When it came to it, there was only one approach in order to create the sound that they had in mind for what it would turn out to be "El Tiempo y la Ciudad" ("The Time and The City"). That was to grab a van and start an epic journey from Tijuana all the way to Eudora, Kansas, drenching themselves in roads, landscapes, sunsets and songs.
Produced by Robb McLean from Limbeck and mixed by Ed Rose (Motion City Soundtrack, Get Up Kids, Reggie and the Full Effect), the twelve tracks that compose this album.
Sólo Quiero
Canseco Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
En la ciudad no hay un solo ruido
Solo se oye... un carro pasar
Prendo un cigarro el que tu me diste
Mi mano
Mi celular
Te conoci un 9 de noviembre
Un dia despues fui tuyo por siempre
Un dia antes nunca imagine
Y ahora soñe mi boda contigo
El viento juega con tu vestido
En la arena las huellas quedan
Y que puedo hacer
Si solo quiero escribirte a ti
Y que puedo hacer
Si solo quiero cantarte a ti
Ahora soñe mi boda contigo,
Ahora soñe mi boda contigo
En la arena
Nunca imagine
Y que puedo hacer
Si solo quiero escribirte a ti
Y que puedo hacer
Si solo quiero cantarte a ti
Y que puedo hacer
Si solo quiero escribirte a ti
Y que puedo hacer
Si solo quiero cantarte a ti
Cantarte a ti
Cantarte a ti
The lyrics to Canseco's "Solo Quiero" reflect the lingering emotional attachment that the singer still holds for their past love interest. The opening lines indicate that the singer has left their anxiety behind with their former partner, indicating that they may have relied heavily on their relationship for emotional stability. The next line, "En la ciudad no hay un solo ruido" ("In the city, there's not a single sound"), suggests that the singer is now finding themselves in a quiet and lonely place since their breakup.
The singer then reflects on memories of their time with their former love, lighting a cigarette given to them by their ex and replaying conversations they had. The specific date of their meeting, November 9th, is mentioned, highlighting the significance of this day in their relationship. The lines "Un dia despues fui tuyo por siempre / Un dia antes nunca imagine" ("One day later I was forever yours / One day earlier, I never imagined") further emphasize how quickly the singer fell for their former partner and how unexpected it was.
