Gustavo Adrián Cerati Clarke, (Buenos Aires - Argentina: August 11th, 1959 … Read Full Bio ↴Gustavo Adrián Cerati Clarke, (Buenos Aires - Argentina: August 11th, 1959 --- September 4th, 2014: Buenos Aires - Argentina) better known as Gustavo Cerati was an Argentinean guitarist, producer, occasional bass player, dj, lyricist, and vocalist. During the 1980's and until the mid-1990's he was the visible leader of Soda Stereo, -arguably one of Latin America's most important rock bands.
Cerati was in a coma for over four years, after suffering a stroke on May 15, 2010, right at the end of a show in Caracas - Venezuela, on the final leg of his Fuerza Natural tour. The situation -which ocurred backstage at the dressing room- was quickly reported by news agencies and via tweets. After a period of intensive care hospitalization in Caracas, he was flown on a private ambulance-jet to Buenos Aires where he spent the next 4 years in an induced coma. He passed away in a local hospital due to respiratory failure. The news on September 4th, 2014 shook the rock community worldwide.
Cerati was widely acknowledged for his lead and rhythm guitar talents -and for his ability to play solos while singing at the same time in perfect key, as well as for the lyrical content of his songwriting, all of which helped to consolidate him as one of the most prolific and important rock musicians in the continent.
Cerati founded Soda Stereo in 1982 with bassist Zeta Bosio. Drummer Charly Alberti joined them shortly after. The band released its first album in August 1984 and dissolved in late 1997.
Cerati's first main venture away from Soda Stereo (apart from creating the band Fricción in 1985) with Richard Coleman and drummer Fernando Samalea, was the album Colores Santos in 1992: an experimental project in collaboration with musician Daniel Melero, that anticipated the sonic experimentation of Soda Stereo's late 1992 album, Dynamo.
He released his first full solo effort Amor Amarillo in 1993, while still a member of Soda. Zeta Bosio and then-wife Cecilia Amenábar collaborated on the project. The album featured more introspective lyrics, a fair amount of electronic experimentation and was well received by both the critics and the public. He then returned to Soda Stereo releasing Zona de Promesas, (a compilation album of remixes which contained the eponymous track as an opener). Zona de Promesas is an intimate and delicate song that focuses on the relationship he had with his mother (Lilian Clark). The albums Sueño Stereo and Comfort y Música Para Volar (MTV Unplugged) followed. Shortly after the band decided to split and launched a farewell tour in late 1997. After the farewell tour, Cerati embarked in a couple of projects that dealt exclusively with electronic music. He formed the group Plan V together with Chilean musicians Andrés Bucci, Guillermo Ugarte and Christian Powditch, and shortly after the duo Ocio with Flavio Etcheto also known as Flavius.
His second solo album Bocanada was released in 1999. The record embraced both the style that made Soda Stereo famous, and a newer style reminiscent of his electronic projects.
In 2001, Cerati wrote the soundtrack for the movie + Bien directed by Eduardo Capilla, in which he also stars and marked his acting debut. Another soundtrack he produced was for the movie "Solo Por Hoy". That same year he recorded 11 Episodios Sinfónicos, -a live recording of him singing accompanied by The Buenos Aires Symphonic Orchestra, directed by Alejandro Terán, a veteran from La Portuaria, who also is proficient in Classical music direction and conduction.
Siempre Es Hoy was released in 2002, and showcased a new perspective on his music and sound. A mixture of electronica, and electric rock sounds, Siempre Es Hoy is the longest running LP (timewise) in his solo career. Containing seventeen tracks and over one hour and ten minutes of running play time, the album was widely acclaimed. Reversiones was released a year later in 2003, and complied remixes from the Siempre Es Hoy album by various artists from Mexico, Argentina, Germany, etc.
Ahí Vamos (2006) was considered a return to his more classic rock style as it contains heavier sounds and a much wider guitar/drums presence. Many consider this album -along with Amor Amarillo, his finest solo efforts.
Despite stating previously that the Grammy Awards were of little importance to him, he attended the Latin Grammy Awards ceremony on November 2, 2006 where he was awarded in the Best Rock Album and Best Rock Song, categories.
In 2007, Cerati toured for one last time with Soda Stereo for a massive reunion tour, that took them all across Latin America and the United States.
Cerati produced albums for several artists, most notably "Sueños en Transito" for Nicole and "Mar" for Leo Garcia. He was major sponsor and collaborator in the development and acknowledgement of Babasónicos. He also contributed on several albums for other relevant Argentinean and Latin American artists such as Fricción -which he co-founded, Caifanes from Mexico, and Shakira from Colombia. On July 7, 2007 he performed with her at Live Earth, in Germany. He also joined forces with other prominent musicians as The Police's guitarist Andy Summers for a Spanish version of "Bring On The Night" / "Tráeme La Noche", and with Roger Waters from Pink Floyd on a yet unreleased song they recorded in 2008. He performed live alongside other prominent Argentinean musicians including Luis Alberto Spinetta, Charly García, Andrés Calamaro, Mercedes Sosa and many others.
Gustavo Cerati's last studio album Fuerza Natural won the Best Rock Album award and Best Rock Song award for Déjà Vu during the 2010 Latin Grammy Awards. It also received the award for best packaging and design at the same event. The album's lyrics and rock sound which at times is reminiscent of the Beatles' psychedelic period, showcased a very hopeful Cerati, with mystical and illuminated lyrics that spoke of his hopes for both the present and the future. Paradoxically, it was during the last leg of the tour that supported the album that Cerati suffered the stroke that put him in a coma.
Cerati leaves behind his mother Lilian Clarke, his daughter Lisa Cerati and younger son Benito Cerati who is also a musician and has a project called Zero Kill. Cecilia Amenábar, Cerati's ex-wife is their mother.

Gustavo Cerati Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
La espera me agotó
No se nada de vos
Dejaste tanto en mí
En llamas me acosté
Y en un lento degradé
Supe que te perdí
¿Qué otra cosa puedo hacer?
Si no olvido, moriré
Y otro crimen quedará
Otro crimen quedará
Sin resolver
Una rápida traición
Y salimos del amor
Tal vez me lo busqué
Mi ego va a estallar
Ahí donde no estás
Oh, los celos otra vez
¿Qué otra cosa puedo hacer?
Si no olvido moriré
Y otro crimen quedará
Otro crimen quedará
Sin resolver
No lo sé
Cuanto falta no lo sé
Si es muy tarde no lo sé
Si no olvido, moriré
¿Qué otra cosa puedo hacer?
¿Qué otra cosa puedo hacer?
Ahora sé lo que es perder
Otro crimen quedará
Otro crimen quedará
Sin resolver
No se nada de vos
Dejaste tanto en mí
En llamas me acosté
Y en un lento degradé
Supe que te perdí
¿Qué otra cosa puedo hacer?
Si no olvido, moriré
Y otro crimen quedará
Otro crimen quedará
Sin resolver
Una rápida traición
Y salimos del amor
Tal vez me lo busqué
Mi ego va a estallar
Ahí donde no estás
Oh, los celos otra vez
¿Qué otra cosa puedo hacer?
Si no olvido moriré
Y otro crimen quedará
Otro crimen quedará
Sin resolver
No lo sé
Cuanto falta no lo sé
Si es muy tarde no lo sé
Si no olvido, moriré
¿Qué otra cosa puedo hacer?
¿Qué otra cosa puedo hacer?
Ahora sé lo que es perder
Otro crimen quedará
Otro crimen quedará
Sin resolver
The lyrics of Gustavo Cerati's song Crimen convey the emotions of a person who is tired of waiting for their loved one to return. The singer does not know anything about his lover's whereabouts and feels as if he has been abandoned. The person with whom he was in love has left an indelible mark on him and has scarred him emotionally. The song depicts the pain of unrequited love and the frustration and despair it invokes in the singer.
As the song progresses, the singer acknowledges that he will have to forget his lover to survive. He realizes that if he does not forget, he will suffer irreparable consequences, and another crime will remain unresolved. Despite feeling betrayed by his lover, the singer is unable to let go of his jealousy and ego, which are inevitably ruining him.
The lyrics highlight the universal human experience of loss and heartbreak that anyone can relate to. Ultimately, the song represents the necessity of letting go of the past and moving forward.

La espera me agotó
Waiting for you has drained me
No se nada de vos
I don't know anything about you
Dejaste tanto en mí
You left so much within me
En llamas me acosté
I lied down in flames
Y en un lento degradé
And in a slow degradation
Supe que te perdí
I knew that I lost you
¿Qué otra cosa puedo hacer?
What else can I do?
Si no olvido, moriré
If I don't forget, I'll die
Y otro crimen quedará
And another crime will remain
Sin resolver
Unresolved
Una rápida traición
A sudden betrayal
Y salimos del amor
And we left love
Tal vez me lo busqué
Maybe I asked for it
Mi ego va a estallar
My ego is going to explode
Ahí donde no estás
Right where you're not
Oh, los celos otra vez
Oh, the jealousy again
No lo sé
I don't know
Cuanto falta no lo sé
I don't know how much is left
Si es muy tarde no lo sé
I don't know if it's too late
Ahora sé lo que es perder
Now I know what it is to lose
