Resolusi 2009

Sesaat sebelum gue pengen menuliskan resolusi buat tahun 2009,
gue menemukan sebuah quote yang membuat gue tersenyum dalam hati
dan akhirnya gak jadi bikin resolusi apa-apa.

"If you want to make God laugh, tell Him your plans." - Woody Allen -

Selamat Tahun Baru 2009

Little Drummer Boy

Ini adalah lagu Natal yang gak pernah gagal bikin gue pengen nangis.

Sering ada mahasiswa nanya ada gak salah satu contoh copy yang baik. Maka gue harus bilang lirik ini adalah satunya. Dengan kata-kata sederhana, tidak berpura-pura, tapi punya makna yang dalam. Tentang kesedehanaan, kejujuran, ketulusan, cinta, dan semua yang bisa menjadikan pembacanya menjadi manusia yang lebih baik.

Kata-kata yang membuka katup-katup imajinasi untuk terbang liar. Sehingga ketika mendarat kembali, ada kedamaian yang tersisa.

Little Drummer Boy

Come they told me, pa rum pum pum pum
A new born King to see, pa rum pum pum pum
Our finest gifts we bring, pa rum pum pum pum
To lay before the King, pa rum pum pum pum,
rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum,

So to honor Him, pa rum pum pum pum,
When we come.

Little Baby, pa rum pum pum pum
I am a poor boy too, pa rum pum pum pum
I have no gift to bring, pa rum pum pum pum
That's fit to give the King, pa rum pum pum pum,
rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum,

Shall I play for you, pa rum pum pum pum,
On my drum?

Mary nodded, pa rum pum pum pum
The ox and lamb kept time, pa rum pum pum pum
I played my drum for Him, pa rum pum pum pum
I played my best for Him, pa rum pum pum pum,
rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum,

Then He smiled at me, pa rum pum pum pum
Me and my drum.

The words and music to the Christmas song Little Drummer Boy was composed by Katherine K. Davis, Henry Onorati and Harry Simeone in 1958. The lyrics of Little Drummer Boy consist of no less than 21 rum pum pum pum' - a major part of the song and therefore presenting an apparently easy task for the lyricist! However, Little Drummer Boy has been a huge hit for several artists. The most notable rendition was created by the most unlikely combination of Bing Crosby and David Bowie. This version of Little Drummer Boy was a massive hot for the artists and was in fact Bing Crosby's most successful recording since the legendary White Christmas.
