Durante el verano de 1998, Felipe Toro y Claudio Valenzuela se conocen en el mítico y desaparecido bar "La Blusera" del Barrio Bellavista, Santiago, Chile. Ambos se dan cuenta que coincidían en la inquietud de formar una banda de blues y rock en español que llenara el vacío que existía respecto de este estilo en el país. Ese mismo día deciden llamar a la banda El Cruce, “en honor al rey del Delta Blues, Robert Johnson, de quién se dice vendió su alma al diablo en un cruce de caminos para ser el mejor blusero del mundo”, afirma Felipe, guitarra y voz del grupo.
El Cruce está compuesto por: Felipe Toro (voz y guitarra), Claudio ‘Bluesman’ Valenzuela (armónica y coros), Jorge Quinteros (batería), Pablo Castillo (piano y teclados), Eduardo ‘Negro’ Silva (bajo) y Orlando Miranda (percusión latina, guitarra acústica y coros). Ocasionalmente se integra además a Andrea Rodríguez (coros).

Para de Odiar
El Cruce Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cuando caen los brazos y te echas a morir
Ya no te quedan fuerzas ni para respirar
Me veo en un espejo cuando te veo llorar
Pero te pido para de odiar ¡para!
Te lo suplico para de odiar ¡para!
Pero te digo para de odiar ¡para!
Yo sé que lo que digo te suena muy cliché
Pero la vida es una y sólo se vive una vez
No siempre las cosas son como quieres que sean
Tu horrible pesimismo ya me hinchó las hueas
