Lama sekali saya tidak mendengarkan lagu-lagunya Neri Per Caso yang artinya Dressed in Black by Chance, atau ada juga yang mengartikan Black by Chain. Kenapa black? Karena tampilan fashion grup musik acapella asal Italia itu selalu berwarna hitam.
Kelompok ini terbentuk sekitar tahun 90-an dari kota kecil Salerno di Italia. Padahal acapella sendiri biasanya dinyanyiin oleh orang negro. Pertama kali dengar lagu mereka Quello Che Vuoi, nggak pernah bosen sama dengarkan berkali-kali.. ;)) . Bukan hanya suara , tapi performance mereka dari dulu sampai sekarang stabil banget lho..
Saya bukan hanya tergila-gila sama suaranya, tapi juga.. uhuk.. personilnya :”>. Kangen dengar suara mereka lagi setelah sekian lama terlupakan. Sebenernya nggak terlupakan, hanya saja semua kaset & CD Neri Per Caso saya ada di Surabaya semua.
Mendadak tadi pagi saya “temukan” mereka dengan video klip yang digarap dengan (menurut saya) sangat artistik. Simple, tapi keren banget 😉 .
Judul lagunya What A Fool Believes, by Neri Per Caso feat Mario Biondi :
He came from somewhere back in her long ago
The sentimental fool don’t see
Tryin’ hard to recreate
What had yet to be created once in her life
She musters a smile
For his nostalgic tale
Never coming near what he wanted to say
Only to realize
It never really was
She had a place in his life
He never made her think twice
As he rises to her apology
Anybody else would surely know
He’s watching her go
But what a fool believes he sees
No wise man has the power to reason away
What seems to be
Is always better than nothing
And nothing at all keeps sending
him…
Somewhere back in her long ago
Where he can still believe there’s a place
in her life
Someday, somewhere, she will return
She had a place in his life
He never made her think twice
As he rises to her apology
Anybody else would surely know
He’s watching her go
But what a fool believes he sees
No wise man has the power to reason away
What seems to be
Is always better than nothing
There’s nothing at all
But what a fool believes he sees…
You guys, are awesome as always.. 😉
