Cuestión de Piel

Luis Miguel's 'Cuestión de Piel' is a song that delves into the profound and often inexplicable connection that can exist between two people. The title itself, which translates to 'A Matter of Skin,' suggests a deep, physical, and emotional bond that goes beyond mere attraction. It speaks to the idea that love and attraction are not just about the physical or the visible; they are about something much more innate and visceral.

The lyrics describe this connection as a 'whiplash that goes from side to side,' indicating a powerful and overwhelming force that takes hold of the individuals involved. The repeated phrase 'suave suave como una nube, sube sube a tu nivel' (soft, soft like a cloud, rise, rise to your level) evokes a sense of gentle ascension, a smooth and natural progression of feelings that elevates both individuals to a shared plane of understanding and intimacy. The song suggests that love is an impulse that can go well or poorly, but it is ultimately governed by this deep-seated 'matter of skin.'

Luis Miguel, often referred to as 'El Sol de México,' is known for his romantic ballads and boleros that often explore themes of love, passion, and heartache. 'Cuestión de Piel' fits within this tradition, offering listeners a poetic and sensual exploration of the ties that bind two people together in love. The song's emphasis on a connection that feels predestined ('Es el destino para dos predestinados') adds a layer of fate and destiny to the romantic experience, suggesting that some relationships are meant to be and are driven by forces beyond our control.
