Some may say this song is cheesy since it is so basic and simple. For me simplicity equates beauty. It is not cheesy because it is simple, it is beautiful because it is simple. Life really is truly not difficult - people want to make it difficult. It is a hard trap to avoid and one I certainly fall prey at times. But when I see or hear or feel simplicity -- I know I am in the presence of beauty, profound and amazing. I listened to this song about a 100 times today - a change from my normal Carpenter's Sunday play list as of late but it elicits the same in me. I get down on myself a lot and I am very hard on myself often but as I enjoyed the incessant replaying of this song something struck me, in addition to its beauty, that made me feel good. I know Spanish fairly well - I understood every word of this song. I made that happen.
