VIBES WEB3 MUSIC COMPETITION - WEEK 2 ORIGINAL SONG "A MITAD DE LOS 90´S" (Esp/Eng)

Greetings friends and friends participants of the second week of VIBES WEB3 MUSIC COMPETITION. It has definitely been a very busy contest and has generated a lot of interest from the Hive music community as well as the music community in other social networks like Twitter (X). So here we go trying to do the best job possible to offer some good music in this week #2. This time I bring, once again, an original song that is a bit melancholic. Sadness and melancholy are always a source of inspiration and making music in moments where we feel a little sad actually helps us a lot to get those emotions out and to make catharsis.

A little over a month ago, a cousin named "juancito" passed away. We used to call him "juancito" when we were kids in the early nineties, we used to play baseball, soccer, spinning top, metras and also fly parrots (flying kites, kites whatever they call them in your countries). As a result of an ear infection, he began to have some mental health problems. Everything got worse when he started puberty. I remember that my mother used to take us on weekends to see my grandmother and my cousin Juancito also lived there. The truth is that I have beautiful memories of him, and I always regret the fate of his life, since he went from being a normal child to having very serious psychiatric problems. Because of so much aggressive medication his stomach suffered a lot, and then he got sick with stomach problems to a critical point. This song is a dedication to the memory of my cousin and a sort of nostalgic look back to a past time that was definitely better.

Volví, volví, volví
con toda la infancia muerta
sin volar los papagayos
que hicimos con bolsas viejas

LYRICS

I am, I am, I am
in the mid 90's
flying the kites
we made out of dead bags

I saw you, I saw you, I saw you
the full and dry smile
and a bird on your head
pecking at some absence.

I came back, I came back, I came back
with all my childhood dead
without flying the kites
that we made with old bags
