The band was fronted by bilingual lead singer María del Pilar aka Pilar Díaz (or Lady P), who is of Chilean heritage. During one point in their career they were signed by Maverick Records, but were eventually dropped from the label and picked up by Vapor. Their biggest hits include Panic-oh, Van Nuys Es Very Nice, and Stalk U. Before splitting, the band successfully released two EPs and one LP.
During their relatively short career, Los Abandoned performed with legendary musicians such as Café Tacuba, The Breeders, Caléxico, Julieta Venegas, Molotov and Aterciopelados. The band participated in both the 2004 and 2006 South By Southwest festivals in Austin, Texas. Another highlight was playing the Latin Alternative Music Conferance on the Santa Monica Pier in 2005, alongside Mexican singer-songwriter Ely Guerra and Columbian pop singer Andrea Echeverri. The band's philanthropic contributions include opening the Bridge School Benefit for Paul McCartney, Neil Young, and the legendary Red Hot Chili Peppers.
They announced their split during summer 2007. Pilar Diaz continues to record as a solo artist.
Heavy
Los Abandoned Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh, its so heavy we're going real steady
It's you and me babe driving in a Chevy
Oh its so heavy we're going real steady
And when the fire begins to dim
Not knowing how it all will end
Theres something else to take its place
And when I feel it starts to fall
I think of how we get along
And all the things that we can be because you bring me levity
I've gotta say that you and me are heavy
Oh it's so heavy do you think we're really ready?
And when when the fire begins to dim
Not knowing how it all will end
Theres something else to take its place
The heaviness is all erased
And when I feel it start to fall
I think of how we get along
And all the things that we can be
Because you bring me levity
Like a mountain, skyscraper
Its heavy, it's heavy
Like words drawn on a paper
Its heavy, it's heavy
The lyrics of Los Abandoned's song "Heavy" seem to convey a sense of commitment and unity between two people. The repeated reference to "heavy" suggests that the relationship is significant and substantial, akin to the weight of a mountain or skyscraper. The mention of driving together in a Chevy confirms the connection that the two have with one another. There is a sense of reassurance in the lyrics - even when things become difficult or uncertain, there is something that can replace the heaviness, and the foundation of the relationship remains stable.
The second verse continues to emphasize the importance of the relationship, questioning whether the two individuals are ready for this level of commitment. But again, the lyrics offer comfort in knowing that even when the "fire begins to dim," there is something that can take its place and keep the relationship strong. The repeated use of "levity" in the lyrics suggests that the relationship brings a sense of lightness and joy to the participants' lives - a balance to the weight of it all.
Overall, the lyrics of "Heavy" by Los Abandoned offer a nuanced and thoughtful exploration of the significance of a committed relationship. The repetition of "heavy" suggests that it is a weighty thing, but the lyrics also emphasize the connection and reassurance that can come amidst that weight. The interplay of heaviness and levity in the song suggests that relationships can be multifaceted and that the balance between the two is key.
