Ethereal is finally out now. Enjoy it!

Attention: Ethereal is a very important event in our lives! I'm really happy to have our first song finally released. Thou, I must confess it wouldn't be the same thing if The Autist had not the needed support of all our friends out there who are already part of our world. I'd like to specially thank some very important individuals that helped conceiving the band as it came to be and made this first song a possibility:

First we got Cátia Alves; a very talented and hard working musician who worked along with me on the composition of Ethereal's vocal lines by lending The Autist her unique voice. It was an amazing time and opportunity to be working with her since I experienced the most intense artistic chemistry ever with her. I gotta say that all her efforts to be a part of Ethereal - and all the other songs we wrote - won't ever be forgotten. There is so much left to say... but hopefully and on a near future, it is of my greatest desire to be sharing some serious projects with her. Thank you so much for everything.

To mister João Dourado - a.k.a. the golden boy - who gently spent some time mixing and mastering Ethereal with so much care. I know this boy for about 5 years now since my previous project - Darkside of Innocence - shared some stages with Antichton (in which Dourado is the actual drummer and composer) on the past and all I can say is that I still am fond of João's capacities and creativity regarding the musical world. It was an amazing time and sincerily I wish that our ways won't take us apart. Thank you. Thank you. 

Thanks to Emidio from Almada Estudios which actively gave us such a postive moral to take us where we are now - I know we still have a very long road. We're glad to be rehearsing on his studios and I expect you all folks with bands and projects give him a shot because there is no other place you should be praticing your music. More news soon! 

Thanks to Tiago F. Lopes for making a wonderful videoclip which will surely make us reach top flights. It really didn't disappoint. There's already a new clip on thought, so expect something big from The Autist and mister Tiago.

Thanks to all my band mates from the bottom of my heart; Rodrigo Louraço, Yumeki Su, João Prim, Diogo Bentes and Diogo belo for believing in my will to make music. They are for sure the band of my dreams. 

Thanks to our Label Music in My Soul for believing in our dreams. 

Last but not least, thanks to all the other people involved in The Autist music. Please do remember that you are very important to us. Thank you so much. See you soon!

Lyrics:

A  shadowed past reveals my glorious kingdom 
The path to Arcadia unfolds at last

There lies hidden the forbidden jar
That holds the tears the moon has wept 
As I dissolve among the sands of time
This ocean engulfs me in a sea of lust

It's my secret place of sin
Where all my fantasies become real...   

I am at the end of the world x2
I am Ethereal 

For only the wildest dreamer 
Dares to drown within these waves 
She bears with care the forbidden jar
That holds the tears the moon has wept 

It's my secret place of sin
Where all my fantasies become real...   

I am at the end of the world x2
I am Ethereal

Pandora's Curse is a story about a mystical figure the band adapted for its ideology. Pandora is a demigoddess and also a metaphor for the perfection we human beings seek to achieve throuhgout our lives such as the search for eternal love. However with it also comes the fear of rejection and the coldness of being apart from the things we love. 

The concept also mixes the theory that we're all part of stars and henceforth stardust particles. It's the quantum love that describes the entanglement of matter. The song then tells the story of a sun which is dying and how the sun-adorer is in total despair to get this sun to live again despite the fact there is an unberable chaos that prevents him from doing so. The box symbolises the mistery/chaos that lies within it. Once opened, the box unleashed the things the narrator sought but also the things he didn't...

Lyrics:

How many times I wished to return?
So much left to do - a wishful fate undone.
It's just that sometimes a single instant can lead you astray
To be a victim of ignorance...

Time devours everything in its pace,
And I lost myself long ago dreaming you wouldn't fade. 

Let me go back to live in that long gone night,
Embrace me in your arms far away from destiny's sight.

Oh coldest sun why won't you die?
Why don't you break this curse and become mine?  
Little sun don't let me cry...
Why don't you break this curse and become mine?  

Some memories heave a lullaby of dread, 
Others flicker lively untill our last breath.

It's just that sometimes a single instant can lead you astray
To be a victim of ignorance...

May the light that lurks deep within this self be gone 
I  gaze upon the stars as they dance with gladness
Extinguished by the torch of your endless darkness.

And as the shadows engulf us in madness...
Let me go back to live in that long gone night,
Embrace me in your arms far away from destiny's sight.

Let me go back to live in that long gone night,
Embrace me in your arms far away from destiny's sight.

Oh coldest sun why won't you die?
Why don't you break this curse and become mine?  
Little sun don't let me cry...
Why don't you break this curse and become mine?  

Pandora, my curse is bearing the memory 
That once you gave me everything
 Pandora, my curse is bearing the memory 
That once you gave me everything

Oh coldest sun why won't you die?
Why don't you break this curse and become mine?  
Little sun don't let me cry...
Why don't you break this curse and become mine?
