The group was created in 1994 in Algete, Madrid, Spain by Dani Martín and Iván Ganchegui, who were both studying at the Cristina Rota School of Dramatic Arts. Their shared musical tastes resulted in the formation of the band.
At this time the group also included a female drummer, a bassist and another guitarist. However, the latter soon left the group because of other commitments, and the day before their first concert David Otero, Dani's cousin, joined the group as a substitute. The drummer and bassist also decided to leave the group not long after. The band's original drummer was replaced by Jandro Velázquez, an electrician, who was the son of friends of Dani's parents. The position of bassist was filled by Chema Ruiz who was studying physiotherapy at the same university as David and who was a friend of one of his friends. With this line-up the band started to meet in a warehouse in the Algete area of Madrid in order to rehearse and their friends would act as critics.
Influenced mainly by other Spanish groups from the 1980s and with five studio albums, El Canto del Loco went on to sell more than a million albums, making them one of the most successful bands on the Spanish music scene in recent years.
The group announced their separation in 2010 as the members of the group wanted to pursue solo careers.
Para Siempre
El Canto del Loco Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que mientras tanto tú
Ya no piensas en ser
La niña que hace tiempo fuiste
Y que hiciste este dolor
Sólo quiero volver
a ver esa ilusión
en esos ojos que antes me enseñaban
Vuelve a estar conmigo
Vuelve a sonreir
Vuelve a este camino
Vuelve para vivir
Y pienso en lo que he perdido
Y siento lo que es sentir
Qué sepas que estoy dolido
Y ya no voy a saber de ti
Hoy estoy tan solo y sé
Que sólo faltas tu
Y sólo pienso en ser la causa
que haga que te rías
y que exista esta canción
Yo no quiero volver a esa situación
Con esos gestos que eran mi alimento
Y me llegan y ahora yo te pido
Vuelve a estar conmigo
Vuelve a sonreir
Vuelve a este camino
Vuelve para vivir
Y pienso en lo que he perdido
Y siento lo que es sentir
Qué sepas que estoy dolido
Y ya no voy a saber de ti
The lyrics of "Para Siempre" by El Canto del Loco express the pain and longing of a person who has been left behind by someone they loved. The first stanza describes the singer's current state of grief and acknowledges that the person who left them is no longer the same as the one they used to know. The singer remembers the hope and joy they used to see in their eyes, but now all they see is the worst in everything. The second stanza reveals the singer's desire to have the person back, to make them smile, and to have them on this journey called life. The singer regrets losing the person and feels the pain of not knowing whether they will ever see them again.
The writer expresses the pain of separation and nostalgia in a way that is raw and relatable. The use of simple language and repetition, along with the melody of the song, creates an emotional impact that draws the listener in. The lyrics also speak to the idea that love is never certain or completely in our control, and that sometimes we have to let go of the people we love, even if it causes us pain.
