With a sound that is a balanced blend of electronic, acoustic and rock guitar music, Lucybell has been compared to Blur, Catherine Wheel and Radiohead. Their critically acclaimed debut, Peces, won them the Best New Group award from the Chilean Association of Entertainment Journalists (APES). 1996s Viajar launched the band to international fame, with the several singles in rotation on MTV and tours that took them to Mexico, the U.S. and Colombia. Lucybell put together their own studio to record their eponymous third album, which they then took to Buenos Aires to mix and to Londons Abbey Road Studios to master with engineer Chris Blair (The Beatles, Radiohead).
The success of the bands fourth studio album, Amanece, clinched their position as one of the most important Latin rock bands in Chile and Latin America, and their live album and DVD, Sesión Futura, along with the Sálvame la vida EP, earned them the Best Group APES award in 2003.
Lucybell is now the best-selling rock band in Chile. With six gold records and a large and faithful fan base, this trio is poised to take on the world.
In keeping with their desire to reach a larger audience, Lucybell moved to Los Angeles, California in April, 2003. They spent the following months composing new material in their Burbank rehearsal studio, and during that time met British sound engineer Adam Moseley (Roxette, The Cure, Kiss). Moseley shared the bands vision of their new sound, so they chose him to produce the new albums first single, recorded and mixed at the Dust Brothers studio The Boat.
Sálvame La Vida was released as an EP in Chile as Lucybell began work on the rest of the album. Lucybell recorded and mixed 12 more songs at The Boat with Moseley, completing the process at the end of 2003. The album reveals an at once more mature and more experimental sound. Guitarist / vocalist Claudio Valenzuela's elegant lyrics and bassist/keyboardist Eduardo Caces' intensive production efforts complete the bands new sound: Lúmina.
Cote Foncea joined the band in 2005, he has a long time relation with Claudio and Eduardo so it was very easy to set the band up, touring all around America immediately. Peru, Ecuador, Argentina, Mexico, Uruguay, Colombia and USA have been regular stops on Lucybell's Touring Schedule.
After almost a year playing live shows, the band started producing and recording (in Estudios Foncea - Chile and panda Studios - Argentina) their 8th Studio album called Comiendo Fuego. This was coproduced with long time friend and producer Adam Moseley. The album went number one in Chilean Charts and was a great star for a complete year of touring and promoting.
The band moved to Mexico City and between 2006 and 2007 they completed a new EP called Primitivo. Six songs and heavy rock mood was the result of the band's 9th Production. Cote, Claudio and Eduardo took care of the production and composing. It was recorded in Chile (Estudios Foncea) and Mixed in Mexico (Jarpa Estudios).
2008 have been a very busy year for the band. They recorded a live show, two days in a recording studio with 200 people per show, 9 cameras, lot of energy, great music, 13 live songs, 2 new studio songs, 4 month post production. Produced by Lucybell, Executive Production by Cote Foncea, Christian Rojas and Pablo Ayala and Directed by Los Felipes (Felipe Foncea and Felipe Sepulveda)... this is called SESION PRIMITIVA and it will be the second live album from Lucybell. It is going to be released in November of 2008 with simultaneous release in Chile, Mexico and Peru.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
EXPULSADO DEL PARAÍSO
CORAZON MAL REARMADO
LOS PEDAZOS
YA NO CALZAN TAN BIEN
CONVERTIDO EN ACERO
POR EL PESO Y EL EXTREMO FRÍO
ERA EL PRECIO
LO DEBIA PAGAR
Y TE VI
FRENTE A MI
Y SALTE A TUS OJOS
SIN PENSAR
Y VOLVERIA A IR
SIEMPRE VOLVERIA A IR
VOLVERIA A IR
LA CIUDAD NO PERDONA
MI ANGEL YA NO HABLA, PERDIÓ EL JUICIO
IBA A GRITAR MI DUELO
DESAPARECIERON
NO HABIA NADIE MAS
Y TE VI
FRENTE A MI
Y SALTE A TUS OJOS
SIN PENSAR
Y TE VI
FRENTE A MI
Y SALTE A TUS OJOS
SIN PENSAR
Y VOLVERIA A IR
SIEMPRE VOLVERIA A IR
JURO VOLVERIA A IR
VOLVERIA A IR
SIEMPRE VOLVERIA A IR
JURO VOLVERIA A IR
NAH NAH NAH

SIEMPRE VOLVERIA A IR

The lyrics of Lucybell's song "Salté A Tus Ojos" explore themes of personal redemption, lost love, and the willingness to take risks for someone. The first verse begins with the singer describing themselves as "rescued from the fire" and "expelled from paradise," suggesting that they have experienced a painful and transformative event. They also mention having a broken heart that no longer fits together, indicating emotional turmoil and difficulty moving on.
In the chorus, the singer expresses their transformation into something akin to steel, hardened and cold from the weight of their experiences. They admit to surrendering in silence, acknowledging that they had to pay a price for their transformation. Then, they portray encountering the person they are addressing, and it prompts them to take a leap into that person's eyes without overthinking it. This implies that the singer is willing to take risks and jump into the unknown to be with this person, suggesting a deep connection.
The second verse portrays the city as unforgiving and the singer's angel, possibly a metaphor for their previous sense of innocence or purity, no longer able to communicate. They were going to shout their grief, but everyone disappeared, leaving the singer alone with their feelings. This could represent a feeling of isolation and loss.
The chorus is repeated, emphasizing the singer's willingness to jump into the person's eyes without hesitation. They vow to always go back, reinforcing their commitment to the connection they share. The repetition of the phrase "I swear I would go back" further emphasizes their loyalty and dedication to this person.
The song concludes with the repetition of the chorus and the phrase "nah nah nah." This repetition could serve as a cathartic release or expression of emotion. The final repetition of the phrase "I swear I would go back" reinforces the singer's unwavering commitment to being with this person.
Overall, "Salté A Tus Ojos" explores themes of personal transformation, the depth of a connection with another person, and the willingness to take risks and make sacrifices for love. The lyrics convey a sense of emotional intensity and a longing to be with someone despite the challenges and hardships faced.

Rescatado del fuego
Expulsado de el paraíso
Corazón mal rearmado
Los pedazos ya no calzan tan bien
Convertido en acero
Por el peso y el extremo frío
Me rendí en silencio
Era el precio, lo debía pagar
Y te vi frente a mí
Y salté a tus ojos sin pensar
Y volveré a ir
siempre volveré a ir
Volveré a ir
La ciudad me perdona
Mi ángel ya no habla, perdió el juicio
Iba a gritar mi duelo
Desaparecieron, no había nadie más
Y te vi frente a mí
Y salté a tus ojos sin pensar
Y te vi frente a mí
Y salté a tus ojos sin pensar
Y volveré a ir
Siempre volveré a ir
Juro volveré a ir

Qué hermosa poesía tienen en Chile, lo he podido descubrir a través de quien me lo ha dedicado. Saludos desde Buenos Aires.

@María Laura Lucconi ya la escuchaste entonces? 😊. Cuando puedas lánzate con "Bufón".
Un día estaba Manuel García intentando componer alguna canción y la inspiración no le venía. De repente alguien llamó a su puerta, fue a abrir y no había nadie. Ahí se le ocurrió la idea de que algún Bufón había golpeado su puerta y se había escondido y la canción fluyó solita hasta que estuvo terminada. Es poesía pura y bella.
