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.
Tú
Duncan Dhu Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tras la luz de un corazón
Herido y en paz
Bajo el cielo protector
Tras el tacto de tu voz
Cálida miel
Se clavan en mí
Mi sonrisa
Descansa en tu piel
Cuando te vas
Tú iluminas lo mejor de mi corazón
Tú, sólo tú
Con el viento a favor
Inocencia dulce y fiel
Cabezota como yo
Ducha de amor
La belleza se hizo flor
Y la flor se hizo canción
Dentro de mí
These lyrics from Duncan Dhu's song "Tú" describe a fragile, paper-thin shadow that is illuminated by the light of a wounded yet peaceful heart. The singer compares himself to this shadow, indicating that he feels just as vulnerable as it. However, he finds comfort and warmth in the touch of the person he is singing to, describing it as "warm honey". The singer finds solace in this person's voice and heartbeats, stating that his smile rests on their skin.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the importance of this person in the singer's life. They light up the best part of his heart and with them by his side, he feels like he has the wind at his back. The second verse describes this person as having a sweet and faithful innocence, being just as stubborn as the singer, and showering him with love. The beauty of this person is compared to a flower, which has inspired the singer to turn their beauty into a song that lives inside of him.
