The story behind
Canción de amor propio, according to DoReSol
There are songs that, when played, invite you on an intimate journey, and Ismael Serrano's Self-Love Song is one of them. It's not just a melody; it's an invitation to look in the mirror with honesty, to recognize our own battles, and to find that inner strength that sometimes eludes us. The piece, which spans almost five minutes, takes us through a reflection on the importance of cultivating genuine self-appreciation, a theme that resonates with particular depth.
This song is part of The Memory of Fish, Ismael Serrano's second studio album. The album's title evokes the idea of an ephemeral memory, almost like that of fish, but the lyrics of this record propose the exact opposite: a constant reminder of commitment, both on a personal and social level. It delves into collective memory, touching sensitive chords about repression and the scars left by dictatorships in places like Spain, Argentina, and Chile. It is an album that, despite its title, seeks to anchor memory and reflection.
