For the first time in my life I am spending some time with myself, breathing, walking slowly, and crying just for fun. This time has brought me precious gifts: allowing myself to see different holes and mountains in the world, in my world; walking randomly in the beginning of the night; experiencing the self allowance to waste some of my time; possessing “nothing” in my brain, appreciating every blurry landscapes and turning it into beauty. I found beauty over all my disgrace. I found relief in a world of depression. Probably, I am not making any sense, but I can understand myself this way.
Every moment of an existence of a musical lover is embellished by some soundtrack. Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeros is composed by deep and playful artists; they celebrate some family party and invite us to join them with just one request: bring spontaneity. I was never a fan of the “hippie-movement” and as I far as I know, I still am not. Nevertheless, during this album's journey you learn that 30 years of philosophy of the “peace and love movement” provides you joy and adventure. Reminds us of our rare Brazilian bands, as Móveis Colonias de Acaju and O Teatro Mágico.
Of course I am not referring to an amazing quality of lyrics and musicians. The beauty in music, as hard as it seems, it is not always about good voices, polished sound, exuberated solos; it is in the purpose and harmony, the stage of your life you find yourself in. I am freely euphoric and this sounds amazing to me.
