rebe opens the door to the river of love. As she languidly covers Spanish pop star Cecilia’s 1975 single “Decir Adios”, fish kiss and eels twist around the legs of the lover, irresistible as they are, and difficult to remember.
“Decir adios” can be translated as “Say goodbye.” Like a long farewell, she slows the pace of the original down to a rapturous, dreamy crawl. Head foggy with you and heart whining like a broken siren. Her voice like a bell. Ringing like your name. I can’t emphasize enough the way that I’ve been walking around humming this song in my head all hours of the day.
