Consejo de Amor (feat. Morat)
TINI
The Heartache of Lost Love in TINI's 'Consejo de Amor'
TINI's 'Consejo de Amor' featuring Morat is a poignant ballad that delves into the emotional turmoil of unrequited love and the what-ifs that haunt the aftermath of a relationship that never fully blossomed. The song's title, which translates to 'Advice of Love,' hints at the wisdom gained from such a painful experience, though the lyrics reveal a deeper narrative of longing and missed opportunities.
The lyrics express the singer's internal conflict between accepting the loss of a loved one and the desire to have been the chosen one. Phrases like 'Pude haber sido yo' ('It could have been me') underscore the sense of regret and the yearning to have been the person with whom the loved one wakes up every morning. The recurring theme of 'balas perdidas' ('lost bullets') in the song metaphorically represents the unintended hurts and the collateral damage in the battles of love. The singer grapples with the idea of erasing the traces of a past lover's kisses or writing over them with their own, illustrating the struggle to move on from the past while still being emotionally tied to it.
The collaboration with Morat, a Colombian band known for their folk-pop style, adds a layer of depth to the song, as the blend of TINI's emotive voice and Morat's distinctive sound creates a rich, melancholic atmosphere. The song resonates with anyone who has experienced the bittersweet nature of love, where the hope of what could have been lingers long after the reality has faded. 'Consejo de Amor' is a testament to the enduring human experience of love, loss, and the lessons learned in between.
