Alma de 80's

Pelo Madueño's song 'Alma de 80's' is a heartfelt ode to the past, specifically the vibrant and rebellious spirit of the 1980s. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a time filled with energetic music, late-night adventures, and a sense of community among those who lived through it. The 'rhythm' that 'crosses the city' and the 'garage ruidoso' (noisy garage) evoke the underground music scene that was a hallmark of the era. The mention of 'brujas enamoradas' (enamored witches) and 'chico solitario en el club' (lonely boy in the club) adds a touch of mystique and romance, highlighting the unique characters that populated this vibrant world.

The chorus, with its repeated plea to the 'Alma de 80's' (Soul of the 80s), underscores a deep yearning to reconnect with that lost time. The singer acknowledges that 'los tiempos no volverán' (the times will not return), yet there is a desperate need to feel that same sense of belonging and excitement in the present. The 'desierto' (desert) that has 'venido hoy aquí' (come here today) symbolizes the emptiness and disconnection felt in contemporary times, contrasting sharply with the warmth and magic of the past.

The song also touches on the theme of lost magic and camaraderie. The 'gatos brujas y serpientes' (cats, witches, and snakes) that 'bailaban en tu habitación' (danced in your room) represent the eclectic and free-spirited nature of the 80s. The 'voz maldita' (cursed voice) that 'nos arrastró' (dragged us) signifies the powerful influence of the music and culture of that era. In the end, 'Alma de 80's' is a poignant reflection on the passage of time and the enduring impact of a decade that continues to inspire and resonate with those who experienced it.
