Blankets 05:53
We dream so much, we can't We can't stay away from each other Everyone knows that we are eternal lovers trying to live with each craze We dream so much, we can't We can't stay away from each other Everyone knows that we are eternal lovers trying to live with each craze (2x) I'm going your home to get away from people who judge us Watching TV on the room holed up in soft blankets (4x) I feel your smell (3x) in my body (4x)

You will never read this poem I must have written it so long time and so long time you have has not given a damn I must be a dumb even I was never good enough (2X) in hundred times I might always wait at your window Crying out for a million times Waiting for your shine I known that I was never good enough for you Never good enough (3x) for, for you

These days taught me to dream high Never give up and always try Never let go or say goodbye (2x) goodbye (3x) Never let go or say... Always be confident and never hesitate there will always be a fate Just believe in a new start Always be confident and never hesitate there will always be a fate Just believe (3x) in a new start These days taught me That when there is darkness For sure dawn will come soon soon These days taught me That when there is darkness if I have done something wrong admit it and be proud that I have learned if I have done something wrong admit it and be proud that I have learned I have learned! (2x)

Pale Clouds 04:58
When I wake up your eyes will pounce on me One more day for us We are like pale clouds Raining feelings by the roads by the roads We will be in the air you can feel the heat in my arms? We will be in the air you can feel the heat in my arms? (2x) Now, let's walk on the waters of your eyes I know by my side everything is more brilliant We will be in the air you can feel the heat in my arms? We will be in the air you can feel the heat in my arms? (2x) We are like pale clouds (4x) We are like pale clouds Raining feelings by the roads (...)

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? She is beautiful and temperate Rough winds do shake (2x) Come to me my darling I'm not so bad (2x) We need a bed tonight to confess us what we feel so right Let's love each other (3x)

It's almost one o'clock in the afternoon and we're still in a room Let's get up I'll serve the coffee and you will wear the robe Breakfast junkie We are hungry Bread with cheese is served Breakfast junkie We are hungry Bread with cheese is served I feel like never leaving this bed with you all naked to the sun I feel like never leaving this bed with you all naked to the sun I'll serve the coffee (6x) It's almost one o'clock in the afternoon and we're still in a room Let's get up, my darling I'll serve the coffee Please, come here follow me and you will wear the robe?

Longing 04:11
So far we travel together passed towns and cities, beachs and feelings There was no great obstacles Together now, straight traveled We exceeded limits We found lives It's time to follow each trip alone Will our longing and our hope Together, straight traveled We exceeded limits We found lives It's time to follow each trip alone Will our longing and our hope (5 x)

Hard Country 02:37
Come here babe Let's dance until it falls We have full energy for this I bet our feet are in harmony Come here babe Let's dance until it falls We have full energy for this I bet our feet are in harmony Oh darling! We have so much time to be what we are The things are really hard to face But nothing like a good country to cheer us up (2x)
11.
Inside 04:54
What goes on in your mind when you're weeping? You can whisper in my ear while you sleep and feel me inside on your soul (2x) I really think we're perfect together just like angels The night comes and we will light candles to frighten away what scares us What goes on in your mind when you're weeping? You can whisper in my ear while you sleep and feel me inside on your soul (2x) hold me and feeling my true embrace while you look at my vivid face (5x)

about

Seu histórico como Mario The Alencar (uma de muitas de suas personificações) mostra um trabalho calcado no folk com ”insights guitarrísticos”, tudo num clima lo-fi, termo que é bagunçado, eu admito, onde a gravação caseira faz questão de mostrar que é feita em casa. Seu novo trabalho vai além, muito além – amadurecido como produtor e compositor ele construiu para mim, sua melhor cria.

Influências de Eliott Smith, Pedro The Lion, Daniel Johnston – Mário tem seu jeito de cantar um pouco desafinado/desleixado com um quê de Stephen Malkmus e Sufjan Stevens que são perceptíveis nesse álbum; disse perceptíveis, não copiados. O cara é ”full noventa” nas suas referências na maioria de seus projetos, mas principalmente como Mario The Alencar, assim também como sua banda Killing Surfers. Desde que aprendeu a lidar com programações de bateria sua evolução é gritante, suas guitarras ora levemente distorcidas ora carregadas de chorus, flangers, delays que lembram outros trabalhos seus como o Sketchquiet.

Amigos, o cara criou seu estilo e isso é um diferencial. Com o auxilio de Reuel Albuquerque guitarrista da banda Jude, colocou de forma sensacional metais e sopros sampleados em algumas faixas, a diversidade do disco atingiu um patamar maior ainda, às vezes lembrando o trabalho solo de Neil Halstead, vocalista do Slowdive/Mojave 3 e o já citado Sufjan Stevens. O disco é produzido pelo próprio Alencar, ele gravou as guitarras, contrabaixo, vocais, baterias e as letras são de sua total autoria.

Destaque para as belíssimas faixas ''Blankets'', ''Pale Clouds'', ''Summer’s Day'' e ''Longing''. Em ''Breakfast Junkie'' e ''Feeling So Blue'' ele brinca de Pavement com um tom debochado/brincalhão. A música ''Hard Country'' que leva a um country mais alternativo com guitarras dissonantes também merece esse destaque.

Uma coisa que observo, esse rapaz também é artista visual e designer gráfico, e o som de seus discos se relacionam com as capas, ora com ilustrações próprias ou com fotos ou montagens. Se a capa é mais sombria seu som será mais ”dark” (haha), se o desenho é mais singelo seu som será mais enxuto e nesse álbum, ele fez uma capa mais colorida, com pequenos detalhes que merecem um olhar mais atento e coincidentemente esse é seu disco mais virtuoso e diversificado até agora. Vai agradar quem curte os referidos artistas – é um som indie (no clichê mesmo), mas é de primeira.

Embarquem nessa viagem deste artista que não tem medo ou vergonha de amadurecer.
