Michael Learn to Rock (MLtR)

Michael Learn to Rock, yang sering disingkat dengan MLtR adalah salah satu grup musik favoritku.  Lagu-lagu mereka gampang dinyanyikan dan diikutin (lina banget), trus yang pasti romatis gitu.  Aku ingat suatu hari karena adikku tau aku MLtR mania…dia khusus membelikanku VCD (asli bkn bajakn ya!) yang berisi kumpulan lagu-lagu MLtR.  Kamu tau?.. itu salah satu hadiah terindah dalam hidupku (lebay mode on), coz waktu itu aku hanya punya kaset-kaset MLtR, hey…akhir thn 90-an VCD itu mahal bgt tau..!, skarang saja kita tinggal download mp3 trus save n’ hearing, just it! simple kan?

Mengapa dinamakan Michael Learns to Rock? Menurut yg pernah kubaca, mereka sangat mengidolakan MJ alias Michael Jackson the king of pop itu, so mereka berandai-andai gimana klo si MJ belajar nyanyi lagu rock juga.  Oh ya.. dari dulu lagu-lagu MLtR ini banyak membantuku belajar bahasa inggris, coz jaman itu aku suka menterjemahkan lagu2 yg kusuka biar ngak asal bunyi doang but juga tau maksud lagu tsb… coba klo mereka tau mungkin MLtR diganti jadi LLtE alias Lina Learn to English hehehe…

Grup ini berasal dari Denmark didirikan pada tahun 1988.  Personilnya ada empat orang yaitu vokalis dan pemain keyboard Jascha Richter, Drummer Kare Wanscher, Gitaris Mikkel Lentz, serta pemain Bass dan Guitar Soren Madsen.  Pada 2000 Madsen keluar dari MLtR untuk bersolo karier, sehingga grup ini berubah menjadi tiga personil.  Michael Learns to Rock terkenal di Eropa, Amrik hingga ke Asia karena banyak albumnya yang memperoleh emas atau platinum. Ok..let’s see more song from their album, kamu juga boleh download lagu-lagu mereka dan liat liriknya tapi just my fave song aja ya!… have fun n’ check it dot…

“Breaking My Heart”

I'm on the floor counting one minute more
No one to break the silence
Staring in to the night
all alone but that's alright
It's the feeling deep inside I don't like

Chorus:
There is no excuse my friend
for breaking my heart
breaking my heart again
This is where our journey ends
Your breaking my heart again

Here in my bed
counting the words you've said
They linger in the shadows
Coming home late at night
drunk again but that's alright
It's the look in your eyes I don't like

Chorus:
There is no excuse my friend
for breaking my heart
breaking my heart again

This is where our journey ends
Your  breaking my heart again

“Sleeping Child”

The Milky Way upon the heavens
is twinkling just for you
and Mr. Moon he came by
to say goodnight to you

I'll sing for you I'll sing for mother
We're praying for the world
and for the people everywhere
gonna show them all we care

Chorus:
Oh my sleeping child the world's so wild
but you've build your own paradise
That's one reason why I'll cover you sleeping child

If all the people around the world
they had a mind like yours
we'd have no fighting and no wars
there would be lasting peace on Earth

If all the kings and all the leaders
could see you here this way
they would hold the Earth in their arms
they would learn to watch you play

Chorus:
Oh my sleeping child the world's so wild
but you've build your own paradise
That's one reason why I'll cover you sleeping child

I'm gonna cover my sleeping child
Keep you away from the world so wild

“25 Minutes”

After some time I've finally made up my mind
she is the girl and I really want to make her mine
I'm searching everywhere to find her again
to tell her I love her
and I'm sorry 'bout the things I've done

I find her standing in front of the church
the only place in town where I didn't search
She looks so happy in her weddingdress
but she's crying while she's saying this

Chorus:

Boy I've missed your kisses all the time but this is
twentyfive minutes too late
Though you travelled so far boy I'm sorry you are
twentyfive minutes too late

Against the wind I'm going home again..hmm..
wishing me back to the time when we were more than friends

But still I see her in front of the church
the only place in town where I didn't search
She looked so happy in her weddingdress
but she’s  crying while she was saying this

Chorus:
Boy I've missed your kisses all the time but this is
twentyfive minutes too late
Though you travelled so far boy I'm sorry you are
twentyfive minutes too late

Out in the streets
places where hungry hearts have nothing to eat
inside my head
still I can hear the words she said

Chorus:
Boy I've missed your kisses all the time but this is
twentyfive minutes too late
Though you travelled so far boy I'm sorry you are
twentyfive minutes too late

I can still hear her say.......

“That’s Why (You Go Away)”

Baby won't you tell me why there is sadness in your eyes
I don't wanna say goodbye to you
Love is one big illusion I should try to forget
but there is something left in my head

You're the one who set it up now you're the one to make it stop
I'm the one who's feeling lost right now
Now you want me to forget every little thing you said
but there is something left in my head

Chorus:
I won't forget the way you're kissing
The feeling's so strong were lasting for so long
But I'm not the man your heart is missing
That's why you go away I know

You were never satisfied no matter how I tried
Now you wanna say goodbye to me
Love is one big illusion I should try to forget
but there is something left in my head

Chorus:
I won't forget the way you're kissing
The feeling's so strong were lasting for so long
But I'm not the man your heart is missing
That's why you go away I know, yes I know…

Sitting here all alone in the middle of nowhere
Don't know which way to go
There ain't so much to say now between us
There ain't so much for you
There ain't so much for me anymore

Chorus
I won't forget the way you're kissing
The feeling's so strong were lasting for so long
But I'm not the man your heart is missing
That's why you go away I know  2X
