There is a certain disarming quality about total honesty in music and ESTRADA Music Projects I love when you see through my eyes has none of the pretense in it. It is not a song meant to impress with clever wordplay or a complex arrangement–it is a man speaking to his wife, and somehow that kind of simplicity makes it stronger than any complex production.
This is something that Alejandro Estrada has been able to create that makes one feel like the person is overhearing a personal conversation. His simple vocals have this personal touch that makes you feel like you are in his living room and not listening to a finished product. No vocal acrobatics, no dramatics, just heartfelt singing with a sincerity that is becoming more and more exotic in the world of music.
The minimalist style is ideal to the purpose that this song is attempting. The root bass riff and the simple synth line that forms the background is just enough to make it warm and inviting and not a competition to the message. It is like making eye-contact when you have an important conversation, it is direct, focused, and fully present.
The most notable aspect to me is how Estrada maintains a balance between his two lives as a doctor and a musician without one of his lives taking priority over the other. You can feel the discipline of the person who makes time in the evenings to turn to creativity and approaches his songwriting with the same seriousness that he approaches his medical practice. The outcome is professional and personal.
This song works because it is not trying to be anything more than it is: a love song set to music. In this era of excess and emotive back-catalogue, the line, I love when you see through my eyes, makes us realize that the most touching musical moments are simple in nature. It is a song that is confident in its message not to have to be propped up by other elements.
