Dread Mar I turns classic heartbreak into a warm reggae confession in “Así Fue – En Vivo.” The singer stands in front of an old flame with a mix of honesty, regret, and newfound peace. He admits he has fallen for someone else, apologizes for reopening wounds, and explains that love is “no longer in his hands.” While he once cried over their breakup, a “ser divino” has taught him to forget and forgive, leaving no room for romantic nostalgia.
The song’s pulse is bittersweet: it comforts the ex-lover with friendship, urges her not to cling to an “impossible” past, and celebrates personal growth. Listeners feel the tension between lingering affection and the liberating joy of moving on—perfect for anyone learning that the healthiest goodbye can also be a beautiful new beginning.
