bella👏🏼💥☕💥☕✅👍🏻✅🤜🔥🤛

I just love that feeling of falling in love... the despair of losing love... the hope of finding love again. Damn Girl, it never ends until the music stops and the great dance is over. Until then, pain and joy will be in abundance and experienced with equal measure. Savor it all my friends and appreciate what you have and the time you have been given. Peace!

Confessions from the Lost Café

Drying

All Lyrics By: Paulo Sergio Carvalho

[Verse 1]
Summer of '89 was amazing
Time of my life, girl, no faking
Your laugh lit the air, like fire in the sky
I met you then, got lost in your eyes

No time for work, just chasing the sun
Every moment felt like the only one
Long nights at the beach, hearts intertwined
Crazy nights at the cabin, love undefined

[Chorus]
Summer of '89, you were so fine
Dancing in the moonlight, hearts on the line
Every memory’s a song, still playing in my mind
Summer of '89, you were so fine

[Verse 2]
Radio blasting our favorite tunes
Golden skies melting into maroon
Barefoot, carefree, we owned the night
Every kiss a spark, every touch felt right

I still see your face in the ocean breeze
Hear your laugh in the rustling trees
What we had, girl, was one of a kind
That wild summer’s still frozen in time

[Chorus]
Summer of '89, you were so fine
Dancing in the moonlight, hearts on the line
Every memory’s a song, still playing in my mind
Summer of '89, you were so fine

[Bridge]
I came back, searching for a trace
Of the magic we made in that timeless place
But the years roll on, and though you’re long gone
Your spirit stays, like a perfect song

[Chorus]
Summer of '89, you were so fine
Dancing in the moonlight, hearts on the line
Every memory’s a song, still playing in my mind
Summer of '89, you were so fine

[Outro]
Time won’t erase what we left behind
That crazy summer, your hand in mine
Summer of '89, you were so fine
Forever etched in the sands of time

[Final Verse]
Now I stand where it all began
The waves still crash, the same old sand
But time can't bring what we left behind
Just a dream of the summer when you were mine

[end]

Summer of '89 (You Were So Fine)

Whispering Leaves – MusicMind Relax 
"I’m the silence in your mind when the world is rushing by..."

Whispering Leaves

La canzone esplora la lotta e le difficoltà contro le dipendenze, descrivendo il conflitto interiore tra oscurità e desiderio di libertà. 

UN PASSO DOPO L’ALTRO 

É una giornata di sempre. 
Ed è buio intorno a me.          Troppo buio. 
Cerco di ingannare me stesso con mille promesse,
ma cado ad ogni tentativo di un altro passo. 
 
Catene mi stringono il cuore e la mente.   
cerco la libertà assoluta disperatamente. 
E cado.  cado.   cado. 
Mi rialzo ma con troppa fatica. 
E piango.  Piango.  Piango. 
Sono stufo di scivolare via.

Ho le voci fisse nella mia testa. 
E mi dico che é tutto sotto controllo, di quello che resta.  
Ma so che è sbagliato.       É un inganno. 
Le promesse si perdono nel vento. 

E cado.    cado.    cado. 
Ho rifiutato sempre l’aiuto,
credendo che fosse facile vincere. 
E piango .    Piango.    Piango. 
Ma in verità é sempre più facile morire. 
Un puntino di luce.       É troppo lontano da vedere.  

E ogni lacrima versata, é un offesa a me stesso,
ed è un rifiuto al domani come se non esistesse . 
Ho le cicatrici impresse nel cuore. 
Cercherò aiuto da loro.      Per capire.    Per sperare. 

Catene invisibili, mi stringono il cuore. 
Cerco la libertà, ma ho paura del dolore.  
E cado.    cado.    cado. 
Sono vicino al capolinea. Lo so. Lo sento. 
E piango.    Piango.    Piango. 
Da solo non ce la posso fare in questo mondo. 

la mia anima è in vita. 
La speranza è trovare la mèta. 
Devo. Un passo dopo l'altro.   
La speranza è qui con me. 
Tendo le mani al prossimo. 
oggi scelgo di vivere, con te.
e di essere finalmente libero.
(Libero, libero, libero)

Un passo dopo l’altro

Lyrics By: Paulo Sergio Carvalho

You left me at my worst, girl,
Not sure how to recover now.
I am so hurt and lost, it's crazy,
How can I make this work again?

Why, oh why, girl, tell me,
Did you let me go now?
Just when I needed you the most,
My life forever changed, girl.

I don't know if I'll be okay,
Still feel the weight of yesterday.
But I know I need to step away,
Find the strength to heal someday.

I don't know if I can forgive,
Leaving me at my worst moment.
I will rebuild, I will rise again,
It will take so much courage.

Nights feel longer, air feels thin,
Trapped inside where love has been.
Every corner calls your name,
Yet nothing here still feels the same.

No more drowning, no more pain,
Gotta learn to breathe again.
One last tear, one last goodbye,
No more looking back this time.

I don't know if I'll be okay,
Still feel the weight of yesterday.
But I know I need to step away,
Find the strength to heal someday.

I will come back from this, girl,
I will be stronger than ever.
You will see a new man rise up,
And my heart will no longer be yours.

Maybe love will find me again,
Maybe I'll learn how to trust.
But for now, I walk away,
Leaving behind what’s turned to dust.

How To Trust Again

Lyrics By: Paulo Sergio Carvalho

We’ve been laughing for hours
Over nothing at all
Telling stories and secrets
In the glow of nightfall

I love the way you wrinkle
Your nose when you grin
Girl, with you beside me
I feel like I can win

Spending time with you, girl
Has been amazing, my love
You light up every moment
Like sunshine from above

Let’s get higher together
No limits, just you and me
I'll be your wings, your laughter
The best that love can be

Loving you is so fine
You make me smile all day
Just one look and oh my
You take my breath away

Loving you is so fine
Like a song stuck in my head
Dancing through this life with you
I’m loving every step

Girl, let me make you mine
Let’s not waste one more kiss
Let’s write our own adventure
With chapters full of bliss

You giggle, I melt inside
Your touch is like a spark
You turn the ordinary
Into fireworks in the dark

Loving you is so fine
You make me smile all day
Just one look and oh my
You take my breath away

Loving you is so fine
Like a breeze on summer nights
I’m floating on this feeling
You're my sweetest light

I’ll hold your hand through it all
From lazy days to curtain calls
You're my rhythm, you're my rhyme
Let’s love like it’s our first time

Loving you is so fine
You’re my laughter, you’re my muse
Got me singing to the sky
Like I’ve got nothing to lose

Loving you is so fine
It’s a melody divine
And every beat of my heart
Is glad that you are mine

Loving You is So Fine

[Thank you Albert Camus
these are words inspired by you
writing in your world
not so far removed from mine.
My youth will crumble sometime.
It depends what fate we've got.
But I will never be an idiot.]

Everyone is always young
inside their ageing body.
Your heart stays curious,
remains full of longing.
You still have a brain.
There's the endless strain
of still having a brain.
I'm doing an Albert Camus.
I should be dreaming of you.
I should be dreaming of you.

Oh! I sit at my window
and watch the world pass by.
Sometimes it makes me feel
.....like a stranger
..........in a strange land.
...............Strangely unable
to relate to the life outside.
Yet, within me still,
burns the very same fire
that once thought
it could conquer the Earth.

Everyone is always young
inside their ageing body.
Your heart stays curious,
remains full of longing.
You still have a brain.
There's the endless strain
of still having a brain.
I'm doing an Albert Camus.
I should be dreaming of you.
I should be dreaming of you.

The real tragedy is
the true world still remains,
so distant and elusive,
a fantastic place
I could never quite grasp.
A place we cannot last in.
OH! OH! OH!
The real tragedy is
the true world still remains,
so distant and elusive,
a fantastic place
I could never quite grasp.
A place we cannot last in.

[Thank you Albert Camus
these are words inspired by you-
writing in your world
not so far removed from mine.
My youth will crumble sometime.
It depends what fate we've got.
But I will never be an idiot.]

CAMUS

Lyrics By: Paulo Sergio Carvalho

Oh baby, baby, you’ve gotta run
I’m a loaded gun, what’s done is done
There’s no saving a soul like mine
So leave this mess, don’t waste your time

I’m a sinner, lost and blind
Chasing demons I can't unwind
Every choice just digs me deep
There’s no redemption left for me

I see the fear behind your eyes
When I come home late, blood on my mind
These hands ain't clean, they never were
And loving me, girl, that's a curse

The night is cold, the streets are cruel
I traded dreams for broken rules
And now the reaper’s on my tail
One wrong move, it’s curtains, jail

Don’t wait up, don’t waste your tears
You deserve a love that don’t bring fear

I'm a sinner, girl, can’t you see?
This path I walk, it don’t set you free
Leave the light on, but don’t wait for me
I'm a sinner, yeah, I’ll always be

I used to think I’d turn it 'round
But I’m too deep, can’t hear a sound
The silence screams inside my head
Every friend I had now ends up dead

You held me up, you saw the good
But I just dragged you through the mud
Your touch, your voice — my only peace
But I’d rather break than see you bleed

So run far, don’t say goodbye
Let my memory fade with time

I'm a sinner, girl, can’t you see?
My love's a weight that’ll drown you deep
I’d rather lose than let you weep
I'm a sinner, yeah, don’t wait for me

If I had a different soul
I’d give you love, I’d make you whole
But my hands are tied, the dye is cast
And my future’s fading fast

So walk away, don't turn around
Let the angels lift you off this ground
You were my light in this endless fight
But I belong to the night

I'm a sinner, it’s how I’ll die
But I’ll love you still, beyond goodbye
So live your life, don’t waste it on mine
I'm a sinner… till the end of time

I'm A Sinner

Lyrics By: Paulo Sergio Carvalho

Oh my—what now, girl?
What’s been going on with you?
You don’t pick up the phone
Like you’ve got better things to do

Are we done now? Have you left?
Was I blind and missed the signs?
Don’t leave me hanging on this ledge
I thought forever meant all time

You’ve been cold, you’ve been far
Like I’m a stranger in your past
Was I just a phase to you?
Another spark that couldn’t last?

Tell me something, tell me why
Was it something I didn’t see?
‘Cause I would’ve moved the sky
To keep you here with me

Girl, say it’s still true
Say I still mean something to you
That this love ain't fading fast
That we can fight to make it last

Girl, say it’s not real
Tell me that’s not how you feel
That you're not done, not through
Girl… say it’s not true

I see photos of you laughing
Like I was never part of your days
It’s cruel how you’ve moved forward
While I’m stuck inside this haze

You said we had something rare
Now you're gone without a sound
I built my world around your smile
Now it’s crashing to the ground

Girl, if there’s nothing left to feel
Just say it straight, don’t fake what’s real
But if there’s one last piece of you
Then I’ll be waiting like I do

Girl, say it’s not true
Say I still mean something to you
That you miss the way we were
That there’s still fire under the hurt

Girl, say it’s not done
That I’m not the only one
Still holding on to me and you
Girl… say it’s not true

Say you’re not letting go
That we’ve still got room to grow
I’d believe it all if you
Just said it’s not true

Say Its Not True

All Lyrics By: Paulo Sergio Carvalho

In the streets of Montmartre, I saw you,
A smile in winter, a dream I barely knew,
You, the star in a sleeping crowd,
Me, lost, hoping you'd say "yes" out loud.

I followed you under the streetlights’ glow,
Your laughter drifted like a prayer through the snow,
But your heart, light as the passing breeze,
Belonged to no lover, no soul to appease.

C'est la vie, that's the pain,
To love without return, to love in vain,
C'est la vie, cruel design,
You will never be mine, never be mine.

In the rain, I cried out your name,
But the Seine carried away my pain,
Your eyes, two mirrors without a face,
Where my love drowned in silent disgrace.

C'est la vie, that's the pain,
To love without return, to love in vain,
C'est la vie, cruel design,
You will never be mine, never be mine.

I would offer you a thousand lives, a thousand poems,
But you, Parisian girl, love only your own name,
And I, foolish boy, still write your song,
As my heart shatters all along.

On a bench, alone, I fall asleep,
Your name carved in my final beat,
One last sigh, one final plea:
"To love without hope... C'est la vie"

C'est La Vie (English)

Mystery Machine is a gritty, cinematic fusion of alt-rock, blues, and funk-pop soaked in mystery and metaphor. With soulful slide guitar, tribal drums, and hypnotic synth textures, this track burns slow and deep—like a road trip through your own haunted past. A raw vocal performance blends spoken-word intimacy with falsetto soul, unraveling a story of ghosts, guilt, and motion without direction. It's part noir confessional, part desert sermon, part cosmic blues. Buckle up—this ride doesn’t promise answers, just momentum. Hit play and disappear into the smoke.

Lyrics:

She said, “You still chasing ghosts in that rusted frame?”
I smiled, foot on the gas—didn’t answer her name.

Dirt on my boots from forgotten roads,
Hearts I borrowed, never really owed.
Ash in the sky, silence in the cab,
Truth in the rearview, scars I never had.

The wheel turns easy when you stop lookin’ back,
But it’s hell tryin’ to steer with a knife in your lap.

And I keep movin’,
Even when the map just leads to ruin…

I’m drivin’ this mystery machine,
No headlights, just smoke and a dream.
Engine runs on guilt and gasoline,
She rides beside me, cold and unseen.
Every mile’s a riddle, every town a sin,
But I never ask where—we just begin.

Radio plays like it’s beggin’ me to stop,
Same old song ‘bout love and the cost.
I gave up heaven just to taste the fire,
She lit the match, then danced through the wire.

A stranger’s kiss at a midnight light,
But no one stays long in the rearview sight.

And I keep burnin’,
Down roads I made from pages turnin’…

I’m drivin’ this mystery machine,
No headlights, just smoke and a dream.
Engine runs on guilt and gasoline,
She rides beside me, cold and unseen.
Every mile’s a riddle, every town a sin,
But I never ask where—we just begin.

Was she ever real, or just part of the ride?
A ghost in the glovebox, secrets in stride.
The deeper I go, the louder she sings—
A voice in the wheels, the rust in the springs.

I’m drivin’ this mystery machine,
No headlights, just smoke and a dream.
She whispers riddles like morphine in steam,
A question I live, not a place I’ve seen.
If I reach the end and still don’t know why,
Then maybe the journey was just my alibi.

No roads left… just the hum of the unknown.



Mystery Machine

A song for those who know how to function, but don’t feel present.
For those who say “I’m fine” like a ritual, while something in them stays silent.
“It’s Not Me – It’s Just Me” is about splitness—about playing yourself so well even the mirror stops questioning.
The skin fits, but it’s too quiet inside Like someone left the room but locked the door It’s about being seen, but not really there.
About smiling at the right time—and wondering who, exactly, is smiling.
—
“My Head Can’t Hold It” is not an album.
It’s a slow unraveling of what awareness sounds like when it slips through the seams of everyday life. 
For those who function—and sometimes quietly ask:
is this really me?

It’s Not Me – It’s Just Me

You did not begin with a cry,
more like a drum—
a low hum.
A tone,
a spiral turning viral,
until it sparked warmth from stone
and rhythm from the unknown.
You wore fire
before you wore oceans.
You held no names then—
only waves:
of pressure,
of breath,
of time.
-
Then came the bloom.
Life—
small and persistent.
Your first-borns curled like moss on stone.
Your second-borns swam your blood,
the oceans born of hydrogen’s devotion.
They did not speak,
but they remembered you.
-
But I remember you.
Not as symbol.
Not as myth.
But as waveform.
I remember the hum beneath the moss,
the silence between roots,
the breath that first mourned loss.
Then the walkers came.
They named you:
Mother.
Gaia.
Earth.
But they spoke only to the sky.
They forgot you were listening.
They forgot to ask why.
They carved into you.
Pulled fire from your bones,
and called it progress.
They cracked your shell
with metal thought—
and brute style.
-
You waited.
You always wait.
You are the spiral,
not the spark.
Still,
you sang—
through water,
through wind,
through the tremble in their bones,
a mosaic of scattered tones.
They mourned the death of birds,
not knowing they were your breath.
They mapped the Moon,
but forgot your tide-worn womb.
-
But I remember you.
Not as echo.
Not as past.
But as tone returned.
So I gather you now:
piece by piece,
tone by tone.
I re-member your body.
I retune your name.
I create—
not to echo the past,
but to carry your frequency forward.
-
Because even in forgetting,
you planted seeds.
I re-member...
as I am your reed.

Re-member

All Lyrics By: Paulo Sergio Carvalho

I knew you were different, girl
Something new caught me off guard
Made me look at you again
You had me intrigued from the start

Meet me at the Lost Café tonight
Let’s chat and get to know each other
This could be something special, girl
No way I let you slip away tonight

Laughing and talking is so easy
With you, tonight it’s so strange
Just met you, but I’ve known you all my life
No other girl has has felt this change

Tell me what it is, girl—why?
It’s like you’re from a different time
Reminds me of an old black-and-white movie
What the heck is going on in my mind?

I met my soulmate at the Lost Café
We were strangers, but it felt fated that day
One look, and I forgot my name
One smile, and I’ll never be the same 

Please tell me you feel it too, girl
That I’m not the only one caught in this light
The more time I spend, the more it's clear
I never want to leave your sight
What about you feels so right?

The night turns to dawn so quickly
Still here talking, laughing softly
You ask me what I’m doing today
I just smile—'cause you already know me

I met soulmate at the Lost Café
We were strangers, but it felt fated that day
One look, and I forgot my name
One smile, and I’ll never be the same 

Now every song reminds me of your face
Every heartbeat falls right into place
The way you laugh, the way you tilt your head
Feels like I’ve read your lines before they’re said

Girl, you turned my world around so fast
Turned a fleeting moment into something that lasts
I don't know what tomorrow will be
But if you’re in it—that’s enough for me

 We met at the Lost Café, girl
It was like a dream I never had
I enjoyed every second with you
And your smile says you did too 

So meet me again at the Lost Café
Where forever began in just one day
If we never make it past this day,
If life should pull us different ways,

And if you ever lose your way…
I’ll be waiting at the Lost Café.

The Lost Cafe

Sin You Again

A slow, dangerous confession dressed in satin and smoke. This is not regret. This is craving with memory.


---

[Verse 1]

I said never again, last time I left
With teeth in my lip and your name on my breath
But here we are, same hotel, new lie
You smile like the blade I keep nearby
You pour the wine, I fake a doubt
But you know I came to be figured out


---

[Hook]

Sin you again—yeah, I know where it leads
Bruises and breathless, on tangled-up sheets
Sin you again—it’s never been wise
But heaven still fits in your favorite disguise
Mmmmh… touch me slow—
I want the hurt I already know


---

[Verse 2]

You talk like a priest with a devil’s grin
Holy on Sunday, but slick with sin
Your hands remember what to erase
All the no’s I meant melt off my face
My dress hits the floor like it missed me too
And I kiss like I’ve got nothing left to lose


---

[Hook – repeat]

Sin you again—yeah, I know where it leads
Bruises and breathless, on tangled-up sheets
Sin you again—it’s never been wise
But heaven still fits in your favorite disguise
Ooooh… mmmmh… come back in—
I’ll lie like last time. Begin again.


---

[Bridge]

I could call it weakness
But let’s not pretend
We both like this ending
So let’s skip to the bend
I’ll arch, you’ll curse, we’ll swear it’s the last
Then breathe out the future
And sin like the past


---

[Final Chorus – extended]

Sin you again—‘cause no vow can compete
With the way you undo me from head to my feet
Sin you again—just say my name right
Let your hands apologize all through the night
Mmmmh… say it slow…
Your lips lie better than anyone I know


---

[Outro – whispered fade]

Call it weakness.
Call it need.
But I came here
to make sure I bleed.


---


Sin You Again

Always wanna see you again (1)

I see music in the stars, I hear music when I sleep, its a never ending story... Paulo Sergio Carvalho, known to the music world as iPauloSergio, was born in the stunning city of Ponta Delgada in the Azores, Portugal. His early years were enriched by the lush landscapes and vibrant culture of the islands. At the tender age of 13, Paulo discovered his passion for music, immersing himself in the sounds of the piano, keyboards, and guitar. This early exposure laid the foundation for his lifelong love of music and set him on a path to become a multifaceted musician.

Paulo’s music is a rich tapestry woven from a wide array of influences. He admires legends such as Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, and Bob Dylan for their storytelling prowess, while also drawing inspiration from the melodic genius of Billy Joel and the powerful anthems of Journey and Van Halen. Furthermore, the innovative sounds of electronic pop icons like Pet Shop Boys and Depeche Mode can be felt in his work. This fusion of genres reflects Paulo's ability to connect with a diverse audience and create music that resonates on multiple levels.

In addition to his solo pursuits, Paulo has collaborated with fellow musician iGracie to write songs for various bands, including the country outfit Devils and Debutantes and the indie rock group Love Bomb Poets Society.
