1) Lucero is an American country-punk rock band that is based in Memphis, Tennessee. Their punk rock roots flavour their now "country-ish" music, while their Southern roots give them the twang that they have come to be known by. The band played for the first time in early 1998. 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. Ben Nichols' previous band was Red 40 in which he played alongside Colin Brooks and Steve Kooms.
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.

Tu Desdén
Lucero Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Amor ya ves por donde
Tendrás un trofeo más
Para que te adornes
Te amo
Tu triunfo y mi condena
Al fin tu juego acabó
Y ahora qué?
Tu desdén
El frio de tu mirar
A quien juraste morir
Amando amando amando
Tu desdén
Veneno puro mortal
Es necio cruel y total
Y eso duele amor eso me hace mal
Na, Na
Te amo
Presume cuanto quieras
Valiente juego cazar
Palomas mensajeras
Te amo
Y cargo tu cadena
Si eso te hace feliz, sea en hora buena
Y ahora qué?
In the song "Tu Desdén" by Lucero, the singer is expressing her feelings towards someone she loves deeply but who treats her with disdain. She begins by saying "Te amo" (I love you), however, she points out that her love only leads to trophies for the person she loves, as they continue to treat her with contempt.
Despite the singer's love, she feels defeated, as though she is "against the ropes". This person's cold, deadly gaze has become toxic, cruel, and all-encompassing. The singer acknowledges that this person promised to love her until death, but now they treat her with total disregard. The disregard, she admits, is painful and makes her feel unwell.
As the song continues, the singer addresses the person she loves, saying that they can go ahead and brag about their conquests if they want to. They are playing a brave game, hunting like a falcon hunted messenger pigeons. The singer, while still in love, admits that she carries the burden of the person's disdain for her, if it makes them happy. The song ends with the question "and now what?", implying that the singer is unsure where to go from here.
Overall, "Tu Desdén" portrays the internal conflict of someone who still loves someone despite being treated with contempt. Lucero's emotional delivery of the lyrics and the slow, melancholic melody further emphasize the pain of the situation.

Lucero es intemporal, sencillamente no puede repetirse alguien como ella, lo tuvo todo desde niña: talento, simpatía, carisma y belleza!
@DSB29
Cuando salió esta canción era un niño que no le hallaba sentido a las canciones. Ahora en mi adultez y en ausencia de artistas y composiciones talentosas, disfruto de estas joyas.
@hannagonzalez9331
Así me pasaba a mi, me siento identificada contigo no sabía y no entendía ya que usa mucha metáfora y poesía y así hasta que crecí y empecé a entender me gustaron aún mas
