Artist picture
An eclectic mixture of rock, pop, punk and ska. Some songs, who even knows? A solo artist trying to get his music out there.
Just a one-man band here, a Brazilian with a Scottish/English/American accent living in Switzerland. Weird, huh? It gets even weirder when you learn I have a PhD in Particle Physics... hey, Brian May has one now too! The trumpet solo in Lazy and 2 trumpet tracks in Lost in Time were recorded by Peter from www.trumpetracks.com. The whistling in Will I? was recorded by Raul Nicolau. My mum has a spoken cameo in Lazy. All the other instruments and vocals were played/sung by me.

Story behind the song
I wanted something with a bit of rhythm, inspired by ax music artists such as Daniela Mercury and Banda Eva. The lyrics... I can't quite remember why I chose this topic, when I wrote the chorus it originally said "Darling, come back to me". I think it's a lot better now.
Lyrics
I grew up in this little town Nearly nobody else around Not much to be done there Except maybe sit and stare At all the people walking Going about their life and talking About everyday things And what the future brings Don't want to end my days here I want to get out of here Just want to be someone and Do something with my life I Don't want to be just one more Face in the crowd I won't stand for it So I left that town behind With one thought in my mind I'd make it big someday Nothing'd get in my way I knew it would take a while I'd hear many a denial These things take time you know Not gonna give up, no I'd eventually get there It took a while but I'm here I got my wish now I'll take care What I wish for next...
