Kisah di Balik Lagu I Don't Want to Miss a Thing Milik Aerosmith: Ternyata Hampir Dinyanyikan Celine Dion dan U2

SEAToday.com, Boston – Merdunya suara vokalis Aerosmith Steven Tyler bisa didengarkan lewat tembang manis milik band rock asal Boston, Amerika Serikat berjudul “I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing”. Lagu ini sangat populer selain dibawakan oleh Aerosmith juga jadi soundtrack film Armageddon tahun 1998.
Lagu manis ini tak diciptakan oleh member Aerosmith. Adalah Diane Warren. Warren terinspirasi menulis lagu tersebut dari hasil wawancara sebuah media dengan James Brolin. Dalam wawancara itu Brolin menyinggung perihal hubungan percintaannya dengan Barbra Streisand. Ada momen dimana Brolin sangat rindu dengan wanita tersebut.
Dalam sebuah wawancaranya, Warren mengatakan lagu “I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing” terkait suara hati perempuan. Memang ada rasa rindu seorang wanita dengan kekasihnya. Saat menawarkan kepada Tyler dan kawan-kawan, Aerosmith langsung bersedia menyanyikannya.
Sebenarnya lagu itu sempat terpikirkan Warren akan diberikan kepada grup band asal Irlandia, U2. Namun tak jadi entah karena alasan apa. Bahkan selain untuk U2 lagu ini sempata kan diberikan kepada Celine Dion.
Tapi jodohnya ada kepada Aerosmith yang setelah dinyanyikan malah merajai posisi puncak tangga lagu dunia. Warren sebagai pencipta lagu mengucapkan terima kasih kepada Aerosmith dan banyak orang yang terlibat dalam prosesnya.
Ketika Aerosmith merekam lagu tersebut, band itu sedang sibuk jalani konser dan belum istirahat. Sang gitaris Joe Perry mengenang momen saat ditawari untuk merekam soundtrack Armageddon. Menolak bukan pilihan dan mereka langsung merekam di studio
Berkah lagu itu Aerosmith pun menjadi salah satu band rock terbesar yang pernah ada dalam dunia musik internasional. Lagu ini semakin spesial bagi Steven Tyler karena sang putri, Liv Tyler ikut berakting dalam film Armageddon. Berikut lirik lagu “I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing”:
I could stay awake just to hear you breathing
Watch you smile while you are sleeping
While you're far away and dreaming
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender
I could stay lost in this moment forever
Where a moment spent with you is a moment I treasure
Don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna to fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you (even when I dream)
The sweetest dream would never do
I'd still miss you baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
Lying close to you, feeling your heart beating
And I'm wondering what you're dreaming
Wondering if it's me you're seeing
Then I kiss your eyes
And thank God we're together
And I just wanna stay with you in this moment forever
Forever and ever
I don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna to fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you (even when I dream)
The sweetest dream will never do
I'd still miss you baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
I don't wanna miss one smile
And I don't wanna miss one kiss
And I just wanna be with you
Right here with you, just like this
And I just wanna hold you close
I feel your heart so close to mine
And just stay here in this moment
For all the rest of time
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Don't wanna close my eyes
Don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you (even when I dream)
The sweetest dream would never do
I'd still miss you baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
I don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream would never do
I'd still miss you baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
Don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna fall asleep, yeah
And I don't wanna miss a thing
