Ngobrolin film? Bukan, soal lagunya saja. Meski
(Everything I Do) I Do It for You milik Bryam Adams ini memang
melekat betul dengan film ini, Robin Hood:
Prince of Thieves.
Jadilah nyomot penampakan Kevin Costner yang masih muda dan ganteng.
(Everything
I Do) I Do It for You
awalnya adalah lagu pesanan untuk komposer Hollywood, Michael Kamen, yang lalu
berkolaborasi dengan Bryan Adams dan Robert “Mutt” Lange. Mereka menulis selama
lebih kurang satu jam. Adams menggunakan kalimat dalam film, "I do it for
you..." sebagai bagian penting ini lagu. Lagu ini berjaya berbarengan
dengan dirilisnya Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves pada 1991. Awalnya, konon, lagu ini tak disukai
pihak Hollywood. Mereka berharap ada
instrumentasi seperti kecapi, mandolin, dan sejenisnya yang sesuai dengan era
yang ditampilkan dalam film. Akhirnya perusahaan film memang mengalah, meski
menempatkan lagu ini di tengah-tengah kredit. Faktanya lagu ini berhasil meraih
penghargaan bergengsi. Adams bersama Kamen dan Lange memenangkan Grammy Award
untuk kategori Best Song
Written Specifically for a
Motion Picture or
Television dan masuk nominasi
Grammy Award untuk kategori Record of The Year tahun 1992. Menjadi nominator
pula untuk Academy Award kategori Best Song, namun kalah dari Beauty
And The Beast. Sedangkan Adams sendiri mendapatkan Grammy Award untuk
kategori Best Pop Instrumental
Performance.
(Everything I Do) I Do It for dapat ditemukan di album Waking Up The Neighbors. Adams merilis lagu ini bersama single album dengan Can't Stop This Thing We Started pada sisi B. Lagu ini berhasil mencapai
puncak tangga lagu, baik di Inggris maupun Amerika Serikat. Selama 16 pekan di
Inggris pada kurun waktu Juli hingga Oktober 1991, selama 7 pekan pada
Billboard Hot 100, dan 9 pekan di negara asal Adams, Kanada. Billboard
menempatkan lagu ini sebagai jawara lagu 1991. Pada awal kemunculannya, lagu
ini terjual 3 juta copy. Lalu pada penjualan dunia mencapai 15 juta copy, yang
menjadikan Adams sebagai penyanyi yang sukses dan salah satu pencetak best
selling single terbesar dalam sejarah industri musik.
(Everything I Do) I Do It For You
Look into my eyes – you will see
What you mean to me
Search your heart, search your soul
