In 2003, Jesús Navarro and Julio Ramirez started their then-nascent musical project, tentatively called "Reik". It was then they recorded their first demos, which were released through the Mexican underground club scene. Two of the most successful demos — "Levemente" and "Ahora Sin Ti " — brought more widespread coverage across Mexico. In early 2004, Reik invited Gilberto to join the band. They have been famous ever since, mainly in Latin America, Mexico, and southern parts of the United States. Their videos have been broadcasted on famous music television channels, such as MTV and HTV.
Reik is the debut album, the first single "Yo Quisiera" got heavy rotation on Mexican pop radio stations and soon went to number one. Their second single "Qué Vida La Mía" also topped the Mexican charts as did their third single "Noviembre Sin Ti". Their fourth single, "Niña", failed to match the success of their previous singles, charting only at #33.
Their second album, Secuencia , was released on November 14, 2006, which featured the first single, "Invierno" (released on November 6), which gained a lot of popularity based Latin American airplay.
Reik has been nominated to the Latin Grammy in the category "Best New Artist". They have been nominated to "Premios Lo Nuestro", "Premios Juventud", and numerous other awards. The band also has 4 nominations to the MTV Video Music Awards Latin America in the categories of "Best Pop Artist", "Best Group", "Best Northern Region Artist", and "Best Northern Region New Artist", winning three out of four.
Noviembre sin ti
Reik Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
El cielo esta gris
La noche aparece sin ti
Callado en la playa
Te lloro en silencio otra vez
Me ahoga esta pena
No puedo vivir
Las olas no me hablan de ti
Sentado en la arena
Escribo tu nombre otra vez
Por que te extraño
Desde aquel Noviembre
Cuando soñamos juntos
A querernos siempre
Me duele, este frio Noviembre
Cuando las hojas caen
A morir por siempre
Noviembre sin ti es sentir que la lluvia
Me dice llorando que todo acabo
Noviembre sin ti es pedirle a la luna
Que brille en la noche de mi corazón
Otra vez, otra vez
Quisiera decirte
Que quiero volver
Tu nombre va escrito en mi piel
Ya es de madrugada
Te sigo esperando otra vez
Por que te extraño
Desde aquel Noviembre
Cuando soñamos juntos
A querernos siempre
Me duele, este frio Noviembre
Cuando las hojas caen
A morir por siempre
Noviembre sin ti es sentir que la lluvia
Me dice llorando que todo acabo
Noviembre sin ti es pedirle a la luna
Que brille en la noche de mi corazón
Otra vez, otra vez
Noviembre sin ti es sentir que la lluvia
Me dice llorando que todo acabo
Noviembre sin ti es pedirle a la luna
Que brille en la noche de mi corazón
Otra vez, otra vez
In Reik's song "Noviembre sin ti", the singer is expressing their deep sadness and longing for someone who is no longer in their life. The setting is a chilly November night at the beach, and the gray sky and falling leaves serve to further accentuate the singer's melancholy mood. The lyrics speak to the pain of missing someone who once meant everything to them and the difficulty of moving on from that kind of loss. The singer is so consumed by their grief that they find it impossible to enjoy life without this person, and they pour their heart out in silent tears on the beach. While they wait for the person to come back to them, they continue to torment themselves by writing the person's name in the sand, as if they can summon their love back through the force of their longing.
The chorus contains some of the most powerful lyrics in the entire song, as the singer speaks to the raw pain of experiencing love lost. For them, November without this person is like watching the rain falling and feeling as though it is crying for them. They beg the moon to shine in their heart and bring back the love that they have lost. The repetition of the phrase "otra vez" adds to the emotional impact of the chorus, emphasizing the singer's desperation and their sense of being trapped in a cycle of heartache.
This song is a testament to the power of a lost love to haunt us even long after it is gone. The singer is deeply affected by the memory of this person and cannot shake their feelings of sadness, no matter what they do. The emphasis on the rain, the cold, and the darkness all contribute to the overall mood of the song, giving it a heavy sense of melancholy that resonates with anyone who has ever been heartbroken.
