I want a deep zoom
I want the end of the secret
Between your silver lips
And my unforgettable steel
I want a loop
Protagonist
Come
Test me and you'll see we're all addicts
To these firework displays
I'm going to make an intense hardcore porn
What seduces is never usually there
Where it's thought
Zoom
I've been here before
And you run to laugh
Your corners
Give me a zoom
Lights, camera, action

Sueño Stereo
Soda Stereo · 1995 · Track 1
The story behind
Soda Stereo included «Zoom» as the second promotional single from Sueño Stereo, their seventh and final studio album, released on June 21, 1995 by Sony BMG. The song was composed by Gustavo Cerati and became one of the group's most internationally recognized tracks. In 2006, the magazine Al Borde ranked it at number 129 on the 500 greatest songs in Ibero-American rock, the same ranking that also featured «Ella usó mi cabeza como un revólver» (number 206) from the same album. For its part, Sueño Stereo reached 4th place among the 10 best Latin American rock albums according to Rolling Stone US in 2012, and number 41 on the 250 greatest Ibero-American rock albums according to Al Borde in 2006. The lyrics of «Zoom» use metaphor to describe a man's desire for a woman and the fantasies he experiences. Cerati himself explained in interviews that the song contains references to pornography in phrases such as «todos somos adictos», «estos juegos de artificio», «lo que seduce nunca suele estar» and «dame un zoom», the latter alluding to the type of shots characteristic of that cinematographic genre. This content appears both in a veiled form and with a certain degree of explicitness throughout various verses. From a musical standpoint, the piece opens with a square drum sound to which Charly Alberti adds a rhythmic pattern, followed by the entry of the bass played by Zeta Bosio. Cerati begins reciting the first verse at the 0:32 mark. At 1:17 he incorporates the acoustic guitar in E major, accompanying the second verse. Upon reaching the 1:58 mark, Bosio introduces the harmonica, and shortly after a keyboard solo marks the bridge of the song. The closing is dominated by the harmonica and a drum hit. Throughout the entire song, the harmonica riff, the guitars, and the drum claps drawn from «New York Groove» can be heard, a track by the British glam rock band Hello composed by Russ Ballard. A sample from Sparks is also used, taken from «This Town Ain't Big Enough for Both of Us», from which the organ that defines that song is recognizable. The music video was filmed on the grounds outside the Galileo Galilei Planetarium in Buenos Aires. The footage shows several teenagers kissing in the park while the band members play. Direction was handled by Chilean filmmaker José Muriente. Some time later, in 2005, «Zoom» was used in a commercial by the Chilean company VTR to promote its VTR On Demand service.
