Butterfly Kisses

    Tiga tahun belakangan saya suka banget sama lagu Butterfly Kisses-nya Bob Carlisle. Kalo lagi konsen dengerin suka sampe pengen nangis. Because! Gatau deh, mungkin inilah kekuatan penyanyi country ya, they sing with all their heart, and they're honest about what they're feeling.

    Lagu ini tentang perasaan seorang ayah pada anak perempuannya, betapa si ayah sayang sama si anak bersyukur pada tuhan punya anak perempuan. Also the father remembering every little precious moment with his daughter when she's growing up till now she's gonna be someone's bride.

    Dan yang paling diinget sama si ayah adalah butterfly kisses setiap mau tidur. Butterfly kisses itu kayak kissing someone in the cheek with our eyelashes. So sweet lah. Jadi inget cerita Tika Bisono yang putrinya meninggal karena DBD, she used to gave butterfly kisses too before goodnight sleep.

     Ups, jadi kemana-mana topiknya :D

    Anyhow, it's a very touching song. Memberi perspektif tentang gimana perasaan seorang ayah ke anak perempuannya dalam setiap fase kehidupan si anak. You know fathers well, mine actually can't express their feeling very well, maybe in their actions but not so much in words. So, think of this song as your father feeling.

Definetely a must listen for a bride to be! Terutama bagian ini..

She'll change her name today. She'll make a promise, and I'll give her away. Standing in the bride room just staring at her. She asked me what I'm thinking, and I said

      "I'm not sure, I just feel like I'm losing my baby girl."

Then she leaned over... and gave me... butterfly kisses, with her mama there sticking little white flowers all up in her hair.

      "walk me down the aisle daddy, it's just about time"

      "does my wedding gown look pretty daddy?"

      "daddy don't cry"

With all that I've done wrong, I must have done something right

to deserve her love every morning,and butterfly kisses

I know I've gotta let her go, but i'll always remember every hug in the morning, and butterfly kisses...

Or you know, whenever you want a good cry. haha

Bob and his daughter Brooke

Trivia: Bob Carlisle menulis lagu ini saat anaknya berusia 16 tahun. Mr. Carlisle sedang merapikan foto-foto lama dan melihat foto anaknya, perasaannya tergugah dan menulis lagu ini. Lagu ini awalnya tidak ditujukan untuk publik.
Hanya direkam di kaset, dan anaknya, Brooke membawa kaset ini kemanapun dia pergi seperti jimat keberuntungan.
Pada saat dirilis ke publik tahun 1997, lagu ini menjadi hit dan merajai chart lagu.
