Breathe
By Yolanda Morales
Says Laura Ferrero: "You'll get over it, that's what they say. If not, you can always turn your pain into a song." Dulce knew that. However, she died sad, as I could hear in a commentary. Most people were hurt by her death. And it is that love songs that place sadness as the protagonist, where one always wants more than the other, make us epic defenders of love.
Dulce -who died a few days ago- with her privileged soprano voice, her sharp nose, her hair moving to the beat of all her movements, made us climb beyond love and reach that feeling that love always hurts a little more. Her songs should be a playlist called "Las de las de las relaciones rotas".
Because, what else are those songs that some of us used to sing when we were kids, with no rhyme or reason?
As a child, I played with my sister dancing in front of the television and had perhaps my first crush. With no idea that love doesn't have to hurt (at least not in that way) at that age I thought that was what love was: singing and singing until you run out of voice.
How did a five or eight year old girl sing "I'll be your lover or whatever I have to be, I'll be whatever you ask me to be"? I still don't know, I never heard the lyrics, I didn't even understand the title. I only knew that Dulce's voice, clear and sad, had the characteristic of those illusions that make you think about love.
Now, years later, Dulce has died and with her dies an era. Just like the clichés that mark us so much, those ideas about unrequited love die. Today we have other songs, although I don't know if they are better, I have my doubts, but they are different. Today we can talk about many subjects and write lyrics about whatever we want. Today, what is clear to me is that they would be better heard in Dulce's voice. I take her lesson with me: breakups and heartbreak are always a great creative force. Goodbye Dulce, goodbye to my idea of childhood love.
