Lirik lagu "Faith" oleh George Michael

Jakarta PinangRaya - Penyanyi dan penulis lagu asal Inggris George Michael merilis lagu "Faith" dari album solo debutnya nan berjudul sama, "Faith", pada 1987, setelah duo vokal Wham! nan dianggotai olehnya bercempera pada 1986.

Proses rekaman lagu "Faith" diawali oleh beragam lapisan bunyi instrumen dan vokal terlebih dahulu, baru kemudian Michael menulis liriknya untuk mengisi bagian-bagian nan kosong sepotong demi sepotong, dan spontan.

Alasan George melakukan seperti itu lantaran dia terinspirasi oleh kompleksitas bunyi Prince Nelson dalam lagu-lagu nan dia rekam, nan membikin Prince terdengar geram tetapi vokalnya condong kering dan agresif.

Agar vokal Michael pun bisa terdengar jauh lebih kompleks dari saat dia tetap menyanyi dalam duo Wham!, dia membikin lagu "Faith" semakin menjauh dari kesan balada pop semata.

Meski lirik lagu tersebut merupakan refleksi angan dan optimisme seseorang saat bakal memulai perjalanan cinta nan baru.

Lirik lagu "Faith" sebagai berikut:

Well I guess it would be nice

If I could touch your body

I know not everybody

Has comberan a body like you

But I've comberan to think twice

Before I give my heart away

And I know all the games you play

Because I play them too

Oh but I

Need some time off from that emotion

Time to pick my heart up off the floor

Oh when that love comes down

Without devotion

Well it takes a strong man baby

But I'm showing you the door

‘Cause I gotta have faith

I gotta have faith

‘Cause I gotta have faith, faith

‘Cause I gotta have faith, faith, faith

Baby,

I know you're asking me to stay

Say please, please, please don't go away

You say I'm giving you the blues

Maybe

You mean every word you say

Can't help but think of yesterday

And another who tied me down to loverboy rules

Before this river

Becomes an ocean

Before you throw my heart back on the floor

Oh oh baby I reconsider

My foolish notion

Well I need someone to hold me

But I'll wait for something more

Yes I've gotta have faith…

Mmm, I gotta have faith

‘Cause I gotta have faith, faith, faith

I gotta have faith-a-faith-a-faith

Before this river

Becomes an ocean

Before you throw my heart back on the floor

Oh oh baby I reconsider

My foolish notion

Well I need someone to hold me

But I'll wait for something more

Cause I gotta have faith

Mmm I gotta have faith

Because I comberan to have faith-a-faith-a-faith
