Song notes
This song isn't about anything extraordinary, and that's the whole point. It's a normal day — housework, the shopping, some time together — told as if it were the most important thing in the world, which maybe it is. I wanted a song that sounded like that: like the small happiness of sharing the boring parts.
I thought of it as a duet because the song is, literally, a conversation between two: one suggests, the other answers, they hand the lines back and forth the way they split the chores. Gemma's voice gives mine the reply it needed; without that second voice, the whole 'same old things, but together' idea would fall flat.
Musically I kept it light and bright on purpose, with a rhythm that walks rather than runs — a strolling, unhurried-Sunday tempo. I didn't want it to sound like a big love song, but like the soundtrack to an ordinary day; to me, that's the kind of love that's hardest to sing without getting corny, and the one I most felt like trying.
One of the reasons I wanted Gemma as the guest voice here is how her range fits with mine. She carries the song from a mezzo-soprano range (roughly G3 to D5), while I come in from a tenor range (around G2 up to F4). Those are the pitches we naturally live in, and you can hear it in the way the two vocal lines cross and support each other.

Lyrics
Uh, uh-uh-uh
Uh, uh-uh-uh
En la nevera
Una nota que pone: «Plan de hoy»
Pongo música bajita y repasamos el plan
¿Vamos juntos?
Esta vez sí
Sonríes y yo sonrío
No hace falta prometer lo que no podamos dar
Solo hablar despacio y querernos un poco más
Lo nuestro es levantarnos y seguir cantando
Aunque el día venga torcido
Hoy contigo, mañana igual de claro
Lo de siempre nos marca el camino
Ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah-ah
Tú riegas las plantas y yo barro la entrada
Vamos a comprar
Cojo la bolsa de tela
Apago la luz
Bajamos a la tienda de la esquina
En la cola me rozas la mano y yo sonrío
«Ya estoy contigo al fin»
No hace falta prometer lo que no podamos dar
Solo hablar despacio y querernos un poco más
Lo nuestro es levantarnos y seguir cantando
Aunque el día venga torcido
Hoy contigo, mañana igual de claro
Lo de siempre nos marca el camino
Ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah-ah
Si te paras, te impulso suave
Si hay silencio, te escucho amarme
Si me pierdo, me dices: «ven aquí»
Si tienes frío, un cálido abrazo lo calma
Si me rompo, me miras y me recompongo
Si te inquietas, contamos hasta diez
Si se nublan los planes, hacemos sitio
«Ya estoy contigo al fin»
Y todo encaja
Lo nuestro es levantarnos y seguir cantando
Aunque el día venga torcido
Hoy contigo, mañana igual de claro
Lo de siempre nos marca el camino
Ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah-ah
Y mañana, de nuevo, el plan de hoy
Lo de hoy, lo de siempre
Lo de hoy, lo de siempre
Eh, eh-eh-eh
Contigo siempre
