Inilah lirik lagu ‘Photograph’ (2005). Lagu hit milik Nickelback yang memiliki banyak variasi meme. Pasti tahu deh!
Pada awal dekade 2000an, grup Rock asal Kanada, Nickelback, bergaung kencang. Lagu-lagu awalnya seperti: ‘How You Remind Me’ (2001), ‘Someday’ (2003), dan tentunya ‘Photograph’ (2005), menjadi hit dimana-mana.
Bahkan khusus untuk ‘Photograph,’ lagunya dalam beberapa tahun terakhir menjadi meme di rana internet. Spesifiknya yang menjadi meme adalah adegan pembuka video klipnya.
“Look at This Graph”
Dalam adegan pembukanya, kita melihat vokalisnya, Chad Kroeger yang memperlihatkan bingkai foto dirinya dengan produser band-nya, Joey Moi. Ketika memperlihatkannya, Chad menyanyikan lirik pembukanya, “Look at This Photograph.”
Nah ketika meme internet menjadi tren banget, siapa sangka kalau adegan dan lirik pembukanya ini menjadi inspirasi meme-nya?
Ya dengan kreativitas warganet dan meme master, merek meng-edit bingkai di klipnya dengan berbagai foto. Nah biasanya sih fotonya diganti dengan grafik batang dari sebuah perusahaan.
Oleh karenanya gak heran jika kemudian liriknya pun mereka edit ulang dengan memotong atau mem-freeze kata “photo” sehingga liriknya pun menjadi, “Look at this Graph.”
Dan gokilnya Kroeger cs tidak keberatan dengan meme-nya. Mereka malah ikut tertawa bersama dengan seluruh meme-nya. Wah salut nih! Band yang gak baper nan sensitif. Oke deh guys setelah kita mengetahui semuanya ini, sekarang mari kita nyanyikan lagunya melalui lirik lagu ‘Photograph’ milik Nickelback berikut ini.
Lirik Lagu Photograph
Verse 1:
Look at this photograph
Every time I do, it makes me laugh
How did our eyes get so red?
And what the hell is on Joey’s head?
And this is where I grew up
I think the present owner fixed it up
I never knew we ever went without
The second floor is hard for sneaking out
And this is where I went to school
Most of the time had better things to do
Criminal record says I broke in twice
I must’ve done it half a dozen times I wonder if it’s too late
Should I go back and try to graduate?
Life’s better now than it was back then
If I was them, I wouldn’t let me in
Pre-Chorus:
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, God, I, I
Chorus:
Every memory of looking out the back door
I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
It’s hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye
Every memory of walking out the front door
I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for
It’s hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye
(Goodbye)
Verse 2:
Remember the old arcade?
Blew every dollar that we ever made
The cops hated us hangin’ out
They say somebody went and burned it down
We used to listen to the radio
And sing along with every song we know
We said someday we’d find out how it feels
To sing to more than just the steering wheel
Kim’s the first girl I kissed
I was so nervous that I nearly missed
She’s had a couple of kids since then
I haven’t seen her since God knows when
*balik ke pre-chorus*
*balik ke chorus*
Bridge:
I miss that town
I miss their faces
You can’t erase
You can’t replace it
I miss it now
I can’t believe it
So hard to stay
Too hard to leave it
If I could relive those days
I know the one thing that would never change
*balik ke chorus*
Outro:
Look at this photograph
Every time I do, it makes me laugh
Every time I do, it makes me
