Lowering my Self Steem...

Well, nothing is perfect. It´s a brazilian saying that can be said and understood in any language! 

Once upon a time, there was a band, my band, called Dezesseis (Sixteen). Once upon the same time, there was going to be an event in my school... Well, it can be seen as an oppotunitty, can´t it? 

Well, we talked to the principal and she allowed us to play in the event, bad luck day, I have to say...

We rehersed some new songs, trying to get the most most popular but still in our style, Punk Rock / Hard Core. We played few songs, 4 or 5... One of ours, and the others were covers... I could remind any song we played, but for some reason, any reason, I remind Offspring - Sefl Steem. 

The sound equalization was awful. They plugged the microphones in speakers that were located metres away from the band, we could barely listen to it, and the audience could hear only it! That was a disaster in its perfection! One of my worst shows ever, possibly the worst!

And they will meet one daaaaay, far away

Some songs strike you when you least expect.

I have already talked about other Amy Mcdonald's song, but, this one, because of it's lyrics, is kind of more important than This is the Life.

I really believe that there's some sort of destiny and that some things will happen completely out of our control, what means that you must let life flow. This song talks a little bit about it, but it talks about the loves we have along the time. Some of them will last more, but some others will last even more in our minds, what is the most complicated.

This song came insistently to my mind when I had one of that conversations about relationship that nobody likes to have. It played over and over again.

Love this song.

Reggae in the Carnival

This time I'll talk about a band, not only a music. This band will always remind me the Carnival of 2007.

I love when people like the music I presented, and in that Carnival I turned O.A.R. on everybody liked. My best friends liked the music and O.A.R. was the main soundtrack of our carnival when in the house (rented for the carnival) or when driving.

There are few important songs from O.A.R., but it deserves its own post. Now, let´s enjoy one of their best songs, that, however, is not to do with any important moment of my life at the moment.

You can watch below a video showing scenes the carnival at Gonçalves - MG / Brazil, but youtube took off the sound, which was an O.A.R. song.

Band:O.A.R
Song: About an Hour Ago
Album: The Wanderer
Released: 1997
