More thoughts

And more spoilers to go with them.

Were all the songs in Ernesto’s movies also stolen from Héctor? I mean, Miguel thinks that he wrote all his own songs (pretty sure he stated that at one point but please correct me if I’m wrong), so it sounds like they were?

If that is true, I would like to offer the idea that both the song snippets in “Much Needed Advice” are about/inspired by his feelings for Imelda.

A feeling so close/you could reach out and touch it/I never knew I could/want something so much/but it’s true…

Please imagine an absolutely hopelessly lovesick Héctor singing about Imelda, being frustrated that he can’t figure her out, consoling himself with this song.

Only a song/only a song/has the power to change a heart

And I dunno maybe one of Héctor’s songs finally got through to her (the previous one? Un poco loco?) And she softened towards him, and he’s marvelling at how much a little song has managed to open her up and oh my God, he thought he was in love before but he is so in love now he can barely stand himself.
