Oração - Os Arrais.mp3

There are songs that you write — and then there are songs that write you.
I wrote this one ten years ago, when the world felt hollow and quiet after my friend Paul lost his fight with cancer. The grief was heavy, shapeless — it filled every room, every silence, every night sky above the farm where I had my studio.

About a month later, my friend Carey showed up — wild-hearted, fearless, the kind of person who could make broken glass look like stardust. She dragged me back into the world, back onto my motorcycle, back into the sunlight. She wanted me to finish the song — to feel again.

That night, I begged her to stay. But Carey was always chasing the next horizon.
On her way home, she hit a deer — gone in an instant, still burning at a hundred miles an hour.

After that, I couldn’t touch the song. It became a wound I didn’t want to reopen — a ghost I didn’t want to hear sing.

But grief doesn’t fade; it just finds new corners of the heart to live in. And as the world keeps showing us pain, loss, and beauty in equal measure, I knew it was time.

This song isn’t just about death — it’s about love that’s too big to disappear.
It’s about the echoes we keep, the laughter we still hear, the people who never really leave.

“Grief is just love with no place to go.”
Now, I’m finally letting it go — and letting it grow

Grief is just love with no place to go - acoustic version

Ogni volta in cui esco dall’armadio e faccio rumore 
Lasciami amare chi lo vuole
Nei giorni belli ti vorrei, ti vorrei 
Lasciati amare da chi non ti fa sentire 
Come se quel che le puoi dare è il poco che ti rimane 
Prendo il tempo che posso spero di non sbagliare 
Se questo amore mi fa male 
Non scappo perché non lo voglio accettare 
Ho paura sia l’amore vero della vita che mi scappa dalle dita 
Ogni volta che lo tocco lui si strappa io mi incastro
Poi mi ritrovo in un luogo che mi stacca da me stessa 
Io vorrei piegarmi alla tua danza 
Farti vivere leggero 
Ma non scodinzoli al mio arrivo 
E io ti voglio tutto e mi affanno assetata per berti mentre tu sei asciutto e continui a strizzarmi
