Angie – The Rolling Stones
One of the songs named after the most famous woman in American Rock & Roll was composed by Keith Richards, but it would be nothing without the sensational performance of a Mick Jagger in a state of grace. Although the song was always supposed to be dedicated to American model and groupie Angela Barnett (who was married to David Bowie), over time Richards assured that he had composed it for his daughter. He has endless covers, from Stereophonics to Melendi.

Laura is not here – Nek
The famous song, emblematic of the Italian author, speaks of the use (and abuse) of a love relationship to occupy the space of a frustrated love. Although the song has a painful theme, It was a great success in the nineties and it is a song that has passed into the popular imagination on both sides of the ocean. It has a very peculiar version in French with the singer Cerena.

Lucia-Serrat
One of the great international singer-songwriters, the Spanish Joan Manuel Serrat, composed this extraordinary song in epistolary form of another lost love, Lucía. Serrat takes the theme from the particular to the general, leaving a song that is used to talk about heartbreak and the passage of time. «There is nothing more beautiful than what I have never had, nothing more loved than what I lost.» Pasión Vega covered it in front of the maestro in a Spanish television program. Here is the beautiful version of Pasión Vega.

Squid – Pigeon
Paloma, one of Calamaro’s great love songs, and also an atypical song, without a chorus, and heartbreak. Paloma is a monument to inertia: no chorus, just a long verse weaving its way through a rotten guitar arpeggio. In that sense, ignore any stereotype of the song Calamaro, is, as they say up north, a species unto itself (the harmonica inserts of course give the corresponding Dylan tone). Song of love without a compass wears the same story of the singer-songwriter: «Your love is my illness, I am an empty container» (quoting the hit by Los Rodríguez) or «ampas de gloria mujer, I want a piece of heaven / to invite you to sleep in bed or on the floor” (returning here to the first album by Los Abuelos). You can listen to it live here.

Carlos Vives – Rosa
Carlos Vives uses the most complimented flower on the planet to compose a song that captures the essence of popular music and, to the rhythm of the dance, makes us think of all the “Rosas” women we know. The singer included this song in “Tierra del olvido”, his fantastic 2009 album. The analogy with women is obvious: “Of all the flowers, the rose is the most beautiful”. Of all women, you are the one I choose to sing to.
