Lado B Del Corazón

El Riqué's song "Lado B Del Corazón" delves into the complexities of love, time, and the bittersweet nature of human connections. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person reflecting on missed opportunities and the passage of time. The opening lines, "Cuántas veces al día llego tarde / Y cuántas veces en mi vida no llegué," suggest a recurring theme of tardiness and missed moments, both in daily life and in the broader scope of existence. This sets the stage for a narrative that is both introspective and deeply emotional.

The metaphor of love as a vinyl album is particularly striking. "El amor es como un álbum de vinilo / Hay que dejar correr el disco hasta que llegue tu canción favorita" implies that love, like music, requires patience and the willingness to experience the entire journey, not just the highlights. This metaphor enriches the song's narrative, suggesting that the beauty of love lies in its entirety, including the waiting and the imperfections.

The recurring imagery of coffee and conversations in a café adds a layer of intimacy and nostalgia. The lines "Piensa que siempre te veré otra vez / En el café donde charlamos soñando con huir en tren" evoke a sense of longing and the comfort found in shared dreams and simple moments. The song concludes with a poignant acceptance of aging, "Así no me da miedo envejecer," indicating that the memories and connections made along the way make the passage of time less daunting. El Riqué's lyrical craftsmanship and emotive delivery make "Lado B Del Corazón" a touching exploration of love's enduring and multifaceted nature.
