Eddie Navega ‘Where I Stand’: Standing Anyway / Quedarse De Pie
[EN] Not every song tries to save you. This one doesn’t even try. It just sits beside you, lets the night settle, and stays quiet in the dark. “Where I Stand” carries the weight of the day without shaking.
[ES] No todas las canciones intentan salvarte. Esta, por ejemplo, sólo se sienta al lado, deja que caiga la noche y espera contigo. “Where I Stand” sostiene el peso del día sin temblar.
[EN] The voice comes in bare and steady, tired but clear-eyed. Each line lands where it stings just enough to make sense. The guitar wears its cracks openly. No nostalgia costume, just presence. Rough, patient, breathing between chords. It sounds like an old backyard, like a road with no witnesses, like a mind thinking louder than it speaks.
[ES] La voz llega cruda y directa, desde un cansancio lúcido. Cada palabra aterriza donde tiene que doler. La guitarra tiene grietas. No actúa de nostalgia; existe. Áspera, paciente, respirando entre acordes. Suena a patio viejo, a carretera sin testigos, a una cabeza que piensa más de lo que dice.

[EN] There’s doubt in the future here. Not fear. Not theatrics. Just that slow-burning suspicion that the world tilted and no one’s fixing it. The song doesn’t fight it. It stays. Watches. Breathes slowly. Holds its ground.
[ES] Hay desconfianza en el futuro. No paranoia, no drama. Solo esa sospecha terca de que el mundo se torció y nadie va a enderezarlo. La canción no intenta resolverlo. Se queda. Mira. Respira hondo. Aguanta.
[EN] Sometimes, standing upright is all the work that needs to be done. Here, that feels like the truth.
[ES] A veces, quedarse de pie ya es hacer bastante. Y acá se entiende perfecto.
