Review

Alex mentions in this song that life is unpredictable, so we need to be careful, and in difficult moments, we should remember the good times because that can give us the strength to go on.

No explicit themes. 

It is an average pace song. It makes you think.

Spanish Learners can learn with this one to use imperatives as the majority of this piece is advised by Alex. Also, they could learn past verbs, typically dull to learn with a list, so a song that uses them is better.

The video shows Alex singing at night and some guys reacting when the light goes out. Instead of being on the computer, others get together with their friends and have fun. For example, one of them takes advantage of it and looks for candles and a good book to read.
