Gripin is a Turkish rock band based in Istanbul. The members are Birol Namoğlu (vocals), Murat Başdoğan (guitar), Arda İnceoğlu (bass guitar), and İlker Baliç (drums).
They started as a cover band, playing in bars like Bronx in mid-'90s, and earned a cult following. Their wide repertoire not only included Britpop, but also featured examples of American alternative rock and in some cases, Turkish rock. The band started off together in 1999 playing mostly cover tracks in Turkish bars and clubs. Soon, they managed to establish themselves as a name behind the music they covered.
In the early 2000s, they started recording their own songs and released the album Hikayeler Anlatıldı (Stories are Told) in 2004, which was later released as a double album containing acoustic versions of the album's songs. Some of the singles featured in this album include "Karışmasın Kimseler" (Don't Let Anyone Stand Between Us) and "Elalem" (Everybody).
The following album was self-titled and was released on February 26, 2007. The new album features duets with popular Turkish artists like Ferman Akgül from maNga, Pamela Spence, and Emre Aydın. The producer of the album is Haluk Kurosman, the successful producer of many young Turkish talents (like maNga, Emre Aydın, Vega, and Göksel). The band is managed by Hadi Elazzi of GRGDN, the company Elazzi owns together with Kurosman.
Gripin is the self-titled second studio album of Turkish rock band Gripin, released on 26 February 2007 by Sony Music/GRGDN.
Há muito tempo ela se foi
O motivo eu conto depois
Falo com estranhos que cismo sei lá por que
Por obra do destino podem saber de você
Hoje eu canto a morte por saudade
E todo dia a noite eu bebo até tarde
Serão 1001 doses até você voltar
Serão 1001 doses até você voltar
Como todos fazem
Agora vem você
Cheio de teoria pra explicar o porquê
Tem coisas, meu amigo
Que não tem explicação
Curiosamente são todas do coração
Não sei por que, nem sei dizer
Como eu insisto em te querer
Maldito seja o dia em que eu te conheci
A minha esperança é a certeza de que os dados
Vão rolar e o destino vai trazer você pra mim
Invernos vão passar, 1001 doses vou tomar
Até o dia em que a porta abrir, eu me virar e ver você
