Love and Betrayal- My Julieta Venegas Story
Where art thou my dear Juliet...
Chapter 1 Pleased to meet you.
Julieta Venagas used to be the shit. She was a proud member of our mundorockero and lead feminine voice of all things sad and depressing... She penned the badass hit "pobre de ti" while with Tijuana No and in '97 she released her first solo album "Aqui". Many have forgotten how great this album is... filled with sadness, with "aqui" would be praised by critics and Julieta welcomed to the rockera circle. Dust off "Aqui " from your cd self and be prepared... pictured on the cover a melancholic Venegas... with a nose ring!
-----------------------------------------
Como Se (from the album Aqui)
como se si lo que dices es verdad,
no tengo derecho a reprocharpero
hace tempo que presientoalgo grita y dice esto
no es asípodría ser de alguna otra forma la cosa asi
¿quien es que te vienes creyendo?
¿como se que si sonríes significaque nos conocemos demasiado bien?
pero hace tiempo que presientocuando miras así algo queda sin decirpodría ser más sencillo,
no es así como lo planeamos
¿quien es que te vienes creyendo?
no impora ya que no te gustecomo lo digo,
aquí lo tienesno impora ya que no recuerdes,
ya te lo dije, ahí lo tienes
-----------------------------------------------------
Chapter 2 I (heart) you Julieta- the courtship
Armed with her accordian... Venegas went back to the studio, with help from her friends (cafe tacuba, Botella de Jerez, Santa Sabina, producer Gustavo Santaolalla) her follow-up album Bueninvento was louder, electronic, it was rock, it was everything... my crush was over... I was now in love with Julieta Venegas. I remember going to the house of blues on sunset to see her for the first time. I remember this because not only was it one of the first times a random hot chick bought me a drink (why don't hot girls ever buy guys drinks?)but i remember it because Julieta looked uncomfortable on stage... she wore a conservative top and grey slacks with tennis shoes... she hardly said a word to the audience... i loved her more. She was the shy girl from her album cover (check it out, she can't even look at the camera).
-----------------------------------------..
Seria Feliz (from the album Bueninvento)
Si pudiera yo tenerte aqui hablandome de nada
y cuándo más y cuando másseguro es lo que me falta
si pudiera recuperarlo que no me tocó porque ya no hay
porque llegue muy tarde
seguro es por ahi
Tiempo suficiente me falta cada vez
vida suficiente me falta otra vez
Si solo tuviera un lugarpara expresar
mi neceasidad y alguien escucharalo que tengo aquieso sería
si tuviera el respeto de quienes no me toman en cuenta
si solo vieran de lo que soy capazes eso lo que me falta
seguro así sería felíz
Tiempo sufieciente me falta cada vez vida suficiente me falta otra vez
Si solo tuviera el colorde quienes parecen disfrutar
si él mismo me pintara a mi parece es por ahíseguro seria feliz...
si pudiera recuperar....si solo tuviera un lugar

Julieta would go on to tour with Jaguares, Jumbo, and la Gusana Ciega in 2000 on la gira Revoluccion and would capture the hearts of many. I met her on this tour and I couldn't bring myself to tell her how great she was and how I secretly loved her.. hey my ex-girlfriend would have gotten really mad.
Chapter 3 We need to talk. I don't even know you anymore!..
WTF? After years of anticipation for your next work you return from Argentina after a fling with Coti and you have this.... Si??? with your coquetish pose and wearing a wedding dress??? WTF Julieta. Who are you...
-----------------------------
Algo Esta Cambiando (from the album Si)
Me hablas, preguntas, si nos podemos ver después
razones me sobranpero aunque quiera no lo sé siempre hay algo más,
que a simple vista no se veserá que hay algo más,
que a simple vista no…
Te asusta la idea de lo que pueda suceder,
decirte quisiera algo que te haga sentir bien,
pero es que hay algo más,
que a simple vista no se veserá que hay algo más,
que a simple vista no se ve.
Pero siento que hay en míalgo que esta cambiandono se ve…
Pero siento que hay en míalgo que esta cambiando
No pienses que olvido,
lo que me ha dado tu quererlo llevo conmigo,
así me puedo sentir bienpero es que hay algo más,
que a simple vista no se veserá que hay algo más,
que a simple vista no se ve.
Pero siento que hay en míalgo que esta cambiandono se ve…
Pero siento que hay en míalgo que esta cambiando
Que más quisiera yo,
que ser feliz y darte amor,
amorque más quisiera yo,
vivir feliz y darte amor,
amor
------------------------------------------------
Fuck yeah! Algo esta cambiando... no shit! Take a look at yourself!! The last great piece of music to come out of Argentina was Babasonicos and babe... this aint no Babasonicos! Just because it's cheap to produce an album there it doesn't mean you had to reinvent yourself! I don't support this makeover. I don't like it. Regardless, I went to the Venegas show at the El Rey... in a relationship you really do go through hardships and this couldn't be any different. But what? Not one song from Bueninvento... nothing from Aqui?? Who are you? It feels like that episode of the wonder years when Winnie Cooper starts hanging out with the cool kids... and eventually starts dating that nerdo Roger... and poor Kevin is heartbroken... Julieta is now wearing pumps and short jeans skirts... say what?
--------------------------------------------
Chapter 4 You betrayed me... how could you?
I stood up for you when my friend Oscar declined my invitation to go to your concert at JC Fandango because he insisted that he couldn't stand women singers because a woman could never understand his emotions (he's in my top eight if you want to talk shit to him). The fouth album Limon y Sal... typical case of 'Jumping the Shark' when rocker turned popstar chooses to collaborate with a hip-hop artist on one track... it happended to Paula Abdul (skat strut)... Mariah Carey (Heartbreaker, but it happened a few times with her).. Shakira etc etc.. and now i'nm listening to "eres para mi"... 'Limon y Sal' you say que me quieres con limon y sal... tal y como estas... you say que eres para mi... then all of a sudden "me voy"??? porque no supiste entender mi corazon???? WTF??? you betrayed me!
-------------------------------------------------
Chapter 5 I'm single... the rebound.
Today... with my Amy Winehouse cd in hand I say to you... forget you Julieta Venegas!!! I'm over you.
Where art thou my dear Juliet...
