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).

Tríada
Gossos Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

On van les il·lusions?
Com és que estàs tot sol?
Com estàs? quant de temps que no et veia la cara
Que lluent et veig, serà que has quedat amb algú aquesta nit
No fa tant fred, no cal que em vinguis a buscar
Tornaré tot caminant
No em tornare a perdre, no cal que m'esperis llevat
Ja m'he d'espavilar

Els carrers estrets, tots tenen secrets i fan patir
En tan poc temps, has perdut un tros de vida
Per això jo sempre et dic, al mal temps fes-li bona cara
Has de ser valent
Al mal temps fes-li bona cara
On van les il·lusions? Cóm és que estàs tot sol?
On van les il·lusions?
Perquè és tan simple que tu ja ets dintre
Has de correr més, has de fer saber
Perquè és tan simple, que tu ja ets dintre.
On van les il·lusions?
Perquè és tan simple que tu ja ets dintre
Has de correr més, has de fer saber
Perquè és tan simple, que tu ja ets dintre.
On van les il·lusions? com és que estàs tot sol?
És molt més simple
On van les les il·lusions?

Surt a buscar-les
Despert, fins el dia que et creguis tots els teus somnis.

The singer questions why the listener has lost their illusions and why they are alone.

The singer reassures the listener that they do not have to come and get them in the cold, as they will walk back. They promise not to get lost again and urge the listener to be brave and face the bad times with a smile.
