   About Blue Afternoon
Blue Afternoon was born of the will of Guilherme Barrella to write sad songs in the style of some of his great idols, such as Tim Hardin, Leonard Cohen, Lambchop and Tindersticks, but it took some time to find the ideal partners to take the project ahead. Guilherme started to transform his ideas into songs, with a leading acoustic guitar and instruments as harmonica and cello following his melancholic voice.

Some years later, Blue Afternoon recorded Folxploitation, with the arrangements that Guilherme always imagined for his songs. In tuning with bands as Black Heart Procession and Smog, the sound of Blue Afternoon is simple and elaborated at the same time. Calm songs, where silence matters as much as each sound, fragile melodies, serious and moved vocals, delicate and intense arrangements, desolate and poetical lyrics, a sad mood and equal doses of folk, avant-rock, soul and country make of Blue Afternoon an unique band.

In late 2004, Blue Afternoon released Radio Sessions, an album comprised of two separate radio sessions, one acoustic and one electric. Guilherme is now recording his new album Countrypolitan, to be released in summer 2006.

Guilherme is also a member of the bands Vurla, Open Field, Maison, Ocean Pacific and occasionally plays with Open Field Church, Prelinger Archives and Tony da Gatorra. He runs the Peligro mailorder and the Open Field and ¡Maldita Sea! record labels.

Nunca estamos sós, é verdade.
É bom saber que temos amigos em quem podemos confiar.
Pessoas que nos apoiam e nos acolhem com tanto carinho.
E comigo estão sempre os amigos, dando-me palavras de conforto e ânimo.
Sou grato a Deus por ter conhecido tantas pessoas boas, de coração aberto e firmes.
Quero agradecer a você por tudo.
Em especial por me incluir em sua rede de amigos
e compartilhar seus momentos
Disponha da minha amizade sincera.
Meu eterno agradecimento. Fabio Thomaz

"CRESCENT OF DREAMS"
 
 
Crescent of my dreams
Enrapture me in stillness
Place your hand upon my heart
 
While I'm sleeping
release me from dreaming
Dig deeply into my being
Teach me the game of throwing pearls into the sky
 
The night sky dissolves
into the blossom of the dawn
This is the signature of stillness
written in the shifting current of one soul
 
We walk the bridge of water
stretching horizon to horizon
Let me hold your light
as though it were the only jewel in my box of secrets
 
I have become fuel
A lover among lovers
Wheels turning within the wheel behind the sky
