In a video posted on his Instagram profile this Friday 23, Marisa Mount tells his inspiration for composing the song On the road and recalls the behind the scenes that led to his collaboration with the singer Brown Carlinhos. The song is included in the album Cor de Rosa e Carvão, which is celebrating its 30th anniversary.
“I was already a partner of Nando (Reis), we were in Bahia and there we met Brown. We met for a few nights in a hotel, composing, and in those same days we wrote three songs”, she says. They are: Your Joe, ECT AND On the road.
The artist takes the opportunity to reflect on the meaning of the song On the road, the one for her It represents the transience of life, but says that reading a song is something personal.
“Everyone will do a reading of it (the song On the road), is a very open text. For me it talks about the road, about expectations, it talks about waiting, it also talks about the transience of the life of those who travel through this world”, reflects Marisa.
The partnership that began there turned out to be one of the most surprising in Brazilian music, giving birth to Marisa Monte and Carlinhos Brown, three Latin Grammysin 2003, with the work Tribalistswhich also featured Arnaldo Antunes. The trio was awarded in the categories Best Contemporary Brazilian Pop Album, Record of the Year and Album of the Year.
Lyrics by On the Road
- He will come back, he will arrive
- And if it takes a while, I’ll wait for you
- She comes and no one is more beautiful
- Ooh baby, I wanna be yours tonight
- No button, in time
- Up on the floor
- On every staircase there is walking
- On foot, by truck
- Your schedule is never ahead of schedule
- Where am I?
- And when I hide my dark circles
- It’s collecting love
- The room, without it, has a window
- I come closer to ask for attention
- She comes and nobody
- But she comes towards me
- Room, without it
- Tilting window
- Regarding attention
- She comes and nobody
- More beautiful comes towards me
- No button, in time
- Up on the floor
- On every staircase there is walking
- On foot, by truck
- Your schedule is never ahead of schedule
- Where am I?
- And when I hide my dark circles
- It’s to collect love
- The room, without it, has a window
- I come closer to ask for attention
- She comes and nobody
- But she comes towards me
- Room, without it
- Tilting window
- Regarding attention
- She comes and nobody
- More beautiful comes towards me
