1) Motel is a soul-rock band created from Mexico in 2002, consisting of Guillermo (Billy) Méndez, Rodrigo Dávila Chapoy, José Damián and Rubén Puente. Motel formed when its original members — Rodrigo and Billy — reunited to perform music casually, without long-term career intentions. Both recorded songs in music studios and rehearsals independently for several months before coming together as a group. They then played as a duo in bars in [Mexico City, eventually inviting José Damián (drums) and Rubén Puente (bass) to form part of the band.[1]
In March 2006, they released their debut album, Motel, and single, "Dime Ven", both produced by Aureo Bauqeiro and co-produced by Jay de la Cueva under the Warner Music label. "Dime Ven" peaked at second place in the Mexican top 40 in July 2006, coming just short of Julieta Venegas's "Me Voy". Motel followed with a second single, "Olvidame". The same year, Motel wrote Skimo es el Lugar for the television sitcom Skimo, broadcast by Nickelodeon Latinamerica.
2)Formed in Sao Paulo, in the abouts of 2005, the band has influences that vary from traditional 70s hard rock to vintage electronic music.

Motel Lyrics

Quiero hablarte una vez mas
Quiero el tiempo y el lugar que hoy se ven distantes
Que me piden regresar
Y se, se
Se que todo cambiara y duele respirar
Y duele darme cuenta de que somos otros
Ven y dime, que ha sido de ti
Y entrégame tus manos otra vez
Quiero verte una vez mas lo que el tiempo esconde
Lo que nunca se sabrá
Y volver a conocer
Lo que hicimos antes
Lo que fuimos sin saber
Se lo que eres para mi te y espero siempre
Ven y dime que ha sido de ti, que has visto sin mi
Y entrégame a tus manos libres
Ve que lloro por ti
Y espero encontrar el tiempo y lugar
Donde las olas rompan con el mar
Ven y dime que ha sido de ti, que has visto sin mi
Y entrégame a tus manos libres
Ve que lloro por ti
Y espero encontrar el tiempo y lugar
Donde las olas rompan con el mar
The lyrics to Motel's song Octubre describe the yearning and longing of someone who wants to reunite with a past lover. The singer sings about wanting to see the former lover return, wanting to talk to them once again, and wanting to go back to the time and place where they were together. However, there is a sense of sadness and uncertainty, as the singer acknowledges that everything has changed and it hurts to breathe and realize that they are no longer the same people they used to be. Despite this, the singer hopes to reconnect with the former lover and regain what they lost.
The chorus repeats the plea for the former lover to come back and tell the singer what they have been up to since they parted ways. The singer wants to hold their hands again and revisit the past, uncover what was hidden by time, and rediscover their shared history. The song ends with the hope of finding a place where the waves crash against the sea, which may symbolize a metaphorical place of reconciliation or peace.
