STRAIN UNDER STREETS - PANDEMIC - ESCARLATINA OBSESSIVA
I tried,
Searched into memories
Something to elude me,
To make me forget
Were real
The youth beliefs
In silent pains
And hopes
That were vain,
But it's always in vain
One morning I may dream
I wake and I'm still young,
But it's no use,
'Cause there's a strain,
Constantly,
Under the feet,
Bellow the meat,
Runnig under paved streets,
Between the commas on the cheeks,
On the smiles
That make my faith despond
When I'm on the dusty paved street
There may be joy in this world
I see the sun still burns
Despite the grass will parch
There may be joy in this world
I see a smile that shines
Despite the gloom will grow
There may be hope in this world
I see the sun, it needs to burn
For the leaf may parch and fall
For the tide can drown us all
How can curtains
Have shades of sky
If when they fall
It's a cruel show?
There may be joy in this world
I see the sun still burns
Despite the grass will parch
There may be faith in this world
I see a heart that shines
Despite the gloom that grows
There may be hope in this world
I see the sun, it needs to burn
For the men may parch and fall
For the tide can drown us all
How can curtains
Have shades of sky
If when they fall
It's a cruel show?
Eyes, shades of sky
Soul, color of blood

Comé maltinha, prontos para mais um tema do nosso 1º EP "SEMENTES DA DESORDEM"?
Já podem escutar o revisitado tema "BAR DA GNR", tema nº 2 do EP e que precede às "GUITARRAS DE GUERRA". Este tema já com alguns anitos lavou a cara e foi gravado no inicio de 2009 com novos arranjos, mantendo no entanto todo o carisma que vez dele um dos hinos dos ERVAS DANINHAS. Durante 20 dias, mais ou menos, vão poder entrar no "BAR DA GNR" e buer uma cervejola e morfar uma entremeada e até mesmo apanhar uma carraspana sem ficarem de cana... Dêm gás no volume e acordem os vizinhos... pelo menos aqueles que dormem a sesta ao Domingo à tarde. O "BAR DA GNR" contou com a presença de dois convidados muito especiais, foram eles o Igor e o Arroja dos SHIVERS, que por entre copos de binho e assaltos à sacristia ainda tiveram tempo para uma ida à Sela... ops, desculpem o erro... uma ida à cela.
Um grande abraço para eles e um grande abraço para todos vocês!
