Que lástima, pero adios
You ever get in to one of those moods where you listen to a song over and over and can’t stop?
However, you know you don’t want to stop because something about the song — the melody, beat, lyrics, singer’s voice — makes you leave the song on loop.
On my way to work yesterday, I switched from listening to the Cure to the radio. Morning Becomes Eclectic was on and the song playing was Julieta Venegas’ new single, “Me Voy.”
It made me cry. But that’s not too difficult. I’m in a weird state these days, and it’s contributed to a mini writer’s block.
I downloaded “Me Voy” on iTunes and later had Hector (a friend and my “supplier” of all things rock en español) send me the mp3 via YouSendIt (link). I’m not sure how many times I’ve listened to “Me Voy,” but I know it’s a lot.
I can’t wait to hear this and the new record.
I still owe you music, no se me a olvidado.
You have just made my day.
i LOVE her.
I feel ya. I’ve been in a weird state as well and haven’t been able to write anything, nor have I had the energy for it.
Hope everything goes well!
Oooo, i’m gonna have to listen to that! THANKS!
julieta venegas has been in my top five for a long while now. she’s cool, and i confess, she’s one of my amores platonicos (shakira, salma, and pilar being the other ones). thanks for the cancion.
some other good songs of hers include:
Liston de tu peloe with Jarabe de Palo
another one with Panteon Roco (what’s the name)
andar conmigo
algo esta cambiando
Sueño with diego torres
note: mainstream entertainment is very seductive, and i can’t help it
muchas gracias, very cool track.
I can see why you have it on repeat.
Thanks for sharing that yousendit weblink. I am going to bookmark it, saves on bandwitdh heh..
I think it’s fantastic that Julieta Venegas is considered “Mainstream.” Out of many rock en espanol artists, one, she deserves it, and two, she continually puts out some great records. I can’t wait for Limon y Sal.
Back in Sept. of 2003 I saw Julieta Vengeas at JC Fandangos in Anaheim. There must of only been about 50-80 people there that night. Two months later “Si” came out and the rest as they say is history. Althought, if I heard about Julieta before “Si” came out I’m sure many other people had also, at least to sell out JC Fandangos. Anyway, does anyone know when she’s coming to Los Angeles for a show? I went on her website and I could not find any info on a tour date, my spanish isn’t that great so perhaps I overlooked it.
Hi Cindylu I enjoy your blog!
I’ve looping the song since I bought it on iTunes. Actually I’ve been looping it today, at this very moment, since 7:30 in the morning. I can’t wait for the new album!!
i caught the video on tv the other night. it is a good song.
What a great song. Thanks for sharing Cindy. I hope you get out of your funk soon. I love reading about your Graduate/Life experiences.
All these subtle innuendos. Great song, indeed.
So you know what song was stuck in my head all day? PM Dawn – da, da, da, da, da … I know .. this .. much .. is true.
I think that’s proof that I’m settling into Hillcrest quite nicely.
Cesar,
I heard it should be out in May. I can’t wait! Oh yeah, I’m glad I could make your day.
Tumbleweed,
Don’t we all?
Maria,
I hope you feel better. I actually don’t really have writer’s block only when it comes to the blog. I’m censoring myself.
cad,
I hope you like it.
Tin,
The covers you mentioned are great too. My favorite cover is “La Jaula de Oro” from Los Tigres del Norte.
La Luna Negra,
No problem.
Joseph,
I think the file deletes itself from YouSendIt after a week or something. Make sure you get it while you can.
Louis,
I’ve only seen her live once and it was fantastic. Sí was already out by that point, but I don’t think it had “blown up” yet. She’s so down to earth and approachable. Thanks for stopping by!
Bren,
I love how I think I played it 18 times on iTunes. I wonder if people outside my office were getting annoyed.
Irasali,
I don’t have any channels that consistently show videos. It’d be rare for me to actually catch the video. César had a link to it. The flyin away in a balloon is really cute.
Geo,
I’ll be there soon. But my grad life experiences are boring. And the exciting/fun experiences I’m unwilling to blog about. Maybe I should use the private function.
Oso,
I hardly think the innuendos are subtle.
I LOVE this song. I had it on loop for at least an hour last night. Does anyone know the release date for Limon y Sal?
Which innuendos are you guys talking about? Something about her particular private life?
The album will be released in June, at least that’s what I found on Amazon.
