Midnight, and there's people outside Drinking, eating, thinking and perhaps kissing And I can't talk to anyone I can't see anyone My friends live in the other side of town My lovers never used to see me I just walk alone I just sing alone The world is so small, we all know each other Why being so sad when the streets are calling you? Take my hand, let's get some good time Or maybe time to relief Time to relief... I just wanna see the people I love I just wanna be with people I love I just wanna play with who I love I just wanna sing about fraternal love

I finally walk round here And it's hard not to see Here everybody is satisfied With all their dirty minds Because you need to live fast So don't give a fuck about your past Or is this paradise? Am I in paradise? Maybe this is real life Be the rebel of your family Then try to fill that empty space Because some things run away from your brain And sometimes you can't hide those stains Yeah, you need to live fast So they think you're the best Or is this paradise? Am I in paradise? Maybe this is real life

You say everything around you is annoying But in these days, your life has been a computer You wanna be the first to say You wanna be the first to see Are you inside the monster? Are you next to despair? You thought you were being free You thought it was your glory But you can't face the pain You can't feel like home Aligned in a plastic world You're a bad rhyme Can't you see you're getting old? Are they dreaming? Then dream! Are they lying? Then lie! Are they stoned? Then get high! 'Cause if you were pure, they would be If you were mine, they would've already been...

about

NBRD006

Três faixas dissecando a jornada inicial de um jovem na vida noturna, percorrendo êxtase emocional, felicidade, hipocrisia, raiva e (des)ilusão.

"...Um convite a introspecção e auto-análise, que no decorrer das músicas nos desperta a vontade de cair na estrada da vida, aproveitando o melhor que ela pode oferecer."
- Lúcio Rogério (Bandas de Garagem/UOL)

--------------------------------------

Three tracks dissecting a youngster’s initial journey into nightlife, going through emotional ecstasy, happiness, hypocrisy, anger and delusion. The “Distant Minutes” single explores the densest side of Luan Bates’ sound, in contrast to the soft-rock orientation of the “Listen Up, Mates” EP, released last year.

"...An invitation to introspection and self-examination that throughout the songs brings about a desire to hit life's road, taking the best things it can offer."
- Lúcio Rogério (Bandas de Garagem/UOL)
