Hookah & Sheridan's

Tommy Boysen's 'Hookah & Sheridan's' is a song that delves into the intimate and sensual experience shared between two people. The lyrics describe a scene where the artist and his partner are enjoying each other's company, enhanced by the ambiance created by smoking hookah and sipping on Sheridan's, a type of liqueur. The song emphasizes the connection and chemistry between the couple, suggesting that their bond is the most intoxicating substance of all.

The repeated references to hookah and Sheridan's serve as metaphors for the heady, intoxicating nature of their relationship. Boysen describes a careful balance, where they are fully aware and present ('con los cinco sentidos bien puestos') without overindulging in substances. This implies a deeper connection that doesn't rely on external influences to be meaningful. The hookah's mint tobacco and the cold Sheridan's on the rocks symbolize a refreshing and invigorating aspect of their interactions, which is mirrored in the physical sensations described in the song.

The song also touches on themes of desire and exclusivity. Boysen mentions that the woman only engages in smoking and drinking when she's with him, highlighting a special bond that is reserved for their private moments. The lyrics suggest a transformation in their relationship, where once the woman might not have been interested ('antes tu no me dabas ni bola'), but now there is a mutual passion and a desire for commitment ('es que yo quiero que seas mi polola'). The song captures the essence of a passionate, yet balanced relationship, where the most potent elements are the feelings and experiences shared between the two.
