Review

Jorge Drexler is an Uruguayan composer and singer with a long professional career linked to music and the arts. During his career, he has recorded thirteen studio albums and given concerts worldwide. During this time his work has been awarded an Oscar (2005), five Latin Grammy's (2014, 2018), a Goya (2011), and a Silver Biznaga, among other recognitions. A doctor by training, in 1995 he decided to leave his life in Uruguay behind and travel to Spain to dedicate himself fully to music and composition.

In the video, we can see the singer playing this song in a live format.

The lyrics talk about seeing the beauty in the now, enjoying and falling in love with the process rather than just working to get the job done. It´s almost a philosophical dare to anyone who listens to the song.
