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
"Cheer me up with words I recognize" Quotes she would knit, mending fractured time Outside, a raging afternoon breaks through the sunlight Lurking, ticking with time "Come rescue me from my point of view" Slowly. - 'Cause when we got nowhere to go We're vulnerable to "I've been doing alright" Then spend a lifetime covering Things we believe We still have reasons to hide. "Slowly I've grown to hate your smile" And to depend on "It's a different day, tomorrow" And cut down demands of hangin' around just killing time Now every phrase he tries to say sounds like a headline Aging in front of her eyes "Come rescue me from your sympathy" Slowly. And now we've got nowhere to go So what is wrong with "I've been doing alright"? These pending lives just won't begin To cut the stream Of thoughts we'd like to rewrite Like "Slowly I've grown to hate your smile" "Well, if we got nowhere to go, Keep hanging on to 'I've been doing alright' ". Just killing life and disbelief With cheap poetry and friendly bottles of wine "Slowly, I've learned how to stand your smile" The hours seem to breed Things that we can not defeat In the fiction we would like to live Made up quotes that feed your ear With the things you'd like to hear When the only place you'd like to be Is too far away So far away from here
