Their unique but widely appealing sound has made Lucybell a household name in their native Chile and a important contributor to the genre abroad.

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.

Un sueño
Lucybell Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tendrás que nadar lo mas profundo
Y ver como atrapar la duda en mí
Tendrás que cavar bajo mis pies
Sin dejarme caer, sin verme huir
Tendrás que volar tan alto al fin
Y dejarte caer directo a mí
Y te dejaré entrar
Me esconderás, me harás reir

Me harás gritar, me harás dormir
Y al despertar creeré que fue un sueño

Y tendrás que cazar al animal
Más fiero que habita ahora en ti
Tendrás que perder la fe, la voz
Los ojos y la piel, perderte en mí
Y te dejaré entrar

Me esconderás, me harás reir
Me harás gritar, me harás dormir
Y al despertar creeré que fue un sueño

Nunca estaré ahí
Y tu querrás entrar
Y nunca estaré ahí
Y tu querrás entrar
Y nunca estaré ahí
Te mentí
Siempre mentí

Me esconderás, me harás reir
Me harás gritar, me harás dormir
Y al despertar creeré que fue un sueño
Me esconderás, me harás reir
Me harás gritar, me harás dormir
Y al despertar creeré que fue un sueño
Me esconderás, me harás reir, (No me hace sentir mejor)
Me harás gritar, me harás dormir
Y al despertar creeré que fue un sueño

Nunca me sentí mejor
Nunca me sentí mejor

Overall Meaning

In Lucybell's song Un Sueño, the lyrics describe a complicated relationship where the singer is asking their love interest to take on various challenges to be with them. The first verse tells the person they will have to dive deep and capture their doubts, dig under their feet without letting them fall or run away, and finally fly high and fall directly onto them. The singer then says they will let their love interest in, hide them, make them laugh, scream, and fall asleep, and when they wake up, they will believe it was all a dream.

The second verse continues with the challenges, asking the love interest to catch the fiercest animal inside them and lose faith, voice, eyes, and skin in the singer. Once more, the singer declares they will let them in, hide them, make them feel a range of emotions, and when they wake up, they will believe it was all a dream. However, in the end, the singer confesses they lied, they will never be there, and the love interest will always want to enter, but it never will happen.

The lyrics of Un Sueño carry a deep sense of longing for love while acknowledging the difficulty in accepting someone else fully. The song's poetic language draws vivid imagery of the emotions it conveys, making it easy for the listener to visualize the tug of war happening within the relationship.
