Despite the fact they started singing in English, the five-piece band fronted by David Carabén started using his mother tongue around 2005 and paved the way for the new wave of indie bands writing songs in Catalan language. Loved by the press and with a fan base growing in geometrical progression, they’ve just released a new album, their seventh, recorded at the mythical Black Box Studios with the help of Peter Deimel (The Kills, The Last Shadow Puppets, Anna Calvi). Hailed as their best, “L’ànsia que cura” (TRIS-Warner, 2014), captures the raw energy of their live set and a sophisticated range of influences including The Smiths and JG. Ballard, Randy Newman and David Lynch, Tindersticks and the chanson française. Think The National born and raised by the Mediterranean Sea.

Band members:
Xavi Caparrós - bass
David Carabén - voice, guitar
Marc Lloret - keyboards
Alfons Serra - drums
Dani Vega - guitars

Un altre divendres
Mishima Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Un altre divendres i encara no t'ho he dit,
una altra setmana amb el cor encongit.
Si reunís el valor per dir-te el que no goso,
si almenys m'atrevís a fer-t'ho saber,
no hauria de pensar en tu mai més,
no em caldria fer-ho cada dia,
cada dia més.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Mishima's song "Un altre divendres" speak of unrequited love and the fear of confessing one's feelings. The singer of the song has not yet expressed his feelings to a person he loves, and every week that goes by without doing so feels like an ordeal. He longs to gather the courage to tell them how he feels, but he is intimidated by the possibility of rejection. He imagines that if he were to confess his love, he would never have to think about them again, and the weight of his unspoken emotions would be lifted off his shoulders.

The lyrics convey a sense of sadness and apprehension, with the singer lamenting the lost opportunities that come with being too afraid to take a chance. The repetition of the phrase "un altre divendres" (another Friday) serves to highlight the cyclical nature of the singer's struggle, as every week passes by in the same way without any change.

Overall, "Un altre divendres" is a poignant expression of the universal human experience of unrequited love and the fear of vulnerability.

Line by Line Meaning

Un altre divendres i encara no t'ho he dit,
Another Friday and I still haven't told you,

una altra setmana amb el cor encongit.
another week with a constricted heart.

Si reunís el valor per dir-te el que no goso,
If I gathered the courage to tell you what I dare not,

si almenys m'atrevís a fer-t'ho saber,
if only I dared to let you know,

no hauria de pensar en tu mai més,
I wouldn't have to think of you ever again,

no em caldria fer-ho cada dia,
I wouldn't have to do it every day,

cada dia més.
every day more.
