Noch da - noch stark

Fading Silence is my first official album, released under the name Paulo Oliveira with the independent label PO&ElectronicBox.
It is an intimate work, where every track reflects deep emotions and moments from my life.

This album is especially dedicated to my late wife, Ana Cristina, my greatest inspiration and life companion. Every sound carries her memory, my love, and the silence that remains.

With influences from Progressive Metal, Atmospheric Rock, and experimental music, Fading Silence takes you on a journey through melody, heaviness, and atmosphere.

Thank you for listening 🙏
For now, available only here on SoundCloud.

Lyrics 

You said we were everything we needed to be
We held the key together
We spoke in tender words
All we needed was to breathe
You touched the hidden part of me
Cristina, you still remain

Did you ever think a moment could mean this much?
Did you ever dream that love could bleed so true?
I still carry the weight, I still hold the flame
Even when silence tears me in two
Forever bound, forever near
Always with me

You dreamed a fragile lie
I heard the fracture break
Your absence filled the sky
My silence turned to ache
No faith in love remains
Still, your fire calls my name

Did you ever think a moment could mean this much?
Did you ever dream that love could bleed so true?
I still carry the weight, I still hold the flame
Even when silence tears me in two
Forever bound, forever near
Always with me

We needed more time
Still so many things to say
Lost in time forever
Searching for a gateway
Through broken skies, I still believe
Cristina  always with me

Always with me…
Always with me…
Forever, Cristina…
Always with me.

Always With Me

LYRICS

Please slow down
Take a break, turn off your phone
Let it go
Baskets of leaves, blankets of snow
Come to rest
Catch a breath and just relax
Steal a car
Take a ride and we’ll go far

And the traffic lights
And the building sites
And the subway rides
And the bits and bytes 
Let it go
Be slow
Take your time

Settle down
Have a drink and hang around 
No more thrills
Bottles of pills beyond the hills
Take a pause
No drum beat and no applause
Grab a seat
In this world of make-believe

Hide & Seek

Hide and Seek

[RELEASE SEPTEMBER 11TH]

Treaded in the waters as the sun was setting down behind the coastline
I was only seventeen and didn’t know what I was gonna find
Waited for an answer while we burned like fires in the night

Gloria, you knew I had to leave
'cause all I need is somewhere I'll be free

Embedded in the smalltown folk there’s lessons never learned by leaving home
(For a lifetime on the road)
Aching in my bitter bones the faults I seek out even though I’ve won
(Throwing all first stones)

But miracles won’t happen here again, the tide is rushing in

Gloria, you knew I had to leave
'cause all I need is somewhere I'll be free

Don’t you know what’s on my mind
Can’t you see it in my eyes
Soon we’ll be down by the wayside
Why don’t we seek it out

Gloria, you knew I had to leave
'cause all I need is somewhere I'll be free
