Cambio de sentido, by Astrud
I'm guessing it's a two part piece like a story across two separate songs. It sounds really cool.

Well, kind of... it's the last song of the same EP album about "change", and a bit of a "play".
This one's called "Cambio de sentido" and it plays with the meanings of the word "sentido". It means "sense", "meaning", or "way", depending on how you use it, or context.
The first song ("Cambio de idea") plays with change in perception, change of your ideas about life in a relationship (sense or meaning, in a way). This second song is the same song, but played and singed backwards. It's a play with the meaning "way", literally it'd mean "change of way", backwards instead of forwards, if it makes any sense with me trying to explain it with by broken language.
I thought you understood/spoke (some) Spanish. :-)

The second song on the record is called "Cambio de tiempo". "Tiempo" means "time" or "moment in time". They singe about "moving" to different historical moments, both ancient (like Egypt, or Rome, etc) and more recent (like 2016 or other particular moments f their lives).

The third song on this fabulous collection (EP album) is "Cambio de forma", which means "change of shape". He sings about how he changes his "shape" or his looks: "I change my shape", "I change my looks", "I am a triangle", "I am fusiform", "I'm learning to behave like a right angle", etc...
All this change is also about change of perspective and change in his relation with the world and the others (his partner, again). It's a wonderful (to me) song, very playful and a bit crazy, with all the changing geometrical shapes and perspectives... With "perspectiva" meaning perspective (geometry again), but also prospects (about the future).
The whole EP is a crazy lovely mix of irony and plays with words and their meaning. To me it's an amazing amusing but profound work exploring meanings, impressions, sensations, feelings... At the end of the day it's what music is all about, isn't it?
Sorry for the long description and also for eventually linking all four songs. :-)
Nah, I don't speak Spanish, not really, I can sort of get by ordering food and beer but otherwise not really.
I really like the storyline of these four tracks, and how the whole thing evolves all the way through them. Its a really cool story, like going on a journey through the tracks.
