The product: a blend of jazz and rock that was unseen in Argentina and that escaped the boom of symphonic rock that reached both the world and Argentina in the early 1980s. These four albums, Alma de Diamante (1980), Los Niños que Escriben en el Cielo (1981), Bajo Belgrano (a homage to the neighbourhood where he grew up, 1983) and the unforgettable Madre en Años Luz (1984), represent a defined style as well as the footprints of Spinetta's evolution. Towards the last two albums, the sound became a little bit more "pop", and embedded with electronic elements (samplers and synthesisers with "artificial" textures). Something worth remarking: the overpowering influence and fame of Spinetta in the Argentinian rock world was only equalled by that of Charly García. Many fans and critics shared the feeling that the two musicians represented antagonistic styles and values. To show otherwise, Spinetta and Charly (with their respective bands at the moment, Jade and Serú Giran) joined efforts and gave what was probably the most important show in the history of Argentine Rock.

Vida Siempre
Spinetta Jade Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ademán
de tocar tu piel
resplandor
dulce contraluz
las desdichas del mundo no están
quiero entrar donde espera el sol.

Vida siempre así

trastocando mi ser
despertándome
vida siempre tan sola
siempre espera,
vida siempre
siempre es amanecer.

Oración
derredor de luz
abismal lago de quietud,
las noticias no penetra aquí
es todo piel y honestidad,

Vida siempre así
trastocando mi piel
conociendome
conociendo la suerte de los días.
Vida siempre
es amanecer.

Y quien sabrá
que fue tu corazón
el que la guerra frenó
y quien dirá
que al despertar no suele verte
¡no puede ser!...

Ademán de tocar tu piel
tornasol
dulce resplandor

las noticias no penetran aquí
es todo piel y honestidad.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Spinetta Jade's song "Vida Siempre" express the desire to escape from the troubles of the world and find solace in the purity and honesty of life. The singer longs to touch the skin of their loved one and bask in the sweet counterlight that radiates from them. They feel that in the presence of their lover, the misfortunes of the world are left behind, and they can enter a realm where the sun awaits. The repetition of "vida siempre" reinforces the idea that life is constantly changing, transforming the singer's being, and showing them the fate of the days. The prayer-like stanza with its abyssal lake of stillness suggests a meditative state, where the singer is seeking wisdom and serenity. The reference to the heart that stopped the war and the longing to see the loved one again upon waking up, evoke the theme of love as a force that transcends conflict and separation.
