about

The self-titled single and video, features popular Brazilian singer Rael on the chorus. Over a driving bossa piano line and percussive kicks and snares, the song explores themes of building cross-cultural bridges, as well as a new found sense of home, in a world where people are being trapped into small boxes despite the fact that humans are more mobile than ever.

lyrics

Minha casa e onde eu me sinto bem
Onde eu posso ficar
Se tiver canção, meu lugar e lá
Amor no coração, meu lugar e lá
Meu lugar e lá, meu lugar e lá
Meu lugar e lá, meu lugar e lá

You see I never had a home
That's why this whole planet I roam
Grown with every step, I've never seen a truth written in stone
I'm prone to hit the microphone
And make you naviguate away from your comfort zone
I had to step out of my own
For these words to break out the ozone
And see this art full blown
Now we're more than freinds
Together we're a means to an end
Then again, hear the end of an era
Now let us free each other from our cages
And let this sound last through the ages
And blast through, couragous
Gotta see these changes
And in order to look ahead, we're resurrecting all forgotten pages
Give my respect due to an honnest few
You wanted something new?
Let me remind you that the world is you
I don't know where I'm from but here's where I'm at
Place me where you wish and observe me adapt

Minha casa e onde eu me sinto bem
Onde eu posso ficar
Se tiver canção, meu lugar e lá
Amor no coração, meu lugar e lá

The World is here, every step you take has an influence
I've been through it and it motivates continuance
We got dreams but they pump fear to overcast them
They build walls but we got bridges that overpass them
Who are they to paint a picture so perfect?
We see humanity in it's diversity now is it worth it
To beleive in the path that's being laid out
Only to wake up when your last sunset fades out?
The planet's yours to explore
You've never seen your neighbour yet he's living right next door
And trust that you got more in common that they told you
Now return all that nonsense that they sold you
Talking about unity, it's hard to motivate us
Earth is feeling the divide but who's at fault like San Andreas
Morning haze, social media invades us
That's like looking for inner peace on the streets of Vegas
Can't look away when the truth infuriates us
But negativity will never really liberate us
Somehow we ought to keep some more good news on our radars
But maybe knowing out potential is what we're afraid of
Life can amaze us, so much pollution
We point out all the issues but can we be the solution?
Sometimes I feel the closest, sometimes I feel the farthest
I don't know where I started but home is where my heart is

Minha casa e onde eu me sinto bem
Onde eu posso ficar
Se tiver cançao, meu lugar e lá
Amor no coraçao, meu lugar e lá
Meu lugar e lá, meu lugar e lá
Meu lugar e lá, meu lugar e lá
Onde eu me sinta bem!

Yea yea yea yeah hey
Wooh wooh wooh wooh hooo
Onde me sinta bem
Onde eu me sinto...
