Lyrics:
Boa noite povoado
Boa noite povo fiel
Para todos eu canto fado
A moda de São Miguel

Eu sinto tanta alegria
Vem de meu povo contente
Não deixes passar o dia
Vamos, vamos minha gente

Dança e brinca meu irmão
Dança que eu quero ver
Não deixes para amanhã
O que hoje podem fazer

Aprenda para ti para novo
Aparece o seu tio casado
Gosto de ver meu povo
Bailado bem ferrado

Você diga mais uma vez
Que essa fado nos pertence
É do povo Portugues
É do povo Micaelense

Alegria
Vem comigo

Bailinho de São Miguel

LYRICS:

So you've taken a chance and it's all up in the air
In the circumstances, it's there the truth is revealed
The future is not yet clear
Paralyzed by the fear
Maybe my dear
This could be your year

Understand
What it's like to start again

You can't deny that sometimes it's hard to see
The old ways falling apart until nothing else remains
Trying the best that you can
Learning from all your mistakes
Giving it one more chance
To catch a break

Understand
What it's like to start again

Don't you wait
Don't hesitate
It's not too late

Understand
What it's like to start again
Understand
What it's like to reach an end

Understand

The light, the light
The light you got inside
Will never die
Oh no, it will never die
You got it right, alright
The lighthouse of your mind
is shining bright, so bright
Shining through the night

I was feeling stuck in a grind
You know that feeling when good and bad is combined

The light, the light
The light you got inside
Will never die
Oh no, it will never die
You got it right, alright
The lighthouse of your mind
is shining bright, so bright
Shining through the night

I'm leaving all those worries behind
Yes I'm leaving all that fear behind
To travel through space and time
And expand this jaded mind

The light, the light
The light you got inside
Will never die
Oh no, it will never die
You got it right, alright
The lighthouse of your mind
is shining bright, so bright
Shining through the night

We ain’t leaving anyone behind
And who knows what we might find
As we travel through space and time
To explore this beautiful mind, beautiful mind

The light, the light
The light you got inside
Will never die
Oh no, it will never die
You got it right, alright
The lighthouse of your mind
is shining bright, so bright
Shining through the night

JIMMY L. DIAS, BANDLEADER OF PSYCHEDELIC ROCK GROUP THE LOVE DIMENSION RETURNS TO A NEW DIRECTION FOR SOLO PROJECT “DIVIDED / STATES”

A time capsule of musical memory—a cardboard box of demo tapes stored away for more than two decades. Slipped from mind until rediscovered, the music on the tapes reflected Jimmy L. Dias’ early work in punk bands in Boston. Stylistically far from Jimmy’s psychedelic recordings, the music, recorded in the 90s, reflected early influences on Jimmy’s work—from The Velvet Underground to Jonathan Richman, Sex Pistols to Joy Division, Nirvana to Green Day—bringing together disparate streams of punk from its birth in the 70s to its diversification in the 80s to the “pop punk” styles of the 90s. Taking the stand-out tracks, Jimmy began to rework them and found that a lyrical theme emerged from those 12 songs that captured the spirit of division and disunity in the country following the 2016 election. As the revised tracks coalesced into their final versions, it became clear that the politically and ideologically “divided states” reflected deep separations within individuals who are yearning and struggling to find a path to wholeness. Divided / States—Jimmy’s first solo album drops on October 3, 2018 at Brick and Mortar Music Hall in San Francisco.
