1.) Gandhi is a Costa Rican rock band formed by Luis Montalbert-Smith (lead vocals, keys, songwriting), Federico Miranda (lead guitar), Abel Guier (bass) and Massimo Hernández (drums). Inspired in brittish groups such as Pink Floyd, Queen and the Beatles, and latinamerican bands Soda Stereo and Caifanes, they have released four albums: "El Jardín del Corazón" (1997), "Páginas Perdidas" (2000), "BIOS" (2002) and "Ciclos" (2004).
They are known for their campaign against arming and domestic violence entitled "ARMAS, NO GRACIAS" which is demonstrated in the thematic of one of their latest singles "Sr. Caballero". Other well-known hits are "El Invisible", "Quisieras", "Seca Reja Roja" and "En Dibujos Animados".
They also recorded a Soda Stereo Tribute (with the song Séptimo día) wich includes very important latinamerican musicians such as Jumbo, Moenia, Aterciopelados, Julieta Venegas and Control Machete. They've shared the stage with bands and artists such as Café Tacuba, La Ley, Deep Purple, Los Enanitos Verdes, Jaguares, Aterciopelados.
2.) Gandhi was an American rock band formed by Helmet frontman Page Hamilton (vocals/lead guitar), with Anthony Truglio (guitar), John Andrews (guitar/vocals), Christian Bongers (bass guitar/vocals), and Matt Flynn (drums). Hamilton would terminate the project in favor of revitalizing Helmet in 2003, though material written under the Gandhi moniker would be reworked for Helmet albums Size Matters and {i]Monochrome. A 10-song demo has since leaked onto the internet.

Gandhi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Señales mudas de exactitud
Como si fueran una conspiración
Repentina en la inspiración (de sutilezas y de emoción)
Busco lo esencial en lo simple
Alza la mirada
Somos circunstancias
Un accidente a punto de ocurrir
Sobran las palabras
Respirar profundo me conecta al mundo
Un silencioso amanecer
Cegar al tiempo y ensordecer
Si vuelo alto tendré que aterrizar
Buscar mis huellas al regresar
Busco lo esencial en lo simple
Alza la mirada
Que un camino falta conducir
Somos circunstancias
Un accidente a punto de ocurrir
Sobran las palabras
Respirar profundo me conecta al mundo: en el interior del propio ser humano
The lyrics to Gandhi's song Simple reflect on the idea of finding beauty in simplicity and focusing on what is truly essential in life. The first verse speaks of movements in stillness and the subtle signals of accuracy that appear in these moments, almost as if it were a sudden inspiration of subtlety and emotion. The chorus then declares the search for the essential in the simple, a quest for the fundamental meaning of life.
The second verse continues the theme of observing the world around us and connects our existence to the larger picture. It urges us to look up and take note of the road yet to be traveled and understand the nature of our existence as circumstantial, ready to encounter accidents at any moment. The lyrics suggest that words are unnecessary and that taking a deep breath can connect us to the world within ourselves.
Finally, the song ends with a reflection on the beauty of the quiet dawn and how it can overwhelm and captivate us as we lose track of time. However, the lyrics remind the listener that if we soar too high, we must return to our roots and seek out our path once again. The song as a whole sends a message of reflection and mindfulness, urging us to simplify our lives and find the beauty in the small moments of everyday existence.
