L'art de Viure

Els Catarres' song "L'art de Viure" is a poetic exploration of love, freedom, and the beauty of living in the moment. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of two souls finding each other amidst life's small sins and random miracles. The imagery of being 'color of sea water' and a 'seed that grows tenaciously' suggests a natural, organic connection that is both resilient and boundless. The metaphor of a bird flying high symbolizes the freedom that love brings, unencumbered by doubts or societal constraints.

The chorus emphasizes that living close to a loved one is akin to returning to one's origins with a pure spirit. This suggests that true love brings out the most authentic and untainted version of oneself. The idea of believing in the impossible, as seen in the line 'that shines in your eyes,' speaks to the transformative power of love, making the unimaginable seem attainable. The song's title, "L'art de Viure," or "The Art of Living," encapsulates this sentiment, portraying love as an essential, almost artistic, aspect of life.

The song also touches on the fleeting nature of time and the importance of cherishing every moment. The imagery of lights and fireworks exploding around a 'wild heart' conveys a sense of urgency and passion. The lyrics 'as if there were no tomorrow' and 'rules have changed' suggest a break from conventional norms, advocating for a life lived fully and authentically. The closing lines, where the singer vows to write the first verse but leaves the ending to the loved one, symbolize a shared journey where both partners contribute to the story of their lives.
