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.
Sale El Sol
Canseco Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que ya no puedes mas
Que en Puebla hace frio y te empiezas a acordar
Te acuerdas de Marimar pidiendo terrenos cantando la misma cancion
Tu viajas solo en metro oyendo musica
El frio trae nostalgia y te empiezas a acordar
Te acuerdas del invierno en tu carro no conoci otro mas frio
Soy tu amigo hasta el fin
Aunque este lejos de ti
Sale el sol y todo sale bien
Y desde que me acuerdo, siempre te vi triunfar
Me acuerdo que decias ke el mundo iba a cambiar
Te acuerdas de los sitios de alcohol tirando cerveza por todo el balcon
Soy tu amigo hasta el fin
Aunque este lejos de ti
Sale el sol y todo sale bien
Soy tu amigo hasta el fin
Y este trago es para ti
Sale el sol y todo sale bien, bien
The lyrics to Canseco's song "Sale el Sol" paint a picture of a person who is feeling lonely and nostalgic. The song opens with the person expressing how alone they feel and how they can't take it anymore, while also mentioning the cold weather in Puebla. The lyrics then allude to a person named Marimar who used to ask for land while singing the same song. The mention of Marimar seems to be a nostalgic reference to a simpler time in the person's life when things were more carefree.
Next, the song continues with the person traveling alone on the metro while listening to music. The cold weather brings back memories of winters in their car, which they say was the coldest they ever experienced. Then the chorus repeats, with Canseco saying he "is your friend until the end" even if they are far apart. He also reminds the person that everything will be okay when the sun rises.
The second verse of the song talks about the person's past successes and how they said the world would change. The lyrics then mention memories of places where alcohol was served, and beer was thrown from balconies. Overall, the song seems to be a poignant reflection on the past and how even when life gets tough, one can always rely on friends and the hope that things will get better.
