Share with Me the Sun

"The Sun" by Portugal. The Man (Album: The Satanic Satanist, 2009)

“Again, it’s all 1987 to 1993 and that was so much a little kid’s mind working in all daylight during the summers and all darkness during the winters. That’s just total sci-fi. That’s so Fantastic Planet and Light Years and all the cartoons I watched when I was little. You end up just looking up at the stars for 18 hours a day. It really gets your imagination going. Everything that we did on this album lyrically was so much fun for me to do because it was so easy to step into when I was 10 years old.”

"Do You" by Portugal. The Man (Album: The Satanic Satanist, 2009)

“‘Do You’ is kind of me moving out of Alaska and coming back. I was afraid of everything. It’s not necessarily just talking about my fears. It’s everybody’s fears, just everything that we’ve seen after moving, everything that we’ve seen being in cities. It’s one of those songs where you sit back and think about everything you’ve done. That’s what it was to me, thinking about everything you’ve seen and everything you’ve done and if we’ll ever finish what we’re doing, get to where we’re going. And then, the bridge was so the little kid getting to come out again and write more about the winters and just how dark everything was. I was terrified of the dark. Until recently even.” 

Do You

"Everyone Is Golden" by Portugal. The Man (Album: The Satanic Satanist, 2009)

“That was one that I had written at home when I was sitting with my dad and in the verse, my dad thought I was saying ‘Everyone’s a soldier’ when I was writing ‘Everyone is golden.’ And that just really, for some reason, brought me back to that Pete Seeger stuff and obviously it was kind of written in the same time frame. But I decided to write it about when we lived in Healy, Alaska. I guess that was in ’93. Healy was another of those crazy Alaska towns where everyone knows each other and everyone is golden. It was also my first experience with death. I never knew anybody really close to me to die. And I happened to be living in this small town and going to school in one these schoolhouses where I guess there were eight other people in my grade, but kindergarten through high school was all in the same building and this kid, one of my friend’s best friends, died in an avalanche when they were playing in the snow. And I remember them coming to school and it just being so intense and the kid bawling and telling us the story. It’s just one of those things that happens that I think never really goes away.”

"Mornings" by Portugal. The Man (Album: The Satanic Satanist, 2009)

"This was kind of the bookend to the record -- obviously, being the last song on the record. But the first lines on the record are ‘Save me, I can’t be saved’ and then the last line on the record is ‘because I don’t believe.’ It kind of finishes the thought. It was Alaska. Everything we’ve gotten to be and everything we’ve gotten to go through, we’ve been lucky enough to have what we have."
