Mucho Mejor (Hace Calor)

Andrés Calamaro's song 'Mucho Mejor (Hace Calor)' is a vibrant and evocative piece that captures the essence of desire and the yearning for connection. The repeated phrase 'Hace Calor' which translates to 'It's hot,' sets the stage for a song that is as much about the physical heat as it is about the heat of passion. The lyrics speak of waiting for someone to sing his song, a metaphor for longing for a deep and personal connection with another person. The mention of opening a bottle and making love on the balcony paints a picture of intimate and spontaneous romance.

The heart is described as a healthy muscle that needs action, suggesting a desire for excitement and dynamic experiences in life and love. The singer asks for both peace and war, and a 'sweet high,' indicating a craving for the full spectrum of emotions and experiences. The song's chorus, with its references to sweetness like wine and saltiness like the sea, hints at the complex and multifaceted nature of love and relationships. The singer's plea to be saved from loneliness underscores the universal human need for companionship and the fear of isolation.

The latter part of the song introduces a slightly controversial element with the mention of the subject being underage, which could imply a forbidden or risky aspect to the relationship. The lyrics suggest a non-traditional relationship, as they speak of going to a hotel and dining out, but never walking down the aisle together. This could reflect a commitment to living in the moment and enjoying the pleasures of life without the constraints of conventional expectations. Overall, 'Mucho Mejor (Hace Calor)' is a song that celebrates the fervor of love and the pursuit of happiness, even if it means breaking some societal norms.
