COM EL DIA I LA NIT (feat. Julieta)

The song "COM EL DIA I LA NIT (feat. Julieta)" by Oques Grasses, a Catalan band known for their eclectic mix of reggae, funk, and pop, delves into the themes of time, change, and the simplicity of living in the moment. The lyrics, sung in Catalan, express a philosophical acceptance of life's ebb and flow, much like the day turns to night without our control. The band suggests that life is governed by time, and that we should not overcomplicate our existence with excessive thought or worry about the past. Instead, they advocate for a simple, present-focused approach to life.

The imagery of counting stars and them falling into the bed ('Vaig contant estels per culpa teva / Em cauen al llit') could symbolize the idea of dreams and wishes that one may have because of someone else, yet there's a sense of letting go and allowing things to happen naturally. The mention of fear when the sun sets ('Quan el sol està caient em ve la por d'estar perdent') might represent the anxiety of losing time or opportunities, but the song ultimately encourages embracing the moment and moving forward without regret. The lyrics also touch on the desire for change and spontaneity, as staying in one place or sticking to the norm can become tedious ('Crec que se’m fa avorrit quan és massa normal').

The song's chorus, with its repetition of 'Vivim' (We live) and 'Senzill' (Simple), reinforces the central message of living simply and fully. Oques Grasses seems to be saying that life's beauty lies in its simplicity and that we should live with the joy and wonder of a heart blooming like flowers in an empty space ('Flors on estava buit'). The song is a call to live with illusion, or with a sense of hope and excitement, suggesting that this is what truly makes life worth living.
