While chatting with Jazz Diaz electronicGIG asked where the band got her inspiration for the song…this was her reply.

electronicGIG: Hi Jazz….everyone at electronicGIG loves your song  “Lo Haré Por Ti” can you tell us a bit about the song and your inspiration for it?

Jazz Diaz: “Yes, it is one of my favorite songs, it has a good story … I will hear you quickly, one day we went to play in jail, in the area of minor crimes and where there are also the prisoners who are awaiting sentence. It was a very powerful show, one of the best we have ever had, and we played for the prisoners and their families who were visiting.

In the end, a lady made me, her son had little to have entered the jail and she was very sad, but she saw a strong woman … she hugged me and started crying, I hugged her tight and turned my head To see your son, he looked like a nice guy, you know? I was very young and looked sad, at that moment I felt that I could connect with them, I could share all that pain they felt … when they left, after collecting our things, I was observing the prisoners for a while away.

All with their families, trying to be strong, I kept seeing the lady with her son, how I tried to support him and he tried to become strong … everything inspired me a lot, and then I computed “Lo haré por ti” (I’ll do it for you) the song of the video 

The song basically talks about a person going through a very difficult time in their life and then looks into the eyes of the person they love the most and says “I’ll do it for you, I’m going to fly so high until the sun hits, I’m going to win the shadows around me, I will break the chains that bind my feet, and although you see me crying I swear that I will be fine, and when everything happens and I have you by my side again, you will know that I did not lie when I swore that I would do it for you, ” that’s the lyric or chorus of the lyrics.

Edd always says this “This song is born from wherever there is a person trying to overcome a really tough situation and is willing to do anything to achieve it”

It’s one of my favorite songs …🤟🏻🤟🏻
We all love her because she reminds us of that day we played in prison, it was definitely a show that marked us for life, changed the vision of many things” ~ Jazz Diaz.

La Mexcalina “Lo Haré Por Ti” Gato Calavera, Insane Fest 2, Ciudad de México.

I could tell you the story of my life

but you know her more than you imagine

you have seen me fight, fall and doubt

You have seen me lose myself in the dark.

 

Fall into the deepest abyss

fight the shadows that surround my world

risk my life at a crossroads

cheat death and lose myself in nowhere

 

I’m not going to stun you with empty words

nor to repeat the broken promises

I’m not going to ask you to fight by my side

I’ll fight for the two of you, let me try.

 

let me put a firm hand on my heart and with all the strength that remains in my voice I will swear.

 

That I will do it for you

I will fly so high until I touch the sun

I will overcome the shadows around me

break the chains that bind my feet

And even if you see me crying I swear I’ll be fine

and when it all happens and holds you to, my side again

You will know that I did not lie when I swore I would do it for you.

 

Today I have faced my reflection in the mirror

and I said to my face I know you can do it

And I can fight, fall and doubt

but listen to me well i will follow to the end

 

because in the dark your eyes have always been

shining with its light, bringing me from the bottom

and for you I will fight to the end

to see you smile next to me once more

 

let me put a firm hand on my heart and with all the strength that remains in my voice I will swear.

 

That I will do it for you

I will fly so high until I touch the sun

I will overcome the shadows around me

break the chains that bind my feet

And even if you see me crying I swear I’ll be fine

and when it all happens and holds you to, my side again

You will know that I did not lie when I swore I would do it for you.

 

Podria contarte la historia de mi vida

pero la conoces mas de lo que imaginas

me has visto pelear, caer y dudar

me has visto perderme en la obscuridad. 

 

Caer en el abismo más profundo 

pelear contra las sombras que rodean mi mundo 

jugarme la vida en una encrucijada

burlar a la muerte y perderme en la nada

 

no voy a aturdirte con palabras vacias

ni a repetir las promesas incumplidas

no voy a pedir que pelees a mi lado

peleare por los dos, dejame intentarlo. 

 

deja que ponga una mano firme en el corazon y con toda la fuerza que queda en mi voz jurare. 

 

Que lo hare por ti

voy a volar tan alto hasta tocar el sol

voy a vencer las sombras de mi alrededor 

romper las cadenas que atan mis pies

y aunque me veas llorando juro que estare bien

y cuando todo pase y te etenga a, mi lado otra vez

sabras que no menti al jurar que lo haria por ti. 

 

Hoy me he enfrentado a mi reflejo en el espejo

y me he dicho a la cara se que puedes hacerlo

y puedo pelear, caer y dudar

pero escuchame bien seguire hasta el final

por que en la obscuridad siempre han estado tus ojos

brillando con su luz, trayendome del fondo

y por ti voy a pelear hasta el final

por verte sonreir a mi lado una vez mas 

deja que ponga una mano firme en el corazon y con toda la fuerza que queda en mi voz jurare. 

 

Que lo hare por ti

voy a volar tan alto hasta tocar el sol

voy a vencer las sombras de mi alrededor 

romper las cadenas que atan mis pies

y aunque me veas llorando juro que estare bien

y cuando todo pase y te etenga a, mi lado otra vez

sabras que no menti al jurar que lo haria por ti.
