They are one of the most successful representatives of the "Rock Català" movement in the 2000s. Earlier in their career, they were characterized by their acoustics style -- just using guitars and bass, no percussion -- until 2002 when they added drums.

In summer 1993, Oriol Farré, Juanjo Muñoz, Natxo Tarrés and Roger Farré from Manresa, joined together to start a new band. They won an award with their first record "Gossos" (1994). After a few tours in Catalonia they edited their 2nd record "En privat" in 1996. Followed by "Mandala" (1997) and "Directament" (1998, recorded in the "Teatre Conservatori" of Manresa) with the collaboration of other consolidated members of the Catalan Rock like Cris Juanico, Gerard Quintana and Pemi Fortuny. In 2000 they recorded "De viaje", their only album in Castillian so far, followed by "Cares" (2001).

In 2002 they move away from their acoustical style to start using electric guitars and drums. Their latest albums recorded are "El Jardí del Temps" (2003), "8" (2005) and Oxygen (2007).

Ara Ho Veus
Gossos Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Desperta el dia comença, el sol surt fa estona
I la lluna se'n va, potser per tornar.
Espera't que aixequi la boira que el vent se l'emporti
I puguis marxar, potser per tornar.

T'allunyes d'un nord que s'ensorra
Que no té paciència per aturar
I tornar a començar.

Ara ho veus, ara ho veus i no pots parlar.
Desperta el mil·lenni comença,
Les ànimes tornen per imaginar
Un futur més llunyà.

Ara és l'hora que surti el Sol.

Despulla't i pren-te una estona per connectar
Amb la immensitat que no té final.

Ara ho veus, ara ho veus i no cal parlar.

Quan marxis, company, no oblidis que et duc
Per dins de la sang, quan vingui l'hivern
Hi haurà llenya al foc

Per si vols tornar....
O et vinc a buscar.

Overall Meaning

The song "Ara Ho Veus" by Gossos talks about the beginning of a new day, where the sun rises while the moon disappears, leaving a possibility of returning. The lyrics tell the listener to wait until the fog disappears, being carried away by the wind so that it's possible to leave, perhaps to return. The song touches on the theme of leaving home, a north that collapses and has no patience to stop and start over again. The millenium awakens, and the souls return to imagine a distant future. It's time for the sun to rise, and the listener is urged to take off their clothes and take a moment to connect with the endless immensity.

The lyrics are poetic, talking about the beginning of a new day and an awakening in humanity. The listener is being urged to pause, take a moment to connect with something bigger than themselves, and to keep in mind that they carry their companion with them wherever they go. The song encourages the listener to find meaning in their lives and to seek comfort when they need it.
