Let´s see. Let´s see. How do I start writing about someone who, in spite of; every effort, all the Black Metal you’ve ever heard, all the drugs you consumed, all the countries you´ve visited, all people you’ve met and all books and statements you’ve read, un-fortunately, has shaped your sentimental life for as long as you can remember, because come on, let´s face it, your parents listened to Julio so loud, that the sound winded up at your room.
Although, you could probably say that your parents only listened to Triana; were hippies and had the vinyls of the Ramones, you cannot deny that you heard Julio Iglesias and it made you feel a bit more romantic: you didn’t walk, you flew with Julio.
Before continuing, let´s review “One day you, one day me” from the classic album Emotions (1979). An energetic, three-minute disco-style song, in which Julio is the Spanish “Travolta”, that made you dance as a wild tigress while wearing your favorite flared trousers and platforms shoes. “You are like that, I´m like you. To love like this, to hate each other, and then to die for love” I love to hate you Julio. But apart of make you dance, he hypnotizes you, try listening to the song wearing headphones, when the girls finish singing the chorus, there is an oscillation effect in the same style of Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze or Kluster. And it was the perfect time. If I could do a remix I would raise such effects. Imagine; Julio was not only sexy, he was also cutting edge. Uh?
That album also has classics like “I forgot to live” a top song in thousands of radio stations on the globe dedicated to secretaries, housewives and sinful women. That reminded me that once, during an interview in a famous talk show, Julio Iglesias, was asked about how many women he had ever slept with, he simply smiled and, knowing very well his audience, said, I can not remember … the audience, who were 99% women, shouted in excitement, practically saying that this gentleman had every right to sleep with them all.
But let´s suppose that I decided to publically say that I have lost track of all the men I´ve broken my bed with, while doing bondage, because that what I do, I accept it, Wouldn’t this make me look as a cheap whore? Come on Julio! Give me a break! And worst than that; come on girls! An icon is eclipsed with his generation and disappears. Of course, he left his tracks and recordings, but they are only memories of his legacy, which are mainly customs of the specific period of time in which he was famous.
I mean, if you love Elvis, you probably put gel on your hair. But what does Julio want by coming back? And look, I have no trouble with the nations, territories; I don’t care if all flags are burned, but if we return to the classic “Quijote” from the album Moments (1982), if already signed a contract with CBS, there is another disco-dancing classic, if we go back to your video and destroy it, there is a whiff of dictatorship that I don´t know, really… Check it out and let me know
SISTER RAY
But hey, my intelligence has made me reject everything that my emotions were ordered because of my parents, but if I pause my understanding, I dream that I was dreaming your love Julio, that is why it´s worth to find Barcelona accommodation from the 19th to the 22nd of May and go to see this senior, before he dies, do it for your parents and then tell them, they will be happy.
