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.
Un día fui a pasear y no volví
Teleradio Donoso Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
En la once, en la mesa
Me da vuelta la cabeza
Un día fui a pasear y no volví
Me perdí en la esquina
Ahh... que vamos a hacer
Ahhh... y que vas a hacer
Me vas a decir que te asusta una noche sin calor!!!
Lo que me dicen en mi cama
No lo cuento, no lo cuento....
Ahhh... un fui a pasear y no volví
Me perdí en la esquina
Ahh... que vamos a hacer
Cada vez que algo salga mal
Ahhh... y que vas a hacer
Me vas a decir que te asusta una noche sin calor!!!
Teleradio Donoso's song "Un día fui a pasear y no volví" combines upbeat rhythms with lyrics that speak to the fleeting and ephemeral nature of life. The song begins with the singer expressing how the conversations they hear around them, whether at home or at gatherings, can spin their head around with confusion. This sense of disorientation continues as they recount a time when they went out for a walk but lost their way on a street corner, disappearing without a trace. The chorus speaks to a sense of helplessness in the face of unforeseen events and asks what one can do when things go wrong. The final verse refers to things heard in the bedroom, but the singer chooses to keep this to themselves.
The lyrics seem to be a reflection on the unpredictable nature of life and the transient quality of experiences. Just as the singer gets lost on a simple stroll, we can find ourselves lost in larger currents beyond our control. Despite the uncertainty that surrounds us, the song encourages listeners to push through and find ways to move forward. The chorus becomes a kind of call and response, as if the singer is seeking comfort and assurance from someone else - but ultimately, it's up to each person to navigate their own way forward.
