Influenced by José José, Juan Gabriel, Agustín Lara, Armando Manzanero, Luis Miguel. José Lerán's life was split between two Mexico City homes after his parents' divorce: a sleek Polanco townhouse and a bohemian Coyoacán apartment. This weekly migration taught him to be a diplomat in life and an archivist of heartache in song. At the old upright piano belonging to his beloved stepfather, he began to channel the grand romantic tradition of José José, writing lush, orchestral ballads about the feeling of being a guest in one's own life. He still keeps his grandfather’s tarnished keychain, a reminder of all the doors love can, and cannot, open.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Él: El mármol de tu padre todavía nos huele en la ropa.
Él: A pinos importados y a una culpa muy blanca, muy honda.
Ella: "¿Viste la llave del vino? De plata, pesaba una vida."
Él: Yo solo vi nuestra imagen, temblando en su piso de espejo.

[Chorus]
Y volvemos aquí, a contar las monedas,
mientras baila el fantasma de la renta en la puerta.
Es un lujo prestado
que se paga con esta condena.

[Verse 2]
Ella: Me dijiste "Sonríe, mi amor, que no noten el hambre".
Él: Es un viejo protocolo, un tratado de paz con el aire.
Ella: La diplomacia no paga las luces ni llena la alacena.
Él: Pero nos teje un palacio con hilos de tragicomedia.

[Chorus]
Y volvemos aquí, a contar las monedas,
mientras baila el fantasma de la renta en la puerta.
Es un lujo prestado
que se paga con esta condena.

[Bridge]
Ella: Apaga esa luz, la de veinte watts que nos queda.
Él: En la penumbra, al menos, todos los muros son de seda.

[Outro]
(Vocal sample, pitched-up and glitched)
Contar las monedas… las monedas…
