1) Lucero is an American country-punk rock band that is based in Memphis, Tennessee.

Since 2001, they have played between 150 and 200 shows a year across the United States and Canada. They have released eight full-length albums, the latest entitled Women & Work.
The members of Lucero are Roy Berry (drums), John C. Stubblefield (bass), Brian Venable (guitar), and Ben Nichols (guitar and vocals), and occasionally Rick Steff (piano, organ, accordion). Todd Gill substituted for Brian Venable from 2003 to 2004. The band also experimented with guitarist Steve Selvidge in the early months of 2003.

In late 2008 the band announced they had signed a four album deal with Universal Music Group. Their album, 1372 Overton Park, was released October 6, 2009.
The Last Pale Light in the West, the first solo release from frontman Ben Nichols, was released in January 2009 on the band's own label Liberty & Lament. The 7 song record was inspired by Cormac McCarthy's book Blood Meridian.

Por Ti
Lucero Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Por ti, yo dejé de fijarme en el cielo
Por ti, me ha dado por llorar como el mar
Me he puesto a sollozar como el cielo
Me ha dado por llorar
Por ti, la ternura se niega conmigo
Por ti, la amargura me sigue y la sigo
Se vuelven contra mí mis anhelos
Se vuelven contra mí
Por ti, la vida se ha vuelto un infierno
Por ti, estoy muerta de amor, tan enferma
Por ti, se han vuelto llaga el sol y dolor
Se han vuelto mal la flor y el amor
Se ha vuelto mal la flor
Por ti, el mar es la locura del cielo
Por ti, el llanto es una llaga de celos
Por ti, el dolor es el sol sin la flor
El infierno es un amor tan eterno
El infierno es amor
Por ti
, yo dejé de encontrar belleza en la naturaleza y comencé a sufrir profundamente. La letra de la canción habla sobre una persona que ha perdido la capacidad de disfrutar las cosas simples de la vida, como la vista del mar o el cielo, debido a un amor que la ha llevado a llorar constantemente. La persona se siente atormentada por los celos y la amargura, y estos sentimientos han cambiado su perspectiva de la vida.
La vida se ha convertido en un infierno y el personaje se siente enfermo de amor. El amor se ha convertido en un dolor constante, y la persona ya no puede encontrar la belleza en las cosas que antes disfrutaba. El infierno se ha convertido en un amor eterno, un amor que no puede ser librado, como una llaga que no puede sanar.
La canción muestra lo poderoso que puede ser el amor, para bien o para mal, y cómo puede cambiar a las personas de maneras inesperadas. La letra es emotiva y poética, y la música de Lucero la complementa a la perfección.
