No Pretendas

Axel's song "No Pretendas" is a heartfelt ode to the simplicity and authenticity in love. The lyrics emphasize the importance of being oneself in a relationship, rather than trying to be everything for the other person. Axel advises against pretending to be the air, wind, earth, or any other grandiose element that might seem necessary for the partner's existence. Instead, he encourages his partner to simply be themselves, as true love is found in the genuine and unpretentious moments shared between two people.

The chorus reinforces this message by highlighting the depth of love that comes from simplicity. Axel sings about looking into each other's eyes, holding hands, staying silent together, and sharing kisses. These simple acts are portrayed as the foundation of a profound and magical connection. The repetition of the phrase "Cuanto mas sencillo mas profundo es el amor" (The simpler, the deeper the love) underscores the idea that love does not need grand gestures or complex roles to be meaningful.

Axel's musical style, often characterized by its emotional and melodic nature, complements the song's theme perfectly. His soothing voice and the gentle instrumentation create an intimate atmosphere that draws the listener into the song's message. "No Pretendas" serves as a reminder that the essence of love lies in the small, everyday moments and the genuine connection between two people, rather than in trying to fulfill unrealistic expectations or roles.
