FOKUSKINI – Situasi runyam di tahapan kampanye Pemilihan Umum Presiden Indonesia 2019 (Pilpres 2019), siapapun pengguna aplikasi media sosial paling mengalami sensasi hebohnya, dan pada bagian efektivitas saling serang nyinyiran dari salah satu kubu mereka seringkali memakai vonis perkataan panik, atau artinya menurut Kamus Besar Bahasa Indonesia (KBBI) adalah bingung, gugup, atau dalam ketakutan mendadak (sehingga tidak dapat berpikir dengan tenang).
Namun ini samasekali bukan berkeinginan membahas kegaduhan di medsos lantaran dosa para politisi, justru koq malah menoleh aktualitas Panic! At The Disco dengan vokalis Brendon Urie sebagai satu-satunya sosok asli yang tersisa pada kelompok musik asal Las Vegas, negara bagian Nevada, Amerika Serikat — oleh sebab singelnya bertajuk High Hopes dari muatan album teranyar Pray for the Wicked, belum tergoyahkan di Posisi 6 pada tangga puncak Billboard hingga akhir pekan awal Januari 2019. Menjadi catatan gemilang Panic! At The Disco untuk yang kedua kalinya sejak popularitas singel I Write Sins Not Tragedies rilisan tahun 2006 lalu.
Dua penguasa puncak tangga, jelas jangan heran kalau masih diduduki Thank U, Next (Ariana Grande) dan Without Me nyanyiannya penyanyi pop-elektro, Halsey.
Fantasi berjalan menapaki gedung pencakar langit yang menarik perhatian publik di tayangan video musiknya, isian lirik lagu yang dinyanyikan Brendon Urie menggaungkan optimistik harapan setinggi-tingginya hingga kemungkinan melewati akal sehat. Tetap semangat!
Had to have high, high hopes for a living
Shooting for the stars when I couldn’t make a killing
Didn’t have a dime but I always had a vision
Always had high, high hopes
Had to have high, high hopes for a living
Didn’t know how but I always had a feeling
I was gonna be that one in a million
Always had high, high hopesMama said
Fulfill the prophecy
Be something greater
Go make a legacy
Manifest destiny
Back in the days
We wanted everything, wanted everything
Mama said
Burn your biographies
Rewrite your history
Light up your wildest dreams
Museum victories, everyday
We wanted everything, wanted everythingMama said don’t give up, it’s a little complicated
All tied up, no more love and I’d hate to see you waitingHad to have high, high hopes for a living
Shooting for the stars when I couldn’t make a killing
Didn’t have a dime but I always had a vision
Always had high, high hopes
Had to have high, high hopes for a living
Didn’t know how but I always had a feeling
I was gonna be that one in a million
Always had high, high hopesMama said
It’s uphill for oddities
The stranger crusaders
Ain’t ever wannabes
The weird and the novelties
Don’t ever change
We wanted everything, wanted everythingStay up on that rise
Stay up on that rise and never come down
Stay up on that rise
Stay up on that rise and never come downMama said don’t give up, it’s a little complicated
All tied up, no more love and I’d hate to see you waiting
They say it’s all been done but they haven’t seen the best of me
So I got one more run and it’s gonna be a sight to seeHad to have high, high hopes for a living
Shooting for the stars when I couldn’t make a killing
Didn’t have a dime but I always had a vision
Always had high, high hopesHad to have high, high hopes for a living
Didn’t know how but I always had a feeling
I was gonna be that one in a million
Always had high, high hopes
Had to have high, high hopes for a living
Shooting for the stars when I couldn’t make a killing
Didn’t have a dime but I always had a vision
Always had high, high hopes
Had to have high, high hopes for a living
Didn’t know how but I always had a feeling
I was gonna be that one in a million
Always had high, high hopes
Disayangkan, konser tur promo album Pray for the Wicked pada Januari hingga Maret nanti selain hanya berlangsung di kawasan Amerika Serikat, ternyata cuma berujung tuntas di London, Inggris atau tepatnya di O2 Arena, London pada 28 Maret mendatang. (billboard/jos)
