El Amor Es Algo Mas

Luis Enrique Ascoy's song 'El Amor Es Algo Más' delves into the complexities of love and human relationships, challenging superficial judgments and societal norms. The lyrics reflect a narrative where the protagonist grapples with being judged based on external factors such as wealth and social status. The repeated line 'el ser pobre era un delito' (being poor was a crime) underscores the harsh reality of societal prejudices that equate material wealth with personal worth. This sentiment is further emphasized by the contrast between the protagonist and the 'chica radical' (radical girl), who represents a superficial approach to life and relationships.

The chorus, 'Solo tenías que mirar más adentro, más allá de lo que ven tus ojos' (You just had to look deeper, beyond what your eyes see), serves as a poignant reminder that true love and understanding go beyond physical appearances and material possessions. It calls for a deeper connection that transcends the superficial layers of life. This message is particularly resonant in a world where social media and external validation often overshadow genuine human connections.

Ascoy's lyrics also touch on the theme of regret and realization. The line 'Hoy que vives aquel sueño, y te sobra vanidad, ¿qué se siente despertarse? junto a la infelicidad...' (Today you live that dream, and vanity abounds, how does it feel to wake up next to unhappiness?) suggests that the pursuit of superficial dreams can lead to a hollow existence. The song ultimately advocates for a more profound understanding of love, one that values inner qualities and emotional depth over external attributes. Through its reflective and introspective lyrics, 'El Amor Es Algo Más' encourages listeners to seek meaningful connections and to look beyond the surface in their relationships.
