The Timeless Garden of Love
In "El Sitio De Siempre," Iñigo Quintero crafts a heartfelt ode to a love that feels both eternal and grounding. The song opens with the narrator expressing a sense of awe and fulfillment, having seen the world yet choosing their beloved above all else. This choice is not just a preference but a profound connection that makes the narrator feel larger than life, as if their partner's presence alone can make their skin tingle with excitement and emotion.
The lyrics delve into a longing for simplicity and innocence, a desire to return to a time when love was pure and uncomplicated, akin to childhood. This nostalgia is coupled with a yearning to share everything with their partner, to be vulnerable and open. The "sitio de siempre," or "the usual place," symbolizes a constant, a safe haven in the form of their partner's love, which is as nurturing and ever-present as a garden that remains lush and green, reminiscent of the narrator's homeland.
Quintero's lyrics also explore themes of admiration and aspiration. The narrator wishes to possess their partner's talent, to express their innermost feelings with the same grace and intensity. This admiration is so profound that it drives the narrator to imagine a life where they could love with abandon, run until breathless, and savor the silence shared with their beloved. The song beautifully captures the essence of a love that is both a refuge and an inspiration, a place where one feels truly seen and cherished.
