11) VEGA were one of several Andalusian and Spanish bands who flourished in the mid- to late seventies by making music that blended flamenco, folk and jazz at times with English progressive tendencies, often resulting in a colorful and rich fusion sound. Acts like TRIANA, CAI, MEZQUITA and AZAHAR would establish themselves as the preeminent players on these scenes, along with the more contemporary counterparts like LOS CANARIOS and ALAMEDA.
12) VEGA was a German hip-hop duo that released the single Ich chille in 1999.
In this vein VEGA combined Andalusian instrumentation (and sometimes traditional arrangements) with a less well-defined progressive bent, emphasizing instead a heavy flamenco influence and the showcased guitar work of band leader Tómas Vega. Vega had been a member of the earlier Spanish band LOS GRIMMS, and would also, along with bandmate Jorge Pardo, lend his name to a couple DOLORES (Pedro Ruy Blas) records in the same timeframe.
The group released three albums in three years, each accompanied by one single. The first two are heavily imbued with flamenco-driven fusion compositions, while the final release 'Sol de Oscuridad' seemed to be more intended as an attempt at commercial success with vocals and repetitive, less original arrangements. The band was already in its death throes by the time the third album released.
VEGA were a minor player in an ample line of Spanish and Andalusian prog bands of the seventies and eighties. While their contributions don't generally rank among the greatest acts of that segment, they are worthy of recognition and inclusion in these ProgAcrhives.

13) VEGA is a three-piece heavy stoner rock band hailing from the 'VEGA' star. They traveled the interstellar star-ways of the multiverse in their dark matter-fueled VEGA-van, intent on spreading their riff to passing planets. Lights years into their journey they happened upon a planet that caught their attention: this planet was unlike any of the other desolate and in some cases, down right primitive planets they had visited since they started their galactic tour. This planet was Earth and they found it akin to their homeland; such as it was cut from the same great cosmic cake as VEGA. It had majestic mountains, vast oceans, extreme deserts, beautiful flowered plains, and industrialized modern cities. All Earth's inhabitants, from intelligent lifeforms to basic single-celled organisms, were identical to VEGA-ns and lived indistinguishable lifestyles and had similar habits to the people of their home-star. Earth even had music: just like VEGA. VEGA decided to stay on this strangely familiar, yet completely foreign sister-planet and lay down their sweet-star riffs as ambassadors to their beloved VEGA.

Staring At The Sun
Vega Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Thinking somehow I misunderstood
I've been drinking about you more than I should
They said we were too young
Going back to twenty-one
'Cause you said that you cannot leave me
You said you, won't
We carve our names in the city
You said that you would not leave me
But now you're, gone
Now you're, gone
Now I
I keep it locked away all days to come
The beauty of your face I come undone
Because it feels like staring at the sun
Feels like, feels like
Feels like, feels like
Staring at the sun
Feels like, feels like
Staring at the sun
Staring at the sun
Say you're happy and now and I'm under your spell, eh
Gotta know what you hide, you know me too well
And then you kiss me goodnight, tell me farewell
And you're standing all alone, in a minute you are gone
'Cause you said that you cannot leave me
You said you, won't
We carve our names in the city
By the red payphone
You said that you would not leave me
But now you're, gone
Now you're, gone
Now I
I keep it locked away all days to come
The beauty of your face I come undone
Because it feels like staring at the sun
Feels like, feels like
Feels like, feels like
Staring at the sun
Feels like, feels like
Staring at the sun
Staring at the sun
Staring at the sun
I've been wasting time
Way down, down that line
Every waking hour
Way down, down that line
I keep it locked away all days to come
The beauty of your face I come undone
Because it feels like staring at the sun
Feels
like, feels like
The lyrics of "Staring at the Sun" by Vega convey a sense of yearning for a lost love. The singer reflects on her memories of the person she loved, who said they wouldn't leave her but eventually did. She has been thinking and drinking about them more than she should, showing that she is struggling to forget them. The line "We carve our names in the city by the red payphone" highlights the deep emotional connection between the two lovers, as they immortalized their love by leaving their mark on the city. The singer's pain is palpable when she repeats "Now you're gone" several times, emphasizing the sense of loss she feels.
The chorus of the song, "Because it feels like staring at the sun," conveys the painful and intense nature of the singer's feelings for her lost love. Like staring at the sun, her emotions are overwhelming and potentially damaging, yet she cannot look away. The repeated use of "feels like" and "staring at the sun" highlights the depth of her emotional experience. The final lyric, "I've been wasting time way down, down that line," also suggests that the singer recognizes that her all-encompassing love for this person may have been a futile pursuit.

I've been thinking about you more than I should, eh
I've been obsessing over you lately more than I should be, eh
Thinking somehow I misunderstood
Believing that perhaps I have misunderstood the situation
I've been drinking about you more than I should
I've been drowning in drinks thinking about you
They said we were too young
People thought we were too young for each other
Going back to twenty-one
Reminiscing about the time when we were both twenty-one
'Cause you said that you cannot leave me
You expressed to me that you could never leave me
You said you, won't
You promised me that you won't leave me
We carve our names in the city, By the red payphone
We engraved our names in the city near the red payphone, as a symbol of our eternal love
But now you're, gone
But now you're gone and I'm left alone
Now I
And now, I
I keep it locked away all days to come
I keep it locked away in my heart, all days to come
The beauty of your face I come undone
Just the beauty of your face can make me feel like I'm falling apart
Because it feels like staring at the sun
Because it feels like staring at something so pure and bright that it hurts my eyes
Say you're happy and now and I'm under your spell, eh
You say you're happy, and I'm under your spell, eh
Gotta know what you hide, you know me too well
I need to know what you're hiding from me but you know me too well
And then you kiss me goodnight, tell me farewell
And then, before leaving, you kiss me goodnight and tell me farewell
And you're standing all alone, in a minute you are gone
You stand there alone, for a moment, and then you're suddenly gone
I've been wasting time, Way down, down that line
I've been wasting my time, lost in my thoughts about our past
Every waking hour, Way down, down that line
Every waking hour I spend lost in my thoughts about our past
