NOVELOS
You could anesthetize yourself and try not to think about, changing the subject but, for real, reality is a heavy stuff. It’s hard to process. This lyric is a poetic chance to get us out of this misery that plagues the planet. It was the very first song especially created for this record, while Gustavo and myself were isolated in a beach composing for HABILIDADES EXTRAORDINÁRIAS. Nine out of the eleven songs were made there.

It was the loosest arrangements, perhaps the most tropicalist, the most Jorge Mautner-ian. A groove take. Perfect for recording on tape alive. Each take, an experience. Hard to choose which one. When we release a record, we always hope to have “the” vinyl format. So Novelos would close the A side in an "I'm leaving" mood. I’m going to live on the moon...

lyrics
NOVELOS
I will live on the moon
I'm fed up, I'm leaving on the full moon
I'm here on the street
No home, no food, no rooftop
I lost the spirit
I can't take these people anymore Who think they are different from us Different from rivers,
different from winds
different from animals
I will live on the moon
I’m leaving after the crescent moon
I'm here on the street
No shelter, no money, without a structure
I bled
I can no longer bear this pain growing in my chest Laugh resistant,
touch resistant
Scream resistant,
resistant to my equals
And in my backpack, I will keep my crazyness My bravery,
my oddity
My sympathy,
my voluptuousness
Ova, glasses, ball of wool
I will live on the moon I'm kinda crazy
Don’t piss me off
II’m flying I’m flying I’m flying
