JAKARTA – Dijon, seorang penyanyi yang terkenal dengan pendekatan jujur dalam penulisan lagu, kembali dengan lagu yang menggigit, “The Dress.” Lagu ini, yang terdapat dalam albumnya “Absolutely,” dirilis pada November 2021, dan telah menarik perhatian banyak pendengar dengan liriknya yang penuh dengan nostalgia dan refleksi.
“The Dress” adalah sebuah balada yang menggambarkan kompleksitas hubungan yang berlangsung lama. Dijon menggambarkan momen-momen kebersamaan yang indah dan juga rasa penyesalan yang terkait dengan hubungan yang pernah ada. Melodi yang lembut dan lirik yang mendalam membuat lagu ini terasa seperti foto lama yang meski sudah pudar di pinggir, tetap berwarna-warni di tengah, di mana yang paling penting.
[Verse 1]
G
Do you still take a
C
long time to get
ready?
G
‘Cause you used to
C
make too much out
of that kind of
stuff
D
When you turn your
head around and it
C
kills
D
‘Cause the dress looks
C
nice on you still
And it always will
G
I wait a long time
C
just to see you
Em
I’m happy to be
catchin’ up
C
No, we don’t have to
patch things up
D
Just turn the lights
C
down, the thrill
D
‘Cause the dress looks
C
nice on you still
D
And it always will, so
[Chorus]
Em Am
We should go out and
Bm C
dance like we used to
dance
Em Am
We should go out and
Bm C
hold hands like
lovers hold hands
Em Am
And I can’t tell you
Bm C
who’s gonna last
F
Well maybe that’s the
Em
question, an answer I
Bm C
don’t have
D
(I can’t tell)
[Verse 2]
G
Okay, I took a long
C
time to get ready
too
G
‘Cause I didn’t
remember that my
C
hair got heavy
like it tends to
do
D
And I know that ain’t
C
part of the deal
D
But the dress looks
C
nice on you still
And it always will
G
I hated myself for
C
some time
Em
For the things that I
C
said, the things that
I put in your head
D
And I tried and I
C
tried and I failed
D
But the dress looks
C
nice on you still
D
And it always will, so
[Chorus]
Em Am
We should go out and
Bm
dance like we used to
C
dance
Em Am
We should go out and
Bm
hold hands like
C
lovers hold hands
Em Am
And I can’t tell you
Bm C
who’s gonna last
F Em
Well maybe that’s the
Bm C
question, an answer I
don’t have
F Em
Well maybe that’s the
Bm C
question, an answer I
don’t have
Em Am
We should go out and
Bm C
dance like we used to
dance
Em Am
We should go out and
Bm C
hold hands like
lovers hold hands
Em
And I can’t tell you
Am Bm C
who’s gonna last
F Em
Well maybe that’s the
Bm C
question, an answer
I don’t have
F Em
Well maybe that’s the
Bm C
question, an answer
I don’t have
(We should go out
Said we should go out)
