Floating on Cloud Nine: A Love Story in 'Encima de Mil'
Alejandro Santamaria's song 'Encima de Mil,' featuring KURT, is a heartfelt narrative about finding love in unexpected places and the transformative power of a new relationship. The song begins with the protagonist meeting a woman who is unhappy with her current boyfriend. This serendipitous encounter becomes a turning point for both of them. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of their first meeting in a bar, where the protagonist's humor and charm help lift her spirits, leading to a connection that feels almost magical.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the all-encompassing joy and euphoria that the protagonist feels in this new relationship. Phrases like 'De la cabeza a los pies' (From head to toe) and 'Todos los días del mes' (Every day of the month) highlight the constant and pervasive happiness brought by the woman's presence. The metaphor of 'flotando' (floating) suggests a sense of being uplifted and carried away by love, transcending the mundane aspects of everyday life.
The song also delves into the simple yet profound pleasures of being together. Watching Netflix, sharing kisses, and laughing together are depicted as moments of pure bliss. The reference to dancing 'vallenato,' a traditional Colombian music genre, adds a cultural layer to their bond, suggesting a deep connection rooted in shared experiences and joy. The repeated desire to stay in these moments forever underscores the depth of the protagonist's feelings and the transformative impact of this relationship. 'Encima de Mil' is a celebration of love's ability to elevate and transform, making every moment feel extraordinary.
