It was in Katowice's Spodek, somewhere around 1996 on some music bussiness party. At the time Banach was in Hey and Gutek was vocaly supporting Overmind.

But the real beginning was the song "Drogi" which appeared two years later on "Part One". It was Gutek's first album and Banach's tenth but in many ways his first as he recorded it in a way he had never before.

In 2002 a decision about making the second record was made. The first meeting after couple of years took place in much nicer surroundings - somewhere half way between Szczecin and Koszalin in the attic of the house, boarding with the forest, first song for the new album - "Mental Revolution" was born. Later "The Sign" and "The Sun" were polished although Banach got the idea for those two while in Greece.

It's a very cosmopolitan record - two Poles under Spanish-sounding name, recording Jamaican music, ideas of which were first born in France, Greece and Japan. Even if we try to place Indios Bravos' music somewhere in Poland it proofs to be very difficult. Gutek was born, grew-up and lives in Katowice. Banach on the other hand is from Szczecin and lives in Warsaw. Szczecin is also home of the musicians who make Indios Bravos - the live band because from October 2002 Indios Bravos is not just a studio project but a full band set.

The first gig was very humble. Gutek and Banach were supported on stage by Pawel Gawronski (keboard and backing vocals) and Krzysztof Sak (guitar). Later the band expanded and was joined by Ryszard Labul (bass), Przemek Filipkowski (keyboard) and Tomek Kubik (drums).

Indios Bravos Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

For many years all the mankind is diein' slowly
Instead of unity-hatein' and killin' only
Run, run, run,run, run, run,run
Yes we've got to run
To leave behind the things we have done,yes we've got to run
Funny we're all one but one also means that we are lonley

How many years will we try to find the solution

For our problems we need global constitution
Run, run, run,run, run, run,run
Yes we've got to run

To leave behind the things we have done,yes we've got to run
Funny we're all one but one also means that we are lonley

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Indios Bravos's song Run Run Run express the need for humanity to come together and overcome the issues that currently plague society. The opening lines address the fact that humanity is slowly dying because of its lack of unity. Instead of working together towards a better future, people are filled with hate and resort to killing each other. The repeated phrase "run, run, run" emphasizes the need for a quick and urgent solution. The line "Yes we've got to run, to leave behind the things we have done" suggests that the past mistakes and actions of humans have led to this current state of despair, and it is necessary to run away from these past actions and attitudes.

The next set of lyrics portrays the need for a global constitution. The songwriter asks how long humanity will take to realize that a unifying document that governs the entire planet is necessary to address its problems. The repeated phrase "yes we've got to run" shows that the songwriter believes the solution to the world's problems is urgent, and that it is necessary to escape the current state of the world. The final line of the song, "funny we're all one, but one also means that we are lonely," encapsulates the idea that even though we are all human, and we are all connected to each other, we still feel isolated and disconnected from the world around us.
