I wrote this song for my father and I speak to him directly, one to one. It is not a cover or a nod to other songs about fathers. It is a letter of mine, written when he was no longer there to read it. I had things to tell him and this was the only way I found to say them out loud.

Almost everything in it is gratitude. My father taught more with gestures than with words. He set the course with what he did. I wanted to give him exactly that back: to name out loud what at home was taken for granted and rarely spoken. There is absence and there is grief, but the idea that holds the song is a see you later, not a final goodbye. The bond goes on. His way of loving stayed in small everyday things, and in me.

I did not want a song about overcoming, or a message of encouragement. I only wanted it to be true, with the lyrics ahead of everything. And to be honest, I also made it for myself. Writing it was my way of putting the grief a little in order and giving myself permission to keep making music without leaving him out. It did not heal anything, that does not heal, but it helped me set something right inside. The title says it as it is: I just want you to know.

Song notes

I wrote it the way you write a letter you know you will not be able to send: without looking for pretty rhymes, trying to make every line true. It is built as a conversation with him. I thank him, I tell him how the house is, I promise him we are still together. What mattered most to me was to tell what he was like: someone who said the important things without saying them, with a look, with silence, with what he did. I did not make it to turn the page or to teach anyone about grief. I made it because I needed to, and in the hope that, somehow, it reaches him.

Lyrics

Papá A veces sigo siendo un niño Aunque el tiempo Me haya hecho mayor En casa se siente tu ausencia En la forma en que llenabas nuestras vidas Cuando mamá te nombra en casa Entra un poco más de calma y calor Yo crecí aprendiendo en silencio De todo lo que guardabas en tu corazón Hoy te canto con la esencia de aquel niño Pero con la voz del hombre que soy Por lo que me enseñaste a tu modo Hoy solo quiero darte las gracias Por mis hermanas y familia Por todos los que te queremos Lo que nunca supimos decirnos Se resume en un gracias Un te quiero Y un aquí estoy Solo quiero que lo sepas, papá Tu latido Se quedó en mi voz No es adiós, es un puente hacia el cielo Un camino que nos unirá Cuando llegue el momento Cuando miremos las estrellas en el cielo Y el silencio nos deje escuchar Sentiremos tu cariño por dentro Como un cálido Y fuerte abrazo Hasta luego, papá Siempre estarás En nuestro corazón Guardo momentos compartidos contigo Como recuerdos que no se pueden olvidar Tu mirada diciendo a tu modo Tu silencio dejándome hablar A tu forma marcabas el rumbo Con tus hechos más que con la voz En los gestos pequeños de cada día Tu manera de amar Siempre fue fiel y sincera Ahora estás con tu hijo mayor en el cielo Y con los seres queridos que partieron antes de ti Abrázales muy fuerte por nosotros Mientras aquí seguimos unidos a ti Llamamos cielo al lugar del abrazo Que no entiende de tiempo ni espacio Cuando un día nos llegue el momento Saldréis todos juntos a nuestro encuentro Solo quiero que lo sepas, papá Que tu huella Siempre persistirá En cada gesto pequeño en casa Seguirás siempre Dentro de nosotros No es adiós, es un hasta luego, papá Nuestro lazo No se romperá Cuando al fin volvamos a encontrarnos Sentirás lo que nunca Me atreví a compartir Solo quiero que lo sepas, papá Que en mi voz tu abrazo seguirá Hasta que nos volvamos a encontrar
