about

ABOUT THIS TRACK:
Una canción de reivindicación generacional. En la letra se reconocen acontecimientos, referentes y actitudes. Probablemente, de tanto preguntarnos cómo es que montábamos una banda por primera vez “a nuestra edad” nos debió surgir la necesidad de explicar de dónde venimos. Y de contar que ya estamos listos para disfrutar, descansar y dejar que sean otros los que cambien de nuevo el mundo.
Queríamos que la gente se envolviera en la guitarra y las cuerdas y mientras la escuchara se abandonara a la auto-indulgencia, que en pequeñas dosis es necesaria, saludable y recomendable.

lyrics

WHEN WE WERE BORN (Lyrics)

Hey you, people from baby boom
Remember when we were born?
There was someone walking on the moon
While we just crawled in our room

When cold war became heat
We spent time growing a bit
They put colours on tv
So amazing, all we could see

We hammered the Berlin wall
Before helping the Internet grow
We learned to talk without wires or censorship
But we are not ready, now not still ready to go forward

You, people from baby boom
Remember when we were born?
There was someone walking on the moon
While we just crawled in our room

Some excuses to expand our minds
Looking like aliens in Mos Eisley cantina
But soon, we'll look like our mom and dad
So amazing, when you think back

We flew to the stars
We've seen things you people wouldn't believe
We traveled the world without fear or destiny
So now we're ready, yes we are ready, to stay at home
