Review

When you are an adult there are days when you sit and think about your younger self. You start to reflex on the things you did, the decisions you took, and the friends you had and no longer are by your side. You think about everything and normally you will be filled with strong different emotions. “Caja” by Laura Pausini is a song that describes perfectly these moments in your life and the lyrics fit perfectly with what we feel. 

“Caja” is a song made to relax you and made you think about the beautiful things of life. The lyrics speak about Laura Pausini’s past and childhood, showing us in the video clip a younger version of her doing things in her room, dancing, listening to music, and dreaming about the future, without knowing she will end up being a recognized singer all around the world.

In terms of learning this song is perfect for someone who needs relaxation while studying Spanish. Laura Pausini's voice while singing is slow so you won’t have problems understanding the beautiful lyrics, there are no difficult sentences but just a few poetic phrases that aren’t difficult at all. You can practice with this song your pronunciation and your listening skills, one of the most important things when you are learning Spanish is the capacity to understand the spoken language since it will give a better idea of conversation context and moods and the interlocutor's intention.

If you loved “Caja” by Laura Pausini, be sure to check her Instagram account where she posts most of its content and news. If you feel like practicing your Spanish a little more, another great song to continue after this one is “Amores Extraños” also by Laura Pausini.
