The band appeared on the Chilean music scene in 2005, as one of the finalists in the 6th annual National Young Band Festival at the Balmaceda Cultural Center, Santiago. Their first EP (self-titled) was released that year and a self-produced album, Gran Santiago, followed in April 2007. The song "Eras mi persona favorita" became their signature tune.
Attention from the Chilean media increased and they appeared several times on TV and radio. Their second album, Bailar y Llorrar, was released in 2008.
Then, suddenly, in October 2009 they announced that the band was separating, leaving the members to pursue solo projects. Anwandter released work as Odisea and, later, under his own name. Cristóbal Fredes is part of Los Mil Jinetes.
Cuando salga el sol vas a ser un recuerdo

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cuando salga el sol vas a ser un recuerdo
Una historia se repite
Cuando salga el sol vas a ser un recuerdo
Los hombres estamos rotos en mil pedazos
Los hombres estamos rotos en mil pedazos
Los hombres estamos rotos en mil pedazos
Tengo el agua hasta el cuello
Tengo el agua hasta el cuello
Y no sé nadar tan bien
Estoy con el agua hasta el cuello
Hasta el cuello
The song "Cuando salga el sol vas a ser un recuerdo" by Teleradio Donoso is a melancholic tune that presents the idea of the transience of human experiences and emotions. The repetition of the song's title throughout the lyrics underlines the idea that everything has an end, and no matter how intense or meaningful an experience may be, it will eventually become a memory. The first verse suggests that the same story keeps repeating itself, implying a sense of hopelessness and stagnation.
The second verse delves into the complexities of human relationships, particularly the fragile nature of men's emotional states. The line "Los hombres estamos rotos en mil pedazos" (men are broken into a thousand pieces) portrays the idea that men are vulnerable and emotional beings that need love and validation just like anyone else. However, the song also suggests that the right woman can mend these broken pieces.
The chorus returns to the central theme of the song, emphasizing the fleeting nature of time and how everything eventually fades away. The final verse uses the metaphor of being submerged in water to represent feeling overwhelmed and struggling to stay afloat amidst life's challenges.
Overall, the song delivers a poignant message that life is temporary, and experiences and emotions should be cherished while they last.
