Meneo - Erás Tú (from his new EP “Larele” on PlayGround)

Taken from his breakdown of the tracks on the EP (full article):

4. Eres Tú

Eso de proyectar sabrosura todo el rato puede ser un gran dolor de cojones. Este tema salió como una confesión personal, ya que normalmente toco alrededor de 70 veces por año y nunca estoy en un lugar lo suficiente como para pillar confianza. Ha sido todo un proceso el aprender a estar solo, a apreciar el momento y a quienes te ofrecen su compañía. La parte movida de este track es un merengue futurista que interpreto en mi cabeza como una ultra-fiesta, el momento de estar rodeado de gente en un ritual de alegría. Luego la parte del dubstep es el bajón mismo, esa resaca emocional al día siguiente, momento en que vuelves a dejar todo atrás y empiezas de nuevo.

A rough translation by yours truly:

4. Eras Tú

Bringing the party all the time can be a giant pain in the ass. This track came up as a sort of personal confession since I normally play around 70 times a year and I’m never in the same place long enough to build up confidence with someone. It’s been a huge learning process trying to learn to be on my own, live in the moment and be grateful for the people who do come along for the ride. The upbeat part of this track is a future merengue that I think of as a huge party, that moment when you’re surrounded by people in a happy ritual. The dubstep part is the comedown, that next-day emotional hangover, the moment where you once again leave everything behind and start fresh.

Nobody could put it better.
