HOLOPIS.COM, JAKARTA – Lagu “Fine on the Outside” karya penyanyi dan penulis lagu Amerika, Priscilla Ahn, telah mencuri perhatian para pendengar sejak dirilis. Lagu yang awalnya ditulis sebagai curahan hati Priscilla ini menjadi populer setelah digunakan sebagai lagu tema film animasi terkenal, When Marnie Was There (2014) dari Studio Ghibli. Dengan suara lembut dan lirik yang puitis, Ahn berhasil menangkap rasa kesepian dan keterasingan yang dirasakan banyak orang di era modern ini.
Dalam “Fine on the Outside,” Priscilla menceritakan kisah pribadi tentang perasaan isolasi yang ia rasakan selama masa kecil dan remaja. Melalui liriknya, ia mengungkapkan bahwa meskipun terlihat “baik-baik saja” dari luar, perasaan kosong dan ketidaknyamanan terus menghantuinya. Hal ini dapat menyentuh banyak pendengar, terutama mereka yang mungkin merasakan tekanan untuk tampak “sempurna” di mata orang lain, namun sebenarnya berjuang dengan perasaan kesendirian.
