Vine del norte

The story behind

Ismael Serrano wrote Vine del norte as a song that lasts around four and a half minutes. The lyrics talk about a journey, about a path that is traveled, about a place that is left behind. It is a song that sounds as if someone were walking down a street that no longer exists, thinking about what they left behind. It is not a hymn, nor a cry, but a voice that tells a story, as if it were a memory that is fading away. The song fits into a style that mixes the personal with the historical, as if the singer were talking about his own life, but also about something bigger, something that cannot be explained with words. The lyrics move between the concrete and the abstract, as if each word were a step on a path that has no end.
