Anne Hathaway merilis lagu berjudul “Burial” sebagai bagian dari proyek film terbarunya, Mother Mary. Karya ini menjadi sorotan karena menampilkan sisi lain Hathaway, yang dikenal sebagai aktris pemenang Oscar, lewat kemampuan vokalnya untuk mendukung karakter yang ia perankan.

Dalam Mother Mary, Hathaway mendapat peran sebagai diva pop kelas dunia. Karena itu, keterlibatannya menyanyikan lagu dengan suara asli disebut menjadi pilihan untuk memperkuat autentisitas peran dan memberi kedalaman pada narasi film yang berfokus pada dinamika kehidupan seorang bintang panggung.

Hathaway menegaskan bahwa setiap nada dalam “Burial” dirancang untuk mencerminkan emosi serta perjalanan karakter. Film ini disutradarai David Lowery, dan tuntutan peran sebagai ikon pop modern menjadi tantangan tersendiri bagi Hathaway di usia 43 tahun.

Berikut lirik lengkap lagu “Burial”:

Ah-ah, uh-uh
Ah-ah, uh-uh

I'll kill you softly
So sweetly, kindly
I'm mesmerizing, it's terrifying

This black suit fits like a glove
I was born to be the widow of love
Won't lose myself to a touch
I was born to be the widow of love

This black suit fits like a glove
I was born to be the widow of love
My red heart free like a dove
But you tell me that it's never enough

This is your burial (Ah-ah, uh-uh)
This is your burial (Ah-ah, uh-uh)
This is your burial

Don't come closer
I'll push you further
I'm mesmerizing a brutal lover (Oh)

This black suit fits like a glove
I was born to be the widow of love
Won't lose myself to a touch
I was born to be the widow of love
This black suit fits like a glove
I was born to be the widow of love
Born to be the widow of love
My red heart bleeds like a dove
But your teeth tell me I'm not enough

This is your burial (Ah-ah, uh-uh)
This is your burial (Ah-ah, uh-uh)
This is your burial

This black suit fits like a glove
I was born to be the widow of love
Won't lose myself to a touch
I was born to be the widow of love
This black suit fits like a glove
