SEAToday.com, Dublin – Pada awal tahun 1990-an Irlandia bukanlah negara yang menghasilan musisi top dunia. Namun ketika grup musik The Cranberries muncul dengan lagu “Dreams” semua penikmat musik menoleh ke Irlandia, sebuah negara di Eropa tempat asal band alternatif tersebut.

Lagu “Dreams” dirilis The Cranberries pada tahun 1992. “Dreams” adalah lagu dalam album pertama “Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can’t We?. Meledaknya lagu “Dreams” membuat penghargaan satu per satu didapatkan oleh The Cranberries, seperti masuk tangga lagu Top 15 di US Billboard Hot 100 Airplay dan Top 30 di tangga lagu Britania Raya.

Sejumlah fakta menarik tentang “Dreams” akhirnya terkuak. Lagu ini ditulis oleh Dolores. Sebuah lirik yang manis, sederhana, tapi tak murahan atau menye-menye. Lagu ini terdengar elegan karena suara Dolores ditambah petikan intro gitar yang abadi sampai sekarang dan selamanya.

Sebenarnya backing vocal lagu “Dreams” saat rekaman dinyanyikan oleh Mike Mahoney yang merupakan mantan pacar Dolores. Mungkinkan “Dreams” adalah wujud cinta Dolores kepada Mike?  Lagu ini mengisahkan cerita seseorang yang membuka hati untuk bisa mencintai orang lain dan berharap orang tersebut tak akan melukai perasaannya.

Siapa sangka dari harapan seorang Dolores sebagai pencipta lagu malah membuka kesuksesan The Cranberries pada masanya. “Dreams” memang bukan satu-satunya lagu tersukses yang dimiliki band ini. Masih ada beberapa lagu lain salah satunya “Zombie” yang dari tema lagu berbanding terbalik dari “Dreams”.

Dolores meninggal dunia pada tahun 2018 lalu. Ia ditemukan tak bernyawa di kamar hotelnya di London, Inggris. Dalam hasil identifikasi dinyatakan ia tenggelam di bak mandi kamar hotel dan meninggal dalam usia 46 tahun. Tak ditemukan tanda cedera hingga bukti melukai diri sendiri.

Buat kamu yang memang mau menyanyikan lagu “Dreams” sembari mengenang kesuksesan mendiang Dolores, berikut lirik lagu “Dreams” yang sampai sekarang masih related dengan kehidupan percintaan anak muda.

 

Oh, my life is changing everyday

In every possible way
And oh, my dreams
It's never quite as it seems
Never quite as it seems

I know I felt like this before
But now I'm feeling it even more
Because it came from you
Then I open up and see
The person falling here is me
A different way to be

Aah, la-ah-la-ah
La-la-la
La-ah-la-ah

I want more, impossible to ignore
Impossible to ignore
And they'll come true

Impossible not to do
Possible not to do

And now I tell you openly
You have my heart so don't hurt me
You're what I couldn't find
A totally amazing mind
So understanding and so kind
You're everything to me

Oh, my life is changing everyday
In every possible way
And oh, my dreams
It's never quite as it seems
'Cause you're a dream to me
Dream to me
