Later on we'll see more topnotch bands from the 80's and 90's. But now, as I promised, a few more songs by
Nudozurdo, this fantastic alternative rock-band that has captivated me lately. So turn the volume up and enjoy, people.
The first of their three albums was titled
Nudozurdo (2002, re-released in 2010). Here we can find the group's characteristic features, including those metaphorical (and often surrealistic) lyrics. These two songs are
Dentro de él ("
Inside of Him") and
Viaja hacia mí ("
Travel to Me"). I can't deny that, somehow, I feel identified with the former (I'm a helpless neurotic).
