1) Fabiano Anthony Forte (born February 6, 1943, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania),is an American teen idol of the late 1950s and early 1960s. He rose to national prominence after performing several times on American Bandstand. In total, he charted 11 hit singles on the Billboard Hot 100.
abian was discovered in 1957 by Bob Marcucci and Peter DeAngelis, owners of Chancellor Records. At the time, record producers were looking to the South Philadelphia neighborhoods in search of teenage talents with good looks, and Frankie Avalon, also of South Philly, suggested Fabian as a possibility.
With songwriters Doc Pomus and Mort Shuman, Fabian released a series of hit singles for Chancellor Records including "I'm a Man", "Hound Dog Man", a #9 hit in the U.S., "Turn Me Loose" (U.S. #9), and his biggest hit, "Tiger", which reached number 3 in the U.S. charts. Other singles that charted included "String Along", "About This Thing Called Love" and "This Friendly World", which reached #12 on the U.S. charts.
His career in music basically ended after he bought out of his contract with Marcucci after signing a seven-year contract with 20th Century Fox. During the payola scandal of the 1960s, Fabian testified before Congress that his recordings had been doctored electonically to significantly improve his voice.

4) FABIAN is about
body symbolism, pop ambivalences,
classical tunes of rock history and groove.
Based in Leipzig FABIAN started in 2013.
Die Band um Sängerin Maria6668 verwandelt pulsierende Texturen in präzise Rhythmen und spielt sich dabei durch unterschiedlichste musikalische Stilistik. Schöne Melodiebögen werden auf nahezu ironische Art und Weise gebrochen und tauchen fast unbemerkt in einem neuen musikalischen Kontext wieder auf.

Ey bien, parece que me he perdido
Entre tanto amigo y vaya
Lo cierto es que me cuesta respirar

Ey bien, parece que he vivido
Lo que viven los que mienten
Los que gritan tu nombre entre tanta gente
Los que sin pensarlo

Se van a beber al bar

Ey bien, y qué me cuentas
Ha pasado tanto tiempo
Es como lamentarse por querer vivir al ciento por ciento
Y no llegar al ni al cincuenta

Pero no, no somos mejores que nadie
Y como los gatos nos lamemos las heridas
Lo cierto es que estoy cansado
De tener que repetir tantas mentiras

Te he echado de menos hoy
Te he echado de menos
Te he echado de menos hoy
Te he echado de menos

Ey bien, parece que te he encontrado
Durmiendo al otro lado
Entre tanta lucha
Entre tanto frente
Y tanta conversación urgente
Hace falta ser jodidamente fuerte

Pero no, no somos mejores que nadie
Y como los gatos nos lamemos las heridas
Lo cierto es que estoy cansado
De tener que repetir tantas mentiras

Te he echado de menos hoy
Te he echado de menos

Te he echado de menos hoy
Te he echado de menos

Overall Meaning

The song "Como Los Gatos" by Fabián is a contemplative ballad about feeling lost among friends, struggling to breathe, and the fatigue of constantly repeating lies. The lyrics reflect on the common experience of feeling lost in life and trying to find oneself in a sea of faces. The song suggests that we are not better than anyone else and that, like cats, we lick our wounds, but we also need to be strong in the face of adversity.

The song's opening lines, "Ey bien, parece que me he perdido/ Entre tanto amigo y vaya/ Lo cierto es que me cuesta respirar," set the tone for the rest of the piece. The singer is lost in a sea of friends and feeling suffocated. The next lines suggest the singer has lived a life of lies, shouting another's name among the crowd while drinking at the bar without thinking. The song then moves onto a reflection on time and the regret of not living life fully, but the singer does not want to resort to half-measures. The chorus repeats the refrain "Te he echado de menos hoy," which translates to "I missed you today."

The next verse takes a different turn. The singer thinks they may have found the person they were looking for, but that person is sleeping on the other side, fighting battles and having urgent conversations. The verse highlights the importance of being strong and acknowledges the constant need to lick our wounds like cats, as it is difficult to admit to our pain. In the end, the singer reiterates their fatigue of telling constant lies, reminiscent of the opening lines of the song.
