Waters ii

Truth’s not a stone, it’s built with fire,
Like love, like thought, climbing higher.
We’re choking now on all their lies,
Pressed to the wall but we won’t hide.

Keep it steady, keep it real,
Quiet strength is how we heal.

The doors will open,
If we stand unbroken.
No chains can hold us down tonight.
The doors will open,
When we’ve spoken,
The silence shatters into light.

They paint the air with empty words,
But we still sing, we still are heard.
Cornered hearts against the stone,
Together we are not alone.

Keep it steady, keep it real,
Quiet strength is how we heal.

The doors will open,
If we stand unbroken.
No chains can hold us down tonight.
The doors will open,
When we’ve spoken,
The silence shatters into light.

Hold the line with calm defiance,
Truth is born through our alliance.
Every wall will crack, will fall,
When we rise, we rise for all.

The doors will open,
If we stand unbroken.
No chains can hold us down tonight.
The doors will open,
When we’ve spoken,
The silence shatters into light.

We build it, stone by stone—
Love, truth, mind, our own.
The doors will open wide.

Back to My Life (80’s Rock Version)

PT (release):
“Back to My Life (80’s Rock Version)” é a releitura em rock da canção autoral “Baby Volta”, composta por mim em parceria com dois coautores. A original nasceu no forró pisadinha — batida dançante e repetição hipnótica — e aqui ganha estética arena rock: bateria com reverb de sala, guitarras com chorus/delay, baixo firme em colcheias e synths de sabor analógico. O resultado mantém o gancho melódico e a intenção emocional da letra, mas veste tudo com energia oitentista e clima de estrada.
Curiosidade: este é o ponto de partida da minha série de releituras rock para composições sertanejas — uma conversa com a tradição brasileira de versões que bandas como Calcinha Preta popularizaram ao trazer, em português, hits internacionais dos anos 80. Quando há versão em inglês, a adaptação parte do original em português e usa IA como apoio para preservar sentido, prosódia e métrica. Ideal para playlists de 80’s rock, alt-pop/rock e soft rock.

EN (press blurb):
“Back to My Life (80’s Rock Version)” reimagines my original “Baby Volta”—born in the Brazilian pisadinha groove—through an 80’s arena-rock lens. Think room-reverb drums, chorus-kissed guitars, steady eighth-note bass, and analog-tinged synths, all serving the same melodic hook and emotional core of the Portuguese lyric. This track kicked off my ongoing project of rock reinterpretations of sertanejo originals, echoing Brazil’s long tradition of adaptations—popularized by bands like Calcinha Preta, known for Portuguese versions of 80’s international hits. Where an English take exists, it’s adapted from the Portuguese master with AI-assisted fidelity to meaning, prosody, and phrasing. Built for 80’s rock, alt-pop/rock, and soft-rock playlists.
