 1979 itu, si Roger masii baek2nya, blom bejat kayak yang diceritain di dua lagi itu, ya iyalah, pas 1979 kan Benji ma Joel kan baru lahir :D

lanjut ke Chorus :
" It was a good, good year, (oh uh oh)
The kids were all right,
"Highway to Hell" beat up "Stayin' Alive", (oh uh oh)
The Clash was on the radio,
And mum and dad were still in love,
In 1979,
It was a good, good year. "

pokoknya tuh tahun beneran taun yang indah deh, Roger n Istrinya a.k.a Madden's parent is still in love, tiap hari dengerin "Highway to Hell" ama "Stayin' Alive". karena taun segitu kayaknya blum marak tipi #sotoy, jadi pada genjar-genjarnya dengerin The Clash, one of a pop-punk legend. Well, as we know that Good Charlotte kan juga pop-punk. Pokoknya keadaan saat itu masii baik-baik aje, Benji-Joel masii senangnya ngerengek" karena masii baby. HAPPY FAMILY dah!

lanjut bait ke 3 :
" In the morning,
Robin always woke up early in the kitchen,
She'd make the coffee, pack his lunch and then she'd kiss him,
And he would hold her tight,
When they were newlyweds.
He'd say maybe,
And she would laugh, they knew they'd have another baby,
She'd slave away all day until dinner was ready,
And they would dance so slow to "Just the Way You Are"."

nah, kan di bait pertama bapaknya udah diceritain, giliran maknye donk sekarang, si Robin Madden. sebelum gua cerita tentang nih bait, kasih info dulu yak, biasanya kan marga anak" itu nurun dari bapaknya, nah, kenapa Benji-Joel pakenya malah Madden, bukan Combs, yang dari bapaknya. yak, ini juga dikarenakan bapaknya tadi, pas dia ninggalin tuh keluarga begitu aja gara" masalah yang melilit kayak ekonomilah, dll, si Benji-Joel ngubah marganya jadi Madden. as we know that they were born as Joel Ryan Reuben Combs and Benjamin Levi Combs. setelah peristiwa bapaknya minggat gak mau ngurus mereka lgi, jadi dah, ampe sekarang Joel and Benji Madden.
LANJUUUUT! nih bait nyeritain si Robin, seperti kebanyakan emak, juga pasti bangun subuh", bikinin kopi and nyiapin bekal suaminya, nyiapin sarapan, dapet jatah 'sun' tiap kali sebelum berangkat kerja :p. di bait ini kan juga ada lirik " And she would laugh, they knew they'd have another baby" . yap, Joel n Benji, tambah satu Josh, kakaknya, tapii ga diceritain di lagu ni, punya adek cwek namanya Sarah. lanjuuut, seperti kebanyakan keluarga di Amrik sana, abis makan malem pasti dansa", yah, pacaran at puber ke-2 lah #sotoy.

okeh, lanjut ke lirik" selanjutnya :
"All the decades and the years have passed,
Not every family is built to last,
No time can take away these memories,
Remember when you said to me,
That we'd be all right."

nah, so many years after 1979, everything's changing. Not every family is built to last . gak semua keluarga itu bakalan langgeng, sejahtera selamanya. kayak keluarga ini. udah gua ceritain tadi kan, si Roger minggat gara" masalah bejibun tuh keluarga. tapi bagaimanapun juga kan nggak ada mantan keluarga. sebejat"nya Roger dia masih ayah, bagian dari Maddens family. semua kenangan yang udah dia bkin, bareng Robin juga, n pasti Josh-Benji-Joel gak akan pernah terlupakan.

lanjut ke End Chorus
" Oh uh oh
Disco couldn't survive,
With the Dream Police and Rock 'N Roll High,
Blondie powered 'Heart of Glass',
And Mum & Dad bought their first house,
In 1979,
It was a good, good year.
It was a good, good year."

setelah di bait sebelumnya mereka kembali ke masa sekarang, ini mereka nostalgia lagi. menekankan bahwa apapun yang terjadi, IN 1979 IT WAS A GOOD GOOD YEAR! :)

Segini aja ya, dari gue, sorry kalo geje, maklum pertama kalinya gua coba nganalisis sebuah lagu murni dari pendapat gue bukan terinspirasi dari pendapat orang lain. yah, karena gua hobi nyari" info tentang keluarga pribadi Madden, jadi agak ngeh ama nih lagu :)
