Comunicando

Papa Levante's song 'Comunicando' delves into the frustrations and complexities of modern communication. The repetitive and rhythmic 'neu neu neu' sounds mimic the incessant and often futile attempts to connect with someone over the phone. This repetition sets the tone for the song, emphasizing the cyclical nature of trying to reach out and the constant interruptions that prevent meaningful communication.

The lyrics describe the protagonist's experience of trying to connect with someone from Monday to Thursday, only to be met with obstacles. The phrase 'no me busques, no me llames, no te asustes, no se puede' (don't look for me, don't call me, don't be scared, it's not possible) highlights the barriers and the sense of helplessness in these attempts. The 'llamada enmascarada' (masked call) that 'ni suena luego calla ya se enciende ya se apaga' (doesn't ring, then goes silent, then lights up, then turns off) symbolizes the erratic and unreliable nature of these interactions.

The song also touches on the anticipation and disappointment that come with these failed attempts. The protagonist wonders who is calling and what they want, only to be left in confusion and frustration. The lines 'no no no no no no sé qué me pasó y una vez que me contesta y una vez que se cortó' (I don't know what happened, once they answered, once it got cut off) capture the fleeting moments of connection that are quickly lost. The repeated 'ya ya ya ya te llamaré, ya me llamarás, seguramente que' (I'll call you, you'll call me, surely) reflects the hope and uncertainty that persist despite the challenges.

'Comunicando' is a vivid portrayal of the dance of communication in the digital age, where technology both connects and disconnects us. It captures the emotional rollercoaster of trying to reach out, the anticipation of connection, and the inevitable frustrations that come with it.
