The glamour of a rocker can be lost in the free time of each tour. That time that slowly passes between sound checks and the presentation, where many waste time staring at the ceiling of the room or trying to bribe the floor waitress to bring them more chocolates, puts musicians on equal footing with insurance salesmen or attendees at more conventional business conferences. Well, not everyone always falls into that trap.
The Argentinian Leo Garcia He took advantage of one of his tours to make a very uncomplicated video for his song Hotel next to the airport, In black and white, and, incidentally, to talk about those bland temporary accommodations where, at each stop along the route, weary travelers collapse, asking only for a good bed and decent room service. In perfect pop melody, García gives a clear description of that feeling, «The hotel next to the airport doesn't even remind me of my memories.«"The musician's lethargy away from home has its song, and its video too.". A good way to mock that apathy.
