Created in 1981, Canção was recorded only in the studio on the Pan of the Devil album, head of the Section of the ADO of Crazy Beauty
During the 80s, especially in the second half, Raul Seixas He was languishing both musically and as regards health. Delivered to alcoholism, to do with diabetes and after having already removed part of the pancreas, the Crazy beauty He lived his last days on Earth.
The artist’s final sigh came since 1988, when he was invited by his friend Marcelo Novaformer-Venus shirtmake joint tours and record a new album, the The devil’s pan (1989). It would be Raul’s final album.
According to Marcelo’s report, who met Raul Seixas in 1984, the situation of the Brazilian rock icon was depressing. He told the magazine VoyageIn a special article published in 1998, that the artist no longer existed. Before the partnership, Raul was on the verge of death.
“In fact, there was no more career. He had been standing for four years, away from his audience. One day I arrived at his house and he was without a center, drunk, weighing 55 pounds. Something had to be done, I could not look at him with crossed arms.

Raul Seixas performance in “Nuit”
According to the manufacturer report Schimidt penaltywho led the recordings, this was explicit in music “Nuit”. This song had been composed of Raul in 1981, but until then it had never been recorded. Symbolically, it was held for “Swan Corner”, farewell of the crazy beauty.

Pena Schimidt recalls:
“He asked all the lights to be turned off and asked to record the voice on one shot, unless he was, although Raul lost his voice in the last verses. When the lights turned on, all in the studio had shallow eyes, because they understood that that letter was a goodbye note.”
A farewell in the letter
The same letter of “Nuit”In itself, it allows a farewell interpretation, which knows that it is close to the end and will soon receive the “kiss” of death.
And how long the night lasts
The eternal night of the time
Compared to the short dream of life
Arrives adorning in blue
The great lover of men
Keeping you from the sun, your unusual kiss ….. Ah!
Despite having created “Nuit” In 1981, Raul was postponing his recording until he could no longer. The song was born when the singer and songwriter Bahian was, in fact, is about to die.
