    This is a four year process of composing and producing all by myself in many different rooms in Porto where I lived. These fifteen songs are portraits of the city streets, places and feelings of this city. Porto it's one of the most old European cities and yet full of avant garde type of art, exquisite characters, entrepreneurs that even though they are surrounded by the facilities of a big city the nature that grows and shapes it makes them present and connected by it's importance. There's no coincidence that Harry Potter was in fact inspired by this place, the time I spent living in it my inspiration couldn't stop, every day I had a better song, every day I had more ideas, more choices, more confusion, this lead me to search for meditation and contemplation as a way to get out of my head and be present, therefore I started to feel Porto's essence, in the song "Devesas" I'm describing how it is to be a little out of the city, not far away, but far enough to be able to look at it from afar, to breathe the city as a mountain, as something you need to look at to feel small. I must thank every person I met, every friendship and every night out in the bars ("Passos Manuel"), I must thank the bohemian way I learned to fit in, all was important for my growth and work. This album has a message and the message is my message interpretation from Porto and everyone that makes it alive.

Porto 04:01
Desço a pé as ruas mas voo com os meus olhos descubro sitios que nunca hei-de esquecer as pessoas passam e ninguém me vê colecto sombras sentimentos que ficaram de outra gente que também quer voar vem degar o sol por entre as nuvens cheias aquece o paladar de um gelado neste inverno andamos todos à espera de mais um raio de luz se este demorar sai sempre de casa mais alguém para vir ter às virtudes e se a vida te ofender sabes que ela te faz viver diz-me quando virás de vez se não te enxergas desta paz diz-me quando será de vez que vens viver pra meu lado em todo o lugar encontro amigos das noites longas vêm contar mais ideias de pontas soltas Douro turquesa espelha gaia e as multidões atravesso a ponte até ao jardim do morro bebo um fino e fico para pensar E se a vida te ofender sabes que ela te faz viver aceita a bem nás vás a perder conta tudo pra tecer

Devesas 04:43
Hoje sai nas Devesas proocurei um bom lugar Hoje não sou eu a mesma e se houver alguém por cá mostra-me que sou normal como um ser animal Hoje não sei ver beleza mesmo estando aqui o mar hoje não tenho a certeza e se houver alguém por cá mostra-me que sou normal como um ser animal

Lembrar Cura 04:18
Sai hoje da marina Gondomar até Baião recordei-te em dopamina e quero entregar-te esta emoção Foi na serra que eu te vi lá embregado com tanta solidão foi no céu aquela terra paz que nunca te trouxe sedução voltei sem quedas sem nada para dar mas sinto-me mais leve por lembrar Fui cedo nem havia um raio de sol para me aquecer no silêncio da rotina penso em ti pra me desfazer A tua imagem já é turva embriagada de ilusão quem me dera poder ver-te uma vez mais em contemplação As vidas passam e aquela brisa sabe ainda amarga naquele entrave do sabor dos dias sem ter bem certeza

de que é feito aqui onde o ar é o verbo respirar aqui na hora do teu sentir já não penso em sair fico para contemplar e desisto de esperar descanso com a memória do nosso viajar de que é feito de ti Ó Natureza Das tuas costas das tuas praias pérolas e vozes no teu cabelo sempre para um fim maior mesmo quando causamos dor semeias falas de uma corda bamba se eu pudesse se eles soubessem compreender-te
8.
Undressed trees stand shivering as flimsy shifts blew away; the last leaves are quivering, till they too will drop, decay. Under bark's rough covering grow tiny cells in wonder- blooms to be, still hovering, kept safe from autumn's thunder. Dreams of spring are flowering in darkened nights soft caress; lovers cuddle, showering moist kisses on skin, undressed
9.
City of choices In every heart i see a trouble facing the silence of everyone I hear all their steps echoing inside these walls they come with a weeping tone missing home We are living so close but yet so distant for how long? I'm a city of choices none of them seems good to me I see everywhere science taking over and easing our minds of the unknown but how can it answer to our questions of our absence But i don't give a damn walking downtown emerged inside the headphones this plastic generation just trowing egos inside those machine bones they're mirroring their fears in every faces we are city of choices and none of them seems good to me
10.
Good Dancers 04:04
I'm with my eyes closed trusting in you to guide me take my hands away cause baby i love this danger now i'm passing by mountains with strawberry fields and layers of the nights we got drunk in our feeling I don't know how we got here but I don't wanna wake up Show me the way i need you to hold me tigher you make me feel safe creating heavens with our own kiss what good dancers we are chasing love in these waveform this time is packed with wisdom there, before the nightmares of flames and kept in secret until these days
11.
in insegurança de que certa irei falei, falei com mi alma e perto me despedaçei where do all this come in feelings reveal themselves unreal for them all to be sure kept in the storm in insegurança para quê que vens sempre aqui falei, falei te em silêncio mas nada vi em mim where do all you come in feelings reveal themselves unreal for them all to be sure kept in the storm

Somewhere, somehow, someday I see you in my dreams shaking hands with everyone i see you in my fears making a pact with the devil I know you, somehow, from somewhere, someway I need that dream to own you shake my hands carry me away It's been so hard to get there the more I try to convince me I'm right the more i am afraid of telling you
14.
Chibiusa 03:53
She would come to the ocean If i was drowning if i was drowning she would pick the sun from a rainy day so i could walk free through the streets in her arms she would carry me trough a muddy ground I'm Chibiusa from the moon she would find me anywhere if i was in trouble showing me the better ways i couldn't ever see in exchange of tenderness at nights while we sleep
15.
The Walk 05:23
Come to bed I've been waiting for you everyone I got before you I've got so many lovers but not you and I never met deep love it's true And now we walk in this amazing race where's everyone

about

This is a four-year process of composing and producing all by myself in many different rooms in Porto where I lived. These fifteen songs are portraits of the city streets, places and feelings of this city.
Porto it's one of the oldest European cities and yet full of avantgarde type of art, exquisite characters, entrepreneurs that even though they are surrounded by the facilities of a big city the nature that grows and shapes it makes them present and connected by its importance.
It is no coincidence that Harry Potter was in fact inspired by this place. The time I spent living in it my inspiration couldn't stop.
Every day I had a better song, every day I had more ideas, more choices, more confusion, this led me to search for meditation and contemplation as a way to get out of my head and be present, therefore, I started to feel Porto's essence.
In the song "Devesas" I'm describing how it is to be a little out of the city, not far away, but far enough to be able to look at it from afar, to breathe the city as a mountain, as something you need to do sometimes to feel small.
I must thank every person I met, every friendship and every night out in the bars ("Passos Manuel"). I must thank the bohemian way with which I learned to fit in. All was important for my growth and work.
This album has a message and the message is my message: An interpretation of Porto and everyone that makes it alive...
