         Café Tacvba es una banda de rock alternativo procedente de Ciudad Satélite, Naucalpan, México. El grupo se conformó en 1989. Además del éxito comercial y de crítica que han logrado, el grupo es reconocido por su proyecto cultural vanguardista el cual mezcla el rock y sus temas habituales con letras, historias y sonidos extraídos de la cultura popular mexicana, esto último gracias al uso en diversas canciones de instrumentos como tololoche y jarana. Entre los principales premios obtenidos a lo largo de su carrera destacan el Grammy y el Grammy Latino.
         El grupo está conformado por Rubén Albarrán (voz principal y guitarra rítmica), Emmanuel del Real(teclados y coros), Joselo Rangel(guitarra) y Quique Rangel(bajo y contrabajo). Si bien el cantante principal es Rubén, los otros tres integrantes han prestado su voz para distintas canciones.
       Originalmente Rubén había entrado a un grupo cerca de la CDMX, este grupo se llamaba Torah y estaba conformada por Guillermo Aguirre (Bajista), Ulises de la Torre (Guitarrista), Darío Gómez (1er Baterista), Jesús Ambriz (2do Baterista) y Rubén Albarrán (Vocalista). El grupo Torah llegó a tener canciones como la de Ariana y las canción de Las Persianas. Pero Rubén se salió del grupo para seguir con su proyecto de Alicia ya no vive aquí.
          En los inicios de Café Tacvba se llamaron Alicia ya no vive aquí(en homenaje al director Martin Scorsese y su película del mismo nombre). La mayoría de las producciones realizadas por la banda en esa época fueron influenciadas por música anglosajona, al estilo de The Cure y Def Leppard. Posteriormente, tomaron su nombre de un conocido café del Centro Histórico de la Ciudad de México, Café de Tacuba, llamado así por su ubicación en la calle del mismo nombre. Previendo disputas legales con el restaurante, el grupo eligió reemplazar la u por la v.
          Café Tacvba recibió el premio Leyenda MTV por su trayectoria, a manos de Morrissey, quien aseguró que eran músicos extraordinarios.
          Cuatro caminos es el nombre del quinto álbum de estudio grabado por la banda de rock en español mexicana Café Tacvba. Fue lanzado al mercado por la empresa discográfica Universal Music México el 1 de julio de 2003.
          El nombre hace referencia a la zona de Cuatro Caminos, en Naucalpan, al norte de la Ciudad de México, sitio donde existió el Toreo de Cuatro Caminos así como la estación Cuatro Caminos del Metro de la Ciudad de México por la cual se accede a la colonia de donde es originaria la banda y donde ensayaba; además de ser un juego de palabras aludiendo al hecho de las visiones y formas diferentes en la que los miembros de la agrupación se relacionan con la música.
          Rubén Albarrán utilizó el seudónimo de Élfego Buendía. Este fue el primer disco de Café Tacvba en el que se usan batería y percusiones reales en lugar de caja de ritmos. Y también tiene parecido a ¨Re.

Eres
Lo que más quiero en este mundo, eso eres
Mi pensamiento más profundo también eres
Tan sólo dime lo que hago, aquí me tienes
 
Eres
Cuando despierto, lo primero, eso eres
Lo que a mi vida le hace falta si no vienes
Lo único precioso que en mi mente habita hoy
 
Qué más puedo decirte
Tal vez puedo mentirte sin razón
Pero lo que hoy siento
Es que sin ti estoy muerto, pues eres
Lo que más quiero en este mundo, eso eres
 
Eres
El tiempo que comparto, eso eres
Lo que la gente promete cuando se quiere
Mi salvación, mi esperanza y mi fe
 
Soy
El que quererte quiere como nadie, soy
El que te llevaría el sustento día a día, día a día
El que por ti daría la vida, ese soy
 
Aquí estoy a tu lado
Y espero aquí sentado hasta el final
No te has imaginado
Lo que por ti he esperado, pues eres
Lo que yo amo en este mundo, eso eres
Cada minuto en lo que pienso, eso eres
Lo que más cuido en este mundo eso eres.

          The Killers are an American rock band formed in Las Vegas in 2001 by Brandon Flowers(lead vocals, keyboards, bass) and Dave Keuning(lead guitar, backing vocals). The band went through a number of early lineup changes, but by 2002 they had settled on a lineup of Flowers, Keuning, Mark Stoermer(bass, rhythm guitar, backing vocals) and Ronnie Vannucci Jr.(drums, percussion). The band's name is derived from a logo on the bass drum of a fictitious band portrayed in the music video for the New Order song "Crystal".
        The band has released six consecutive chart-topping studio albums: Hot Fuss(2004), Sam's Town(2006), Day & Age(2008), Battle Born(2012), Wonderful Wonderful(2017), and Imploding the Mirage(2020). They have also released a B-sides and rarities compilation, Sawdust(2007); a live album, Live from the Royal Albert Hall(2009); a greatest-hits album, Direct Hits(2013); and a Christmas compilation, Don't Waste Your Wishes(2016).
          Since 2016 and 2017 respectively, both Stoermer and Keuning have had extended periods of hiatus from the band, though both remain official members. Stoermer mostly retired from touring, citing both exhaustion from the road and lingering effects from a pyrotechnics accident, while Keuning has released a solo album. Despite his hiatus from touring, Stoermer has participated in recording sessions for Wonderful Wonderful and Imploding the Mirage, and it was announced that both Stoermer and Keuning were participating in recording Pressure Machine, set to be released on August 13, 2021. Ted Sablay, who had served as a touring keyboardist and rhythm guitarist for the band since 2006, assumed lead guitar duties for live shows in Keuning's absence, while bassist Jake Stanton has taken Stoermer's place in live shows. With Sablay moving to lead guitar, the band hired Taylor Milne and Robbie Connolly to play rhythm guitar and keyboards live.
        The Killers are considered one of the biggest rock bands of the 21st century, and the most successful act to ever emerge from Nevada, selling more than 28 million records worldwide, including 10.8 million in the US alone. They have performed in over 50 countries and on six continents, headlining venues such as Madison Square Garden, Wembley Stadium and Glastonbury Festival (2007 and 2019).
         "Mr. Brightside" is the first single released by American rock band the Killers. It was released as the band's debut single and is featured on their debut studio album, Hot Fuss(2004). Written by band members Brandon Flowers and Dave Keuning, it was one of the first songs the Killers ever wrote. Two music videos were made for the song: the first one was shot in black and white and features the band performing in an empty room. The second one, based on the 2001 film Moulin Rouge!, was filmed for the song's re-release.
        The song was first released on September 29, 2003. It became more popular upon its re-release in 2004, peaking at number 10 in both the United States and the United Kingdom. It is the Killers' best-selling song in the US, where it has sold over 3.5 million copies. In the United Kingdom it has also sold over 3.5 million copies and is the longest charting single on the UK Singles Chart Top 100 with 260 weeks (5 years) on the chart and is the most-streamed track released prior to 2010. It is also one of the top fifteen most downloaded rock tracks ever in the United Kingdom.
          "Mr. Brightside" was named "Song of the Decade" by UK radio stations Absolute Radio and XFM, and in April 2010 Last.fm revealed that it was the most listened to track since the launch of the online music service, with the track being played over 7.66 million times. In October 2010, it was voted ninth in the Greatest Guitar Riffs of the 21st Century so far by Total Guitar magazine. Additionally, in 2010 Rolling Stone listed "Mr. Brightside" as the forty-eighth best song of the 21st century.

Coming out of my cage
And I've been doing just fine
Gotta, gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this?
It was only a kiss
It was only a kiss
 
Now I'm falling asleep
And she's calling a cab
While he's having a smoke
And she's taking a drag
Now they're going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it's all in my head, but
She's touching his chest now
He takes off her dress, now, let me go
 
And I just can't look, it's killing me
And taking control
 
Jealousy
Turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis
But it's just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
'Cause I'm Mr. Brightside
 
I'm coming out of my cage
And I've been doing just fine
Gotta, gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this?
(It was only a kiss)
It was only a kiss
 
Now I'm falling asleep
And she's calling a cab
While he's having a smoke
And she's taking a drag
Now they're going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it's all in my head, but
She's touching his chest now
He takes off her dress, now, let me go
 
'Cause I just can't look, it's killing me
And taking control
 
Jealousy
Turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis
But it's just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
'Cause I'm Mr. Brightside
 
I never
I never
I never
I never.

So lately, been wondering
Who will be there to take my place
When I'm gone, you'll need love
To light the shadows on your face
 
If a great wave shall fall
And fall upon us all
Then between the sand and stone
Could you make it on your own?
 
If I could, then I would
I'll go wherever you will go
Way up high or down low
I'll go wherever you will go
 
And maybe, I'll find out
A way to make it back someday
To watch you, to guide you
Through the darkest of your days
 
If a great wave shall fall
And fall upon us all
Well then I hope there's someone out there
Who can bring me back to you
 
If I could, then I would
I'll go wherever you will go
Way up high or down low
I'll go wherever you will go
 
Run away with my heart
Run away with my hope
Run away with my love
 
I know now, just quite how
My life and love might still go on
In your heart, in your mind
I'll stay with you for all of time
 
If I could, then I would
I'll go wherever you will go
Way up high or down low
I'll go wherever you will go
 
If I could turn back time
I'll go wherever you will go
If I could make you mine
I'll go wherever you will go
I'll go wherever you will go.

         Foo Fighters is an American rock band formed in Seattle, Washington, in 1994. It was founded by former Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl as a one-man project following the dissolution of Nirvana after the suicide of Kurt Cobain. The group took its name from "foo fighter", a nickname coined by Allied aircraft pilots for UFOs and other aerial phenomena. Over the course of their career, Foo Fighters have won 12 Grammy Awards, including Best Rock Album four times.
            Prior to the release of Foo Fighters' 1995 debut álbum Foo Fighters, which featured Grohl as the only official member, Grohl recruited bassist Nate Mendel and drummer William Goldsmith, both formerly of Sunny Day Real Estate, as well as Nirvana touring guitarist Pat Smear. The band began with performances in Portland, Oregon. Goldsmith quit during the recording of their second album, The Colour and the Shape(1997); most of the drum parts were re-recorded by Grohl. Smear departed soon afterward but appeared as a guest with the band frequently from 2005; he rejoined the band in 2010.
        Smear and Goldsmith were replaced by Franz Stahl and Taylor Hawkins, respectively, although Stahl was fired before the recording of the group's third album, There Is Nothing Left to Lose(1999). The band briefly continued as a trio until Chris Shiflett joined on guitar after the completion of There Is Nothing Left to Lose. The band released its fourth album, One by One, in 2002. The group followed that release with the two-disc In Your Honor (2005), which was split between acoustic songs and heavier material. Foo Fighters released their sixth album, Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace, in 2007.
           The band's seventh studio album, Wasting Light, produced by Butch Vig, was released in 2011, in which Smear returned as a full member. In November 2014, the band's eighth studio album, Sonic Highways, was released as an accompanying soundtrack to the Grohl-directed 2014 miniseries of the same name. On September 15, 2017, the band released their ninth studio album, Concrete and Gold, which became their second to reach number one in the United States and was the band's first studio album to feature longtime session and touring keyboardist Rami Jaffee as a full member. In February 2021, the band released its tenth album, Medicine at Midnight, and in October will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in their first year of eligibility.
     "The Pretender" is a song by the American alternative rock band Foo Fighters. It was the first single from the group's 2007 album Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace. It is one of Foo Fighters' most successful songs; peaking at number 37 on the US Billboard Hot 100(making it their third top 40 single), only "Learn to Fly" and "Best of You" beat its position on the Billboard Hot 100.

Keep you in the dark
You know they all pretend
Keep you in the dark
And so it all began
 
Send in your skeletons
Sing as their bones go marching in again
They need you buried deep
The secrets that you keep are ever ready
Are you ready?
I'm finished making sense
Done pleading ignorance
That old defense
Spinning infinity, boy
The wheel is spinning me
It's never-ending, never-ending
Same old story
 
What if I say I'm not like the others?
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
You're the pretender
What if I say I will never surrender?
 
What if I say I'm not like the others?
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
You're the pretender
What if I say that I never surrender?
 
In time, or so I'm told,
I'm just another soul for sale, oh well
The page is out of print
We are not permanent
We're temporary, temporary
Same old story
 
What if I say I'm not like the others?
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
You're the pretender
What if I say I will never surrender?
 
What if I say I'm not like the others?
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
You're the pretender
What if I say I will never surrender?
 
I'm the voice inside your head you refuse to hear
I'm the face that you have to face mirrorin' your stare
I'm what's left; I'm what's right; I'm the enemy
I'm the hand that'll take you down and bring you to your knees
 
So, who are you?
Yeah, who are you?
Yeah, who are you?
Yeah, who are you?
 
Keep you in the dark
You know they all pretend
 
What if I say I'm not like the others?
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
You're the pretender
What if I say I will never surrender?
 
What if I say I'm not like the others?
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
You're the pretender
What if I say that I'll never surrender?
 
What if I say I'm not like the others?
(Keep you in the dark)
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
(You know they all)
You're the pretender
(Pretend)
What if I say I will never surrender?
 
What if I say I'm not like the others?
(Keep you in the dark)
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
(You know they all)
You're the pretender
(Pretend)
What if I say I will never surrender?
 
So, who are you?
Yeah, who are you?
