De Puro Gusto

El Komander's song 'De Puro Gusto' is a vivid portrayal of heartache and the pursuit of liberation through indulgence. The lyrics paint a picture of a man who has been deeply hurt by a tumultuous relationship. He describes himself as a 'cliente insatisfecho' (an unsatisfied customer) of his lover's affections, indicating that the love he received was far from fulfilling. The use of colloquial language and humor, such as the mention of his 'muela del juicio' (wisdom tooth) hurting because of the stress, adds a layer of relatability and rawness to his emotional state.

The chorus reveals his coping mechanism: drinking and escaping to Mazatlán, a popular beach destination in Mexico. This act of driving away and indulging in alcohol and the company of a 'morrita' (a young girl) symbolizes his attempt to forget his troubles and reclaim his sense of freedom. The repetition of 'de puro gusto' (just for the fun of it) underscores his desire to find joy and distraction in the face of his emotional turmoil. The carefree attitude he adopts, 'bien empiernado, despreocupado' (well-entwined, carefree), highlights his determination to move on and enjoy life despite the pain.

El Komander, known for his corridos and regional Mexican music, often explores themes of love, heartbreak, and resilience. 'De Puro Gusto' is no exception, blending traditional musical elements with contemporary storytelling. The song resonates with anyone who has experienced the sting of a broken relationship and sought solace in the simple pleasures of life. It’s a testament to the human spirit's ability to find lightness and joy, even in the darkest of times.
