Adentro Mío

In 'Adentro Mío,' Andrés Calamaro delves deep into the realm of personal melancholy and the healing power of music. The song begins with the artist waking up to an overwhelming sense of sadness, more profound than usual. This melancholy is described as something that courses through his entire being, making it difficult to start the day. The imagery of his life passing through his throat suggests a choking sensation, a struggle to breathe under the weight of his emotions.

As Calamaro grapples with his feelings, he turns to his guitar, a faithful companion in times of distress. The notes that emerge are somber, reflecting his inner turmoil. However, in a moment of serendipity, he experiences what he calls a 'miracle of blues.' A voice begins to sing along with him, harmonizing with the sorrowful notes he plays. This voice, seemingly from another realm, brings a sense of connection and solace. The reference to Muddy Waters, a legendary blues musician, adds a layer of depth to this experience. It's as if the spirit of Muddy Waters is guiding him through his blues, offering a comforting presence.

The song also touches on the idea of music as a universal language that transcends time and space. The mention of a 'telephone from Earth, collect call from Argentina' symbolizes a bridge between different worlds, connecting Calamaro's present with the rich history of blues music. This connection helps him navigate his day, allowing the melancholy to pass as he immerses himself in the healing power of music. 'Adentro Mío' is a poignant exploration of how music can serve as a lifeline, offering comfort and understanding in moments of deep emotional struggle.
