Lirik lagu ‘Rewrite the Stars’ (2018). Soundtrack film musikal The Greatest Showman (2017) versi James Arthur dan Anne-Marie.
Terlepas filmnya sudah 6 tahun lewat dan lagunya ini sudah 5 tahun lewat, namun siapa sangka kalau film dan soundtrack The Greatest Showman (mau yang versi orisinil maupun versi Reimagined), masih sangat bergaung hingga detik ini.
Dan lagu versi Reimagined yang akan kita bahas ini adalah salah satu buktinya.
Mengalahkan Versi Aslinya
Pernyataan tersebut bukanlah sekedar bukti atau omong kosong sama sekali. Pasalnya kalau kita rajin-rajin atau iseng-iseng ingin tahu lirik-lirik lagu apa saja yang sedang banyak dicari di Google Trends, terlihat banget bahwa hingga tulisan ini dibuat dan diunggah, lirik ‘Rewrite the Stars’ masih menjadi salah satu yang banyak dicari.
Alhasil gara-gara hal tersebut, maka bisa dikatakan kalau versi Reimagined Anne-Marie dan James Arthur ini ironisnya jauh lebih populer dari versi orisinilnya yang dibawakan oleh dua aktor filmnya, Zac Efron (Baywatch) dan Zendaya (Spider-Man: No Way Home).
Namun terlepas demikian, menurut gue pribadi kedua versinya sama-sama enak kok. Toh lirik lagu ‘Rewrite the Stars’ baik di versi orisinil maupun Reimagined juga sama saja.
Oke deh guys, setelah menyimak seluruh penjelasan tersebut, marilah kita sekarang dengar dan nyanyikan versi yang Anne-Marie dan James Arthur tersebut melalui lirik lagu Rewrite the Stars berikut ini.
Lirik Lagu Rewrite the Stars
Verse 1: James Arthur
You know I want you
It’s not a secret I try to hide
You know you want me
So don’t keep sayin’ our hands are tied
You claim it’s not in the cards
And fate is pullin’ you miles away and out of reach from me
But you’re here in my heart
So who can stop me if I decide that you’re my destiny?
Chorus 1: James Arthur
What if we rewrite the stars?
Say you were made to be mine
Nothin’ could keep us apart
You’d be the one I was meant to find
It’s up to you and it’s up to me
No one can say what we get to be
So why don’t we rewrite the stars?
Maybe the world could be ours
Tonight
Post-Chorus: James Arthur, Anne-Marie
Ah-oh (No, no, no, no)
Ah-oh (Mm)
Verse 2: Anne-Marie
You think it’s easy
You think I don’t wanna run to you, yeah
But there are mountains (There are mountains)
And there are doors that we can’t walk through
I know you’re wonderin’ why
Because we’re able to be just you and me within these walls
But when we go outside
You’re gonna wake up and see that it was hopeless after all
Chorus 2: Anne-Marie, James Arthur, Both
No one can rewrite the stars
How can you say you’ll be mine?
Everything keeps us apart
And I’m not the one you were meant to find (The one you were meant to find)
It’s not up to you, it’s not up to me (Yeah)
When everyone tells us what we can be
And how can we rewrite the stars?
Say that the world can be ours
Tonight
Bridge: Both, Anne-Marie, James Arthur
All I want is to fly with you
All I want is to fall with you
So just give me all of you
It feels impossible
It’s not impossible
Is it impossible?
Say that it’s possible
Chorus 3: Both, James Arthur
How do we rewrite the stars?
Say you were made to be mine
And nothin’ could keep us apart
‘Cause you are the one I was meant to find
It’s up to you and it’s up to me
No one could say what we get to be
And why don’t we rewrite the stars?
Changin’ the world to be ours
*balik ke post-chorus*
Outro: Anne-Marie
You know I want you
It’s not a secret I try to hide
But I can’t have you
We’re bound to break and my hands are tied
