Sixty Seconds

“Sixty seconds is all I need for this story, you’ve come into my heart. I don’t doubt that you have taken me away in this not-so-short time. That’s the kind of person you are. A story that’s enough for me, I don’t need any reasons. You made my heart flutter and you made me find you in that first time.” –Infinite, 60 Seconds [translated lyrics]

Infinite merilis sebuah lagu remake version dari solo track sang leader, Kim Sunggyu, yang bertajuk “60 Seconds”. Lagu pop rock ini merupakan lead single dari album solo perdana Sunggyu yang diberi judul “Another Me”, dan dirilis pada tanggal 19 November 2012. Lagu yang diciptakan oleh tim komposer Sweetune ini kemudian dirilis ulang oleh Infinite full team dan menjadi bagian dari mini album keempat mereka, “New Challenge”, yang dirilis pada tanggal 21 Maret 2013. “60 Seconds” versi Infinite ditulis liriknya oleh Song Sooyoon, dengan musik dan aransemen oleh Yue, Han Jaeho, Kim Seungsoo, dan Hong Seunghyun. Meskipun dikemas dengan tempo pop rock yang dinamis, “60 Seconds” mengungkap keresahan hati akibat cinta yang datang dan pergi.

There was once this saying, it’s from the famous Paulo Coelho, I don’t clearly remember the exact sentence, but more or less it’s like this, “In just a matter of short time, love could take us to heaven and hell, or going back and forth several times.” And yes, it’s truth to be told. Bahwa dalam tempo yang sesingkat-singkatnya, cinta dapat membawa seseorang ke surga dan neraka. Lirik lagu “60 Seconds” menceritakan pengalaman tersebut. Bahwa cinta dapat memainkan segala rasa yang dimiliki manusia. Bahwa enam puluh detik sanggup terasa bagaikan selamanya ketika cinta tengah menjalankan perannya. Cinta dapat datang dalam kurun waktu sesingkat itu, namun juga dapat pergi dalam kurun waktu yang sama. Dan ketika enam puluh detik itu telah berlalu, yang tertinggal adalah kenangan, yang selamanya bersarang dalam ingatan dan relung hati yang terdalam. “Sixty seconds is all I need for this story, it was a hot and cold time. Both are memories that you gave to me in this not-so-short time. That’s the kind of person you are. A story that’s enough for me, a memory that’s like both sides of a sword. I can’t cry but I can’t smile in that cherished time.”

Memang akan selalu ada seseorang yang seperti itu bagi setiap manusia di dunia ini. Seseorang yang akan selalu sanggup mendapatkan hati kita dalam waktu yang singkat. Seseorang yang akan selalu dapat membuat kita kembali padanya bahkan tanpa ia berusaha sama sekali. Seseorang yang akan selalu mampu membuat hati dan pikiran kita tertuju padanya, bahkan untuk selamanya, bahkan setelah kebersamaan yang sangat singkat. “Sixty seconds is all I need for this story, you’ve come into my heart. I don’t doubt that you have taken me away in this not-so-short time. You’re that kind of person. A story that’s enough for me, you’ve disappeared from my life. I didn’t hold back onto you, I saw your heart in this not-so-short time.”

“60 Seconds” versi Sunggyu dan Infinite tidak memiliki perbedaan yang begitu berarti dari segi aransemen musik. Hanya saja, harmonisasi vokal dalam versi Infinite lebih terasa kaya berkat paduan sempurna para personelnya. Namun, Sunggyu memang memiliki kapasitas vokal yang mumpuni sebagai seorang penyanyi solo. Setiap versi mempunyai kelebihan dan kekurangannya masing-masing, and I hard to choose which one is better. Perbedaan mendasar terletak pada struktur lagu setelah chorus kedua. Pada versi solo milik Sunggyu, chorus kedua dilanjutkan dengan bridge, lalu ditutup dengan chorus terakhir. Sementara pada versi Infinite, chorus kedua dilanjutkan dengan rap part, yang kemudian ditutup dengan chorus terakhir. “60 Seconds” versi solo Sunggyu dibuat music video (MV) dengan personel Infinite, L, sebagai modelnya. Sedangkan versi Infinite mereka tampilkan secara live dalam sebuah special stage di salah satu program acara musik televisi. I love both of the versions and this song is really one of a kind. It’s definitely one of Infinite’s best hits.

“Sixty seconds is all I need for this story, you’ve disappeared from my life. I didn’t hold back onto you, I saw your heart in this not-so-short time. That’s the kind of person you are. A story that’s enough for me, you’re message has been clearly told. You said you were hurting and I let you go in that last time.” –Infinite, 60 Seconds [translated lyrics]

“Jongjong georeooda meomchwo duribeondaedaga neowa majuchin siseon

Meonghan nunbit hal mareul irheun nae du ipsul

(My empty eyes, my two lips that lost for words)
Ni hansume simjangi meomchwo

(My heart stops at the sound of your sighs)

(You made me dream of you every day, but why is it a story of yesterday for you?)

Doegama bonda haengbokhan ne moseubeseo jeongji

(I keep rewinding and stopping at your happy image)
Deongdara utge doenda sarang ireon geonji jogeumeun neukkyeojyeotji

(I keep smiling as well, is it what love is? I feel it a little bit)
Gamjeonge eoseolpeudeon naegen yeongwonhae neowa hamkke han sigan

(I was once lacking in emotion but the times with you would last forever)

Yukshipchomyeon chungbunhan story tteugeopgodo tto chagaun time

(Sixty seconds is all I need for this story, it was a hot and cold time)
Da niga jueosseo du gaeui gieok jjarpji anheun time

(Both are memories that you gave to me in this not-so-short time)
Neon geureon saram

(That’s the kind of person you are)

Naegen chungbunhan story kallarui yangnal gateun gieok

(A story that’s enough for me, a memory that’s like both sides of a sword)
Nan ul sudo eopgo utjido motae ganjikhaeon time

(I can’t cry but I can’t smile in that cherished time)”

Kim Sunggyu’s solo version:

“Nae du gaeui story

(Two sides of my stories)
Tteugeopgodo chagaun time, with you

(My hot and cold times, with you)
Dul da niga jun gieokdeul nae du gaeui story

(They’re both memories that you gave to me, two sides of my stories)
Gateun sigan dareun neo nae yangnarui gieok

(Same times, but with different sides of you, my double-edged memories)

Yukshipchomyeon chungbunhan story nae mameuro neon deureowasseo

(Sixty seconds is all I need for this story, you’ve come into my heart)
Nan uisimchi anha nal gajyeogan geol jjarpji anheun time
(I don’t doubt that you have taken me away in this not-so-short time)

Neon geureon saram

(You’re that kind of person)
Naegen chungbunhan story nae sarmeseo neon sarajyeosseo

(A story that’s enough for me, you’ve disappeared from my life)

Neol japji anhasseo ni mameul bon geol jjarpji anheun time

(I didn’t hold back onto you, I saw your heart in this not-so-short time)”
