Song of the Week

Alejate de Mi- Camila

The upcoming second single from their sophomore album "Dejarte de Amar", Alejate de Mi (Distance Yourself From Me) sets itself apart from the rest of the songs on the album. Singer/Songwriter and Camila front-man Mario Domm proves again why he is one of the hottest songwriters in the Spanish market. The lyrics rival those of Camila's Abrazame, Todo Cambió, and Coleccionista de Canciones from "Todo Cambio." Different from their usual love songs, this song tells a different tale. In it, the singer tells his girlfriend to distance herself from him before he lies to her. He admits he is not the saint she once thought and he did not fall from the sky to be her prince charming. He says this to avoid causing her anymore pain, even though he does not want to lose her; it is best for her to leave. Lyrically, this song is gold with the usual epic Domm lines filled with great metaphors. Simply, beautiful songwriting.

Best line: "La luz ya, no alcanza, no quieras caminar sobre el dolor descalza"(The light no longer reaches, don't try to walk on the pain barefoot" I know, the Spanish version does sound WAY better than the English.
