Composition

Music

The song's title comes from albums frontman Gustavo Cerati's parents owned, which were named "Light Classics of all Times"

The song was written to be intentionally simplistic. Four chords (Bm, G, D, A) comprise most of the song as well as the opening riff. The lyrics only compose of seven lines.

The song's meaning was left intentionally ambiguous by the band, but is implied to be about a nostalgic past relationship between two lovers

Music video

The accompanying music video to the song was directed by Alfredo Lois and shows the band performing the song behind a colorful background
