Con el paso de los años, la banda ha logrado definir un sonido que la caracteriza y diferencia de las demás bandas de rock uruguayo. Paralelamente a esto, no es solo el sonido característico el que diferencia a esta banda de las demás, sino también su público. Hereford no se ha caracterizdo por ser una banda que mueva masas. Ha logrado, en cambio, un público bastante familiar que se reencuentra en cada show.
Gritar
Hereford Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Y ahora que te tengo y que te puedo convencer.
Llevo nueve vidas esperando que algo pase
Y ahora que estas cercan y que te puedo controlar
Se me olvidaron las palabras
Se me olvidó lo que te iba a decir
Se me hace un nudo el cuello
Llevo nueve vidas esperando este momento
Y ahora que te tengo y que te puedo convencer.
Se me olvidaron las palabras
Se me olvidó lo que te iba a decir
Se me hace un nudo el cuello
Y mi garganta quiere gritar, lo mismo que vos
Y un peso sale de mi espalda
No me olvidé por lo que hay que vivir
El alma se desarma.
Y mi garganta quiere gritar, lo mismo que vos.
The lyrics to Hereford's song Gritar depict a sense of urgency and anticipation for a particular moment that the singer has been waiting for his entire life. He has been waiting for something to happen in his life, and finally, he has found someone who can convince him to break out of his shell and let his true self out. However, the excitement of the moment has overwhelmed him, and he is struggling to find the right words to express himself. He has a choked up feeling in his throat, and he wants to scream out loud but is unable to. He feels the same overwhelming emotions as his beloved, who also wants to shout out loud.
The singer's struggle to express himself and his internal turmoil are evident through the repetition of the lines, "Se me olvidaron las palabras" and "Y mi garganta quiere gritar, lo mismo que vos." The former line implies that the singer feels like he is losing his words, and the latter suggests that the singer and the beloved share the same emotional state. The overall message of the song is that sometimes we hold ourselves back and wait for the right moment to take action. And when that moment finally arrives, the overwhelming rush of emotions can be too intense to bear, making it difficult to express oneself.
