I don’t know if I stay or if I go Let you know all these things Heart can’t control Oh oh oh oh I walk down the road The more I think the less I know Like a soul feeling a stranger in this world Oh oh oh oh I don’t need a thousand eyes To make me feel alright I found a better half of me Just looking through your eyes If you try I can believe With you I am complete Heart skips a beat I wanna know if I let this feeling grow You’ll be there to jump into my boat And sail away I don’t need a thousand eyes To make me feel alright I found a better half of me Just looking through your eyes If you try I can believe With you I am complete Heart skips a beat Papa papau Papa papa papa Papa papau I wanna know what you would say

I closed my eyes to think about Lomo, mooses, pink moustache I realized you were always on my mind Sweet you rock and roll my soul Love is punk the way it blows I just can’t hide the way I feel inside Love holds my hands And takes me everywhere Together rising above this mess I’m flying high in the shelter of your arms I think of you I dream out my fears I feel sparks I wish you were here I wonder if you will go with me to Mars Take your time move on to mine You got me feeling like a child I want to be as open as the sea Call me glue stick me to you I want to do what bunnies do You took the scene you became the one I need Love holds my hands And takes me everywhere Together rising above this mess I’m flying high in the shelter of your arms I think of you I dream out my fears I feel sparks I wish you were here I wonder if you will go with me to Mars

Underneath those faded jeans And the thruth find behind those eyes Was a girl with a thousand dreams Full of emotions hidden inside She always said that love is heavy It was made to be shared Although she had a heart of glass Does anyone cares for that? Start losing control Make your blue sky blush You’re the queen of your world Try to free your mind with daisy days And find your rainbow’s end Believe you’ll get there With a bag full of nothing And always one foot on the ground She locked her heart Dropped off the key And got herself lost in the sound With the future in her hands She never felt she was good enough Flying under false pretence She knew the weight of love and loss Start losing control Make your blue sky blush You’re the queen of your world Try to free your mind with daisy days And find your rainbow’s end Believe you’ll get there The more things start and seem to change The more she moves to break the chain Suddenly her lights were out Happiness recalls her a smile Start losing control Make your blue sky blush You’re the queen of your world Try to free your mind with daisy days And find your rainbow’s end Believe you’ll get there

Leaving You 02:41
Uhuuu... Uhuuu... Hey Mr. Pacman I’ve gotta tell you I have no time to play your games I’m taking back what’s left From all these things you said I cannot waste another day I’ve been chasing all of yours Now the rules have changed I don’t want to be another doll Soon you will zoom Around this place On the traps you lay The game is over now So fool Those plans I’ve made To spend my time with you I thought I meant something and more to you Now you can deal with the shame Ah ah ah... Cause I’m leaving you Hey Mr. Pacman You go in circles Go round and round in the same mistakes You haven’t scored in my heart Got stuck inside the box Now I won’t take another blame Don’t regret the mess you made Everything you do is coming back to you You know that life is a maze You’re so immature Your ghost is hunting you So fool Those plans I’ve made To spend my time with you I thought I meant something and more to you Now you can deal with the shame Ah ah ah... Cause I’m leaving you

NEW ADVENTURES IN POP 022

Nat De Abreu and Luna May met on a social network in 2011, and decided that a country as big as Brazil shouldn’t be an obstacle for them to meet and begin making music. In that first meeting, they made “Heart Skips a Beat”, the song that opens their Elefant Records debut, and which they recorded a video for themselves. The video lets us in on all of the duo’s peculiarities: an imaginary world, taken from a Todd Solondz movie, spontaneity and unpredictability, playful pop, recycled and hand-made instruments, unusual clothes that seem to be taken out of a fable, and infinite smiles. “Love Holds My Hands” is like Pascal Comelade was pushed back toward childhood by Regina Spektor or Kimya Dawson, as if COCO ROSIE had finally discovered that toys are for playing and having fun, not experimenting. A marvelous chorus, which once again demonstrates this duo’s incomparable capacity to makes songs that knock the wind out of us. “Rainbow’s End” continues to use love as an engine for excitement and happiness, and it’s yet another one of those solid songs that you just can’t resist singing at the top of your lungs, with the duo accentuating the contrasting play of their voices, taking it to sublime levels. To close, “Leaving You” uses Pacman as a metaphor to explain growing up, leaving childhood behind, acquiring responsibilities, with truly marvelous lyrics which could have worked perfectly as the music for the end of “Toy Story 3”, and which defines them as perfect composers of unforgettable pop melodies. They are without a doubt a band to watch, from a country that promises big news soon, thanks to new recording technologies.

“While he was writing his own songs, she was writing poetry. In love with photography, she created her stories while he drew his thoughts on the walls of his room. He sang enclosed in a small closet and she, alone, played midnight concerts on the stairs of the building where she lived. She played the imaginary drums while he made his own instruments… She made very different things all the same and the same things very different… until they met and realized that together they could be one, but double. Together now, they are two people, two personalities, two voices, and, more than that, a shared dream: *YouDoMeToo*”
