I’ve been captured
By a powerful organisation in California
They caught me unawares

Now I’m caught I don’t know where
And time takes on a dull veneer of blue
Confused and astray
I made for easy prey

I’ve been captured
Now everywhere they lead me
by the hand
Some days I blame myself

But I really never stood a chance
Well organised, determined
and financed
They wore me down ‘til I was glad
To give them everything I had

Often I wake and
I don’t know where I am
Just waiting on the promise of release
I am made of sleep
Of memories and fragments
of an old dream

What value is this life
When your mind is not your own?
I’m never alone

Death Of Nelson Mandela (AudioBake Mix)

This is an instrumental Sade cover. I found it listed as 6/8, 3/4, and 4/4 time signatures. After recording many versions I went with 4/4. I really like the complexity of the chords; it's very nuanced.

"Sou um Rio" - Music Summary & SoundCloud Description
📝 English Description for SoundCloud
"Sou um Rio" (I Am a River) is a deeply introspective and poetic ballad that explores themes of personal transformation, resilience, and self-discovery through the metaphor of a flowing river.

The song captures the struggle of feeling lost and out of step with the world—watching others move forward effortlessly while you stumble through your own hesitations. Yet, within this vulnerability lies a profound message: every detour, every obstacle, and every moment of stillness is part of a greater journey of becoming.

Using beautiful natural imagery, the track weaves together the idea that life isn't a straight path but rather a continuous flow of movement and reinvention. Like a river that bends around stones, adapts to its landscape, and eventually finds its way to the sea, the protagonist learns to embrace uncertainty as part of their destiny. Even in moments of doubt and drowning, there's an unwavering trust that the river—and life itself—knows how to find its course.

"Sou um Rio" is an anthem for anyone who's ever felt out of pace, who's questioned their direction, but refused to give up. It's about the quiet conversations between the soul and destiny, the spiral of the heart expanding, and the transformative power of surrendering to your own flow.

Perfect for listeners who love: introspective singer-songwriter music, poetic lyrics, folk-inspired arrangements, MPB (Música Popular Brasileira), alternative pop, and songs about personal growth and resilience.

Rio Dentro de Mim

Sacred Compliance

After the Promise is a quiet, acoustic indie folk album about what remains when love ends without drama.

These songs live in the aftermath. The mornings after the vows stopped echoing. The long drives, the empty rooms, the honest self-reckoning that follows a relationship that didn’t explode, but simply expired.

Stripped-down guitars, husky vocals, and minimal arrangements carry stories of commitment, endurance, memory, and acceptance. There’s no villain here. No rewritten past. Just truth, reflection, and the slow work of learning how to carry what was yours and set down what wasn’t.

This album isn’t about heartbreak as spectacle.
It’s about dignity, accountability, and moving forward without bitterness.

Headphones recommended. Late nights encouraged.
