Finde is one of the most successful independent rock bands to have originated in Mexico City in these last few years. This quartet worked several years in the underground rock scene, saving enough money to produce demos with songs that would eventually be featured in their first full length: Buscando Ángeles; released in 2006 on Class Music records and produced by Micky Huidobro and Randy Ebright from Mexican band Molotov.
From there on, the band went on by opening shows for Panda on the Amantes Sunt Amentes tour, a memorable presentation in the Vive Latino festival and as part of the Gira de Nominados MTV after being nominated for Best Independent Artist in the MTV Awards 2006. They where also the first band to appear on Alerta Live. Finde later took part in the Rock Al Campus tour, that performed on more than sixty high schools in Mexico.
In 2008, the group returned to the studio to work on their second material: Nada Es Como Ayer. Recorded at Blasting Room Studios in Fort Collins, Colorado and produced, mixed and remastered by Bill Stevenson (Drummer in legendary bands such as The Descendents, Black Flag and The Lemonheads) and Jason Livermore, who had worked for bands like NOFX, Rise Against, The Ataris, The Lemonheads, The Descendents, Puddle of Mud, amongst others.
Finde's new material had a stronger tone and is much faster, transporting the energy of a live show to the studio. The band was named as one of the best live rock bands by the magazine Alternative Press.
Finde hopes to renew raw, energetic melodies into the Mexican rock scene.
Te recuerdo bien

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Uh oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
No sabes cómo la he pasado
Viviendo en esta perra soledad
Si por las noches ser un lobo
Hoy por el día ya no puedo andar
Y darte una noche especial
Si revivimos el pasado
Tal vez te encuentre por algún lugar
No encuentro el camino para verte
Hoy sólo hay una foto en esa habitación
Que nunca veo porque no estoy yo, uh oh, oh
Porque no soy yo, uh oh, oh
Uh oh, oh
Uh oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Recuerda cómo la pasamos
En mi habitación
Con nuestros cuerpos empapados
Haciendo el amor
Recorrimos madrugadas
Te entregué lo mejor
Intercambiando las miradas
Se escurría el amor
No encuentro el camino para verte
Hoy sólo hay una foto en esa habitación
Que nunca veo porque no estoy yo, uh oh, oh
Porque no soy yo, uh oh, oh
Cuando despegamos (nunca pensamos en qué)
Pasarían los años (y no podríamos volver)
Y no podríamos volver hoy
No encuentro el camino para verte
Hoy sólo hay una foto en esa habitación
Que nunca veo porque no estoy yo, uh oh, oh
Porque no soy yo, uh oh, oh
Cuando despegamos (nunca pensamos en qué)
Pasarían los años (y no podríamos volver)
Y no podríamos volver
Uh oh, oh
Uh oh, oh
Uh oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Uh oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
The song "Te recuerdo bien" by Finde delves into themes of loneliness, nostalgia, and lost love. The initial repetition of "Uh oh, oh" sets a melancholic tone, hinting at a sense of longing and regret. The singer reflects on their past experiences of solitude, expressing how they have struggled in this "perra soledad," or harsh loneliness. The imagery of being a wolf at night and unable to even walk during the day conveys a deep sense of emotional turmoil and isolation.
The lyrics then shift to a more hopeful note as the singer plans to buy two gifts and create a special evening in an attempt to revive past memories with a loved one. There is a yearning to reconnect with this person and perhaps find them again in some way. The repeated refrain of not being able to find the way to see them emphasizes the difficulty and uncertainty of rekindling a past relationship or encountering a lost love.
The reminiscence of intimate moments spent together in a bedroom, with bodies intertwined and love flowing, evokes a sense of passion and longing for the past. The imagery of exchanging looks and experiencing deep connection through love further highlights the emotional intensity of the memories being recalled. However, despite these vivid recollections, there is a sense of yearning and inability to regain what was once shared.
As the song progresses, there is a realization that time has passed and circumstances have changed. The lyrics speak of the passage of years and the impossibility of returning to the moments of intimacy and connection that were once cherished. The regret and resignation of not being able to go back to that time is palpable in the repetition of "Uh oh, oh," reflecting a deep sense of loss and longing for what once was. The song ultimately captures the bittersweet nostalgia of remembering a past love while acknowledging the impossibility of reclaiming it.
