Feiticeira

“Some songs of the heat and of waking before dawn, others of the rain and of wanting to sleep until the Sun goes down. Recorded at home with all the love I had to give them.”
Saudades

Written and recorded between Caldas da Rainha, Lisbon, Paderne, Loulé and Porto, this song is a kind of unintended map of the geographical and emotional remix I have lived through over the last two years.
It was born from a daily creation challenge suggested by MJ, more than a year ago. On the 26th day of the second round of that challenge, in Alex’s old house in Martim Moniz, the first sketch of this song appeared.
It is strange and beautiful how something so intensely personal can have been touched, directly or indirectly, by so many hands.
