Ugl… Read Full Bio ↴The Supersonics is a rock band from Kolkata, West Bengal, India.
Ugly, dirty and ultra-talented, The Supersonics crashed the Calcutta music scene with a high voltage performance at a crowded little bar called Someplace Else. Formed in 2006, their defiant anthems have already earned them an anti-gravity cult status. Geared with a toothpaste fresh sound and a dangerous stage presence, it would be wrong to call The Supersonics a band. They are a milk-drinking, vitamin-popping call to arms. They are a shiny new revolution.
Garage/Indie/Punk/Alternative/Blah…their sound is not pigeonholed to any one genre. The band has a huge, loyal and steadily increasing fan base. They write songs that are addictive like chocolate. One of the very few bands that has the crowd singing along with them on practically every one of their original songs. Their live sets are high voltage.
After their demise in 2010, they reformed again in April/May 2012 releasing their second album titled "Heads Up" in August 2014.
Spanish Eyes
The Supersonics Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Teardrops are falling from your Spanish eyes
Please, please don't cry
This is just adios and not goodbye
Soon I'll return
Bringing you all the love your heart can hold
Please say "Si, si"
Blue Spanish eyes
Prettiest eyes in all of Mexico
True Spanish eyes
Please smile at me once more before I go
Soon I'll return
Bringing you all the love your heart can hold
Please say "Si, si"
Say you and your Spanish eyes will wait for me
Say you and your Spanish eyes will wait for me
The Supersonics' "Spanish Eyes" is a melancholic love ballad about a man bidding his farewell to his beloved with "Blue Spanish eyes" and pleading her to stop crying. The phrase "Blue Spanish eyes" conveys the depth of sadness and pain the singer feels in leaving his lover. As he departs, he accuses her tears of being the source of his hurt, and hopeful of a reunion, tells her that it is an "adios" and not a final goodbye.
The singer promises to return soon with all the love her heart could ever want, requesting her to say "Si, Si," meaning yes, of course, to wait for him until he comes back, a promise of a bright future together. The lyrics capture the passion, love, and emotion involved in a goodbye that is not essentially a forever goodbye. It leaves the listener with a feeling of heartbreak yet hope for a reunion.

This has everything, echoes of ska, rocksteady, and embryonic reggae bass, and on top of it all is Tommy McCooks sublime jazz notes. His best ever I think. Thank you 🥰
