take it slow, cause we're just ordinary people

lagi iseng ngidupin iTunes di PC gw. Playing something that tickling my ears.. ya, John Legend nyanyiin lagu yg satu-satunya gw tau :) "Ordinary People", ini potongan liriknya..

Girl im in love with you, this ain't the honeymoon past the infatuation phase
Right in the thick of love, at times we get sick of love, it seems like we argue everyday

I know i misbehaved and you made your mistakes, And we both still got room left to grow
And though love sometimes hurts, I still put you first, And we'll make this thing work
But I think we should take it slow

We're just ordinary people We don't know which way to go
Cuz we're ordinary people Maybe we should take it slow
This time we'll take it slow

This ain't a movie no, no fairy tale conclusion ya'll, It gets more confusing everyday
Sometimes it's heaven sent, We head back to hell again, We kiss and we make up on the way

I hang up you call, We rise and we fall, And we feel just like walking away
But as our love advances, We take second chances, Though it's not a fantasy
I Still want you to stay

We're just ordinary people,
We don't know which way to go
Cuz we're ordinary people
Take it slow

Maybe we'll live and learn
Maybe we'll crash and burn
Maybe you'll stay, maybe you'll leave, maybe you'll return
Maybe you'll never find
Maybe we won't survive
But maybe we'll grow
We never know baby
you and I

John Legend - Ordinary People (Get Lifted)

konsep video klipnya juga kerrrreeeen, tapi dalem. Cuma sesimple latar belakang putih, dan John Legend bermain piano di tengah ruang. Tapi di selingi 3 pasangan yang sedang bertengkar. Pasangan pertama kayanya couples in love but in the middle of quarrel, in the end, the man slaps--yeah,slaps--the lady :(

pasangan kedua kayanya suami istri yang tengah bertengkar dan si Ibu menggendong anaknya meninggalkan sang ayah. Kayanya sang Ayah sedang membanggakan jasanya terhadap keluarga, makanya dia mencoba merebut sang anak dari pelukan ibunya.

Sedangkan pasangan yang ketiga adalah keluarga yang mempertahankan pendapat mereka terhadap anaknya. Tampaknya kedua orang tua mencoba untuk menanamkan apa yang mereka inginkan ke anaknya. keinginan anak berbeda dengan keinginan orangtuanya, dan jiwa pemberontak anaknya muncul dan terjadi pertengkaran diantara mereka.

di 40 detik video terakhir (yah, sudah semestinya berakhir kan?) ketiganya menyadari semua kesalahan mereka dan berbaikan. Sang cowo memeluk cewenya, ayah dan ibu berpelukan sambil memeluk anaknya yang masih kecil. Dan pasangan yg ketiga menunjukkan sang anak diwisuda :') Simply happy ending, which is hard to achieved in real world :)

padahal gw udah ndenger lagu ini tepat setahun yang lalu.. dipenghujung Januari 2005. Sekarang aja baru terdengar bahwa memang gw hanya manusia biasa.. manusia yang bisa melakukan kesalahan.. yah, kesalahan :(

ah, mungkin sudah waktunya untuk "slow down the pace"... terlalu banyak hasrat yang menggebu, terlalu banyak keinginan, terlalu banyak target pencapaian.. i feel time is too short. So little time too much to do..
