Our ARISTOPETS are so important to us that we dedicate ourselves to them body and soul. They inspire us in our daily lives. So much so that we dedicate literary works to them, immortalize them in works of art, and give them an important role in series and films. And we dedicate songs to them. Today, in fact, we’re going to focus on this last point.
On other occasions, we’ve told you about the music ARISTOPETS like. We revealed that soft rock and reggae were the dogs’ favorite genres. We also introduced you to the first album composed exclusively for cats to enjoy. And we invited you to attend the first concert by and for dogs. Well, today we’re going to look back at those legendary songs that some artists have dedicated to them, regardless of whether or not they are ARISTOPARENTS.
I love my dog
Cat Stevens acknowledges that it’s amusing for someone who calls himself “cat” to dedicate a song to a dog. But that’s how things are. The song is about a dog’s unconditional love and love for a dog. Because while all other loves can vanish overnight, a dog’s love cannot. Beautiful and spot-on.
Delilah
Queen, one of the greatest bands of all time, also wanted to dedicate a song to one of its members’ pets. Specifically, to Delilah, Freddie Mercury’s cat, for whom the singer felt total love. For her unpredictable nature, her territoriality and, of course, for the unconditional companionship she provided during the hardest and most decisive period of his illness —although, obviously, the singer would only realize this afterward.
Who Gets the Dog?
In 2012, the Mexican duo made up of Jessy & Joy released a song telling the story of a breakup. A couple is going through a difficult time. They share everything, and the time comes for each of them to go their separate ways and divide their belongings. But the most important question arises when they wonder what will happen to their dog. That being who has watched them grow as a couple and as individuals, with whom they have shared so much, as seen in the music video… The song is about a painful ordeal, a very difficult situation that we told you about some time ago in this post.
Man of the hour
Norah Jones sings, with a great sense of humor, about that nightmarish moment when a man tells you, referring to another man, “him or me.” In the song, the woman chooses neither of them, but instead chooses a dog. Because he is sweet, affectionate, fun, doesn’t argue, goes with the flow… and even eats meat. A tribute to those dogs who become the men or women of our lives.
Broken Tail
The Chilean singer-songwriter Gepe composed this song to tell the love story between him and his little dog Victoria, whom he adopted when she had a broken tail. The artist donated the copyright royalties from this song to the organization Unión de Amigos de los Animales, one of the oldest in South America (it was founded in 1995), to help support abandoned dogs and raise awareness about responsible pet ownership and abandonment. What a wonderful gesture!
We hope you enjoyed this ARISTOPLAYLIST of songs. Very soon, we’ll share another musical selection with you.
