An operation for a herniated disc has temporarily deprived us of the meeting with Miguel Bosé, who this week has published his second book 'Historia secreta de mis mejor songs' (Ed. Espasa). A journey to decipher everything that is found through the 60 songs that he has written and published throughout his musical career. In the words of Bosé himself “I am afraid that this book is going to break many illusions. Also rooted stories, from long ago. I am sorry. But I think that, after so many years of license, the time has come to decipher the hidden secrets, those that I have been keeping in each one of them”. An undoubtedly exciting journey that breaks many legends and that after reading it carefully can create new unknowns.
Bosé has sung in favor of peace, against the mistreatment of women, has paid tribute to Lorca and Seville, reconciled with his father in 'The son of Captain Thunder', sang to the long-awaited freedom in full transition and composed a prayer 'I believe in you', at the age of sixteen, which still works for him today and he recites it in difficult times. It was his salvation in his first downturn, in full fury of his success in Italy concerts, trips and interviews, he fell ill with hepatitis that forced him to stay in bed for six months. "This song speaks to my strength and my will to turn around the most terrible things and positive feeling," he explains in the book.
Duato, the first failure
But if there is something curious to discover, it is the sentimental life of the singer, which he has been shaping through his discography, and which until today had managed to become impenetrable. What the book contains has little or nothing to do with the relationships or romances that had been speculated on until now. No trace of Ana Obregón, if she dates the end of her relationship with Nacho Palau, who publicly said he had been with the singer for 26 years. Perhaps he is surprised when he reads it, and the dates do not fit or he is surprised that there were other loves involved. Bosé doesn't have phone numbers and calls, but the clues he leaves behind are easy to encrypt. The only one that does publish a photograph of the two very accomplices, is of the dancer Nacho Duato, who on one occasion said soberly about his relationship with the singer “We like each other. We live in New York and we were happy.” Bosé now takes the opportunity to confess that the dancer was his first sentimental failure and related how hard the breakup was under the New York snow. “These were not good times for my heart, which it has just left behind, I did not know if with firm intention or on a whim and cowardice, a story of love and dance in the land of Manhattan”. At that time he was 22 years old, and that love from which he fled left him in pieces, composing 'Morir de amor' included in the album 'MIGUEL' was therapeutic.

In 1986, the artist's heart beat strongly again, this time it was a torrid love with Giannina Facio, a Costa Rican of whom Bosé says "was alive in my memory for a long time, a long time, in fact, it still is" . She corresponds to him as a yardstick for the following women who entered her life… «My girl was a diva, she stands out, sexy to die for, funny like no other, cunning as a bitch, quick as her whip». According to Bosé, she lasted the most pleasant years of his life. In an interview granted to 'Corriere Della Sera' he acknowledged that his was a crush and that he met him at Julio Iglesias' house in Miami. The young daughter of former Costa Rican ambassador and foreign minister Gonzalo Facio, she lived with Bosé at the Diana hotel in Milan, in a kind of attic, where the artist said they spent entire afternoons listening to music or reading in silence. A vital experience that became a melody in 'Nena'. She joined Ridley Scott in 2015 as a film director and producer.
Unhealthy Rumors
It didn't take long for the singer's heart to return to a story that he describes as impossible “it wore me down to the edge of an abysmal precipice, it raised unhealthy rumours. Despite how isolated I was from the world, false friends worried about sending me all the evil things. But, although Bosé never entered the stake, he relieved himself by writing 'Que no hay'. A wedding in Tuscany at the end of the 80s gave him the opportunity to compose another of his greatest hits, 'Bambú'. There he was nicknamed Il Misericordioso and was carried away by the forbidden passion of many of the guests.
In 1995 he overlapped two relationships and realized that he could not commit to two strong stories. 'I can't find a moment to forget' (1995), born from the forced farewell of a love story that started rather than another. She interrupted the one that started first, something that she now recognizes was a mistake and cost her rivers of pain. It was his most unforgettable sexual relationship “the orgasms were sweet deaths that followed each other. The amount of love involved was of such dimensions, it took up so much space and left so much emptiness that, for a long time, years perhaps, I never found a moment to begin to forget it”, she recalls. That's when Nacho Palau enters the scene as a second option in the artist's heart. And it wasn't forever, at least not from what he says. In 2002, 'Morenamía' arrived, his most erotic song in the entire repertoire. “It has a muse inspire a number, last name, address and phone number. For obvious reasons I will not disclose your data. Today she is happily married, has a family and an impeccable reputation that cannot be sullied under any pretext. Although nothing would happen. Our shields the discreet trust that her marriage and I have, beyond past escapades, ”says Bosé. In the book they will discover that she hides that “no one like you knows how to make coffee for me…”.

In 2010, she prepared for the arrival of her sons Diego and Tadeo, and returned to her Ayurvedic practices - to heal body and mind - when she signed up for the Cardio Tour. And 2014 arrives, the year that will mark Bosé's heart forever. She explains it in 'Libre ya de amores', a song in which she describes the liberation she experienced the day she ended the longest story of his life. Nacho Palau said he had had a 26-year relationship with the singer, he already judged by the dates of the songs, it ended then. "I wanted to fly," says Bosé, who assures that he did not stop thinking about how much he postponed that moment "that rotted the little beauty that he managed to remember." And he came back to life more beautiful than he remembered it.
He has not sang to the love of a couple again. Her last song composed of her, written and recorded to date is dedicated to her two children. In 'Estaré', she talks about the anguish she felt when separating from them for work and the garden of emotions that she opened before him when she received them. “You are ready for anything. To die you have to die. Discover that your son is your true love. None before, none after."
