Maybe Mexico is not even close to what you think it is.

Every country lives its own reality. As you already know I'm from Mexico.
Mexico's reality is way more different than what people all over the world thinks. What I've seen is that there's a severe case of ignorance -imo pretty justifiable- of the things my country represents nowadays. What I'm about to do is to tell you all guys a different perspective of what you probably had heard.
I'm just showing you the big picture. Every single day in the news you hear about dying people. Missing people. The count rises up to hundreds of thousands. You've probably heard that there's a war going on. And the numbers support that allegation, but it's not a CIVIL war. It's a DRUG war, held by the GOVERNMENT, and CIVIL victims. You probably wonder if we can go out to the street, attend to school, play gigs or go to the movies. Yes, you can have somehow a "normal" life. In certain places. At certain hours. Lucky me, I live in a peaceful state, but I can't ignore what people (friends or family) goes trough every single day. Even here we live fearing that someday us, or our best friend or maybe our cousin gets killed by an armed commando while going home riding the bus. The worst part of it is that no matter how convinced you are that your cousin Juan was the last person you'd expect to be implied on anything dangerous. Juan was just at the wrong place and time, but what the media an the government would say is that he was just a collateral victim, in the best case. In the worst case he would be treated as a justiced criminal. There would be no investigation and no justification to his family whatsoever.
What I can see about my country this days is one of the most horrible portraits of a Western movie where there's no good guy. And every single one of us mexicans (and people all over the world) should be well aware of this. We gotta live everyday prepared to fight for your life. Either you fight or run or die.  And I'm amazed that musicians like me or artists like my friends are still able to overcome all this panic paralysis and produce magnificent works.
It is because all of this wild wild west ambient that I decided to write a song about this subject. We released it on live shows and people acceptance was so good tghat we decided to make a single out of it. Our first single. This would probably be the best way for us to show the world the opinion they've never heard: PEOPLE'S opinion. "Can you feel the heath? Could you stay alive at least tonight?"
