                                Lyrical Analysis 

When it comes to picking a favorite song, I don’t have one because I listen to various types of artists from different genres. However, there’s this song that I cannot forget to listen which is

 “ Amar Y Queder “ by Jose Jose. Jose Jose is a  Mexican artists ( one of the legends ) who’s known for his talented voice and died two days ago ( Sept. 28 at age 71 ).  In his song, “ Amar Y Queder “ he portrays a melancholic love tone to captivated the audience and make some audience tear down. The lyrics that stood out the most is “ Casi todos sabemos querer . . . pero pocos sabemos amar. “ In other words  “ Almost all of us know how to cared but very few know how to love with a never ending relationship. This stood out for me because the words reminded me of my parents who love me and do anything to keep me safe, happy, and have all the resources I need. The word “ Amar “ related to those who you build relationships in school, job, and couple relationship ( not every couple relationship ). Beside the analysis of the song, this song has memories of my childhood and other special events that all of my family where gathered together.
