Listening for the Weather

Love Bic Runga! Yay! First time dengar lagu Bic masa tengok filem 'American Pie' (Oopsss...) Nyanyian Bic untuk lagu 'Sway' yang mendayu-dayu dengan susunan vokal yang mantap dan ada accent New Zealand sangat nice untuk didengar. Sampai sekarang ni pun, Sway merupakan salah satu lagu all-time 'paberet' aku. "Sway my way...yeah I need to know...." Bic (cara sebutan: Bec) mempunyai galur Maori (father) dan Malaysian Chinese (mother), yang membuatkan beliau begitu unik. Ibunya merupakan seorang penyanyi lounge sebelum berkahwin dengan Joseph Runga. Dan dua orang adik beradiknya juga merupakan penyanyi.

Bic mula menempah nama dalam arena antarabangsa melalui lagu Sway (dah cakap kat atas tu) dari filem AP. Apa yang paling best pada produk Bic ialah lagu yang slow dan mendayu-dayu dengan penataan muzik dan lirik yang simple tapi bermakna (macam kebanyakan lagu Indonesia-lah kan?).

Title: Listening for the Weather
Written by: Bic Runga
Performed by: Bic Runga

So I'm listening for the weather to predict the coming day
Leave all thought of expectation to the weather man
No it doesn't really matter what it is he has to say
'Cause tomorrows keep on blowing in from somewhere

All the people that I know in the apartments down below
Busy with their starring roles in their own tragedies
Sunlight sends you on your way
And those restless thoughts that cling to yesterday
Never be afraid of change

I'll call you on the phone
I hate to leave you on your own
But I'm coming home today

And this busy inner city
Has got nothing much to say
And I know how much you're hanging round the letterbox
And I'm sure that as I'm writing
You'll be somewhere on your way
In a supermarket checkout or the restaurant

I've been doing what I'm told
I've been busy growing old
And the days are getting cold but that's alright with me
Sunlight sends you on your way

And those restless thoughts that cling to yesterday
Never be afraid of change

I'll call you on the phone
I hate to leave you on your own
But I'm coming home today
Yes I'm coming home today

I've been doing what I'm told
I've been busy growing old
And the days are getting cold but that's alright with me
Sunlight sends you on your way
And those restless thoughts that cling to yesterday
Never be afraid of change
