9 Spanish Love Songs That Make You Wish You Were Latino

2. Tres Semanas http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-zUjg7WCuU Sometimes, the best love songs are the least pleasant ones. (Reference Train's "Ways to Say You Died" here.) Our next entry is the one that I relate to because of what happened to the "Por Ti" guy, the first guy I ever seriously loved. He turned out to be the kind of crazy got him professional help and a restraining order, but that's only half the story with him. I told him one day that I would be back from vacation in a week and never came back. Friends and family made sure I never had to see him again. The legal papers went into why this was happening to him, but I never got to talk to him about it. I never got to say that I was sorry for having to leave him. So when I came across this song with a man who misses some of the things that a woman did to him just because it would have meant he could see her again, I related. Best Bits: "Three weeks have passed already and my faith escaped out the window" "I searched for you where they told me they've seen you And your absence greets me "At the beginning you sought me a little and that evil, how well it consoled me You have disappeared from me like water between my hands It's only been three weeks And I feel that many years have passed.."

That's Kaki pronounced like the pants, thank you very much, my family nickname and writing name. I am a Red Sox-loving, Doctor Who-quoting, Shaara-reading walking string quartet of a Mormon writer from Boston. I currently work 40 hours at a stressful desk job with a salary that lets me pick up and travel to places like Ireland or Philadelphia. I have no husband or kids, but I have five nephews to keep me entertained. When not writing, working or eating too much Indian food, I'm always looking for something new to learn, whether it's French or family history.
