The duo leader explained that the lyrics can be compared with movie songs.
In Latin American stations, as well as in social networks, a stir has risen with the statements of singer Juan Carlos Rodríguez, who makes up with his wife Evelyn Herrera the third sky Christian duo.
From his most recognized songs worldwide are “You don’t grow anymore” and “I will miss you”, the latter in the center of the controversy that the group is experiencing.
The song was launched in 2008 and millions of people have dedicated it to loved beings who have departed from this land.
The letter of “I will miss you” has become a hymn to remember the deceased and express what is lived but cannot be said. For many followers, this song had a clear objective, but given the new statements this perspective changed.
17 years later, Rodríguez confessed that the song was not composed for the dead, but for the living, to dedicate to that person who has no close but is surprised. In addition, he assured that it is an artistic expression of love and memory.
The leader of the duo, explained that the lyrics can be compared with songs of movies such as “The León King”, “The Book of Life” and “Gladiator.” For him, these songs, although they are not typical of their faith, promote essential values for life in society.
Origin of your song
“All these films enjoy them, although they have symbolic elements that clearly do not come from an evangelical Christian doctrine. And no one makes scandal. There are hundreds of films questionable to faith and most enjoy them and put them on their children,” he said.
I will miss you, which has accompanied so many painful farewells in the world, it is a song that they, as a duo, say it is a way of embraceing those who are not close. “Because when words are not enough, music embraces.”
He added: “Remembering someone you loved is not talking to the dead. It is recognizing that love does not disappear with death. I will miss you does not intend to imitate doctrines or replace faith. It is simply the cry of the soul of whom he did not have time to say goodbye. And that is why millions of hearts have touched around the world.”
These statements lit social networks and Internet users expressed that, although they have not written it to dedicate it to deceased loved ones, their letter is a reflection of the pain that is felt when there is a duel like this.
For many people, the part of the song they question the most is: “Don’t cry for me. I am in a place full of light, where there is peace, where there is no evil, where I can rest.”
However, Rodríguez remains firm in his position, making it clear that each person is free to dedicate the song and live the song at the time they need it.
However, the official video of the song, published in 2020, tells migration stories and reflects the hard moment that families and friends live by moving away from their loved ones, many times in search of what for them is a better life.
