about
Composed in 2010, this Latin Jazz song is the story of two people who become infatuated with each other [Part A]. It is a "new love" with all the emotional and tactile sensations and unspoken words (flute) one would expect.
Then in Part B (lasting 36 measures,) the relationship moves into a non-lyrical transition that is an unclear emotional direction. One in which commitment or no commitment are addressed. In this story one person wants more than the other. We all must choose are own path. To leave, to resent, to stay, or to accept.
In this song the person that wants more accepts and in Part C lyrically vocalizes their acceptance of the imbalance proclaiming "When that happens, tell me when you're ready for love. I can wait as long as it takes." And even after three solos the person reaffirms their acceptance with a repeat of the same verse.
Often when I listen to or write music I see scenes kinda like movies or videos. At the end of the song the singer sings her last 2 lines. This was my vision: The setting is an old New York Brooklyn, New York “row house” with stairs leading up to the entrance. At the bottom of the stairs, street level, is a dimly lit street light. The singer and her “Corazón” walk up the stairs. They gesture good night and her love enters the apartment. As she sings her last to lines, she walks down the stairs to stand next to the street light contemplating her day. Then, as the song ends she walks away from the street light into darkness illustrated when Lincoln Adler plays his last note on tenor sax as it fades into breath. Truly a beautiful cliche.
lyrics
Cuando eso Pase (Whenever That Happens)
Translation:
Whenever it happens, tell me you’re ready for love.
Part C
Verse:
Ah Ah Ah Cuando eso Pasa
Dime que estás lista para el amor
Ah Ah Cuando eso Pasa
Dime que estás lista para el amor
Chorus
Now that you have touched my, very soul
I can wait as long as it takes.
But will you hold my hand, and walk with me this day
Me Corazón?
