Gloria

20 Juni 2008 7 Komentar

Ini adalah lagu pertama di album kedua U2, October.
Gloria konon merupakan refleksi dari perjalanan iman The Edge, Larry Mullen Jr dan Bono.
Mereka bertiga adalah kristiani (dalam sumber yang saya baca tidak diberitahukan bagaimana pandangan iman si Adam Clayton).
Hal ini tampak jelas terutama pada bagian reffrein yang menggunakan bahasa latin “Gloria…in te domine, Gloria…exultate” dan merupakan referensi dari
kitab Psalm (Mazmur) 30:2 “in te Domine, speravi” (Aku akan memuji Engkau, ya TUHAN).

Lagu yang diciptakan pada 1981 ini adalah lagu dengan judul yang sama dengan lagu milik Van Morisson yang diliris tahun 1964.
Bicara mengenai kesamaan judul serta keseluruhan makna lagu
“Gloria” ini, secara pribadi aku sangat tertarik dengan ungkapan Bono dalam buku Race of Angels sebagai berikut:

“I actually really like that lyric.
It was written really quickly. I think it expresses the thing of language again, this thing of speaking in tongues, looking for a way out of language.
I try to sing this song… I try to stand up but I cant find my feet. And taking this Latin thing, this hymn thing. Its so outrageous at the end going to the full Latin whack.
That still makes me smile. Its so wonderfully mad and epic and operatic. And of course Gloria is about a woman in the Van Morrison sense. Being an Irish band, youre conscious of that.
And I think that what happened at that moment was very interesting: people saw that you could actually write about a woman in the spiritual sense and that you could write about God
in the sexual sense. And that was a moment. Because before that there had been a line. That you can actually sing to God, but it might be a woman?
Now, you can pretend its about God, but not a woman!

Oh ya, satu lagi yang perlu dinformasikan mengenai lagu ini, video “Gloria” yang difilmkan pada 1981 ini dibuat oleh Meiert Avis dan merupakan video musik U2 yang
pertama yang diterima oleh MTV.

Nah, penasaran seperti apa liriknya, berikut ini adalah lirik lengkapnya:

Gloria

I try to sing this song
I…I try to stand up
But I cant find my feet
I try, I try to speak up
But only in you Im complete

Gloria…in te domine
Gloria…exultate
Gloria…Gloria
Oh Lord, loosen my lips

I try to sing this song
I…I try to get in
But I cant find the door
The door is open
Youre standing there
You let me in

Gloria…in te domine
Gloria…exultate
Oh Lord, if I had anything
Anything at all
Id give it to you
Id give it to you

Gloria…Gloria…

    U2 digolongkan grup CCM (Christian Contemporary Music) juga, meskipun sebagian orang ga menganggapnya grup CCM. Menurut saya, U2 adalah band terhebat sepanjang masa.. kayaknya sulit banget deh menyaingi kesuksesan Bono dan kawan2nya itu..

    @Fachia: Thanks, salam kenal
    @Ika: Ya, U2 memang termasuk CCM dan malah lagu-lagu mereka sering dipakai untuk perayaan ekaristi sehingga muncullah jargon U2charist!
    Hal-hal itu pula yang membuat saya merasa semakin suka dengan U2.
    @DM: Anda siapa yah..? Heh? Heh?
