The story behind
This short but intense song Voy a dormir by Andrés Calamaro has an air of farewell that is not heard in many tracks. It is not an epic song nor an anthem, but something more intimate and direct, as if the author had written on a piece of paper what was going through his mind before turning off the light. The rhythm is sustained by a simple yet effective base, without unnecessary adornments, and Calamaro's voice sounds as if he were singing from the edge of the bed, with that mix of fatigue and resignation that makes the message hit exactly where it should.
Calamaro had already been part of several bands before recording this track, but here there is no trace of experimentation or complicated sound searches. It is a moment in which the musician seems to have left behind the rehearsals with bands like Stress or Proyecto Erekto —where he played alongside Gustavo Cerati and Héctor Zeta Bosio— and focuses on something more personal. The recording is clean, without overproduction, and the result is a track that stays in your head without asking for permission.
