Review

La Oreja de Van Gogh is rock-pop band from San Sebastian, Spain. They are a longstanding group who formally started their career in 1996, however, their songs and lyrics have transcended into all spaces and all ages. Their music never gets old and they have great songs like Rosas, La Playa, 20 de Enero around others.

Their music has reached Europe, the USA, Latin-American, even Japan, and Israel. They had done concerts even in a country where Spanish is not the main language like France and The UK.

They had won Latin Grammys, MTV Europe Music Awards, Viña del Mar Awards, among others. Their style is unique and the lyrics of the songs touch the heart of the listener every time. their music does not have strong themes instead they are full of romantic and vivid experiences for all ages.

Rosas, translated as Roses is a song about love and illusion, a girl who falls in love with a magnificent person. They met each other by chance on a random day, he looked at her and their love story started. Sadly, after six months of romantic relationships he just confronted her and said goodbye, hearing his excuses she was left with her heart in hand, however, she doesn’t lose her hope about seeing him again, waiting for the day he would return to the same place where they met the first time.

It is a beautiful yet sad song that may make you remind some relationship you could have in the past. A wonderful person who came into your life gave great meaning and happiness to you and then just one day disappeared without further explanation.

La Oreja de Van Gogh is a great band and if you want to keep in touch with them please consider checking their social media and their website for more info.
