“Novum In-Ception?” is a kind of Apocalyptic-Ballad with suggestive beats and global sounds. The song is about the exploitation of our planet, the dualities of the human race with our fears, hate and meaningless violence but yet, with a glint of hope at the end of the song.

Novum  In - Ception?

This song is an electric-jazz ballad, with a foundation of live acoustic Udu and loops - in contrast with melodic wordless vocalised FX, electronic sounds and sweeping guitar textures from the deep ocean. The song reflects how life starts and where it will all end... A farewell to our nearest and dearest loved ones that we have lost, as well as a tribute to the eternal sea itself. Bathe in the waters....

El mar

A song about the power of the human body, unconditionally love and motherhood. 

Your breath is my breath 
Music: Roberto Noel, Paula Burenstrand
Lyrics: Paula Burenstrand
 
You came into my life and opened up my world and something happened. No doubt about it from that day I would do anything. You're my everything my laugh, my tears, my dreams, my deepest fears. 
Proud to call you my own. 
 
I'll always be there for you sorry for the times I didn't do enough. I can not live without you tried my best to do it all 
You're my everything my sun, my moon, my sky, my universe. 
Proud to call you my own. 
 
Your breath is my breath
You move me, you saved me.
You give life meaning never stop believing.
 
I love your laugh, to be, to walk, to talk with you, I see myself in you. You're smart, intelligent it's hard to keep it up with you. You're my everything my heart, my bones, my hands, my feet, my shoulders. 
Proud to call you my own. 
 
I would give my life to set you free know you can beat the demons. You're so strong and precious, hate to see you cry to feel your pain. You're my everything my shore, my rock, my ocean and my river. 
Proud to call you my own.

Your Breath Is My Breath

This song is about physical pain and how it takes hold  of both body and mind.

Music: Roberto Noel, Neto Oliveira, Paula Burenstrand
Lyrics: Paula Burenstrand
 
In a vacuity of pain

I can recall to many times
ache is all over blocking my eyes.
I can't control it, I can't forget it, I can't deceive it.
 
Devil takes place in my head 
Sounds explode in my brain
Devil takes hold of my mind
Lights explode makes me blind
In a vacuity of pain 
 
Walking around in a daze 
People are strange lost in the maze.
I can't control it, I can't forgive it, I can't replace it.
 
Devil takes place in my head 
Sounds explode in my brain
Devil takes hold of my mind
Lights explode makes me blind
 
Can't work, can't sleep, can't think, can barely talk, ache eats me up. Can't see, can't be, can't flee but hear crystal clear, please wake me up.

In a vacuity of pain

This song is about longing and waiting for someone you never met or somehow lost.

Someday 
Music: Roberto Noel, Paula Burenstrand Lyrics: Paula Burenstrand

Lying here in silence 
Searching for answers 
The night feel so long and we're far, far apart and I wonder where you are, are you dreaming of me?
 
My dreams are listening
Waiting for answers
The days seems longer than the day before are you wondering where I am, I'm yearning for you. 
Don't be afraid, you"ll come back, God will see us through, someday.
 
The silence is speaking
Longing for answers
The nights seems longer than the night before are you wondering where I am, I'm yearning for you. 
Don't be afraid, you"ll come back, God will see us through, someday.
 
Someday, someday.
