Until today, I had heard the name Tommy Torres just once, because he collaborated with one of my favorite artists: Juanes. However I have to admit I was unaware that Tommy Torres was a Puerto Rican singer and songwriter that has collaborated with great artist such as @Ricardo_Arjona @Juanes and @aliciakeys


Besides, his talent, I also have to admit he has good looks…

This year on June 12, Tommy Torres held a Twit cam to promote his new single “Querido Tommy”. The song was a suggestion from one of Torres’ fans, Paco that asked him on twitter to help him profess his love to a girl. (As an update, Paco has since, closed his twitter account and Tommy Torres does not know if his advice was effective).

The song is written in a very plain language and the video is very well designed. Different to almost every song video lately that seems to be really extravagant; his video is of very high quality and very appealing to the eyes but it is also a down to earth video that express the real meaning of the song.




Tommy Torres a Grammy Award winner is probably going to continue winning more awards with songs like this one.

I want to invite you to connect with Tommy Torres. You can follow him on Twitter @tommy_torres or maybe
like his page on Facebook, who knows, you might be featured on one of his future songs.

You can also subscribe to his YouTube channel http://www.youtube.com/TommyTorresWML

The video is also on his web page 

You can also enjoy some of his previous songs: Pegadito and Como Olvidar

I am sharing the lyrics of the song for your enjoyment.
Querido Tommy:
Te escribo esta carta,
no sé si tú realmente lees estas
cartas, te escribo para pedirte algo
que para mí, es de vida o muerte,
no pienses que exagero, es la verdad

Mi nombre es Paco y te escribo de Santiago
hay una chica que no se sale de mi mente


Para eso eres tan elocuente y a ella le encantan tus canciones, ya te imaginas para dónde voy

Es que con ella no me salen las palabras y quizás tú pudieras ayudarme a decirle que yo muero aquí por ellam de una forma un poco más poética
que  eso del romanticismo
a mí, no se me da, dame algo tan bonito
que le saque mil suspiros
decirle que la amo y nada más
no sé si bastará

Señor Tommy:
aquí le escribo nuevamente,
no me ha contestado pensaba
que era buena gente,
puede que esté muy ocupado
pero yo estoy desesperado,
ayúdeme a encontrar la forma

De decirle que yo muero aquí por ella
de una forma un poco más poética
que eso del romanticismo
a mí no se me da,
déme algo tan bonito que le
saque mil suspiros, decirle que la amo
y nada más, no sé si bastará

Amigo Paco, disculpa la demora
espero no te moleste que haya copiado
aquí tu historia, en el amor no soy experto,
no sé de donde sacaste eso,
nada puedo estar más lejos de la verdad

No confundas, palabrería por sentimiento
las metáforas, solo pajas del intelecto
si me preguntas que decirle a tu chica
sólo dile que te mueres por ella
no se me ocurre una mejor manera
que eso del romantismo, es sólo
un juego de ajedrez
cuando se trata de sentimientos,
no hay nada como ser directo,
dile que la amas y nada más,
seguro bastará

Dear Tommy,
I'm writing you this letter,
I don't know if you really read these letters,
I'm writing you to ask you for something
for me, it's life or death,
don't think I'm exaggerating, it's the truth

My name is Paco
and I'm writing from Santiago,
there's a girl that I can't take off my mind

For those things, you're so eloquent
and she loves your songs, by now,
you can imagine where I'm going

When I'm with her, I have no words
and perhaps, you can help me tell
her that I'm dying for her [love]
in a more poetic way being romantic
is no me at all
give me something so beautiful that it will take her
breath away tell her that I love her
and that's all, I don't know if it
will be enough

Mr. Tommy
I'm writing you again, you haven't replied,
I thought you were a good guy,
maybe you're too busy, but I'm desperate,
help me find a way

To tell her that I'm dying for her [love]
in a more poetic way being
romantic is no me at all
give me something so beautiful
something no one ever has said to her,
tell her that I love her and that's all
I don't know if it will be enough

My friend Paco, Sorry for the delay,
I hope you're not mad because
I've used your story [in this song]
in love matters, I'm not an expert,
I don't know why you'd think that
that's far from the truth

Don't confuse idle talk with real feelings
metaphors, if you're asking me what to tell your girl,
just tell her you're dying to have her [love],
I can't think of a more direct way
and romanticism it's just a game of chess,
when it's about feelings, it's
better to be straightforward,
tell her you love her and just that,
I will  probably be enough.
