1987

La Gusana Ciega's song '1987' is a poignant reflection on nostalgia and lost love. The lyrics transport the listener back to a magical night in December 1987, set in the vibrant Zona Rosa of the Caribbean. The protagonist recalls a serendipitous encounter with a woman at a club called Danzetería. The mutual attraction is palpable, as both characters are aware of each other's desires, creating an electric atmosphere of unspoken connection.

The song's chorus, 'Yo sabía que tú querías, tú sabías que yo,' emphasizes this mutual understanding and longing. However, the protagonist laments how those days are gone and will never return, highlighting the fleeting nature of such magical moments. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the night, from the music playing on the radio to the intimate moment shared in a parked car overlooking the city. This imagery evokes a sense of bittersweet nostalgia, as the protagonist reminisces about a time when everything felt perfect and full of potential.

As the song progresses, the protagonist reflects on how long it has been since they last thought about that night and how they would love to relive those moments. The repetition of the chorus underscores the deep emotional impact of this memory. '1987' captures the universal experience of looking back on a significant moment in one's life with a mix of fondness and regret, wishing for the impossible chance to go back and savor it once more.
