The story behind
Instrucciones para salvar el odio eternamente, according to DoReSol
In Instructions for Saving Hatred Eternally, Ismael Serrano presents a piece that invites deep reflection, addressing themes of memory and commitment. The song, with a duration of 2 minutes and 41 seconds, is part of his second studio album, The Memory of Fish. This album, which achieved platinum status in Spain, takes its name from a curious analogy with the memory capacity of fish, suggesting a reflection on how we process and retain our experiences, especially those linked to history.
The lyrical content of The Memory of Fish, and therefore of Instructions for Saving Hatred Eternally, is distinguished by a clear stance of social and political vindication. Serrano weaves direct references to historical memory into his lyrics, paying homage to the victims of repression in complex contexts such as the dictatorships experienced in Spain, Argentina, and Chile. It is an invitation not to forget, to keep alive the awareness of past events in order to build a more just present and future.
