🎶 To Me, Morat Always Feels Like Home
There are artists you admire.
And then there are artists you trust.
Morat has been one of my favourite bands for a long time, not just because their songs hurt in the best way (lol), but because they do something very rare. They write heartfelt, wholesome, warm lyrics in Spanish that are:
- clearly pronounced
- rhythmically repetitive
- emotionally sincere
- easy to sing along to
For someone learning Spanish, that combination is absolute gold!
Faltas tú, released in 2025, feels like classic Morat. Melancholy but not heavy. Honest without being dramatic. The kind of song that sounds simple on the surface, but stubbornly stays with you.
Linguistically speaking, this song sits around A2 to B1 level. The grammar is accessible, the vocabulary is emotional but everyday, and the repetition helps meaning sink in naturally.
