Lone Sailor is the ninth track from Riveira Bailey's debut album "ALVUANA". A quieter piece, the narrator, or Riveira, embarks on their last voyage, the endless sea. But before they go, they remind you, in spite of the unknown that lies ahead - they'll be alright.

"Requiem by Robert Louis Stevenson was a massive influence for me for this song. What happens when you do meet ALVUANA? When you let the Waves, the tides of fate, wash you up? Perhaps this is a plea for self-imposed isolation? We're all lone sailors in the end."

The End of the Road is the eighth track from Riveira Bailey's debut album "ALVUANA". The folky song that paints the picture for the end of the world as it is, atop of a balcony as the narrator pleads with fate, not to let this time be the end. The song accumulates into a loud mantra, the only thing you can say in such a scenario - what can you do about it?

"This is another walk-in, of which I've had a few, but the last one was particularly the worst. Not a moment too soon, the sky had lit and it was already too late. It was bedtime for me and everyone else around me - it was the end of the road. The end of the world. You take the Mindless hyperreal world, combine with the aggression of Drama and the ideals of Indicators - you create a man-made asteroid. So all along, we were our doom..."

An Honest Man is the seventh song from Riveira Bailey's debut album "ALVUANA". Another throwback to classic rock with a 2000's alt-rock spin - it's a plead for acceptance as you are. To break away from masculinity, gender roles and patriarchal expectations - to be valued as you. But you won't. So deep down you just always stay wishing that you were the "honest man."

"What was comprised of ideas which evolved into the concept of a person - this "Honest Man" ended up being the most genuine reflection of myself. Is this really want I want for me? Is there a who I want to be?"

Start My Depression is the fourth song from Riveira Bailey's debut album "ALVUANA". A song, a true encapsulation of years of inbuilt trauma and rage due to parenting and generational trauma. It starts off quiet, reserved, and builds to a therapeutic yet angered resolution - finally understanding and making acceptance on what once was.

"I wrote this song to all those with any reserved and quiet parental issues, like my own. I'm grateful for my upbringing, but to say it was smooth sailing is quite the contrary... This one took years to finally build the courage to say outloud."

ALVUANA

MY NAME IS RIVEIRA, RIVEIRA BAILEY... the brainchild creation of Joshua Baptista, is a post-rock glam-renaissance conceptual character linked to the concept of ALVUANA - the end of a significant or meaningful period of time. Taking influences all from history, from Bowie to Black Midi, ALVUANA will be released soon after being worked on since aged 12 - 7 years ago. From poetry about the fragile masculinity and gender, the lone voyage we all must take, the intricacies of the hyperreal world - Riveira aims to challenge and evoke a more classic sense of song writing along with the most exuberant wardrobe you've ever seen. Just like their clothes, it all looks like a mismatch from afar, but put together - it all makes sense.
