about

In his latest track titled "Charlie," COQUÍ artfully blends the raw grittiness of spaghetti western rock with evocative storytelling. The song explores the challenges of a friendship ending due to differing views, evoking emotion with lyrics like "Charlie was a lovely friend of mine, till she ran away to my surprise." Another line, "You think you got me figured out, you're slow to hear, you only shout," highlights the frustrations of modern-day conversations, where listening becomes a lost art. The recurring call to "open up your eyes" speaks to a desire for mutual understanding. With its gripping guitar melodies and impactful words, "Charlie" emphasizes the importance of genuine communication and the sorrow of lost relationships.

lyrics

Charlie was a lovely friend of mine
till she ran away to my surprise
didn’t even leave a reason why
guess she didn’t wanna waste her time

wounded ego
open up her eyes

Charlie was a lovely friend of mine
another victim of the devils lies
she wouldn’t even let me speak my mind
what the point of tryna lead the blind?

wounded ego
open up her eyes

we’ve got opinions
it’s okay to disagree sometimes
no need to take it personal
or read between the lines
is it a crime to hear me out?
maybe you’ll realize
something you never knew before

open up your eyes

refuse to see it
eye to eye
confusing intellect
with pride

your point of view
is never wrong
you’ll probably argue
with this song

you think you got me figured out
you’re slow to hear, you only shout

you disagreed
just walk away?
this isn’t how to conversate

open up your eyes
