Amor De Voceador
Fernando Delgadillo
The Illusion of Love in Print: A Journey Through Magazine Fantasies
Fernando Delgadillo's song "Amor De Voceador" delves into the whimsical and somewhat melancholic world of a man who finds himself enamored with the women he sees on magazine covers. The narrative begins with a chance encounter where the protagonist spots a captivating image of a woman on a magazine cover. This moment of serendipity leads him to purchase the magazine, despite his initial hesitation and concern about societal judgment. The protagonist's fascination with the woman, Miss February, grows as he imagines her as Juliet, a symbol of unattainable love and idealized beauty.
The song explores themes of loneliness and the search for connection in a world where real relationships seem elusive. The protagonist's obsession with the magazine women highlights his longing for companionship and the comfort he finds in these idealized images. His attempts to reach out to the magazine's executives in hopes of connecting with Miss February only result in disappointment, as he realizes that these women are mere fantasies, not real people. This cycle of infatuation and disillusionment continues as he moves on to other magazine covers, each representing a new, yet equally unattainable, love interest.
Delgadillo's lyrics also touch on the superficiality of modern relationships and the commodification of beauty. The protagonist's preference for the women in magazines over real-life connections underscores the impact of media on our perceptions of love and desire. The song's conclusion, where the protagonist admits he would settle for a real woman, reflects a yearning for genuine human connection amidst a sea of artificial images. Through "Amor De Voceador," Delgadillo paints a poignant picture of the struggle between fantasy and reality in the quest for love.
