Corazón delator is a song and simple composed by Gustavo Cerati and interpreted by the Argentinean group Soda Stereo , included within the album of study ” Doble vida ” like track number 7 and released like fourth cut of diffusion of the album.
Letter
The song in part is related to the story ” The heart delator ” written by Edgar Allan Poe that deals with a personage who does not support the look of a person who has a diseased eye, therefore decides to kill it and hides it in the hollow of the floor of wood. When the police go to see the man’s whereabouts at the murderer’s house they find nothing, but the murderer in the midst of his madness believes he hears the heart of the person who had killed and ends up giving himself. Although the letter does not address this fact explicitly, the madness of the character is counted from the reflective point of view.
Music
It’s a rock ballad. The sound of this song is one of the most psychedelic in Soda Stereo songs. In the words of Gustavo Cerati :
It is the theme that is most related to Signos , and is the most romantic of the album as well. The story begins with a story by Allan Poe, where one heart betrays one person who killed another. In this case I wrote it thinking that my heart gives me when I see the person I love.
