One-man rock band from Brazil.
I’ve dedicated 10 of my 25 years of life to a band called The Invisibles. During that period of time, we independently released two albums and one ep, recorded more than 50 songs that traveled good portions of the Earth, got rave reviews from zines and magazines we respect, played with bands we really admire (like Sepultura and Samiam), went to cities and people that we never thought we would met. And when my will of making music grew bigger than the hability of those four people getting together in a practicing room, the end of the Invisibles marked, mainly, the beginning of Driving Music. And that’s where we meet, you and I, right now. The five songs that accompany this note are the result of six months of lonely work, but that find in said loneliness the possibility of full growth. I’ve produced these five songs at home, with a lot of freedom and zero inhibitions. The drums were sequenced using Reason SoundFactory and I recorded all the other instruments with little technology. Songs that combine the urgency of punk rock (Descendents, Jawbreaker, Face to Face) with the lighthearted glow of 90s alternative rock (Sugar, Lemonheads, Smoking Popes) and the melodic structure of tradition singer/songwriters (Paul Westerberg, Bruce Springsteen, Elvis Costello). Small conversations sewned together with simple melodies, with no other pretension besides being a nice company for a little while. While new musical adventures are usually attached to the “I’m finally making the music I always wanted to make” speech, I’d rather say this is the music I want to make right now. Songs that are happy to be just songs the biggest possible reason for any band to exist. Songs that are free to take me wherever they want to go. And, more than anything else, songs about today. This is my life. These are my impressions of the world. This is what I have to say. This is Driving Music.

Lyrics
The taste of autumn nights feels like the city sliding down my veins 'Cause I've been working for the longest time here On the first draft of a better life for you and me So let's walk down the streets once captured in a distant song They are vices we can now let go To sail away with the irony we have left And if there's no rhyme you know about the place I'm calling home I'm still myself I am trying not to break your heart I am trying not to break your heart I am trying not to let these lonely lights Gleam all night Holding back a brand new day 'Cause these are hurried times - too fast for us to try and understand. And even if the minutes feel like lifetimes It is still not slow enough, not how it should be. So let's scrape out these borrowed lines that pet this pain of mine Or just fake a double suicide Then laugh it away, so hard it feels like a sin And when there's no rhyme I know that could make this feel like home I find myself Here just trying not to break your heart I am trying not to break your heart I am trying not to make these lines a sign That our lives Might be reaching a dead end I'm just trying not to break your heart If there's no life you know in the place I'm calling home See there is no such lie As an unfamiliar sky If there's no rhyme I know in the place you call your own All I need is some time And a world to redefine Like the poet searching through the dark, with the guts it takes to start a start, for the word that might just be the spark to a verse that's doomed to fall apart I'm here trying not to break, just trying not to break your heart
