Fine, fine superfine (to quote Ruben and the Jets) list and topic. Except for the being self-aware, I'm a stalwart introvert.

Musicians are tricky. You have to be extraverted in order to send a song out to the world. But the great musical introverts tend to create personae who externalize what they feel (Ray Davies, e.g. https://youtu.be/3AOq7xc6__4 ). My favorite introverts are Annika Norlin (Hello Saferide, Sakert!) and Irene Tremblay (Aroah).

The first song will break your heart. The second one will make you want to throw in the towel for good.

Spanish lyrics and English translation (courtesy of Google):

Nothing in the fridge, nothing in your arms

Nada en la nevera nada entre tus brazos

Nothing meaningful

Nada con sentido

Everything is in the air

Todo esta en el aire

Free all day

Libre todo el dia

Freedom the next

Libertad la siguiente

For not wanting anything, I no longer want anyone

Por no querer nada ya no quiero a nadie
