The moment in which Vanesa Martín (Málaga, 1980) wrote
Inmunes
was an ordinary morning, on any given day, at her house in the center of Madrid.
"I looked out on the terrace, I saw the world run by and I thought: 'I'm here in my shit, writing this, destroyed...', but, at the same time, I wanted to fight," she confesses in the video of this new episode of
Story of a song.
Inmunes
is one of the most personal topics of his career.
Also, one of the most painful and honest: “I wrote it on the piano when I realized that the one I thought was the love of my life was falling apart.
We did not know how to do it, we were not immune to the passage of time, to routine, to people”.
Vanesa Martín began to sing it live on
Munay
's tour (2016), her fifth album, but she had to stop doing it for two years: “It ripped me off a lot of things.
Intermittently, she would take it out to see if she was strong and put it away again.
She was at the top of my career, but she was broken on the inside,” she says with stunning sincerity.
One day while she was driving, the song came on the radio.
She had to stop the car.
She was having her first panic attack.
At the end of 2022, the artist from Malaga published
Pleasures and Sins,
after almost two decades dedicated to music: “In lyrics, there is one more leap of nudity in terms of what I want to convey and tell about my life.
It continues to excite me like the first album, with the same nerves, uncertainty and joy”.
