Blood on Blood (Bon Jovi-New Jersey)

Album New Jersey dari Bon Jovi yang keluar sekitar tahun 1988-1989 begitu berpengaruh bagi saya. Saat itu masih SMP, dari album itulah saya kenal lagu "Living in Sin" tentang kisah cinta yang tidak di restui orang tua (theme song buat love story waktu muda hehehe), dan tentu saja lagu Blood on blood tentang persahabatan 3 orang (Jovi, Daddy dan Bobby) yang bisa saja cerita tersebut sebuah fiksi sebagaimana lagu lainnya.

Lagu blood on blood ini kalau saya dengar langsung saja saya teringat si Fazar Denay dan Chokim, karena dua orang inilah yang harus bertanggung jawab meracuni saya dgn musik rock hahahaha. Selain itu mereka berdua ini teman yang paling akrab dengan saya. Love you guys, always hehehehe

Saya tumbuh besar dalam semangat lagu-lagu Bon Jovi hingga saat ini. Saya tidak hafal semua liriknya, namun musik rock akhir 80-an seperti Bon Jovi tetap lekat hingga sekarang.

video dan lirik dari Blood on Blood:





I can still remember
When I was just a kid
When friends were friends forever
And what you said was what you did

Well, it was me and Daddy and Bobby
We cut each other's hands
And held tight to a promise
Only brothers understand

But we were so young (so young)
One for all and all for one (for one)
Just as sure as the river's gonna run

Blood on blood
One on one
We'd still be standing
When all was said and done
Blood on blood
One on one
And I'll be here for you
Till Kingdom come
Blood on blood

Well, Bobby was our hero
Cause he hed a fake I.D.
I got busted stealing cigarettes
And he took the rap for me

Danny knew this white trash girl
We each threw in a ten
She took us to this cheap motel
And turned us into men

We were so young (so young)
One for all and all for one (for one)
Just as sure as the river's gonna run

Blood on blood
One on one
We'd still be standing
When all is said and done
Blood on blood
One on one
And I'll be here for you
Till Kingdom come
Blood on blood

[Solo]

Now Bobby, he's an uptown lawyer
Danny, he's a medicine man
And me, I'm just the singer
In a long haired rock'n'roll band

Through the years and miles between us
It's been a long and lonely ride
But if I got a call in the dead of the night
I'd be right by your side

Blood on blood, blood on blood
(just like blood on blood, coz we are brothers)

Blood on blood
One on one
We'd still be standing
When all is said and done
Blood on blood
One on one
And I'll be here for you
Till Kingdom come
Blood on blood

Blood on blood

dari teks lagu ini sudah tergambar jelas persahabatan mereka, lirik yang paling menyentuh adalah:
Through the years and miles between us
It's been a long and lonely ride
But if I got a call in the dead of the night
I'd be right by your side


teks ini begitu kuat dan seakan menjadi janji yang terus terucapkan. :)
terbawa emosi lagu ini dan banyaknya kenangan yang berserak dari SMP hingga saat ini, tak jarang membuat saya menitikkan air mata haru saat menikmati lagu ini.

Untuk teman-teman SMP 243 Cipinang Jaya (1988-1991), biar bagaimanapun kenangan yg ada begitu berharga untuk dilupakan, masa lalu mungkin tidak cemerlang, namun itu adalah bagian dari perjalanan hidup yang patut diterima, ditelaah dan diambil hikmahnya. :)
