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).

Mira'm bé
Gossos Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Avui el dia, rere el sol ja s'ha aixecat:
Els núvols van depressa i la tempesta ja ha passat.
Rera la porta un mirall m'està mirant,
És la dolça rialla que de mi s'està mofant.
Ella m'odia, el camí serà molt llarg.
Marxo depressa i no para de cridar:

Mira'm bé!! La meva vida no val res

Mira'm bé! UUohh

Va arribar la matinada i altre cop al seu costat,
Sense aquella rialla, les ferides fan molt mal.
Ella m'odia, el matí se l'endurà,
I no vol tornar-hi, jo ja sé que és massa tard.

Mira'm bé!! La meva vida no val res
Mira'm bé! UUohh

Ara toca creure que podem tirar endavant
Però és un joc estúpid que ens està fent mal.
Ja no somio en un amor que s'ha acabat,
Però no sóc res sense tu al meu costat!

Mira'm bé!! La meva vida no val res
Mira'm bé! UUohh

Mira'm bé!! La meva vida no val res
Mira'm bé! UUohh

Mira'm bé!! La meva vida no val res
No val res...

The song "Mira'm bé" by Gossos talks about a broken relationship and the pain it has caused the singer. The first verse describes the morning after a storm has passed, but the singer is still facing inner turmoil as they look at themselves in the mirror. The mirror represents their own self-criticism and the pain caused by their former partner's mocking laughter. The singer acknowledges that the journey to healing will be long and difficult, but they must push forward despite feeling worthless.

In the second verse, the singer wakes up next to their partner who no longer mocks them but the wounds from before still hurt. They acknowledge that their partner hates them and the morning will take them away. The pain is still very present for the singer even though their partner is no longer mocking them.

The chorus repeats "Mira'm bé", which means "look at me" in Catalan. The singer wants their partner to acknowledge their pain and the worthlessness they feel. The repetition highlights the singer's desperation and the need for their partner to look at them and see their pain.

Overall, "Mira'm bé" is a song about heartbreak and the complicated emotions that come with it. The lyrics highlight the singer's pain and the struggle to move on from a relationship that has ended.
