Review

The song "Hasta que la Música se Acabe" by Amaral celebrates living in the present and embracing life's fleeting moments. The lyrics juxtapose nostalgic memories (e.g., "¿Te acuerdas del día / En que te conocí?") with a defiant call to dance and let go ("Es mejor bailar / Y dejar que nos arrastren"). The narrator rejects poetic formalities to express emotions ("Para decirte lo que quiero / No necesito poesía"), emphasizing raw, unfiltered connection. The repeated refrain "Hasta que la música se acabe" symbolizes resilience against life’s impermanence, framing music as a metaphor for enduring joy and unity .

The track blends bittersweet nostalgia with euphoric release. Eva Amaral’s raspy, emotive vocals anchor the song in a reflective yet urgent tone, while layered guitars and dynamic percussion build a soundscape reminiscent of communal gatherings. The narrative shifts between personal memories (e.g., shared moments in Zaragoza) and universal themes of impermanence, creating a duality of intimacy and collective energy. The climactic bridge ("Pero hoy estamos juntos / Frente al río, en Zaragoza") merges geographical specificity with timeless emotion, reflecting the band’s signature fusion of poetic lyricism and rock intensity .

The song goes on existential themes of time, memory, and liberation. Its tone balances melancholy ("Yo he cambiado / Tantas veces de ciudad") with defiance, underscored by a mix of pop-rock rhythms and folk-inspired instrumentation. References to Nirvana and "Psychocandy" nod to 1990s alternative influences, while the lyrical structure—eschewing a traditional chorus—mirrors the chaotic beauty of life’s unpredictability.
