Rock'n'roll

Els Catarres' song 'Rock'n'roll' is a vibrant celebration of freedom, adventure, and the unrestrained spirit of rock music. The lyrics paint a picture of leaving behind the familiar, symbolized by Montseny, a mountain range in Catalonia, and embarking on a journey filled with endless roads and musical passion. The phrase 'carretera i manta' (road and blanket) evokes a sense of nomadic freedom, while the guitar and simple chords represent the raw, unpolished essence of rock'n'roll.

The song's chorus is a heartfelt tribute to a special someone, whose smile lights up the night. This person is described as 'salvatge' (wild) and 'Catarra,' a term that not only refers to the band's name but also suggests a shared identity and rebellious spirit. The repetition of this chorus emphasizes the deep connection and mutual understanding between the singer and the subject of the song.

Els Catarres also touch on the fleeting nature of life, urging listeners to make each day unique and to not get lost in trivial details. The call to sing with full force, despite the world's imperfections, is a powerful reminder to embrace life's beauty and chaos. The song encapsulates the essence of rock'n'roll as a force that transcends the mundane, bringing people together through shared experiences and emotions.
