One time when I was hanging out with my buddy Carlos and his brother Danny, I was telling Danny about some of the Spanish language songs I was getting into as I was starting to learn the language. The first one I showed him was this song by Carin Leon, which was also the first Spanish language song I learned all the lyrics to. When we looked up the video on YouTube, I was surprised to see that it already had around 80,000,000 views, as I didn’t think the song had really been out that long. Danny just smiled at me and said, “There’s way more of us than there are of you.” And we both had a good laugh.
