Ansiedad

Albert Hammond's song 'Ansiedad' delves deep into the emotional turmoil of longing and separation. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person consumed by thoughts of a loved one, whose absence is felt profoundly. The opening lines, 'Tal vez estén llorando mis pensamientos / Mis lágrimas son perlas que caen al mar,' use the metaphor of tears as pearls falling into the sea, symbolizing the precious yet overwhelming nature of the protagonist's sorrow. This imagery sets the tone for a song steeped in melancholy and desire.

The recurring theme of 'ansiedad' or anxiety is central to the song, encapsulating the intense yearning to be reunited with a loved one. The lines 'Ansiedad, de tenerte en mis brazos / Musitando palabras de amor' express a deep craving for physical and emotional closeness. This longing is not just for the presence of the loved one but also for the intimate moments and affectionate words shared. The repetition of 'ansiedad' emphasizes the relentless and consuming nature of this feeling, making it clear that the protagonist's life is overshadowed by this emotional void.

In the final verse, the song shifts to a hopeful yet sorrowful tone, imagining that the loved one might also be experiencing similar feelings. 'Quizás estés llorando al recordarme / Y estreches mi retrato con frenesí' suggests a mutual longing and a shared sense of loss. The mention of a 'melodía salvaje' or wild melody reaching the loved one's ears symbolizes the raw and untamed nature of their emotions. This connection through shared pain and memory highlights the deep bond between the two, even in their physical separation. 'Ansiedad' is a poignant exploration of love, loss, and the enduring hope for reunion, capturing the universal experience of longing in a beautifully poetic manner.
