Northwind - pre SoléThis is a song that is composed and recorded before Solé existed. Andrés has done a lot of composing, starting when he was 16 with his first rock band "Arkaos". But his composing really took off when he was in a duo called "August". In 1997 he and a friend travelled around Europe for six months with two guitars and wrote about 50 songs. Since it was all acoustic guitars and vocal harmonies it was mostly quite mellow stuff. And this song, though written in 2002, is very much in the style of "August". The lyrics of this song are very much about living in Sweden, where the cold north wind blows most of the year. |

Anzuelo Anzuelo is a song that Andrés wrote the 13th of August 2002, originally called "La tuerquita". He now confesses what the song is all about. "The inspiration for this song is a frustration that I have had to deal with having moved to Sweden mixed with my eternal admiration of female beauty. Growing up in Colombia one is used to being treated with human warmth, even by strangers. Someone walks by you on the street and there is an eye contact that can simply mean hello, an acknowledgment of your presence. Or it can be a look of curiosity, a flirt, a respectful admiration, a gald 'have a nice day' or whatever, but a warmth and human contact. |

When I first moved to Sweden
I was shocked by the fact that people walking down the street do not make
eye contact. There is even a cultural joke that when a Swede sees someone
they know walking towards them, they cross to the other side of the street
to avoid having to make eye contact. So walking around the streets of Gothenburg,
being totally ignored by all these beautiful women caused in me a great
deal of frustration. In my head, I thought they considered themselves too
good for me. I then came to learn that it is usually due to insecurities
and fears and an absurd but long standing cultural tradition of not making
eye contact with stranger. So in my head, I turned the situation around
and created a song in which all these models were after me and I would totally
ignore them. So why would they possibly be after me? So that is why in the
song I am a rock star. And what would possibly allow me to ignore a totally
gorgeous babe who is after me? If she is an airhead. I have never really
been interested in a woman who has little brains. To fall in love with someone,
I need to admire them, and their mind is essential in that case. The song
is playful and light, because although the topic is actually based on pain
and quite deep thoughts about myself and relationships, I didn't want to
make it heavy. I wanted to make it a joke and be able to laugh at myself.
I'm not a rock star yet, so I still have to sing it with a gleam in the
eye." |
