SEAToday.com, Jakarta - "Friday I'm in Love" merupakan salah satu lagu hits di era 90an dari salah satu band legendaris asal Inggris.

The Cure merupakan salah satu band legendaris yang berasal dari Crawley, Sussex timur, Inggris.

‘Friday I’m in Love’ merupakan salah satu lagu dari album mereka yang berjudul ‘Wish’. Album tersebut dirilis pada 21 April 1992, sementara lagu ini rilis pada 15 Mei 1992 yang ternyata bertepatan juga di hari Jumat.

"Friday I'm in Love" dikenal dengan melodi yang ceria dan lirik yang optimis, berbeda dari tema-tema gelap yang sering diusung oleh The Cure.

Lagu ini menjadi salah satu hits terbesar mereka dan menduduki puncak tangga lagu di berbagai negara.

Liriknya yang sederhana namun menawan menceritakan tentang kegembiraan yang dirasakan seseorang setiap hari Jumat, menandai akhir pekan yang penuh harapan dan kebahagiaan.

Pesan positif ini telah menyentuh banyak hati, membuat lagu ini tetap relevan dan dicintai hingga saat ini.

Sang Vokalis, Robert Smith menceritakan bahwa lagu ini dibuat pada hari yang ada di judul lagu tersebut, yakni hari Jumat, setelah ia dalam perjalanan pulang untuk memulai rehat akhir pekannya.

Ia juga bercerita bahwa awalnya lagu ini hanya berjudul "Friday", hingga akhir ia berpikir "kenapa saya tidak membuat lagu yang sederhana agar orang-orang yang pergi bekerja atau anak-anak muda yang belajar di sekolah semakin antusias dalam menyambut hari Jumat".

"Friday I'm in Love" bukan hanya sekadar lagu populer, tetapi juga simbol dari kebangkitan dan keberagaman emosi manusia. 

Dalam sebuah wawancara, Smith mengatakan bahwa lagu ini sebagai lagu pop "bodoh" karena meski bagus, tetapi tidak masuk akal. 

Lagu ini bercerita tentang seorang pria yang jatuh cinta dengan seorang wanita. Ia bertemu wanita tersebut pada hari Jumat.

Cerita ini pun diambil dari kisah Smith sendiri di mana ia sedang jatuh cinta pada seorang wanita dan ia selalu bertemu wanita tersebut pada hari Jumat.

Buat SEAtizens yang ingin sing along lagu ini, berikut lirik lagu "Friday I'm in Love" dari The Cure.

I don't care if Monday's blue

Tuesday's gray and Wednesday too

Thursday I don't care about you

It's Friday, I'm in love

Monday you can fall apart

Tuesday, Wednesday, break my heart

Oh, Thursday doesn't even start

It's Friday, I'm in love

 

Saturday wait

And Sunday always comes too late

But Friday never hesitate

 

I don't care if Monday's black

Tuesday, Wednesday, heart attack

Thursday never looking back

It's Friday, I'm in love

 

Monday you can hold your head

Tuesday, Wednesday, stay in bed

Or Thursday watch the walls instead

It's Friday, I'm in love

 

Saturday wait

And Sunday always comes too late

But Friday never hesitate

 

Dressed up to the eyes

It's a wonderful surprise

To see your shoes and your spirits rise

Throwing out your frown

And just smiling at the sound

And as sleek as a shriek spinning 'round and 'round

Always take a big bite

It's such a gorgeous sight

To see you eat in the middle of the night

You can never get enough

Enough of this stuff

It's Friday, I'm in love

 

I don't care if Monday's blue

Tuesday's gray and Wednesday too

Thursday I don't care about you

It's Friday, I'm in love

Monday you can fall apart

Tuesday, Wednesday, break my heart

Thursday doesn't even start

It's Friday, I'm in love
