My Confession

Not literally. Well, yes, a bit.

Sejak kecil, saya nggak begitu suka film. Pelarian saya, selalu dan selalu, adalah buku. Baru akhir-akhir ini aja, ketika teman-teman di sekre banyak ngomongin film −yang ternyata asik juga sih−, saya baru mulai ngikutin.

Tapi ini bukan cerita tentang film baru. Ini cerita soal film lawas tahun 2005 yang bikin saya terpesona sampai malam itu saya tonton empat kali berturut-turut. Cerita soal filmnya ada di sini. 

Karena lagi gandrung, mulailah saya muter-muter youtube nyari behind the scene-nya. Alhasil, selain nemuin BTS, saya juga nemuin satu video kompilasi yang dibuat salah satu fans. Saya lihat potongan scene-nya, saya dengar lagunya, dan saya tersihir.

It bewitches me.

Lagunya Josh Groban ternyata (saya belum pernah dengerin lagu dia sih, meski dia kondang, ini pertama kalinya). Dan menurut metrolyrics.com, penulis lagunya Richard Marx, sodara-sodara! Pantes aja romantis abis. Judulnya? My Confession. Kalau dipikir-pikir, liriknya cocok sih sama filmnya, hehe.

MY CONFESSION

I have been blind, unwilling

To see the true love you're giving

I have ignored every blessing

I'm on my knees, confessing

That I feel myself surrender each time I see your face

I am staggered by your beauty, your unassuming grace

And I feel my heart is turning, falling into place

I can't hide, now here my confession

I have been wrong about you

Thought I was strong without you

For so long nothing could move me

For so long nothing could change me

Now I feel myself surrender each time I see your face

I am captured by your beauty, your unassuming grace

And I feel my heart is turning, falling into place

I can't hide, now here my confession

You are the air that I breathe

You're the ground beneath my feet

When did I stop believing?

Cause I fell myself surrender each time I see your face

I am staggered by your beauty, your unassuming grace

And I feel my heart is falling into place

I can't hide, now here my confession

I can't hide, now here my confession
