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).

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).

Gossos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Però no pot més vol estar sola
Passa les nits desperta dins del llit
Veu mil colors quan no hi ha boira.
S'ha anat desfent el seu pensament
I ara la nit vol parlar amb volta
Ja fa quatre anys que vius tancada dins
Ningú no sap com tornar a construïr
Un poble nou perdut a fora.
S'ha anat desfent a contracorrent
I ara no pot volar més alt
Tan sols tingués una sortida
Algú amb qui poguer parlar
Va trencar el seu pudor de plata
Quan era al més enllà, i ara no pot volar més alt.
La gent recorda encara com erets abans
No et miren mai directament als ulls
Potser tenen por del que veuen al seu davant
Algú perdut que poc a poc s'enssorra.
S'ha anat desfent, s'ha anat desfent el vent
S'ha anat desfent, desfent entre la gent a contracorrent
S'ha anat desfent, desfent des del peresent és diferent
S'ha anat desfent, el seu pensament.
Tan sols tingués una sortida, s'ha anat desfent
Tan sols algú amb qui parlar, s'ha anat desfent
(x4)
I ara no pot volar més alt
The lyrics of Gossos' song "Sola" tell the story of a woman who cannot sleep at night and desires to be alone. She spends her nights awake in bed, seeing a thousand colors when there is no fog. The woman's thoughts have been unraveling for the past four years, and now she wants to talk about it. However, she feels locked inside her head, unable to cry for the lost new town that no one knows how to rebuild.
The woman feels like she is going against the current, and she cannot fly higher anymore. If only she had someone to talk to, someone who could help her break through her emotional barriers, then she could start to heal. People still remember who she was before, but they do not look directly into her eyes. They are perhaps afraid of what they might see, someone who is slowly falling apart. Between people, she is coming undone, and her thoughts are slowly unraveling.
