Their style was based on an acoustic and simple pop-rock with a touch of rockabilly in great contrast with the more radical rock played in the area at the time. After being hired by 'Grabaciones Accidentales, S.A.' they contributed with two songs (Mi Amor and Bésame Mucho) to the new bands compilation La única alternativa (The Only Alternative).
In 1985 they recorded their first album, Por Tierras Escocesas (Around Scottish Lands), and Canciones (Songs) a year later, both produced by Paco Trinidad. The songs were immediately successful and gave them big popularity. After even more successful El Grito del Tiempo (The Cry of Time, 1984) and Grabaciones Olvidadas (Forgotten Recordings, a compilation of B-Sides, 1989) they became a duo and recorded the double album Autobiografía (Autobiography), with collaborations by Black and Sam Brown among others. They later also had several hits such as "Esos Ojos Negros" ("Those Black Eyes"). They finally came to a close as a band with their final cd, "Crepúsculo y Crudités" (Sunset and Crudités [1]) which was more orchestrated and softer than their older music.
Their most known hit is "En Algún Lugar" ("In Some Place"). The song was initially featured in Canciones, but it was the remix included in El Grito del Tiempo that became widely popular.
Mundo De Cristal
Duncan Dhu Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sabes bien a quien has de mirar
Sonreír siempre sin hablar
Un sencillo juego
Al que tú quieres jugar
Mientras miran los demás
Te vestirán, te desnudarás
Y al salir, un regalo más
El deseo es caro
Para quien pretenda entrar
En el mundo de cristal
Figura esbelta
Sonrisa de ganador
Mirada lenta, chica
Y un dulce adiós
Días de gloria
Roma, París, Nueva York
Tú sigues siendo la mejor
Mundo de cristal
Un paso más sin mirar atrás
Está en tu mano, no lo pienses más
Llegaste aquí escogiendo bien
Cuando el tiempo es oro
Tu trabajo es caminar
Por tu mundo de cristal
Tu estilo es fino
Sabes cómo gustar
La suerte vino fácil
Y tú la usarás
La pasarela
Dicen, se hizo por ti
Por eso, ahora estás aquí
Mundo de cristal
Figura esbelta
Sonrisa de ganador
Mirada lenta, chica
Y un dulce adiós
Días de gloria
Roma, París, Nueva York
Tú sigues siendo la mejor
The song "Mundo De Cristal" by Duncan Dhu is a reflection on the glamorous and expensive world of high society. The lyrics suggest that the main character has worked hard to enter this world and will do whatever it takes to stay there, even if it means playing a game and appearing to be happy when they are not. The phrase "mundo de cristal" or "world of glass" refers to the fragility and transparency of this lifestyle, where appearances and social status are everything.
The song also addresses the pressure to maintain a certain image and the cost of this desire for material success. The line "el deseo es caro para quien pretenda entrar" or "desire is expensive for those who want to enter" suggests that the main character has paid a high price for their success, including engaging in drug use ("polvo blanco encima del cristal"). Despite this, they are still admired by others and considered a winner in the game of life.
