Joselo spent the first 9 years of his life in Minatitlán, Veracruz, until his family moved to Mexico D.F. were he studied industrial design in the UAM. During his youth he had various hobbies like comic books and design even though he decided music was his major pasion. While in college he met a person with a peculiar voice and extravagant ideas: Albarrán. They became best friends and with his brother Quique and Beto they formed a band called Alicia Ya No Vive Aquí (a tribute to Martin Scorsese's Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore).
Later on, with the arrival of Del Real the band became Café Tacvba with Rangel playing electric guitar, acoustic guitar and vocals. After 13 years with the band Rangel decided launch a solo side project. He has released two albums: the first, 2001's "Oso" (Bear), named after Joselo's childhood nickname; the second, titled "Lejos" (Far) in 2005.
No Me Importa
Joselo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
no me importa tanto como se ve
pero por que no decir
que se siente un poquito feo
que lo dejen a uno asi
como rez en el matadero
no me importa tanto como tu crees
no me importa tanto como se ve
que se sienten diezmil cuchillos
en la piel atravesar
cuando pienso en lo que me hizo
The lyrics of Joselo's song No me importa deal with the theme of emotional pain caused by someone's actions. The singer starts by stating that it doesn't matter as much as it seems, but goes on to express that it does feel a little bit unpleasant to be left in a vulnerable state, like a scared animal in a slaughterhouse. He admits that it doesn't matter as much as others may think or as it may appear, but he cannot ignore the fact that the pain is real and it hurts.
Furthermore, Joselo delves deeper into the theme of pain and hurt, admitting that he cannot help feeling like he's being stabbed with ten thousand knives when he thinks about what was done to him. This is a very intense and powerful image that invites the listeners to empathize with the singer and understand the extent of his pain. Overall, the song is a plea for understanding and empathy, as well as an acknowledgment of the fact that even though the pain may not matter to others, it is still very real for the person experiencing it.
