Melodic Catalan Rock Band
Pere Flipat were a band playing Melodic Rock in the boom period of Catalan Rock (1987- 1993). We sang in English, Catalan & Spanish. We made an album in 1991 that was moderately succesful, but lack of promotion and direction led to schisms in the band and we split up. However, we are all still very proud of the music we made back then and that is why we want to make it available to a new generation of "Flippies" - as our fans were known. Sadly, a reunion of the original band is now impossible because Tony, our Saxophonist, was killed in a car accident a few years back.

Lyrics
Cocktail of Diamonds Don’t you look at me so, ‘cos I don’t want to talk to you, The words that you’re saying are making no sense. I’m just a travelling man, who sings with the rising sun. Thinking of you when he looks into infinity. Only the moon could sing its spell over a sad grey day, The lights of your city will flicker and soon die away, You stand alone in the dark, deep into the night, Enjoying the gentlest wind’s caress. I sit here waiting on the shores of your sea, For the moon to leave the water full of diamonds. Think I’ll go sleep on the sand, share the melody, That ceaseless rocking rhythm of you. And in a sweat you’ll waken up, Open the window and you will feel, The spell of the moon and hear her song (x 2) Her sweet sad song.
