Your track is great. The piano playing leaves me speechless. Absolutely virtuosic. The lyrics are great. 😁

Outstanding José and of course the piano is jsut magnificent......

Bonito piano y letra. Ójala esta fuera la última dedicatoria para toda esta gente viral.

Great lyrics that made my day! Did see every kind of things in the ER, this I didn't see yet ;-) Great backing track by Sounds M not to forget!

Merveilleux mix comme d'habitude entre musique et voix... Très belle réalisation jose

C'est toi qui joue du piano ? C'est superbe cet ostinato

Fantastic playing by Sounds M, some very evocative chords; but the humor hidden inside is better than a Crackerjack surprise.  Your lyrical phrasing and voicing is superb.  What we mortals will resort to "go viral", including igniting or own methane;))

Outstanding addition to this already fabulous piece...

Dedicated to all those who do ridiculous idiotic dangerous things in order to go viral in the internet.

*** Going Viral ***

McLuhan's vision of a global village has now become reality.
I've got ideas, but, with so many talking, they are now really hard to sell.
Although today, with so many listening, it's a wonderful time to tell.

Wake up my love!
Let's praise this morning to the world, and let's go viral!
Let's post our unquenched thirst for knowledge!
Let's tap the limits of what is possible!
I've got the perfect research area:
Let's try to ignite our noisy flatulences!
5, 4, 3, 2, 1, ignition...

Oh! Davy lamps that lighten our dark coal mines,
why didn't we take your sound advice?
So now we're staying at the hospital emergencies,
stuttering embarrassing explanations.
It was just another tragedy of science:
The slaying of a beautiful hypothesis by an ugly fact.

But all is well, my love.
We did went viral!...

The Ballad Of Lucy Jordan (Songwriter: Shel Silverstein)

Humans have a gene that favors curiosity, so-called adventure, and when this gene is activated, they want to leave their comfort zone and ``want to know what lies ahead.'' Driven by curiosity, I constructed a new imagination.

Curiosity repaints me (297)

Reflections of Mind (G. Di Nunno)

Stare down from these hills and then catch a breath
The tension past and present bind a knot
Ran the gauntlet out with these wounds as debt
While trying to hang on with all I've got.
Tired of all
Demands on time
Social cliques
Status lines
Reflections of mind.

My days grow short there's so much waste
That angst has bloomed with pending haste
In traffic stuck and always a line
All of this weighs on my flying time
So much to do
Surprise to learn
Lighting a fuse
Watch it all burn
Reflections of mind.

Signs with some pointing
Whom are you joining?
Money the new god
The public applauds!

Refuse to suffer
A tempting offer
I feel it open
Without suspension.

What's it all mean? I've passed the years
Lost in a fog that never clears
Oddest thing is I made it so hard
Hit re-set, and then fire the guard.

#3. Reflections Of Mind

Is there a future for all of humanity? Or have we passed the breaking point. Everyone is looking for light, joy, a clean and beautiful planet, etc. And to be content. Is it possible, and will we reach this beautiful shiny dream world, or are we a dying breed?

We Solve Most Things If We Talk

Summer rain finds my face, splashing through my smile
Thunder rumbles fall away, storm is phasing through
Peace of mind is on the case, misery is in denial,
Yesterday’s squally day, tomorrow’s skies are azure blue.

Dreams of history’s tension gladly start to ease
Gripping claws of lunacy finally shun the past
Seems things turned out badly for hunger and disease
Slipping towards unity, laying down the guns at last.

Call my neighbour as my friend, our meanings line as one
Colour, gods and politics accepted as they are
Mutualities to defend no conflict clouds our shining sun
Consideration and respect, a communal repertoire

Mother Mary called today
Handed me a flower stalk
Kissed my worries clean away
We solve most things if we talk.

Need as might we understand equality’s a bed of lies
Celebrate uniqueness as a cast of human thread
Day and night, hand in hand, no polity compromise
Learning from our weakness past, focused on the light ahead.

Mother Mary spoke today
Led me on a learning walk
Eased my troubles on the way
We solve most things if we talk.

Mother Mary sang today
Left me with a simple thought
The wisest heads will simply say
We solve most things if we talk.

Real Good trouble

Massive thanks to Magic Mike Fox  for his musicianship, producing, production and most of all just for being a top bloke.
And Nat Daniels for her massive contribution with her incredible vocals.
I have done many duets with Nat and every time it’s been a pleasure we have created many special moments.
Marry Me In Vegas was part 1 this is part 2 after Vegas with Real Good Trouble. 
Months after the non event of the grand marriage. He missed her after jilting her and not making the flight he felt like he needed to explain he just wasn’t ready for what she wanted. 
He never had the chance as she disappeared, shutdown her socials, changed her number and left.
Months passed without contact and then this phone called happened.

REAL GOOD TROUBLE (After Vegas)

I can’t believe you’re back in the city 
We called called our own
You wouldn’t recognise my number 
When I was calling,  calling on your phone
You said I’m sorry it’s been too long now 
And too many stones thrown 
I changed my number then picked another 
It was a stagecoach to Basingstoke 

Chorus 
So if you wanna get into 
Some real…. real Good trouble 
And leave our past behind
Then I’m ready & primed
For real good trouble 
For real good trouble….. Every Time! 

(every time.. oh baby baby baby... every time)

2nd Verse
After Vegas I needed to leave 
I should of worn my heart on my sleeve
Every minute of everyday 
I thought of you and what I would say 
I got a job found a place 
And for a while I was the new face.. 
And all the great moments that got us through 
Were never the same without You! 

Chorus 
So if you wanna, get into
Some real…. real good trouble 
And leave our past behind 
Then I’m ready & primed
For real good trouble 
For real good trouble … Every Time!

Every time.. oh baby baby baby... every time..
Real good trouble... 
Real good trouble... 
Real good trouble... 
Every time.. Every time!

Real Good Trouble (After Vegas) Fox, Brownie & Daniels

My wife says @ it’s all about you, when we disagree…or I want something that she doesn’t, ha! … that was the catalyst for this song..  but made a quadruple entendre about it! .. . It’s about all of you, me, our attitudes towards one another… it’s all around you, in plain sight…but mostly about my Lord, Jesus Christ!! Hope you like it! … a remix was in order, so that’s another reason I’m reposting it! 😎

I am asking you to be 
All the strength you have inside 
I am asking you to see 
The dreams that keep you up at night
All we need is an advocate 
Someone to believe that we can handle it 
All we need is a push for it 
I do believe that you have so much more to give 
In this life
I am calling out your name 
To beat the odds and break the chain 
I know the love you’ve got to give 
Will spread like fire through the wind
All we need is an advocate 
Someone to believe that we can handle it 
All we need is a push for it 
I do believe that you have so much more to give 
In this life

Someone To Believe ( Reaver/Conover)

*** NOTE June 2024: Generative AI is becoming amazingly powerful. Nothing against it. Just to avoid the confusion and embarrassment of finding ourselves praising and encouraging mindless algorithms, I believe it would be nice for us to always disclose its usage in our tracks. What do you think?  ***

*** Note Dec 2024: Alas, AI generated content that is not disclosed as such is now being posted at an alarming rate, sometimes multiple tracks in a single day from fake artists that even write down fake introductions. Please avoid reposting these deceptions, it only adds to the confusion.  ***

Hello, welcome to my page.

I've been making music since 1972. At the time, with Pedro Castro, we created the alternative rock band Petrus Castrus. 

The music I'm placing here is mostly from the home recordings of my ongoing projects and ideas. I created a few playlists (Inéditos) according to language (PO - Portuguese; EN - English; SP - Spanish; FR - French; IT - Italian), and also for concept albums (Três Jardins). There are two long tracks (Mediterrâneo and Isaías) for full concept albums. A playlist called Synergies gathers the collaboration projects with other musicians in the fantastic SoundCloud community.

Petrus Castrus edited records can be found on Spotify and Soundcloud. See the Facebook Petrus Castrus page for more details, including comments about the recordings uploaded here. 

We are both amateur musicians, i.e. music lovers. As for me, I'm just an electrical engineer with a master in AI that really loves creating music and use it to share ideas. That is why all tracks include lyrics or texts.

By the way I'm not interested in third-party offers to boost the number of plays. I like it as it is, and I've always declined such offers. Thanks anyway. 

I don't repost much, just some tracks that I find outstanding and with very few plays, so I can help them to get better known. I believe that repost parsimony also makes life easier for those who follow me.

Enjoy!
