Iluminábamos (feat. Monsieur Periné)

Benjamin Amadeo's song "Iluminábamos (feat. Monsieur Periné)" is a poetic exploration of love, memory, and the struggle with distance. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of two people who once shared a deep connection, symbolized by the act of illuminating songs. This metaphor suggests that their love brought light and clarity to their lives, making even the darkest moments easier to navigate. The repetition of the phrase "Iluminábamos todo el lugar" (We illuminated the whole place) emphasizes the all-encompassing nature of their bond, which brightened every corner of their existence.

The song also delves into the theme of memory and the act of writing as a means to preserve fleeting moments. The lines "Imaginábamos canciones / Y ahora recuerdo porque escribo / Para volver definitivo / Lo que estaba por caer" (We imagined songs / And now I remember why I write / To make permanent / What was about to fall) highlight the power of creativity and memory in keeping the essence of their relationship alive. Writing becomes a tool to capture and immortalize the beauty of their shared experiences, preventing them from fading away.

A recurring theme in the song is the difficulty of maintaining distance. The lyrics "Porque a nosotros no nos sale bien eso de la distancia" (Because we are not good at this distance thing) reveal the emotional struggle of being apart. Despite their efforts, the distance between them feels unnatural and painful, underscoring the depth of their connection. The song's collaboration with Monsieur Periné adds a layer of musical richness, blending Amadeo's heartfelt lyrics with the band's distinctive sound, creating a poignant and resonant piece that speaks to the universal experience of love and separation.
