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.

Lucero Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hoy solo frio y desdén
Y es que tu amor como azúcar
Se disuelve en el café
Déjame ver si lo acierto
Ella se ha puesto a tus pies
Te ha suplicado que vuelvas
Veleta
No sabes a donde vas
Ni entiendes lo que es amor
Tu única ley
El palo que te sujeta
Eres una veleta
Me robas el corazón
Mendigas mi soledad
Y el mar de tu amor
No tiene final ni meta
Tu no sabes amar
Tu eres una veleta
No esperes mas adelante
Yo no te reclamare
Haz lo que sientas y vuelve
Cuando tengas que volver
Fuego y amor ayer noche
Hoy solo frio y desdén
Y es que tu amor es seguro
Como cárcel de papel
Veleta
Ni sabes a donde vas
Ni entiendes lo que es amor
Tu única ley
El palo que te sujeta
Eres una veleta
Me robas el corazón
Mendigas mi soledad
Y el amor de tu amor
No tiene final ni meta
Tu no sabes amar tu eres una
Veleta
The song "Veleta" by Lucero seems to be about a person who is indecisive in love and keeps changing their mind about their feelings. The lyrics describe a situation where the singer is seeing this person who was once full of passion and love, but now seems cold and distant, as if their love "dissolves in coffee." The person in question is torn between another lover who is begging for their return and the singer, who has been hurt by their indecisiveness many times before. The person is described as a "veleta," which means a weather vane or a fickle person who changes their mind easily.
The chorus repeats the phrase "Veleta" to emphasize the person's indecisiveness and lack of understanding of what love truly means. The singer is frustrated and hurt by the fact that they keep being drawn back in by this person, even though they know that their love is not genuine and is only using them to fill their own void. The final lines of the song suggest that the singer is ready to let go of this toxic relationship and move on with their life, leaving the decision up to the "veleta" person to come back if and when they are ready to truly love.

Hombres indecisos no saben amar
No aman con intencidad
No valoran el verdadero amor
Al final se quedan solos y vacíos porque vuelven la espalda al verdadero amor

La canción veleta fue #1 en toda Latino-américa y España por más de 2 meses en 1993, es considerada y registrada como una de las mejores canciones de 1993 y el disco donde se publica, "Lucero" es uno de los mejores discos de 1993 y de toda la carrera de Lucero....pese a quien le pese.....

@Riddler 88 pero aún dándole pelota a tu comentario, usted no ha sido nadie nunca y nadie tiene derecho de restregártelo en la cara… entonces no lo hagas a quienes trascendieron en algún momento…

@Jack Mozap Lucero de México lo tuve que mandar a buscar a Chile. Años después lo encontré en una disqueria en Argentina. Lo mismo me pasó con un par más. Cómo dije antes, la que encontré muy rápido fue la producción Lucero dónde venía Veleta pero las anteriores me costaron. Yo creo que dependía mucho de la región de Argentina que consideremos, por eso el amigo quizás no encontró las otras. Por ejemplo, en Córdoba estás artistas entraban muy fuerte no así en Buenos Aires. Por otro lado, con el disco Veleta el sello discográfico tenía la intención de promocionarla fuertemente en Argentina y lo hizo.

@Jack Mozap Por lo menos en la zona donde yo vivo las producciones de Lucero eran difíciles de encontrar a principios de los 90-fines de los 80. Fue con la producción Lucero, dónde viene Veleta, que comenzaron a aparecer más fácilmente. De todas maneras pasaba con todas las artistas femeninas no argentinas, el problema es que en aquella época tardaban como dos años en llegar las nuevas producciones que en México y Chile ya habían sido éxitos. Pasó con Myriam Hernández, con Marisela, hasta con Xuxa(tardó en entrar al sur de Argentina su primera producción, las siguientes por obvias razones no tardaron).
