1. NEIGHBOURS OF MY FEAR

Letra: Sam Azura | Música: Rogério Godinho

Fala da turbulência interna que muitas vezes surge nas nossas cabeças, dos medos que nos prendem, do parece e não é, das desconfianças sobre nós próprios. Mas há sempre que manter o foco e força interior que nos mantém ou coloca nos carris certos, acreditando na nossa essência e naquilo que realmente somos.

My pain plays an encore

There are oceans I long for

Got handed the wrong shore

Sand is quick

There is traffic in my soul

My hand's hot, but I fold

My presence is troubled

Rolling away on my own

I just want a symphony

But I'm out of key
I held these hopes so high

Now I wonder why

The voices that I hear
Are neighbours of my fear

But you are always here

Dragging me out of this town

The voices that I hear
Are neighbours of my fear
But you are always here

Reminding me of my own sound

2. RESET

Letra: Rogério Godinho, Ana Stilwell, Manuela Quaresma | Música: Rogério Godinho

Fala sobre a necessidade de mudança pessoal, de cada um. Porque o tempo não pára. Quebrar rotinas que já não fazem sentido é imperativo para voltar a viver. E, para isso, é necessário arriscar e sentirmo-nos confortáveis a caminhar nesse arame, para chegarmos a algo melhor.

I was like a pet
of my own fears

Trained to respect, playing fetch for years

Stuck on a Merry-go-round, I hold on

No new land in sight to turn to

My mind goes numb
I really need to wake up

I’ve been fooling myself, now I see

The clock has no time for me
And life goes on

whether I’m trapped or free

It’s time for something new
A new attitude
I have to change the routine of my shoes

To make dreams come true,
Feel at ease on the edge,
before a real breakthrough

I want a reset

I need to move on

It’s time for something new
A new attitude
I have to change the routine of my shoes

To make dreams come true, feel at ease on the edge,

Before a real breakthrough

It’s time for something new
A new attitude
I need to change the colour of my blues

Let the cyclone move towards my regrets

And make everything brand new

3. WE CHANGE

Letra e Música: Rogério Godinho

Fala da mudança como algo natural. Cada dia que passa, ficamos diferentes. A cada pessoa sábia que conhecemos, ficamos diferentes. Cada experiência, boa ou menos boa, molda-nos. Acima de tudo, buscando o crescimento enquanto pessoa, vivendo a nossa verdade.

No return
On our way
It’s a thing
We should learn

All we do
Every step
Any thought
Makes us strong or weak

No matter right or wrong

But it’s true

So true - We change

Wise men say
Wise men show
How can someone grow? “Be true to your own”!

Every morning you look in the mirror

You maybe don't see it
You’re not the same guy anymore

So the past
Has just passed
Go ahead
And leave what weighs you down

Stay aware
Use your flair
And ease your life
By braving all your strifes

Awaking all your aims

Forgetting worthless claims

Embracing love and faith

Life is not a race

But when you realise it

You’ll be nothing more than a memory

4. LOVE IS ART

Letra: Sam Azura | Música: Rogério Godinho

Esta música surgiu a partir do visionamento do video da artista Marina Abramovic, no qual reencontra o ex-companheiro, passados 23 anos.

O que me chamou a atenção foram aqueles olhares, que tudo disseram. O amor, que foi paixão, transformou-se (outra versão do Change), mas ficou guardado em cada um deles, apesar de a relação ter tido momentos muito conturbados. Tudo isto sem uma única palavra trocada, até porque não era necessário. Uma vez mais, os sentimentos na sua verdade. Falaram por si.

Silence is the only servant when I’m trying

To explain the thing that came along
And caused our parting
Yeah, we fell apart

But now we ́re making art

We fell apart

Cause our hearts are mosaics
We were in pieces, now we ́re at peace.

Cause our hearts are mosaics
Yes, we were in pieces, now we ́re at peace.

But if it’s real it can never lose its root
We longed for the past and looked outside

And now we root
For all the things that were
I guess that life ain’t fair

For all the things that were

Cause our hearts are mosaics
We were in pieces, now we ́re at peace.

Cause our hearts are mosaics
Yes, we were in pieces, now we're at peace.

5. SOS PLANET

Letra: Sam Azura | Música: Rogério Godinho

Pensei, nesta música, no último Homem na Terra, que tudo arrasou, falando com ela, como que se despedindo e pedindo desculpa pelo mal que lhe fez.

A ganância, o consumismo louco e doentio, a falta de equilíbrio na gestão de recursos naturais, esgotando-os

As guerras, o mar como um caixote do lixo, o plastico, a contaminação...

You showed me green
You showed me blue
I showed you nothing tho' I knew

Rivers of greed flow into dust
Now look at me - why did you trust?

Our handshake hid my treacheries
I turned your landscape into a memory

The word "enough" was the enemy

I cut you out of centuries

I had a rib cage of ice
I guess I now know the price
Ain't no song that'll make you sing

You were the soil, I am the sin

You passed the keys
I burned down the doors

You were made for peace

I was made for wars

6. ONCE UPON A TIME

Letra e Música: Rogério Godinho

Fala de um mundo que não existe, que nunca existiu e que, muito provavelmente, nunca vai existir. Um mundo em que o respeito pelo ser humano impera, o bom-senso, em que as pessoas e povos se entre-ajudam e vivem em comunhão.

É como se estivesse a contar uma história - “Close your eyes and live this fantasy!” .

E no final a mensagem é que se cada pessoa passar esta ideia de mundo aos seus amigos, MUDANDO o seu micro-mundo, talvez se consiga uma mudança mais ampla e sensível no Macro.

A mensagem de esperança.

Once upon a time

A world where you don't feel alone

Once upon a time
A world where no one claims a throne

Greed and wars have no space

Close your eyes and live this fantasy!

Once upon a time
A world where culture is “the thing”

Once upon a time
A world where freedom doesn't sleep

Stopping navel-gazing tics
There's more time to help and to be held

Where respect has no colour
And where love has no gender
Where the game is not rigged
With no walls killing wills
Where people are more than numbers

Where “likes” go to science
Where what's fake has no clients

Where the media don't lie
And where all can climb high
Where people are more than puppets

Now that the fairytale is over
Open your eyes, and believe
That by sharing this story with all of your friends Maybe the world could be better... someday
