Pensando En Ti
LÚA (Brian Priego)
The Sweet Agony of Unrequited Love in LÚA's 'Pensando En Ti'
LÚA, also known as Brian Priego, is an artist who often delves into the complexities of emotions and relationships through his music. In 'Pensando En Ti' (Thinking of You), LÚA explores the theme of unrequited love and the longing to be noticed by the object of one's affection. The song's lyrics convey a sense of vulnerability and the struggle of having strong feelings for someone who may not feel the same way.
The opening lines of the song pose questions that reflect the singer's confusion and wonder at how someone has captivated his thoughts so completely. He admits to being overwhelmed by his feelings upon seeing this person, suggesting a deep emotional connection that he fears may not be reciprocated. The use of the phrase 'muy bateado,' which translates to 'struck out' in English, is a metaphor derived from baseball, indicating repeated failures in love. This sports analogy effectively communicates the artist's feelings of rejection and the challenges he faces in the game of love.
Despite the history of heartache, the singer expresses a determination to try and win over the person he admires. He dreams of being the one to make them happy and to be there for them. The lyrics paint a picture of someone who is not only infatuated but also genuinely cares for the well-being and happiness of the other person. The repeated lines 'Yo sé muy bien que pienso en ti' drive home the persistent nature of his thoughts and feelings. LÚA's 'Pensando En Ti' is a heartfelt ballad that resonates with anyone who has ever experienced the bittersweet yearning of loving someone from afar.
