#future songs

There's a high chance that I'll bring this blog back soon as I have new songs to translate that have inspired me to write! This time though, there are two major changes:

The songs aren't by Estopa (which remains as my favorite band ever though), but by La Oreja de Van Gogh (LODVG for short), another Spanish band that I grew up listening to. They have many songs that I've always LOVED and I've recently been listening to them again... and found myself feeling very inspired ✨

Since I'm not active in the Mario fandom for the time being, these songs haven't inspired me to create any new story with these characters, but rather with my current hyperfixation: Miguel and Tulio from The Road to El Dorado. So they shall be posted in my new blog, @zahraloveseldorado, and that will also be the blog from where I'll reblog the translated songs to connect them to the stories.

I hope everything's clear and whoever still follows this blog will be excited to see these new translations as well as the fics they've inspired! It'll take some time as I'm quite busy in real life, but it'll all come right in the end 😊

AHOY FRIENDO⚓︎ Holy shit what a FANFUCKINGTASTIC suggestion! 🫶 Oh my god this would be so delicious! Admittedly Melissa is closer to Divorce than Karen is currently in the story over all. I will absolutely add it to my running list of future chapter songs and see what we can come up with! ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

Also for the record: I'm open to songs of any decade. I figure the 1988 time frame (since I have plot plans at least minimum through there) or earlier is a good starting point. So basically anything at all that was release from 1988 or prior is eligible for consideration! 😈

Fun facts/thoughts about this song specifically for shits & gigs cause I'm a nerd:

This was never supposed to be a hit song, it was actually the B Side to their first single Only You. Which, is honestly a banger but not a certified club banger like Situation 😅

How fucking big of a contrast is Situation compared to Depeche Mode, right? When you consider that Situation was part of Vince Clarke's first major project after he left Depeche Mode, that's kinda bonkers! What a pivot from DM to this bright, melodic synth work and hallelujah since it eventually led us to absolute glory that is/was his work with Erasure! ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

Vince Clarker is a musical treasure and we are not and never have been worthy. I said what I said and I meant it.

Here comes the future And who knows where it could lead Here comes the future And who knows where we're gonna be

I look ahead and try my best to see A new horizon across the glistening sea The days are warmer I open my eyes as the sun glows Look all around me And try to see where the time goes

Because your dreams need help to flow You keep them warm, they melt like snow

Don't fade out of my life 'Cos I need you now (I need you now) We'll get happy when the time is right And I need you now

Here comes the future Ans who knows where it could lead Here comes the future Ans who knows where we're gonna be [unverified]

You were my dream, how could you know? You never dreamed I'd tell you so

Where do our spirits go? Where do our heartbeats go? Where do our best dreams go? I try but I don't know

Just to be dream so Just to be feel so Oh, I dream so Oh, I feel so

Oh, I dream so Oh, I feel so Yeah, I dream so

Over and over And over and over And over and over we go

The sun is rising High above me Feeling like in Heaven, oh

The sun is rising High above me Feeling like in Heaven, oh
