Alejandro Sierra’s “Good To Me” – A Lyrical Chronicle of Life’s Rollercoaster
Ecuador’s Alejandro Sierra is no stranger to the introspective canvas of Latin pop. With “Good To Me,” he paints a vivid, poignant portrait of life in all its splendor and suffering. The lyrics resonate like pages torn from a deeply personal diary, taking listeners on a contemplative journey through time, memory, and faith.
Opening with the vulnerable admission, “*Sometimes I feel like an open book*,” Sierra sets the tone for an intimate conversation. Just as pages bear words, life is filled with experiences — some challenging, others illuminating. There’s a profound depth in acknowledging life’s challenges while cherishing its blessings. “*Boy to man fought the good fight / I’ve seen the darkness I’ve found the light,*” Sierra sings, a testament to his tenacity in the face of adversity.
Yet, amidst all the introspection, there is an unwavering undercurrent of gratitude. “*God’s been good to me,*” he asserts. It’s not just a fleeting sentiment; it’s the core of Sierra’s narrative. Whether he’s singing about standing tall as a king or humbly playing the clown, his gratitude echoes powerfully, shaping his perspective.
But perhaps the song’s most touching sentiment lies in its universal longing for love and companionship. “*I wanna share this world with someone like you,*” Sierra croons, juxtaposing the weight of life’s journey with the yearning for a kindred spirit to share it. The lyrics underscore life’s dichotomy: the bold ambition to “*finish what I started*” balanced by the fear of heartbreak.
Alejandro Sierra masterfully weaves these intricate themes without ever being overwrought. The sentiment that pervades the song is a grounded, heartfelt reflection. One can’t help but resonate with the closing, a return to the beginning, reminiscent of life’s cyclical nature. “*Sometimes I feel like an open book / Some pages turned just take a look*,” he sings, inviting us once again to peer into the soulful pages of his experience.
“Good To Me” isn’t just a song; it’s a poignant reminder of the shared human experience. With every lyric penned by Sierra, he stitches together a tapestry of life’s highs and lows, ensuring his mark in the vast anthology of Latin pop will be remembered for its depth, honesty, and relatability.
