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!...

Going Viral (sang over Sounds M "Flashback" track)

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!

*** UPDATE May 2025. Good news. The SC contractual terms have now been corrected, and our music will no longer be used for AI training. NOTE April 2025: It just came to my attention that, unless we do a separate contract, all our uploaded music in SC can be freely used for AI training. This is written down in the legal section, under the licensing paragraphs. What can (should) we do to change that? *** 

*** 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, saying how much they love music that comes from the heart. Please avoid reposting these deceptions, it only adds to the confusion.  And it encourages the algorithms to give them preference. ***

*** 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?  ***
