Cover of the single Elon Musk Ha Anunciado

Elon Musk ha anunciado: a one-way ticket to a planet called GayFolk

Waking up alone, bitter coffee, bland work, nameless streets and faceless people. The first part of the song is an inventory of routine, written in two-word phrases, dry, like a timesheet. Everything repeats, nothing surprises and, as the chorus rightly says, that's offensive.

And suddenly, the twist: thank goodness Elon Musk has announced today the first crewed flight to a newly found planet called GayFolk. It's invented news, a fantasy of the song, and I love it precisely for that. It takes the figure most associated with rockets and headlines in the world and puts him to work, in fiction, for the queerest planet in the universe.

What it's really about is the urge to escape. From lethargy, from suppressed emotions, from dormant dreams. And the way out it proposes isn't a diet or a change of job: it's signing up for the ship. «Yo ya me he apuntado» (I've already signed up), the lyrics say, and then comes the question repeated like a personal invitation: are you coming with me?

The ending is my favourite part. It turns epic, almost afternoon-TV sci-fi: let's do something crazy, let's go back to being twenty, let's leave everything material on Earth. And it admits the risk with lots of humour: we might get stuck in another gravitational orbit, we might never be able to come back. Never mind. The idea is to stop being a mere mortal.

The song works as an anthem for the whole project, because GayFolk appears here as what it is in my universe: a place where you can be free. The planet has no coordinates, but it has a chorus.

Put it on on a Monday at eight in the morning, on the metro, when routine looks you in the eye. And if someone next to you smiles, ask them if they're coming.

Lyrics · Elon Musk Ha Anunciado

Despierto soloMiradas vacíasOlvido el tiempoRutina fría

Calle sin nombrePasos sin prisaGente sin rostroRutina sin risa

RutinaTodo se repiteRutinaNada me sorprendeRutinaSiempre lo mismo¡Me ofende!Y menos mal que ¡hoy!Elon Musk ha anunciadoEl primer viaje tripuladoAl planeta recientemente descubiertoLlamado GayFolkY menos mal que ¡hoy!Elon Musk ha anunciadoEl primer viaje tripuladoAl planeta recientemente descubiertoLlamado GayFolk

Trabajo insípidoCafé amargoTodo es tan rígidoMaldito letargo

Risas distantesSueños dormidosEmociones mutantesSiempre oprimidos

Y menos mal que ¡hoy!Elon Musk ha anunciadoEl primer viaje tripuladoAl planeta recientemente descubiertoLlamado GayFolkYo ya me he apuntado ¿Te vienes conmigo?

Yo ya me he apuntado ¿Te vienes conmigo?

¿Te vienes conmigo?

Y menos mal que ¡hoy!Elon Musk ha anunciadoEl primer viaje tripuladoAl planeta recientemente descubiertoLlamado GayFolkYo ya me he apuntado ¿Te vienes conmigo?

Yo ya me he apuntado ¿Te vienes conmigo?

¿Te vienes conmigo?

Hagamos la locura,Volvamos a los veinte años.Vayamos a GayFolkDejemos en la TierraTodo lo material, esta oportunidadNo es algo casualQuiero dejar de ser un simple mortalAunque nos juguemos la vidaY haya esa posibilidadDe quedarnos enganchados en otraÓrbita gravitacional y aunque puedeQue nunca podamos regresarHagamos la locura,Volvamos a los veinte años.Vayamos a GayFolk

Vayamos a GayFolk
