Barcelona
D. Kay & Epsilon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
See anytime I hear this tune I just start drifting away
And all I wanna do is go back
Sometimes I feel like I'm in Barcelona
See anytime I hear this tune I just start drifting away
Sometimes I, I feel like I don't know what's going on
And sometimes I'm led to believe everything I know is wrong
And always keeping the truth it's all in my mind
Explanations for the way that I feel
Are so hard to find
That's why that's why
Sometimes I feel like I'm in Barcelona
See anytime I hear this tune I just start drifting away
And all I wanna do is go back, go back
Sometimes I feel like I'm in Barcelona
See anytime I hear this tune I just start drifting away
And all I wanna do is go back back
(And all I wanna do is go)
(And all I wanna do is go back)
I feel (like)
I feel
I feel (like)
Like I wanna go back, like I gotta go back
I feel (like)
Said I feel
Like I wanna go back, like I gotta go back
Each time I decide these feelings can't keep going on, no no
It's just a matter of time before they come back twice as strong
Sometimes I feel like I'm in Barcelona
See anytime I hear this tune I just start drifting away
And all I wanna do is go back back back
Sometimes I feel like I'm in Barcelona
See anytime I hear this tune I just start drifting away
And all I wanna do is go back, go back
Sometimes I feel like I'm in Barcelona
See anytime I hear this tune I just start drifting away
And all I wanna do is go back, back
Sometimes I feel like I'm in Barcelona
Sometimes I feel like I'm in Barcelona
See anytime I hear this tune I just start drifting away
The lyrics to D. Kay & Epsilon's song "Barcelona" describe the powerful effect that music can have on our emotions and memories. The singer of the song expresses a deep longing to return to the city of Barcelona, which is brought on every time they hear a particular tune. The lyrics suggest that this connection to the city is rooted in some kind of important experience or memory, but it's not entirely clear what that might be. The song also deals with more existential themes, such as the difficulty of understanding one's own emotions and the struggle to discern reality from fantasy.
The repetition of the phrase "Sometimes I feel like I'm in Barcelona" anchors the song and creates a strong sense of nostalgia and wistfulness. The singer's desire to "go back" is both a literal impulse to return to Barcelona and a metaphorical longing to recapture something lost or forgotten. The lyrics also suggest a sense of alienation and confusion, as the singer struggles to make sense of their feelings and reconcile them with what they know to be true.
Overall, the song is a powerful representation of the way that music can transport us to different times and places, evoke intense emotional responses, and help us make sense of our own experiences and emotions.

@freelancer2011
Distribution/territorial rights, sadly. I used to work for a streaming service. Sometimes, I learnt thru their news they can even stipulate the type of availability (stream or download-to-keep for X amount of time). Agreements can last a long time. -You get a glimpse of this if you look at certain albums (esp. albums with various artists), some songs may be greyed-out. If it's greyed out, it means that song is not available in your territory under Service X.
@taridean
It's almost criminal that it's not available to stream. I'm glad I still have it on vinyl that I bought when it was initially released. "Get rid of your record collection and embrace digital" they said. Thank goodness I ignored that.

I like to remember how I cried on the shoulder of Stamina MC. We were drunk after a couple of shots after a private party for friends. I told him how his music affected me when I was a high school student. He cried too, "No one, no one, no woman has ever said anything touching to me like you just told me". The manager, party owner, my friends and guests stood beside us trying to soothe our tears 😂. But they didn't understand us. My shoulder was soaking wet. Moscow, summer 2016.
