Heroes del Silencio started in 1984 as a band named Zumo de Vidrio. The original members were Enrique Bunbury, Juan Valdivia and his brother, and Pedro Andreu. Bunbury was originally a bass player but after Juan Valdivia heard him singing a David Bowie song and told him that he had a great voice, Bunbury became the vocalist. Later on, Joaquin Cardiel joins the line-up.
The band changed their name to Heroes del Silencio in 1986. At first they played in public places and made demos but their break came when they participated in a music contest in Salamanca and won second place - an EMI producer, Gustavo Montesano, saw the band in the contest and some time later, at a concert in Sala En Bruto, he signed the band.
Their first EP, Héroe de Leyenda, was released in in 1987 and sold 30,000 copies. The following year, the album El Mar No Cesa was released, featuring the songs "Mar Adentro", "Agosto" and "El Estanque", and sold 100,000 copies. The supporting tour followed in 1989, documented on the limited edition live album En Directo.
In 1990 they released Senderos de Traicion, their best-selling album with 2 million copies, including 400,000 copies in the first two weeks in Spain alone. The following year they started the tour "Senda 91" and released another live album, Senda 91. 1992 saw the most important CD in their career, El Espiritu del Vino. They sold 600,000 copies of this album which was played throughout America. They followed this with a tour for El Espiritu del Vino. In 1993, Alan Bogulavsky joined the band.
Due to tensions within the band, they took a hiatus and went to Benasque to take a vacation and heal the rifts within the group. After this break they gained a new producer, Bob Ezrin (Lou Reed, Pink Floyd, Peter Gabriel, Alice Cooper, Kiss, etc.) and in 1995 released Avalancha, widely considered their best album. Avalancha was more hard rock than previous albums, with songs like "Avalancha", "Deshacer El Mundo" and "Iberia Sumergida". The album was followed by the "Avalancha" tour in 1995 and 1996, which produced the live album Para Siempre.
The band split in 1996 though this did not prevent the release of the Rarezas album in 1998.
2007 Reunion tour
20 years after their first album, and 10 years after they split up, the band announced a ten concerts reunion tour, taking in Guatemala City, Buenos Aires, Monterrey, Ciudad de México, Los Ángeles, Sevilla, Zaragoza and Valencia. For this tour, guitarist Gonzalo Valdivia (Juan Valdivia's brother) replaced former band member Alan Bogulavsky. More than 10,000 people attended each concert. The tour was followed by another live album, Tour 2007.
After the tour, singer-songwriter Enrique Bunbury announced the definitive split of the band and that he would be focusing in his solo career.
Malas Intenciones
Héroes del Silencio Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sin duda no me entero ya,
Tus costumbres se me pierden
Entre arrumacos y amabilidad
Ahora sé que no comprendes,
No tenemos nada en común
Si supiera al menos lo que quieres
No me obligues a cambiar mi actitud
No quisiera utilizar
Tus intenciones,
Y, quisiera no pensar
Más de un segundo en ti
Me comentan lo que haces,
Uno a uno me hablan mal de ti
Nadie quiere hacer ya las paces,
No podría continuar así
Y ahora sé que no comprendes,
No tenemos nada en común
Si supiera al menos lo que quieres
No me obligues a cambiar mi actitud
No quisiera utilizar
Tus intenciones
Y, quisiera no pensar
Más de un segundo en ti
No quisiera utilizar
Tus intenciones
Y, quisiera no pensar
Más de un segundo en ti
Más de un segundo en ti
Más de un segundo en ti
The lyrics to "Malas Intenciones" by Héroes Del Silencio speak about a situation where the singer has become disinterested in the person they are addressing. They are no longer concerned with what this person thinks of them and have lost touch with their customs and habits. The singer has realized that they have nothing in common with this person, and it is causing them to distance themselves. The other person is perceived as having bad intentions, and the singer does not want to be involved in any way with what they are doing or planning. The singer tries to avoid thinking about this person and wishes that they did not have to worry about them.
The underlying message in this song may be about distrust and the importance of healthy relationships. The singer recognizes that this person's intentions may not be good, and it is better for them to distance themselves than to become involved in their plans. The lyrics show a sense of personal empowerment, and the singer is not willing to compromise their beliefs or values. They refuse to be coerced into changing their behavior for this person, and they prioritize their sense of self rather than pleasing somebody else.
