Dime (Spanish for “Tell me”) finds Mexican indie-folk artist Kevin Kaarl caught between the warm glow of intimacy and the chill of uncertainty. Over gentle guitar strums he paints a cozy scene: the lingering aroma on a sofa, the thrill of sharing darkness and bare skin, and the dizzy habit of getting lost in someone else’s thoughts. Yet every moment of closeness sparks a quiet fear: ¿Te vas o te quedas? His repeated plea, Dime si tú quieres ir conmigo a todas partes, is both a sweet invitation and a silent worry that the answer could be no.
Kaarl’s words mix cosmic imagery with everyday tenderness, hinting that his partner’s spirit is too bright for this planet. He promises to protect and cherish them, even if their restless heart eventually takes flight, while secretly hoping they will choose to stay and roam the world by his side. The result feels like a late-night conversation under the stars: vulnerable, affectionate, and endlessly looping until the long-awaited answer finally arrives.
