Claroscuro

The story behind

Soda Stereo wrote Claroscuro as a song that moves between shadows and lights, as if it were painting with words. The lyrics talk about a light that moves between darkness and light, as if it were a tool to discover what is hidden. The song does not limit itself to describing an image, but rather builds it with a voice that seems to draw with each word. The structure of the song is based on a repetition that becomes more complex, as if it were a portrait that is gradually revealed. The duration is four minutes and fifteen seconds, a time that allows the song to sink into the ear and stay there. The song does not have a fixed rhythm, but rather moves between tones that alternate, as if it were searching for a balance between what is seen and what is not seen. The voice moves between light and darkness, as if it were trying to find a place where light and shadow meet.
