Man of The Hour

Nama blog ini, jujur saja, terinspirasikan dari film "The Big Fish" dari Tim Burton (2003). Film ini sebetulnya tidak terlalu istimewa, hanya saja karakter tokoh utama film ini, Edward Bloom, sangat langka dan belum pernah saya temui di film-film lain yang pernah saya lihat. Keistimewaan film ini saya kira juga ada pada kesederhanaannya dalam bercerita.

Berikut adalah lirik salah satu soundtrack dari The Big Fish, dari Pearl Jam.

Man Of The Hour

Tidal waves don't beg forgiveness
Crashed and on their way
Father he enjoyed collisions; others walked away
A snowflake falls in may.
And the doors are open now as the bells are ringing out
Cause the man of the hour is taking his final bow
Goodbye for now.

Nature has its own religion; gospel from the land
Father ruled by long division, young men they pretend
Old men comprehend.

And the sky breaks at dawn; shedding light upon this town
They'll all come ‘round
Cause the man of the hour is taking his final bow
G'bye for now.

And the road
The old man paved
The broken seems along the way
The rusted signs, left just for me
He was guiding me, love, his own way
Now the man of the hour is taking his final bow
As the curtain comes down
I feel that this is just g'bye for now
