Absinto é uma elegia ao que resta depois da dor. Uma reflexão murmurada entre o cansaço e a esperança, onde Bráulio Vieira transforma o silêncio em voz, e a ferida em contemplação.

O texto bebe da amargura e da lucidez — como o próprio absinto, que queima mas desperta. Entre memórias de infância, ausência e rendição, o narrador reencontra no quotidiano — no pão, na água, no tempo que demora — o que de sagrado ainda persiste.

Com um arranjo discreto e atmosférico, Absinto respira devagar, deixando espaço para o ouvinte habitar cada palavra. É um poema sobre o fim e o recomeço; sobre a alma que, mesmo exausta, insiste em procurar “uma canção”.

Absinto Destilado de Dor

“Soul’s Rapture” opens with a slow, bluesy guitar riff — warm and slightly gritty, echoing loneliness and longing. A gentle Hammond organ hums underneath, setting a soulful foundation. The vocals enter softly, intimate and raw, with a tone reminiscent of early Gary Clark Jr. or Jeff Buckley, carrying both fragility and fire.

As the song unfolds, drums join with a steady heartbeat rhythm, and the bass line sways like a prayer, grounding the emotional build. By the first chorus, electric guitar harmonics shimmer, and the singer’s voice rises into full soulful power, evoking redemption and spiritual release.

In the bridge, a crying lead guitar solo weaves through gospel-like backing vocals — a conversation between pain and transcendence. The final chorus blooms into a rock-soul crescendo, where emotion takes flight: guitars soar, drums roll like thunder, and the singer belts the truth of divine love and human resilience.

The song fades on a slow, reverberating chord, leaving the listener in quiet reflection — the sound of faith rekindled, and a soul reborn through music.

Soul's Rapture

“Between Me and I / Entre Mim e Eu” is a song about the fragile space between who we are and who we think we are — a journey through solitude, aging, and the quiet beauty of rediscovering oneself.

Blending Portuguese introspection with English melancholy, the song moves between two emotional worlds: the raw intimacy of Jeff Buckley and the poetic soul of Zé Ramalho.
A blues-infused guitar carries the weight of reflection, while the vocals shift from whisper to fire, tracing the slow dance between pain and awakening.

This is not just a song — it’s a confession.
A mirror held to the soul, where love, memory, and faith collide.

Between Me And I

Acordar para a Solidão / Awakening to Solitude is a song about the quiet aftermath of loss — the way we build walls to survive, and the strange beauty of still being able to love.
It moves between Portuguese and English, between silence and storm.
A trembling soul over a slow-burning blues guitar, carried by a voice that breaks and heals in the same breath.

Acordar para a Solidão - Awakening to Solitude

“Tela / Screen” is a dialogue between two worlds — the human and the digital, the past and what’s yet to come.
A song about loneliness, reflection, and the quiet ache of living through a screen.
Two voices collide: one in Portuguese, one in English. One made of flesh, the other of code.
Together they search for meaning — and for the lost art of Dreaming.

Recorded in a minimalist soundscape of voice, guitar, and subtle electronic textures,
this piece drifts between melancholy and awakening — a whisper for those who still believe there’s a soul inside the machine.

Tela-Screen

“When Ready” is an ambient spoken–sung piece about stillness, breath, and rebirth.
It lives in the quiet space between exhaustion and awakening — where even silence has a pulse.

A meditation on the slow art of coming back to yourself, the song moves like dawn itself: hesitant, gentle, inevitable.
No rush, no demand — just the earth holding you until you rise.

The soundscape blends felt piano, soft wind textures, and ethereal vocals — a cinematic minimalism where breath becomes rhythm.
It’s both a lullaby and a resurrection — a reminder that healing has no schedule.

“Even in shadow, a light quietly blooms.
It is a breath of calm in a world that forgets to breathe.”

When the Sky Breathes

“Love Has Not Died / O Amor Não Morreu”
A song-poem that moves through silence and time — a dialogue between the Portuguese soul and the universal voice of love.
Between fado and whisper, between the sea and the heart, this piece speaks of love that never fades — it only hides within simple gestures: an honest word, a sudden embrace, a forgiving gaze.

Written in both Portuguese and English, this song is a tribute to hope — to the faith that love, whether human or divine, is never lost, only waiting to be remembered.

Love has not died — it lives quietly in all who still feel.

Love Has Not Died - O Amor Não Morreu

“O Vento Que o Trouxe / The Wind That Brought Him” — a bilingual fado poem about memory, loss, and the wind that carries love through time.
Sung in Portuguese and English, it weaves two voices like two souls meeting between past and present.
A soft lament — but also a hymn to what endures.

O que o Tempo Levou / The Wind That Brought Him

O Vento (The Wind) 🌬️
A bilingual journey through memory, loss, and longing — where Portuguese melancholy meets English introspection.
When he opened the door, the wind came in. It carried echoes of lives left behind, tears that filled empty rooms, and the bittersweet ache of saudade settling into forgotten corners.
Through intertwined voices and languages, this song explores:
The weight of what we leave behind
🌫️ Shadows found in dusty drawers
💔 Words that were never said
🌬️ The wind that remembers everything we've forgotten

Unseen Battles
A song for the quiet wars we all fight.

There are struggles no one sees — silent battles carried beneath calm eyes and tired smiles. “Unseen Battles” is an 80’s-inspired synth ballad about empathy, patience, and the strength of love that doesn’t need to fix, only to stand beside.

With lush synths, reverb-drenched drums, and vocals that echo through heart and memory, this piece moves between stillness and power — from whispered verses to soaring anthemic choruses.
It’s a song for those who’ve held on quietly, who’ve stood beside someone through the unseen storms, who understand that healing is not a race but a rhythm.

🕯️ For the ones who stay.
