This short but intense song has a rhythm that sticks from the first chord. It sounds like a whisper that turns urgent, with a melody that lingers in the air and won’t let go. The Title doesn’t lie: it demands distance, yet does so with an elegance that seems to contradict the harshness of the lyrics. It’s one of those pieces you hum without realizing, as if your body already knew it before hearing it in full.

They recorded it with an arrangement that gives it an intimate yet theatrical air, just what it needed to avoid sounding like just another bolero. Jaques Morelenbaum, the Arranger, imbued it with a touch that oscillates between the classic and the modern, as if weaving threads from different eras. It’s no coincidence that it sounds so different from what usually plays on the radio: it wasn’t meant to fill halls, but to stay in the memory of whoever listens closely.
