Detrás Del Sueño

Albert Hammond's song 'Detrás Del Sueño' delves into the haunting and cyclical nature of dreams and longing. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a dream that never seems to end, filled with shadows, symbols, and unanswered questions. The recurring theme of the dream restarting suggests a sense of being trapped in an endless loop, where the protagonist is constantly searching for something or someone elusive.

The imagery in the song is rich and evocative. Hammond uses metaphors like 'moldeo tu cuerpo con la oscuridad' (I mold your body with the darkness) and 'fragancia de lilas, espuma de amor' (fragrance of lilacs, foam of love) to convey a deep sense of yearning and loss. The dreamscape is filled with fleeting moments of connection, like kisses that touch and then disappear, and the protagonist's pursuit of these moments is both poignant and futile.

The song also explores the emotional toll of this endless pursuit. Phrases like 'sudor en el alma, herida la piel' (sweat in the soul, wounded skin) and 'la noche es eterna, la noche eres tú' (the night is eternal, the night is you) highlight the physical and emotional exhaustion that comes with chasing an unattainable dream. The repetition of these lines emphasizes the cyclical nature of the protagonist's struggle, where night never turns to day, symbolizing a perpetual state of longing and unfulfilled desire.

'Behind the Dream' is a powerful exploration of the human condition, capturing the essence of longing, loss, and the relentless pursuit of something just out of reach. Hammond's poetic lyrics and haunting melodies create a dreamlike atmosphere that resonates deeply with listeners, inviting them to reflect on their own experiences of love and loss.
