The first band he played in was Back Against the Wall, a Gothenburg hardcore punk band influenced by Black Flag, The Misfits and the Dead Kennedys.[4] He later played bass guitar in another hardcore band, Renascence, between 1993–1998.[5]. Between 1997-1998 Jose played guitar with rock band Only if You Call Me Jonathan.
In 2003, he released his debut album, Veneer, in Europe. The album was subsequently released in the UK on 25 April 2005, and in the United States on 6 September 2005. The album was made while González was studying for a PhD in Biochemistry at the University of Gothenburg, which he has not completed due to a lack of time since his musical career has taken off.[6]
His trademark sound is solo classical guitar with soft vocal melody. His work, although mostly original, also includes acoustic covers of such hits as "Heartbeats" by his fellow Swedes The Knife, "Love Will Tear Us Apart" by Joy Division, "Born in the U.S.A." and "The Ghost of Tom Joad" by Bruce Springsteen, "Hand on Your Heart" by Kylie Minogue, "Smalltown Boy" by Bronski Beat, "Teardrop" by Massive Attack and "Last Snowstorm of the Year" by Low.
His second album, In Our Nature, was released internationally on 22 September 2007. The album's lyrical content was in part influenced by his reading of books like The God Delusion by evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins and Practical Ethics by ethicist Peter Singer.
Storm
Jose Gonzales Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's getting lonely down here
Things I've been up to lately
Have kept me from seeing clear
Why do you keep on running
This love is fading way too fast
All the stars are burning (for you)
So stop chasing the past
As soon as the storm is over
And all the fog is clear
As soon as the storm is over
I've promised to send out for you
As soon as the storm is over
As soon as the storm is over
As soon as the storm is over
As soon as the storm is over
In Jose Gonzalez's song "Storm," the singer is asking their loved one to stay with them during a difficult time. The opening lines are a plea for communication, as they ask for their partner's position. The singer has been feeling lonely and it seems as though they have been struggling to see things clearly due to recent events. They then question their partner, asking why they keep running away. It appears that this relationship is fading and the singer warns that all of the stars - all of the good things - are burning but they won't last forever. They urge their partner to stop chasing the past and to stay in the present.
The chorus of the song is a promise that as soon as the storm is over, they will send out for their loved one. It seems as though the storm is a metaphor for a difficult time in the relationship. Once the storm has passed, the singer is ready to work on the relationship and reconnect with their partner. The repetition of the phrase "as soon as the storm is over" emphasizes the singer's commitment to their loved one and the hope that the relationship will survive.
Line by Line Meaning
Send me your position
Tell me where you are, I miss you and feel lonely
It's getting lonely down here
I am feeling increasingly isolated without you
Things I’ve been up to lately
My recent activities have been keeping me preoccupied
Have kept me from seeing clear
These activities have caused me to lose sight of what really matters
Why do you keep on running
I feel like you are avoiding me and our relationship
This love is fading way too fast
Our love is deteriorating rapidly and I don't know how to stop it
All the stars are burning (for you)
I see so much potential in you, but it feels like you are wasting it
But none of them is going to last
Your potential will be lost if you continue to run away from our relationship
So stop chasing the past
We need to move forward and stop dwelling on what has already happened
As soon as the storm is over
Once the problems in our relationship are resolved
And all the fog is clear
Once we can see our way forward clearly
I've promised to send out for you
I will come for you and work to rebuild our relationship
As soon as the storm is over
Once we have weathered this difficult time
As soon as the storm is over
When we have moved past our current struggles
As soon as the storm is over
At this moment, I am unable to make things right, but I hope to in the future
As soon as the storm is over
I will do everything possible to bring us back together
