ÉVAT's latest release, "Reminiscencia," is a journey through memories that hurt and do not leave. The song takes place next to photographs, luggage and a picture of two people once embracing, an intimate picture of love after separation. The line "You and me, hugging" is all the more moving when read alongside the later admission of being left "alone and unhappy." The writing also carries a quiet sadness, most evident in the juxtaposition of the memories she treasures and the loneliness they now represent. "Reminiscencia" is not an outright romanticization of the past, but a meditation on the complicated emotion of remembering a beautiful place amid the pain of being emotionally abandoned there.
