about

This song makes me cry a lot. It makes me think about my friend Michael Curcio. He killed himself on April Fools 2013. It still fucks me up really bad to this day. His birthday was just the other day, he would have been 26. I dedicated and wrote most of the last Love Club record to him. He was definitely a big muse for me, bouncing ideas off of him or just waiting to hear his feedback on stuff I’d done was motivation to keep going.

In the verses Lora describes a person who you share the same environment, growing up, taking separate paths, and then finding each other again one day.

The chorus:
Rolling stones will find each other, and you and I will know how…
Meanwhile, take care, and god bless, and don’t do anything I wouldn’t do…

Writing it out in English makes it sound cheesy - like it normally does.

But, this song tears at my heart scabs really hard. It’s one of El Tri’s more popular songs for good reason. Within the context of dedicating it to María Sabina, perhaps: “One day we’ll meet were spirits meet.” But really, for me, this song will always come back to Mike. I always saw him as a friend I’d have forever, and someone I’d grow old and shitty with. We confided in each other in ways that are irreplaceable with others. And he had such a similar impact on so many other people. I don’t think I’ll ever get over losing him. But what does get fewer and further between are the times I’m brought to my knees remembering how much I miss him. To steal from Kurt Vonnegut, So it goes…

lyrics

Compartimos el mismo cielo
compartimos el mismo anhelo
compartimos el mismo tiempo
y el mismo lugar.
fuimos parte de la misma historia
ibamos en la misma prepa
yo siempre fui una lacra
y tu eras del cuadro de honor.

Coro:
las piedras rodando se encuentran
y tu y yo algún día
nos habremos de encontrar
mientras tanto cuidate
y que te bendiga dios
no hagas nada malo que no hiciera yo.

Encendimos el mismo fuego
competimos en el mismo juego
compartimos el mismo amor
y el mismo dolor.
La vida nos jugó una broma
y el destino trazo el camino
para que cada quien se fuera
con su cada cual.
