Cauando Me Enamoro Love Song Analysis

Improved Essays
Love songs give us insight into the broader nature of love. Each song painting a particular picture about what it’s like to be in love or what it’s like to try to understand love,through the language of touch and time. Feeling the norms that underlie romantic love is like stepping onto a dance floor where love’s reality is socially defined and found amid the noise and haste. As the insider develops an individually sentimental rhythm of love as a dance, the lack of intersubjectivity leaves the emotionally deaf outsider unable to create a shared context, and thus, presumes love to be crazy. In this way love songs are personal and can only be understood by one’s own definition of the physical, perceptual, and behavioral symptoms of what love should …show more content…
In general, the psychological process of Hispanic culture emphasize, through music that is made up of majorly of love songs, how dedicating time to touch is the center of every psychological action. Though “Cuando Me Enamoro” by Enrique Iglesias and Juan Luis Guerra is solely talking about the process of being in love, when danced it it infact requires an immersion that is a perfect example of how the importance of affection, which compliments the flexibility of time as well as the physical closeness mentioned, is a universal norm as well as a rule of emotional display (Lecture 10/07/15) . Such flexibility of time however, is still a perceptual symptom in regards to the insider and outsider.
Cuando me enamoro (when I fall in love)
A veces desespero (sometimes I despair)
Cuando me enamoro (when I fall in love)
Cuando menos me lo espero,me enamoro(when I least expect it, that’s when I fall in love)
Se detiene el tiempo (time stops)
Me viene el alma al cuerpo (my soul enters my body)
Sonrío, cuando me enamoro (I smile, when I fall in love)

Though this is not a fast song to begin with, it is ongoing, despite the slowing down or halt of time the insider/ person in love feels when immersed within the world of

Told in a series of vignettes which help to build the bildungsroman notion in the work, much of what is explored is the idea of being born in both Hispanic and American settings.

Along these lines, the primary purpose presented helps to bring forth the idea of representation in literature is a critical element.…

    “Love is so elusive that it can seem like the quest to find it will never end.” —Anonymous. As humans, we know it exists because our surroundings displays it, but although the journey may be gloomy, we fall into the temptation of scrutinizing every corner of the earth in search of Love until one has reached a sense of contentment of what Love is about. Whether it is forced, a deceptive or authentic Love, it is still desired to feel the idea of the reputation of Love. The yearn of affection, reassurance, or even feeling wanted is humane and drives people to explore the different emotions it may cause. Zora Neale Hurston exhibits these examples in her novel Their Eyes Were Watching God.…

    Humans have always looked for the answer to finding happiness in life. For the majority of people, they believe that love will bring them this sense of happiness. In Barbara Fredrickson’s, “Selections from Love 2.0: How Our Supreme Emotion Affects Everything We Feel, Think, Do and Become,” she talks about how we see love in the wrong way and that we should start looking at love the way the body sees it. This change in perception of the definition of love allows people to have a better chance of obtaining love and having a better sense of self. With the conventional notions of love and relationships, love becomes more complex by giving people the sense of longing.…

    Equality is something that is perpetually strived for, but seldom achieved. In the novella The House On Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros, the protagonist, Esperanza, does not want to continue the cycle of inequality. Throughout the story, Esperanza continually sees women in her life treated like objects in a society that values women for their looks, and not for what is on the inside. In the thread of gender roles, a theme that is developed is that men do not treat women as their equals, but instead as something that can be possessed and dominated. This theme is developed throughout the stories Esperanza tells about her great-grandmother’s resentment of being a married woman, Rafaela’s lack of freedom in her marriage, and the troubles Minerva…

    In today’s society, most of the relationships presented in books, movies, TV shows, and other media are romantic in nature. However, “This Is Not a Love Song” by Brendan Mathews veers away from that normal occurrence. Although some of the relationships that are presented in the story are romantic, the main focus is on the constant friendship between the narrator and Kat, the subject of her many photographs. Mathews uses a unique and interesting sort of snapshot vignette style of writing that includes very specific and intentionally placed details, similar to the ideas presented in “The Writer’s Goal” by Guy de Maupassant. Maupassant’s ideas focus on using different literary techniques to show the reader exactly what the writer is trying to…

    “Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind, and therefore is winged Cupid painted blind” (1.1234-35). Love is an irrational emotion, able to change as quickly and suddenly of the wind. People, in the name of love, are willing to overlook much in order to rationalize the actions and words of the subject of their affection. A Midsummer Night’s Dream by William Shakespeare uses wild pansies, night, and dynamic relationships to portray differing definitions of romantic love as a passionate, sometimes, irrational force able to blind lovers to the reality of the world. The first definition of love given is love is the the conquered surrendering to the conqueror.…
