Igual que ayer – Vacaciones I’ll have posted the whole album on here soon enough, even filler songs like this one. This is a very slight song. However, unlike the other songs on the album that are beautiful in their slightness, boiled down to a perfect essence, this song is a nothing idea in style [...]

Emmaboda

Emmaboda – Vacaciones Alright. Every Vacaciones song i have had in my head until now has been from their first album Sonreir, and finally here is one from their follow up. It’s hard not to use this for demonstration purposes as to why that album is a little disappointing. You can see the difference. These [...]
Premio De Consolación

Premio de consolación – Vacaciones Every Vacaciones song i’ve posed bar one has been from Sonreir, and that one was a cover. It figures. It probably is one of my favourite albums of all time, but that favour has come at the expense of everything else they have done, including their other album Emmaboda. I [...]
Espero Una Respuesta

Espero una respuesta – Vacaciones Another song that has come up before and will certainly come up again. There’s an advantage with this song as there’s more than one version, so i can pretend i’m adding something of value by posting another Espero Una Respuesta, the only talking point being that it’s slightly different. It [...]
Quiero Algo Más

Quiero algo más – Vacaciones Not all of them can be hits. I believe this the definition of album filler, which is sad because if Vacaciones decided somewhere along the line to omit it completely any difference it would have made would be a positive one. It fills nothing. It is more an album obstruction. [...]
Quiero Algo Más

Quiero algo más – Vacaciones To prove that not all Vacaciones songs are great and some just merely good, there are songs like Quiero Algo Más. There are a few lesser Vacaciones songs, seeming lesser in relation to the perfect songs that surround them. This letdown of a song, bookended by Volverás and Unas Veces [...]
Premio De Consolación

Premio de consolación – Vacaciones The melody is already plainly perfect, so how do Vacaciones make it even better? Through structure. Trimming everything inessential to keep nothing but perfection falling upon our ears. It’s like the movie Breathless in song form. Jump cuts. The way it jumps right halfway from the first turnaround of the [...]
Poppy Girl

Poppy girl – Vacaciones This is a great song, but there is one thing and that is the title. I’m fine with it, but its use and the way it is sung i imagine could be grating to some. See, i’m sensitive to how things i love are received by others. Anyway, if i were [...]
Unas Veces Sí Y Otras No

Unas veces sí y otras no – Vacaciones Sometimes yes, sometimes no. I think. If it is, i’m pretty sure it’s an indetermination applicable to matters of the heart. This is their Canon in D song. Vacaciones! I mean, ¡Vacaciones!
En Verano

En verano – Vacaciones Even though i believe Vacaciones wholly capable of writing such a song, i have a feeling this is a cover. If so, i wish i knew who it was by. Vacaciones have a knack for covering songs by people i love (Lio, France Gall, Heavenly), and i’m always happy and ready [...]
