Hombre al agua

The lyrics of the song, like many of Soda Stereo's, can be interpreted in various ways. It is suggested that it deals with someone facing a new challenge, possibly leaving behind a romantic relationship, with an uncertain outcome. Phrases such as "voy flotando por el río", "voy envuelto en la corriente" and "hombre al agua" allude to this leap into the unknown. The original version of the song begins with sound effects evoking the sea, followed by the drums. The keyboard, guitar and a prominent bass are then incorporated, while the electric guitar joins in the chorus. In the final sections, the phrases "voces que se agitan" and "un barco a la deriva" are repeated. One year after its release, a live version was presented at the Gran Rex, which was the first track on the album Rex mix. In this rendition, the drums at the end have a different sound, giving it a rockier feel. During the Dynamo and Sueño stereo tours, the song continued to be part of the repertoire. In 1997, during the farewell mini-tour called El Último Concierto, the song was performed again and included as the third track on the album El último concierto A. In this version, at the beginning, Cerati says "Aqua", followed by "a veces abajo de la superficie... a veces arriba, ¡eh!", before the keyboards and bass begin. Notably, Cerati omits the words "son tan atractivas...". Unlike the original version, after "todos gritarán hombre al agua...", the keyboards sound before the drums enter, and the ending is similar to that of the Gran Rex version. Cerati also performed the song as a solo artist during the Bocanada tour, between September 1999 and June 2000. In 2008, Bahiano recorded a version of this song on his album Nómade. Ten years later, the band played it again on the comeback tour Me Verás Volver, with a rockier style. This rendition was included on the album Gira me verás volver CD1 as the fifth track. A decade later, a new remixed version was released on the album SEP7IMO DÍA, occupying track number 15.
