The story could not be told without stopping at Valentina Gasparini, the violinist of Italian-Mexican origin who lived in France who lost her life. Undeniable turning point that crystallized, for the eternity of time, her friendship with René Pérez Joglar, better known as Residentwho dedicated him 313track included in The letters don’t matter anymoretheir most recent album.
Rene confessed that, after the unexpected death of the young violinist, the number 313 began to appear everywhere, perhaps a divine sign, a profound message. “(the number 313) started to appear everywhere: in hotel rooms, on the telephone, on watches, in the microwave, in addresses, everywhere. “I didn’t know the number 313 was connected to you,” she stated when his LP was released.
Then, he continues, “the song was born in an inexplicable, supernatural and magical way, inspired by my friend Valentina, a talented young woman who, although she is no longer physically here, is still here. It is a tribute to time and the things that we do not want to end.”.

It was on March 15 that the Puerto Rican singer-songwriter chose the Prado Museum, located in Madrid, as a setting to immortalize, in a certain way, his own grief. There he was createda very personal and intimate version” by 313, performed in the company of the singer Silvia Perez Cruz y Naomi Gaspariniviolinist and sister of the musa from this track by René
It is in Room 12 of the Madrid venue that the voice of Residente, surrounded by four blindfolded women, blurts out the first verses: I want your chest to be my bed / Your arms and legs to be my branches. Then he completely breaks the fourth wall by staring unblinkingly. There is no turning back.
As a tribute to the ephemeral, in addition to the deceased violinist, this song, especially with the delicacy of the video, manages to condense a deep feeling that came as a consequence of death, the unexpected death of Valentina. René wrote to alleviate the pain, honoring, with the title of the song, the time he remembers the last direct contact he had with her, at 3:13, the time at which he reportedly received what is now the final message.

In between Las Meninasby Diego Velázquez and The Adoration of the Magiby Pedro Pablo Rubens, the stridently melancholic voices of the chorus girls, the unbalancing voice of Silvia Pérez and the nostalgic and evocative sound of Noemí Gasparini’s violin that brings together the complete construction of an endless feeling, which nevertheless ceases to exist.
A fragment of the song’s lyrics is reproduced in full below:
And I was what I will be and what I am
Although I don’t want to, yesterdays are today
I was what I needed to say
I am from the places
I still want to go
Because every second is a prophet
Of what the horizon promises
Time better chase us
With you I do what the moment says
And I don’t want it to end
You are so much that you don’t fit
