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).

Enlloc
Gossos Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Jo no me'n vaig enlloc
Ja no em mouré d'aquí
No me'n vaig enlloc

Brindant amb llaunes a un graó
Mentre saludes a tothom
De cop esclates a plorar
Avui ho has fet sense avisar

Són com les onades al mar
Quan creus que ja tot ha passat
Una altra et torna a colpejar

Jo no me'n vaig enlloc
Ja no em mouré d'aquí un altre cop
Jo no me'n vaig enlloc
No em mouré d'aquí un altre cop

Jo no me'n vaig enlloc

Sé que aquest cop si et deixo anar
El vent se t'endurà
Sembla mentida com dius les veritats
Però aquest cop res ja no em mourà
No corris, vine a poc a poc

Jo no me'n vaig enlloc
Ja no em mouré d'aquí un altre cop
Jo no me'n vaig enlloc
No em mouré d'aquí un altre cop Sento que això ja ha començat
I no sembla que vulgui parar
Avui no em mouré d'on sóc
Ara sé que aquí ho tinc tot

Jo no me'n vaig enlloc
Ja no em mouré d'aquí un altre cop
Jo no me'n vaig enlloc
No em mouré d'aquí un altre cop

Jo no me'n vaig enlloc
Aquest cop no em mouré d'aquí
No me'n vaig enlloc
No em mouré d'aquí un altre cop

Jo no me'n vaig enlloc

Ja no em mouré d'aquí
No me'n vaig enlloc...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Gossos's song "Enlloc" convey the sense of an individual who has found their sense of belonging and identity. The repetition of "Jo no me'n vaig enlloc" or "I'm not going anywhere" conveys the security and conviction of the singer in their current state. The composition utilizes a waltz-like rhythm with various instrumental elements interspersed in between. The instrumental arrangements reflect the ebb and flow of the lyrics, with moments of introspection and connection followed by moments of emotional release.

The second verse in particular, "Sé que aquest cop si et deixo anar/El vent se t'endurà" or "I know that if I let you go this time, the wind will take you away," conveys the sense of certainty that the singer is choosing to stay grounded and take control of their life. The metaphor of the waves in the chorus is similarly evocative of the cyclical nature of life and the ups and downs that come with it.

Overall, "Enlloc" is a powerful reflection on the importance of finding a sense of belonging and identity, and staying grounded in the face of life's uncertainties.
