De nieuwe single Choir van Australische superster Guy Sebastian mag dan klinken als een vrolijk popliedje, maar schijn bedriegt! Er schuilt namelijk een ontzettend emotioneel verhaal achter de opvolger van Before I Go. En Guy wil er ook nog mee aanzetten tot actie..
Bitterzoete herinneringen
In het eerste couplet van Choir kijkt Guy Sebastian terug op crazy times in Las Vegas. Er lijkt nog geen vuiltje aan de lucht:
I know it’s weird to say this
But I’ve been thinking ’bout it lately
Reminiscing about us in Vegas
Drinking like we’re famous
Man those days were crazy
Maar dan kun je lezen dat deze mooie tijd voorbij is en dat Guy ergens spijt van heeft..
But your book ran of pages
And now I wish I never waited
To tell you out of all the moments in my life
The ones I got to share with you
Were probably my favourite
In een eigen YouTube video vertelt Guy dat dit liedje over bandlid Luke Liang gaat, die vorig jaar op 28-jarige leeftijd overleed aan de gevolgen van mentale gezondheidsproblemen.
In de video licht Guy toe:
“It was very unexpected. (…) It was very hard to process, and it still is. Luke and I, we did a lot together. We travelled together, we played together. He was in my band. (…) We toured Europe together for example. Just me and Luke on stage every night.”
I know you’re looking down on us
I’m missing you bro
I hope you’re proud of us
At least I know you made it home
And I know you’re not alone
Vrolijk refrein
In een interview met 60 Minutes Australia vertelt Guy waarom hij het liedje met zo’n beladen onderwerp wel een vrolijk klinkend refrein gaf:
“When I started writing this song, I wanted it to be something that reflected him [Luke, red.]. So I wanted it to be fun. But I also wanted to get across the fact that he is not alone anymore.”
Cause now you’re singing with a choir
Now you’re dancing with a crew
You ain’t doing this solo
We all ridin’ with you
Ook maakt Guy met een duidelijke reden een referentie naar een koor:
“Even though he might have felt alone, especially in those last moments. He’s now singing with a choir”.
Friendly reminder
Naast dat dit liedje een ode is aan zijn goede vriend Luke, wil Guy Sebastian zijn luisteraars ook aan het denken zetten:
Yeah, yeah we fill up all our days with
Workin’ and grindin’ just to make ends meet
Too busy to call we’ll catch up next week
And then it gets to next week
And we say maybe next week
And then before you know
We all feeling old
Asking ourselves
Where did my friends go
So don’t wait till they go home
De Australische zanger wil mensen stimuleren om vaker aan dierbaren te laten weten dat ze gewaardeerd worden:
“I wrote this as a reminder to not let this crazy world stop us from being there for one another. We just don’t know what the people around us are going through, so let’s spread as much love as we can”.
Tranen met tuiten
Na het vrolijk klinkende refrein komt een emotioneel beladen bridge die Guy maar blijft raken:
“It’s gonna be pretty hard to sing this live, to be honest. (…) I sat down to write this bridge and I just started to bowl my eyes out.”
Someday I know my friend
I’m gonna see you again
And when I do you better have a part for me
You sing the melody
And I’ll take the harmony
Guy denkt in deze passage na over de volgende keer dat hij Luke weer zal zien. Hij wil nog één keer met hem jammen, maar dan wil hij wel de rollen omdraaien: Guy neemt dan de melodie op zich zodat zijn vriend een keer in de spotlight kan staan.
Cause we ain’t done making music yet
We got some more soundchecks
And this time we gonna have about a million voices
Singing, dancing
Party in your mansion
Choir – Guy Sebastian
Guy Sebastian sluit Choir af met een gevoel van acceptatie: zijn vriend is nu op een betere plek. In de YouTube video beschrijft hij deze plek als volgt:
“That’s where I reckon he is: in a pimp mansion watching Star Trek haha.”
Spread the love
Om iedereen te stimuleren om er meer voor elkaar te zijn, heeft Guy Sebastian een project op gezet genaamd Ridin’ With You. Je kunt op deze website een foto uploaden van diegene in jouw leven die jij heel erg waardeert. Spread the love!
