Sobre el álbum
La discografía de Marc Anthony nos presenta en "Mended" una faceta más madura y reflexiva, con un retorno al mercado anglosajón. De inmediato, este álbum explora temas de reconciliación, superación y la búsqueda de sanación, con una propuesta musical que fusiona el pop, el R&B y elementos latinos de forma sutil. El disco sirvió como un intento de conectar con una audiencia global, mostrando su versatilidad más allá de la salsa. Se convierte en un capítulo clave en su evolución.
Las canciones combinan baladas emotivas con ritmos más movidos, creando un equilibrio entre la introspección y la energía. "I've Got You" (versión en inglés de "Te Tengo Aquí"), "Love Won't Get Any Better" o "Everything You Do" son ejemplos claros de su habilidad para crear melodías pegadizas y letras que conectan con el oyente. Por otra parte, la producción es brillante y accesible, lo que le dio un sonido competitivo en el mercado internacional. El álbum suena sofisticado y contemporáneo, una muestra de su capacidad para explorar diversos géneros musicales con maestría.
"Mended" no solo representó un desafío artístico para Marc Anthony, sino que también consolidó su reputación como un artista ambicioso y sin límites, capaz de trascender barreras idiomáticas. Su frescura y su profesionalismo se mantienen intactos, demostrando que su talento es universal. Es una prueba irrefutable de que Marc Anthony siempre estuvo dispuesto a explorar nuevos caminos y a "reparar" su sonido con nuevas influencias.

Letra
Look at me I'm not the man I used to be When she smiles at me I live the light I used to see There she goes and i know On my own I'm not whole Can't believe She can't see That she's taken the best part of me [Chorus:] I'm half a man with half a heart With naothing left to tear apart Half of me is walking 'round The other half is on the ground She mends me What's to see I had it all in front of me It's all on me All in the name of vanity There she goes and I know On my own I'm not whole Can't believe She can't see That she's taken the best part of me [Repeat Chorus] Tell me where I am nothing else can replace her how do i go on the way I am [Repeat Chorus] - I've Got You3:49

Time after time You turn on what I thought was good And leave me behind You should have loved me like you know that you could But oh- no this won't be no hard goodbye Oh- no you can't hurt me this time [Chorus:] She doesn't love- On my lord It doesn't mean it's a tragedy, tragedy She doesn't mean it - say that she don't This dosen't have to be a tragedy, tragedy All of my life I was searching for the love that we had Without knowing why You turned around and treat me so bad But oh- no I'll just hold my tears inside oh- no maybe you'll find another lover who will cry [Repeat Chorus] On the phone for hours But we had very little conversation We spoke of words with no meaning We spoke of love with no end I'll tell myself agian [Repeat Chorus] - I Reach for You3:26
Letra
Baby love Sometimes it's hard for me to tell you what I'm thinking of So I try to find a way that I can show you love What you mean to me It's not enough to give you everything that you were ever dreaming of I could never find a way that I could pay you love For all the things you do 'Cause when my life gets crazy The only one who comforts me is you [Chorus:] When I'm feeling all alone When I'm searching for someone I can run to I reach for you When I need a hand to hold Or a place where I can feel what love can do I reach for you Needing you Is something that I've really gotten used to I can't imagine being here with no one else No one but you What I found Is it dosen't get much better than when you're around Having you is all I really need when I get down You pull me through 'Cause when my life Gets crazy The only one who comforts me is you - I Swear3:46
Letra
I have never seen an angel standing oh so close to me I have never touched someone and felt so electricity I am taken over by the endless possibilities And I'm waiting for the day you say that you belong to me I swear No one will ever love you better I swear We could be so good together [Chorus:] I never wanted anyone the way I want you (baby) I never met someone who gives me everything you do I swear If I'm with you there's no other I swear There will never be another Cause of you there are more reasond to be thatnkful everday Cause of you I'm reminded of the chances I should take It't the comfort of your warm embrace that shelters all the rain And there's nothing I wouldn't give for you to feel the same I swear No one will ever love you better I swear We could be so good together [Repeat Chorus] Somewhere, Somehow you appeared And everything's so different now When your around The promise of all we could be Is what keeps me going now I'm never down [Repeat Chorus (x's 4)] - Don't Tell Me It's Love3:34

Letra
I used to try To set aside Some Time for being lonely So many times I prayed to find Someone like you to hold me All I know is that when I think of you I'm not alone I just simply close me eyes And sing my song And I am home Loving where I belong [Chrous:] Do you believe in loneliness I do now that's where I found you and I'll never let you go When all I knew was onlyness There you were With you around Who's lonely now I feared the night But now it's mine 'Cause something's out there for me Let's take our time I'm satisfied With having you to own me All I know is that when I think of you I'm not alone I just simply close my eyes And sing my song And I am home Loving where I belong [Repeat Chorus] - Give Me a Reason3:10

I should have told you I should have found a way I should have worked a little harder just to show you love If I'd have given A little more of my time Maybe I could have saved the best thing that I ever had Now I am faced with lonely nights And I can't bear to live my life Knowing that I might be losing you [Chrous:] Give me a reason to stay Because I want to Baby, just give me a sign that let's me know you really care Show me a better way that I can love you Baby, I'll do my best to make a change Just give me a reason I wanna please you I wanna understand I wanna know that you still want me when I touch your hand I've got a feeling That you're just scared to try Girl, I promise you this time that I won't let you down 'Cause I can't take these lonely nights And I can't bear to live my life Knowing that I might be losing you [Repeat Chorus] - I Wanna Be Free3:56
Letra
All my life I've followed signs On many a road Tried to find What was right And do what I'm told But sometimes You cross the line And never can go back home I've been here And I've been there Always on the go Looking for Something more To call my own Up to now I have found That life as a whole was cold 'Cause I've never belonged [Chorus:] I wanna be free And live without warning I wanna finally see What it's like on the other side I wanna be free 'Cause a new day is dawning I wanna be me I wanna show the world I'm alive Who's to say I need change And I am not what I'm not Look at me And what you see Has been through alot Now it's time For me to find What love's really all about And all that I've lived without [Repeat Chorus] - Everything You Do3:23

I love the way you smile when I look in your eyes I love the way you laugh when I try to be funny And how the tears roll down your face When I say no one could ever take your place [Chorus:] Cause baby when you sleep I watch you breathing Baby when you dream I dream with you Cause everywehre you are is where I want to be it's true Everything you do makes me know how much I love you The way you touch my lips right after every kiss And softly whisper that I'm your everything The way you pray our love won't die Everynight just before you close your eyes [Repeat Chorus] And I believe some things are meant to be Sure as there is love yours was meant for me [Repeat Chorus] - Te Tengo Aquí3:59
