Altos Y Frondosos

La Unión's song 'Altos Y Frondosos' paints a vivid picture of a secret, passionate love affair set against the backdrop of nature. The title, which translates to 'Tall and Lush,' refers to the trees that serve as a sanctuary for the lovers. These trees symbolize a natural, almost sacred space where the lovers can escape the prying eyes of society and indulge in their emotions. The imagery of the trees being 'tall and lush' suggests a sense of protection and intimacy, creating a private world for the couple.

The lyrics delve into the intensity of the emotions experienced in this secluded setting. The line 'El deseo se adueña de mí' (Desire takes over me) captures the overwhelming passion that the protagonist feels. This desire is further ignited by the lover's kisses, which 'encender mi pasión' (ignite my passion) and leave the protagonist yearning for more. The repetition of this theme underscores the cyclical nature of their encounters, where each meeting fuels an insatiable longing.

Additionally, the song touches on the idea of promises and expectations. The line 'No te ha de extrañar que si has prometido el cielo no con menos me he de conformar' (It shouldn't surprise you that if you've promised heaven, I won't settle for less) suggests a deep emotional investment and a desire for something extraordinary. This expectation of a 'heavenly' love adds a layer of intensity and urgency to their relationship, making their secret meetings even more significant. La Unión's musical style, characterized by its blend of rock and new wave, complements the lyrical themes, creating an atmosphere that is both nostalgic and timeless.
