The band eventually broke up in 1996 and Bunbury started his solo career in 1997 with a techno album, Radical Sonora with his new band: Copi (piano), del Moran (bass), Ramón Gacias (drums) and former Héroes del Silencio guitarrist Alan Boguslavsky.
Recognized by his wish to always reinvent himself, Bunbury released in 1999 the album Pequeño, which sounded much different than anything he did before. His band also suffered changes, Boguslavsky was replaced by Rafa Domínguez, and the new faces, Ana Belén Estaje (violin), Luis Miguel Romero (percussion), Javier Iñigo, Javier García Vega & Antonio Ríos in the metal instruments.
This band was known as the "Huracán Ambulante" ("Rambling Hurricane") and recorded with Bunbury the rest of his solo discography, (except Antonio Ríos).
In 2005, after 8 years together, Bunbury dissolved the band and declared that will record a new album in 2006 only with his voice and a piano. Nevertheless, in early 2006 he recorded an album with spanish artist Nacho Vegas by the name of El tiempo de las cerezas.
His old band, Héroes del Silencio, reunited in 2007 for a short tour which visited Latin America, United States and Spain.
Si No Fuera Por Ti
Enrique Bunbury Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Qué clase de Frankenstein
Qué pedazo de los que se han roto me serviría de algo
Si no fuera por ti
Qué vampiro de los que me habitan
Sacaría hoy a alimentar
Una fotografía del perfil menos bueno
Si no fuera por ti
Todos tenemos algo que esconder…o no
Todos tenemos algo que decir…o no
Pero nada puedo mostrar
Y nada podría aportar
Si no fuera por ti
Si no fuera por ti
El triunfo de la confusión
Una botella de licor
El único amigo de la soledad razonable
Si no fuera por ti
Días de videoteca
Noches de bares y pirotecnia
Para incendiar el bosque basta con una cerilla
Si no fuera por ti
Todos tenemos algo que esconder o no
Todos tenemos algo que decir o no
Pero nada podremos ser
Y nada podría aportar
Si no fuera por ti
Si no fuera por ti
Si no fuera por ti
The lyrics of Enrique Bunbury's song "Si No Fuera Por Ti" reflect a sense of gratitude towards an unnamed muse or figure who has provided strength and inspiration to the singer. The opening lines suggest that without this person, the singer would be lost in a kind of existential limbo, unsure of what path to take or what pieces of themselves to cling to. The song's lyrics are characterized by vivid imagery and contrast, with references to monsters and vampires, as well as mundane experiences like watching movies or hanging out in bars.
