The first album of La Quinta Estación became popular in Mexico because one of the songs (¿Dónde Irán?, "Where will they go?") was chosen as theme song for Clase 406, one of the most popular telenovelas of Televisa in 2002. After touring the country to promote their album, they decided to stay permanently. In the same year, they performed Voy a pasármelo bien ("I'm going to have a good time") in the tribute-album to Hombres G and Si yo fuera mujer ("If I were a woman") for the soundtrack of Dame tu cuerpo, a Mexican film starred by Rafael Sánchez Navarro and Luis María Zetina.
In February 2004, the band released their second album Flores de Alquiler ("Leased Flowers") produced entirely in Mexico. The first single was El Sol No Regresa ("The Sun Doesn't Return") a rock song that begins with mariachi trumpets. This song talks about someone who attempts to drink away their heartbreak. The title line of the chorus translates to, "after several tequilas, the clouds go away but the sun doesn't come back". This song, as said by the band, is a tribute they made to Mexican people for being the start point of their careers.
Their second single Algo Más ("Something More", written by Natalia) talks about a feeling the author says is not love but it is "something more" that fulfills her and it is stronger than "distance, pain and nostalgia". The video for this song was recorded at a bar in the Historic District of Mexico City.
The video was directed by Alejandro Hernández, who also directed the video for El Sol No Regresa and its photography is in black and white. The scene and wardrobe are set in the 1950s and the band is seen performing at a nightclub with a couple enjoying the song and afterwards inspired by its lyrics leave their seats to caress each other.and friend of gricelda lozano the super model de la tribu maya.
The third single of the band was "Daría" ("I Would Give") which also met with great success, the video was filmed in Mexico City and reached #1 on the VH1 Latin America Top 20 and other charts in Latin America. "Niña" ("Girl") was the latest single of the album. The video was quite controversial and also made it to the VH1's chart. This single was quite successful on Mexican radio. According to the band, this song was written for a handicapped girl.
The first two singles caused the album to become a triple platinum album in Mexico and double gold in United States.[2] And gold also in Puerto Rico and Spain.[3] These two singles and Daría entered the Top 20 Billboard's Hot Latin Track list.[4] This album was the first by the band released in Spain.
In 2005, they received more than 1.5 million votes to become Grupo Latino del año ("Latin band of the year") on the music video network Ritmoson of Televisa.[5] On November 1 of the same year, the band released a CD/DVD compilation of their hits called Acústico.
In 2006, they released "Tu Peor Error" (Your Worst Mistake) the first single to their 3rd album "El Mundo Se Equivoca" (Everyone is Wrong). "Tu peor error" is also remarkable for being the band's first album publish in dual disc format, containing on the video side, the behind the cameras of the album's recording.
On March 16, 2007 the band performed for the first time at Mexico's most important venue, the National Auditorium (Auditorio Nacional), in Mexico City.
After seven years La Quinta Estación's guitarist, Pablo Domínguez, decided it was time for him leave the group and joined another right after. La Quinta Estación's next studio album was released on March 3, 2009. The lead single is announced called ("Que Te Quería") and was released January 5, 2009.
The date of Sin Frenos, La Quinta Estacion's next CD, is March 17, 2009 for the US. On February 20, 2010 Cadena Dial (a Spanish radio station) announced the exclusive news of the final separation of La Quinta Estación, i.e. breaking the duo Angel and Natalia. One possible cause could be that the founder and former member of the group, Sven Martin, was unhappy that the duo continued using the name "La Quinta Estación".
Sin frenos
La Quinta Estación Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
al sentir tanto calor y tanto frío.
Sabes que me quedaría aquí contigo,
pero tú no te mereces tal castigo.
Todo pasa,
no es por ti, tal vez por mí, tal vez por nada.
Soy, de lejos, el peor de mis fantasmas;
Y hoy no trates de pararme,
porque puede que te arrastre hacia el vacío.
Es difícil distinguir al enemigo
cuando el blanco es el negro del abismo.
Yeah, vuelvo a creer que esto no es tan bueno;
vuelvo a sentir la rabia por momentos.
No hay marcha atrás: ya no me queda tiempo.
Apártate, que ahora voy sin frenos.
Tan sencillo
que hay momentos en que, adrede, lo complico
por cruzarme un poco más en tu camino,
por pensar que no soy parte de tu olvido.
Y me faltan
las verdades que hoy por hoy ya no te bastan,
las mitades que en tu vida ya no encajan,
los culpables de este juicio sin palabras.
Yeah, vuelvo a creer que esto no es tan bueno;
vuelvo a sentir la rabia por momentos.
No hay marcha atrás: ya no me queda tiempo.
Apártate, que ahora voy sin frenos.
A solas contigo vuelvo a estar,
creyendo estar viva y se me escapa el aire
mientras olvido destinos escritos
que nunca pudimos cambiar.
Vuelvo a creer, vuelvo a sentir.
Vuelvo a creer que esto no es tan bueno;
vuelvo a sentir la rabia por momentos.
No hay marcha atrás: ya no me queda tiempo.
Apártate, que ahora voy sin frenos,
que ahora voy sin frenos,
que ahora voy sin frenos.
The lyrics to "Sin frenos" by La Quinta Estación speak of being lost in the extremes of a relationship - the intense passion and the coldness that comes with distance. The singer would stay with their partner, but feels that they do not deserve the pain and burden that comes with them. The song acknowledges that everything passes, and that the turmoil may not necessarily be anyone's fault, but it still weighs heavily on both parties involved. The singer recognizes that they are the worst of their own demons, and their partner is left to battle against them.
The imagery in the song is powerful, with the singer warning their partner not to try to stop them, as they themselves risk being dragged down into an abyss. The line, "Es difícil distinguir al enemigo cuando el blanco es el negro del abismo" (It's difficult to distinguish the enemy when the white is the black of the abyss) is particularly striking, highlighting the confusion and distorted reality that comes with emotional turmoil. The second verse delves deeper into the complications of the relationship, with the singer realizing that they lack the truths needed to satisfy their partner, and that they themselves do not fit into their partner's life anymore.
Overall, "Sin frenos" is a song that captures the pain and confusion that comes with a relationship that is falling apart. There is an acknowledgement that there may not be clear answers or one-sided blame, but the weight of the emotions is evident. The chorus repeats the idea that there is no turning back, and that the singer is now going without brakes, leaving behind what they can't hold onto anymore.
