"Canciones que evaden a la casualidad" [Esp-Eng]

Esta es una de las canciones que me genera mucho temor con tan solo escucharla, y es por el hecho de pensar en conseguir al amor de tu vida justo después de estar con alguien a quien considerabas como esa persona especial. Resulta casual que en una oportunidad yo me hice una pregunta similar a esto, y realmente no pude tener una respuesta concreta pues no es algo de lo cual escuchas hablar cada día.

No sería producto del destino y mucho menos de la casualidad, pues habría injusticia para ambas partes. Sé que Arjona expone un punto en el que muchos caen, y es el miedo a envejecer o estar solos y por ende, como él lo menciona, “confundimos amor por compañía”. Quizás si alguien llegara a experimentar algo como lo menciona Arjona, no sería casualidad encontrar a tu verdadero amor tarde, sino que sería la cosecha de aquella decisión que en base a todo, menos al verdadero amor, te llevó a ser el protagonista de semejante letra.

“El alma al aire” (Alejandro Sanz)

Esta canción me parece una prosa explícita de aquellas vidas que en cada página del tiempo, parecen reflejar el mismo resultado, solo con el escenario y los personajes diferentes. Precisamente en la vida, a veces hay patrones de sentimientos que nos llevan al mismo destino y no suele ser por coincidencia sino porque hemos andado la misma línea que alguien más trazo en algún punto de su existir. Para mí, este tema es un tributo a los pliegues del amor que se desdoblan de la misma manera, solo que con colores y paisajes diferentes.

Escuchar este tema siempre me ha llevado a la misma conclusión de pensar que para amar no hay casualidades ni destinos, y que cada persona es capaz de alcanzar el cielo mismo, si sabe que con esto logrará ganarse el corazón de esa persona ideal. Claro, hablo en base a lo que la misma letra me despierta, y esto es algo que pocos cantautores pueden lograr de la manera como Alejandro Sanz lo hace en este y otros temas de su propia inspiración.

“Mi historia entre tus dedos” (Gianluca Grignani)

¿Alguna vez has escuchado una canción y has pensado: “esta canción está hecha para mí”? Pues de seguro que sí, y es que de hecho hay muchas canciones que enmarcan algún paraje de nuestra vida. Resulta asombroso poder sentir que una canción exprese lo que tú estás viviendo y a veces con la misma carga de emoción y sentimiento como lo puedes vivir. Son de esos temas que al escucharlos enseguida dices “Esta es mi canción”, y no sientes pena ni temor de entonarla con total dedicación.

En favor de aquello que consideran como casual, esta canción llegó a mí justo cuando pasaba por una situación sentimental parecida a la que la misma canción explica, y resulta interesante que cada vez que la escuchaba, sentía como esa especie de terapia de superación que me decía que no era el único que pasaba por algo así, y que siempre será mejor seguir adelante a pesar de cualquier herida que hayamos tenido que sufrir.

Desde mi punto de vista la casualidad suele ser ese personaje con el cual asumimos tantas situaciones en nuestro vivir diario, y por el cual hemos labrado un camino hasta de manera inconsciente. Encontrar canciones tan bonitas y que forman parte de ti llega a ser algo más que un simple producto de la coincidencia o el azar, algo que prefiero aceptar como un sublime y especial complemento en el largo trayecto de aquello que llamamos vida.

Gracias por darle valor a esta publicación con tu tiempo y atención.

Hasta pronto.

I had once wondered about how many songs I have come to listen to by chance, almost without any search that has allowed me to find a great musical theme, a story in which you end up identifying yourself and thinking that this song is part of your life. Many assume the idea to a destiny or purpose meant for you, while others prefer to think that they have done something or taken a certain step in order to enjoy a beautiful song.

In this aspect, it can be said that there are songs that point to a chance event that leads you to be inspired, to find a great love, to recognize a special person in your life, or simply to the tenuous chance of waiting for something important to happen in your life. Knowing that the musical world can become a true universe in terms of genres and specific themes, it is not so difficult to choose some songs that, whether purposeful or not, come to you to stay and become part of your existence.

"Sin daños a terceros" (Ricardo Arjona)

This is one of the songs that generates a lot of fear just by listening to it, and it is because of the fact of thinking about getting the love of your life right after being with someone you considered as that special person. It just so happens that I once asked myself a question similar to this, and I couldn't really have a concrete answer because it's not something you hear about every day.

It would not be a product of destiny and much less of chance, because there would be injustice for both parties. I know that Arjona exposes a point that many fall into, and is the fear of getting old or being alone and therefore, as he mentions, "we confuse love for companionship. Perhaps if someone were to experience something like Arjona mentions, it would not be a coincidence to find your true love late, but would be the harvest of that decision that based on everything but true love, led you to be the protagonist of such lyrics.

"El alma al aire" (Alejandro Sanz)

This song seems to me an explicit prose of those lives that in each page of time, seem to reflect the same result, only with different scenery and characters. Precisely in life, sometimes there are patterns of feelings that lead us to the same destiny and it is not usually by coincidence but because we have walked the same line that someone else traced at some point in their existence. For me, this theme is a tribute to the folds of love that unfold in the same way, only with different colors and landscapes.

Listening to this song has always led me to the same conclusion of thinking that to love there are no coincidences or destinies, and that each person is capable of reaching the sky itself, if they know that with this they will be able to win the heart of that ideal person. Of course, I speak based on what the lyrics themselves awaken in me, and this is something that few singer-songwriters can achieve in the way Alejandro Sanz does in this and other songs of his own inspiration.

"Mi historia entre tus dedos" (Gianluca Grignani)

Have you ever listened to a song and thought: "this song was made for me"? Well, I'm sure you have, and in fact there are many songs that frame some part of our lives. It is amazing to be able to feel that a song expresses what you are living and sometimes with the same load of emotion and feeling as you can live it. They are those songs that when you listen to them you immediately say "This is my song", and you feel no shame or fear to sing it with total dedication.

In favor of what they consider as casual, this song came to me just when I was going through a sentimental situation similar to what the same song explains, and it is interesting that every time I listened to it, I felt like that kind of overcoming therapy that told me that I was not the only one going through something like that, and that it will always be better to move forward despite any wound we have had to suffer.

From my point of view, chance is usually that character with which we assume so many situations in our daily lives, and for which we have carved a path even unconsciously. Finding such beautiful songs that are part of you becomes something more than a simple product of coincidence or chance, something that I prefer to accept as a sublime and special complement in the long journey of what we call life.
