De Momento Abril

The song 'De Momento Abril' by La Bien Querida, a project led by Spanish indie pop artist Ana Fernández-Villaverde, delves into the poignant theme of unexpressed feelings and missed opportunities. The lyrics narrate a moment of introspection and regret experienced by the protagonist while in a serene garden setting. As the protagonist listens to a song that echoes their own thoughts, they are struck by the realization of what could have been, specifically the missed opportunity to express their desire to marry the person they were with, had they been asked.

This moment of clarity is juxtaposed with the protagonist's habitual silence—highlighting a pattern of holding back their true feelings. The repetition of the lines about leaving and then being overwhelmed by all the things they wished they had said serves to emphasize the cyclical nature of their regret. This pattern suggests a deep-seated fear or inability to convey their emotions, which perpetually leads to moments of reflection on what should have been said.

The song captures a universal human experience—the pain of realizing too late that one had the chance to speak their heart but didn't seize it. La Bien Querida uses a simple yet evocative setting to explore complex emotions, making 'De Momento Abril' a reflective piece on the consequences of our silences and the paths not taken due to our hesitations or fears.
