🎵 Presentation of the song "Lamento do Sertão Urbano" (“Urban Sertão Lament")

Lamento do Sertão Urbano is a song born from the quiet, painful observation of the transformations in our environment. Inspired by the contrast between the green that resists and the gray that advances, the music travels through urban and rural landscapes, revealing the impact of unchecked expansion on nature and life.

With verses that blend lyricism and protest, the lament becomes a collective voice — of the birds, the people, and the cracked earth that insists on blooming. It is a humble tribute to resilience and hope that emerge even in arid times.

Without claiming to offer definitive answers, the song invites listening, reflection, and care. May it find shelter in those who also feel the weight of concrete and dream of deeper roots.

Lyrics in English:

(Verse 1)

How many birds would find their home 
In the living green that could still grow
Across a landscape where these concrete grays
Paint the city in lifeless shades?
By the banks of the Potengi, a mangrove holds its breath,
And a bem-te-vi seeks shade on an electric wire.

(Chorus) 

Green fading, gray rising 
Green vanishing, gray expanding

(Verse 2) 

Warm, hot — a stifling heat, relentless and sharp,
Every patch of land, every paved path,
Boils under the sun, sharpening the island of burning heat,
Begging for at least one drop
Of the planet’s most vital liquid.
In the São Francisco, the river’s skin reveals its bones,
In the caatinga, the macaw silences the sky’s blue.

(Chorus) 

Green fading, gray rising
Leaves withering, walls growing
Green fading, gray rising
Shade thinning, asphalt stretching

Up above, eyes gaze in painful waiting
For the drop that never fell.
You hear the silence of birds in mourning —
Is there a way out, a solution to this?

(Chorus) 

Green fading, gray rising
Green vanishing, gray expanding
Leaves withering, walls growing
Shade thinning, asphalt stretching

Up above, eyes gaze in painful waiting
For the drop that never fell.
You hear the silence of birds in mourning —
Is there a way out, a solution to this?

(Outro) 

The lament of the urban sertão is what I hear.
Yet from cracked soil, stubborn life is born.
A full cistern, hands joined in effort, roots that endure.
If the “could’ve” could breathe, the city would learn to listen.
In the square, a sapling casts its shade — it will bloom.
From clay to backyard, from mangrove to heart,
Hope sprouts without asking permission.

(Eh eh eh, Eh Oh oh oh)
The lament of the urban sertão is what I hear
(Eh eh eh, Eh Oh oh oh)
The people of the sertões and the birds are in mourning
(Eh eh eh, Eh Oh oh oh)
The lament of the urban sertão is what I hear

(Flute Solo)

Bust a move

Slip N Slide centers the feelings of pain surrounding heartbreak. These are the very emotions that paved my entry into making music. We've all been through our love trials and breakups, and if you haven't yet...it's probably on its way. All I know is, it showed me the way and made me who I am today. Know who is good to keep around and know who drains your energy. Hope yall vibe with this one. 

Slip 'N Slide

A song about the power of addiction and infatuation over the human condition and how obvious the right thing to do might seem, but how much we still hold on to people, habits, and things that take us down.

LYRICS:

Intro:


Take me down...


Verse 1:


Remember when we used to stare up at the stars

Nothing in this world quite like them

Shining in the dark

Remember when we used to gaze upon the sea

Nothing in this world quite like it

Made for you and me


Pre-chorus:


So won't you hold me

Love me


Chorus 1:


Take me down (so won't you)

Take me down (so won't you)

hold me 

love me

Take me down


Verse 2:


Remember when I used to fall into you arms

Nothing in this world so lovely

Lighting every spark 

Remember when we used to gaze into the pain

Nothing in this world so closely

Find me in the dark


Chorus 2:


Take me down (so won't you)

Take me down (so won't you)

hold me 

love me

Take me down


Outro:


So won't you

So won't you

So won't you

So won't you

why don't you

Take me down

This is a preview of a track that was inspired by a conversation I heard between a group discussing 'work' they had  done. I exaggerated it for impact.  Thanks for listening.
