Enrique Urquijo lives

No os alarméis por este titular. Enrique Urquijo lives in my heart, in my past, en tantas situaciones vividas y en otros tantos momentos de ánimo. Today they are fulfilled 7 years since he left.

Say Enrique Urquijo, is to talk about the best Spanish music and in capital letters. The one who was one of the key pieces of the so-called Movida Madrileña, He also wrote one of the best pages in the golden history of our country.

Maybe Enrique died in 1999, but all his music is still alive. Through his brother Álvaro, in the memory of the people, in the subconscious, In the hundreds of musical book references, in the CDS that are in the bookstores in my house next to The Problems or with Secrets, in all its stages.

I miss Enrique Urquijo. I miss his voice and I also miss that sweet melancholy that being able to sing with him caused me., when impatiently the last job arrived at my hands, and on the second listen I had already learned all the songs.

humble musician, without great pretensions, away from glamor. He was never a public figure, but at the same time he was very loved by all his followers.. He stayed away from fashions and musical trends and his only goal was to make songs so that we could listen to them at home., savor them, make them ours and accompany him at his concerts.

After his death, some media speculated about his death and the most gruesome details., although it is well known that so much press, companions, artists and public felt a special affection for Enrique and enormous respect.

I would like to leave here some words that he said Álvaro Urquijo in an interview. “I don't want to delve into the subject, just remember that Enrique made himself loved by loving, He loved everyone and everyone loved him.. Human beings have a sixth sense to know who to love the most.. There are more sensitive beings, most vulnerable, that become endearing and loved by the public and by people in the business”.

I wish today was that day when unpublished compositions would see the light. I wish there were hidden somewhere else Change of plans, I'm glad to see you, And don't worry…

Hoy no quiero discutir
siempre mis defectos
siempre sobre mi.
No, no me reproches mas
que me estoy perdiendo
que no aguantas más.
Cuántas razones tengo que inventar
para poderme perdonar.
Hoy no quiero discutir
no pienses en ello.
Ya sé que te defraudé
que no es como antes
que nunca te fallé.
Cambió nuestra situación
todo fue deprisa, fue para peor.
Cuántos recuerdos guardas tú de mi
para tratarme ahora así.
Hoy no quiero discutir
no pienses en ello
hazlo por mi.
