masih inget kan sama cerita gue kalo gue ikutan DJ Hunt di salah satu radio Di Kota gue, nah udah satu bulan masa training, gue sama 4 temen gue harus ngikutin yg namanya EVALUASI akhir bulan. disini kita dituntut buat praktekin apa aja ilmu yg udah kita dapet selama satu bulan terakhir ini. tanpa teks, pasti. secara seorang announcer gitu, kerjaanya kan ga mesti kepaku sama script. memang ada waktunya, tp kan tuntutan buat ga kepaku sama script itu wajib so alhasil kami praktekin dah ilmu  ilmunya


yg bikin nervous itu, setiap anak harus tes satu persatu, bergiliran terus duduk sambil berhadapan langsung sama tiga AG (sebutan untuk announcer di radio tempat gue training) yg udah bisa dibilang tetuah di radio itu. maksudnya yg udah lama makan asam-garam di radio itu . nah, gue dapet giliran masuk nomer tiga, sesuai kayak nama gue TRI yg artinya tiga. smoga ini nomor keberuntungan gue. dan alhasil, gue masuk ruangan setelah dipanggil oleh temen gue, gue baca doa didepan pintu sebelum masuk dan,, bismillah, gue masuk


di dalam ruangan
gue : duduk
AG 1 : ok, tri. kita Evaluasi ya, nah disini ada dua kali kesempatan untuk memperbaiki nilai, kalau misalnya yg pertama jelek terus kamu ngulang, nah hasil dari kesempatan kedua itulah yg kami nilai
gue : oh iy kak
AG 2 : Ok, kita mulai ya, opening
gue : stay calm, take a deep breath, 101 FM..........................................................


gue keluar dengan muka merah, malu, gugup, semuanya campur aduk dah perasaan gue. tapi gue tetep yakin kalau itu semua yg terbaik yg gue punya buat hasilnya gue ga tau kayak gimana yg penting masih ada waktu untuk berbenah diri.


segitu aja ah cerita evaluasi gue, malu. banyak salahnya ketimbang benernya,, hihihih. smoga aja, mereka seneng sama apa yg udah gue pelajarin selama satu bulan ini. bisa dibilang ga satu bulan sih, soalny gue ijin ga ikut training selama dua minggu, gue sakit harus dirawat di rumah sakit yg ga enak banget. hmmmm, tapi biarpun kyk gitu begitu gue harus tetep tunjukin ke mereka kalau gue punya kemampuan, gue punya kemauan juga keseriusan untuk jadi seorang AG yg profesional... 

owl city...... belum lama sih gue seneng sama owl city. jujur awal denger, awal liat gue udah suka. tapi yg bikin bingung, ini grup band, solo, grup vokal atau apa sih,, nah daripada kalian bingung, postingan gue kali ini ngebahas tentang owl city... percuma aja kan kalau gue posting lirik-lirik lagunya kalau ga ada biografinya :))

Owl City merupakan proyek synthpop seorang Adam Young. Dibentuk awal 2007 di Owatonna, Minnesota, Amerika Serikat. Mulanya terganggu oleh insomnia, Young mulai menghabiskan malam di ruang bawah tanah rumahnyah, di mana sebuah komputer dan beberapa instrumen memberikan sambutan gara-gara pola tidur yang salah. Dia akhirnya menggabungkan dua aliran musik campuran antara electronica dan emo-pop, menggunakan komputer dan berbagai keyboard untuk merekam materi.
Owl City telah mencapai "Top Unsigned Artist" posisi di Myspace, setelah lebih dari total 10 juta memutar lagunya di situs tersebut. Owl City saat ini sudah bergabung dengan Universal Republic, dan sudah merilis album Ocean Eyes di iTunes 14 Juli 2009, dan kaset cdnya pada tanggal 28 Juli 2009. Single hitsnya yang terkenal 2009's "fireflies", yang pada Oktober 2009 mencapai # 1 di Billboard Hot 100 dan # 1 di UK Top 40 pada 24 Januari 2010.
Owl City telah merilis EP "Of June" pada tahun 2007; album "maybe i'm Dreaming" 2008; dan pada tahun 2009, album "Ocean Eyes" dirilis. Young mempertahankan dua side projectnyah Swimming With Dolphin, dan Port Blue.

The stars lean down to kiss you
And I lie awake and miss you
Pour me a heavy dose of atmosphere


'Cause I'll doze off safe and soundly
But I'll miss your arms around me
I'd send a postcard to you, dear
'Cause I wish you were here


I'll watch the night turn light-blue
But it's not the same without you
Because it takes two to whisper quietly


The silence isn't so bad
'Til I look at my hands and feel sad
'Cause the spaces between my fingers
Are right where yours fit perfectly


I'll find repose in new ways
Though I haven't slept in two days
'Cause cold nostalgia
Chills me to the bone


But drenched in vanilla twilight
I'll sit on the front porch all night
Waist-deep in thought because
When I think of you I don't feel so alone


I don't feel so alone, I don't feel so alone


As many times as I blink
I'll think of you tonight
I'll think of you tonight


When violet eyes get brighter
And heavy wings grow lighter
I'll taste the sky and feel alive again


And I'll forget the world that I knew
But I swear I won't forget you
Oh, if my voice could reach
Back through the past
I'd whisper in your ear
Oh darling, I wish you were here

If you’re the bird
Whenever we pretend it’s summer
Then I’m the worm
I know the part, it’s such a bummer

But fair is fair
If my segments get separated
I’ll scream
And you’ll be there

Close your eyes
(Close my eyes)
Slide the cotton off of your shoulders
And feel the shine
(Feel the shine)
I’m hooked so toss me over
And cast a line
(Well I’ll try)
I’ll throw a party and greet my undersea friends
(It depends)
As they arrive
(If they arrive)

You and I left our troubles far behind
But I still have just one more question on my mind
For all my pals who live in the oceans and the seas
With friends like these well,
Who needs enemies?

If I’m your boy
Let’s take a shortcut we remember
And we’ll enjoy
Picking apples in late September like
We’ve done for years
Then we’ll take a long walk
Through the cornfield
And I’ll kiss you
Between the ears

If you’re my girl
Swirl me around your room with feeling
And as we twirl
The glow in the dark stars on your ceiling
Will shine for us
As love sweeps over the room
Cause we tend to make
Each other blush
(Make me blush)

You and I left our troubles far behind
But I still have just one more question on my mind
For all my pals who live in the oceans and the seas
With fronds like these well,
Who needs en-enemies?

You’re the bird, I’m the worm
And it’s plain to see
That we were meant to be

We were meant to be
We were meant to be
(If you’re the bird,
If you’re the bird,
Then I’m the worm)
We were meant to be

Breathe and I'll carry you away into the velvet sky
And we'll stir the stars around
And watch them fall away into the Hudson Bay
And plummet out of sight and sound

The open summer breeze will sweep you through the hills
Where I live in the alpine heights
Below the Northern Lights, I spend my coldest nights
Alone, awake and thinking of the weekend we were in love

Home among these mountain tops can be so awfully dull
A thousand miles from the tide
But photos on the walls of New York shopping malls
Distract me so I stay inside

I wish the rockets stayed over the promenade
'Cause I would make a hook and eye
And fish them from the sky, my darling, she and I
We're hanging on so take us high to sing the world goodbye

I am floating away, lost in a silent ballet
I'm dreaming you're out in the blue and I am right beside you
Awake to take in the view
Late nights and early parades, still photos and noisy arcades
My darling, we're both on the wing
Look down and keep on singing and we can go anywhere

Are you there?
Are you there or are you just a decoy dream in my head?
Am I home or am I simply tumbling all alone?

I am floating away, lost in a silent ballet
I'm dreaming you're out in the blue and I am right beside you
Awake to take in the view
Late nights and early parades, still photos and noisy arcades
My darling, we're both on the wing
Look down and keep on singing and we can go anywhere

Are you there?
Are you there?
