Gracias Por Venir

Melendi's song "Gracias Por Venir" is a heartfelt reflection on the passage of time, love, and the journey of life. The lyrics open with a nostalgic look back at twenty years, filled with promises, full moons, and a cast of colorful characters like messiahs and gunslingers. The imagery of violinists on rooftops and celestial cats sets a whimsical yet poignant tone, suggesting a life rich with experiences and memories. The artist acknowledges the presence of someone special who has been by his side, whose mere smile has had a profound impact on him. This person has been a constant source of support and joy, making the journey worthwhile.

The recurring line, "Veinte años no son nada," emphasizes that despite the passage of two decades, there is still so much more to experience and live for. The phrase "Gracias por venir" serves as a heartfelt thank you to this significant other for being a part of his life. The song also touches on the idea that where there was once fire, there will always be ashes, symbolizing that past experiences and emotions leave a lasting impact. Melendi expresses a desire for eternal happiness, hoping that eternity will see them smiling together.

The song delves into the complexities of inspiration and creativity, with Melendi admitting that he still doesn't fully understand his muse, who visits him unpredictably. This muse, personified as a woman, leaves him in a state of confusion and longing, yet she is an integral part of his creative process. The lyrics also reflect on the inevitability of melancholy and the importance of cherishing memories, even those that are painful. Melendi acknowledges that while he may not have achieved mainstream accolades like Grammys, the love and support of his significant other are more than enough for him. The song concludes with a reaffirmation of their enduring bond, despite the challenges and demands of life, and a playful nod to the idea that they are still waiting for news from Holland, perhaps a metaphor for an elusive dream or goal.
