about

With Marcus King and Jimi Hendrix as references on the lead guitar, soul rears its head between the 90s brushstrokes of The Black Crowes and the almost ubiquitous southern rock. Speaking of how stupid we can be when we give advice, the backing vocals bring a new color to the album palette and invite us to an uncommon empathy.

lyrics

LIFE GURU

I once was just like you.
I have lived your life, I’ve been in your shoes.
And I have learned from my path,
so I know how you feel and I know exactly why.
Now you can stop holding your blues.
Thank God! I’m here for you.

Troubles come, troubles invade,
But, if I use my words, troubles run away.
Yeah, I know it’s hard to believe.
“How could such a wizard be talking to me?”
But clear your eyes, this is true.
Maybe you did something good.

You don’t have to tell,
I can see through you.
Everything will change.
You only have to listen to my rules
cause I’m a life guru.

Could I be not so cool?
Could I be unwise, just another fool?
Maybe I’m a simple guy
waiting for my turn to talk talking too much.
But I don’t know and I don’t mind.
I will keep on throwing all I’ve got.

Everyone around
they’re gonna freak out
cause I’m the only one
who can blow the black clouds.

You don’t have to tell,
I can see through you.
Everything will change.
You only have to listen to my rules
cause I’m a life guru.

Light doesn’t have any king or middleman.
All you need to show is some sympathy and love.

Light doesn’t have any king or middleman.
All you need to show is some sympathy and love.

about

LUBACK image

LUBACK Madrid, Spain

Established in 2011, LUBACK has encompassed rock, blues and folk into a unique style. After many concerts and their first album (“Inminente”, 2014, written in Spanish), a new language was needed in order to talk about those things that matter most in our lives (“Relative keys for vital subjects”, 2016). Their last record (“The deal”, 2019) shows their growth towards a pure organic bright style. ... more
