Before he had a big successful music career Jose Manuel Figueroa (Joan Sebastian's legal name) passed most of his childhood from place to place. At age eight he was sent away by his parents to Guanajuato for school. When he was eleven he return to Juliantla, his native town, this return inspired him to begin formally composing. But he was sent off again to a monastery in Morelos where he was under the care of father David Salgado. Due to the influence Father Salgado had on Sebastian he took the decision of becoming a priest. So at age 14 he enrolled in the Seminario Conciliar de San Jose(located in Cuernavaca, Morelos). But he soon realized that music was his true calling so when he was 17 years old he abandoned the seminary to dedicate himself completely to the music business.
Meanwhile he made a living as an administrative assistant in a vacationing resort in Oaxtepec, Morelos, where he would sing through the intercom. It was in that resort that Sebastian found the incentive he needed to pursue his singing dream more aggressively. The year was 1968 when Joan Sebastian encountered Angélica María (a famous Mexican actress) who was looking for a place to stay. While she waited she asked him if he sang and the following day he sang for her six songs. Angélica María suggested to Sebastian that he record the songs and gave him the telephone number of Eduardo Magallanes, a music producer. Without hesitating Sebastian moved to Mexico City and began knocking on doors until Chucho Rincon from Discos Capitals agreed to listen to him and thus began Sebastian's artistic career. He recorded his first disc and the positive results came fast when in Ciudad Obregón, Sonora, the song "Descartada" sold 12 thousand copies. previous. His most recent production up to date is "Secreto de Amor" which was released in 2000 and sold over 1 million copies.

He was awarded "The Silver Pen Award" in 2000, and was named el jefe

Joan Sebastian Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que ahora qui siera vivir algo peor y asi, a si
No fueras lo mas frustrante que he vivido en el amor
Te amaba mucho que digo mucho, te amaba
Todo lo que un alma puede amar
Y me degaste una pena florecida que un buen amor
al fin me pudo deshojar
Amar como te ame, como si no fueras de
Carne y huso
Amar como te ame oy lo confieso es un pecado
y se que ofende a Dios
Te amaba tanto deveras tanto
Oy que lo pienso dicil es creer cuanto te amaba
Te idolatraba y tu gozabas con hacerme padeser
Te amaba mucho que digo mucho
Te amaba todo lo que un alma puede amar
Y me degaste una pena florecida que un buen
Amor al fin me pudo desojar
Amar como te ame, como si no fueras
De carne y hueso
Amar como te ame oy lo confieso es un
Pecado y se que ofende a Dios
Amar como te ame, como si no fueras
De carne y hueso
Amar como te ame hoy lo confieso es un
Pecado y se que ofende a Diooos
The song "Amar Como Te Ame" by Joan Sebastian is a passionate and melancholic love song about a love that was so intense that it borders on being a sin. The lyrics suggest that the singer loved someone dearly, to the point where it was unhealthy and caused great pain. The opening verses express the depth of his love for this person, which he now wishes he could live without. He says that this love has been the most frustrating thing he has experienced and has left him with a bloomed sorrow. However, at the same time, he acknowledges that he loved this person deeply, even more than an average human soul can love.
The chorus repeats the phrase "Amar como te ame," which means "to love like I loved you." He confesses that this love was a sin, offending God himself. The lyrics then go on to describe how much he idolized this person, even though they enjoyed seeing him suffer. Overall, the song is a lament about a love he cannot physically live without, yet the intensity of which was ultimately destructive.
