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.

Cap al tard
Gossos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
avui tampoc t'he trobat
i així passen els dies.
La veïna del tercer,
em diu si tinc res a fer,
avui estic massa cansat.
Amb al cotxe he solcat,
però de tu ningú no en sap res.
Sense cap pista de tu
camino cec i sense llums,
ni tan sols sé quin és el teu nom.
Deixa de plorar em diu sempre la meva mare
ja la trobaràs, però mama jo em sento sol.
Ja no queden gaires dies per a tu
Ja no queden gaires nits per als dos
Ja no queden gaires nits per a tu.
La veïna del tercer
em diu si tinc res a fer.
Així passen els dies...
Ja no queden gaires dies per a tu
Ja no queden gaires nits per als dos
Ja no queden gaires dies per a tu
Ja no queden massa nits per als dos.

The song "Cap al tard" by Gossos talks about the feeling of loneliness and desperation that one experiences when they are unable to find the person they are looking for. The singer is coming back home late, once again having failed to find the person they are looking for, and the days are slowly passing by. The third-floor neighbor asks them if they have anything to do, but the singer is too exhausted. They have driven through the whole city, but nobody seems to know where the person they are looking for is. The singer is walking blindly, without any direction or light, not even knowing the name of the person they are trying to find. The lyrics convey a sense of hopelessness, as the singer is unable to find the person they feel so deeply for and is left with nothing but their own thoughts and emotions.
The song also touches on the theme of family support. The singer's mother tells them to stop crying and assures them that they will find the person they are looking for, but the singer still feels alone. However, their mother's words show that they have someone who cares about them and supports them, even if they can't find the person they are searching for.
Overall, "Cap al tard" is a poignant and emotional song that explores the themes of loneliness, desperation, and family support.
