The song opens with a driving bass line that immediately pulls you in — a foundation at once intimate and propulsive. Over it, the gentle pulse of synthesizers and subtle electronic textures give the track a dreamlike, nocturnal atmosphere, signaling a shift from her earlier, folk-tinged works toward a more electronic, sophisticated sound.\n\nVocally, Ana Fernández-Villaverde delivers with understated elegance. Her voice feels close, human — intimately conveying uncertainty and longing. The repetition of the refrain “El tiempo se toma su tiempo / Y a veces ni eso” evokes patience, hesitation, and the slow burn of feeling things aren’t quite enough, even when you wait. \n\nLyrically, the song captures the tension between desire and resignation, between movement (“haciendo eses… de amor con las caderas”) and emotional inertia. There’s a sensuality in the motion, a dance that feels like holding on — even when nothing’s certain. It’s a song built on subtlety rather than dramatic gestures, and its power lies in that emotional restraint.\n\nOverall, “A Veces Ni Eso” is a standout track from the album Ceremonia — moody, evocative, and hauntingly beautiful.\n\nListen here:\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGlzULD4914", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }
