Feliz Año Nuevo

A sad card with festive glitter around the edges.

It seems to say ‘Feliz año nuevo,’ but behind the greeting hides a crumpled ball of loneliness: a calendar with dates crossed out with a cross - Christmas, 14 February, birthday. All holidays are equally grey when there is no one to share the cake and candles with.

There is anger, melancholy, and an attempt to joke about ‘más solo que un perro,’ but in reality, there is a desire to bring back, even for a moment, the warmth that once was. The result is a congratulatory track with a hangover flavour: formally ‘Happy New Year,’ but in essence, an admission that it is impossible to forget.
