Mágoa que Segui 03:29
lyrics

Sem deixar cair O que te dei pra cuidar Sem deixar o peso te distrair Sem te deixar, caí. Mesmo com força pra me segurar Com medo de me despedir Chamei Me traz de volta o que te dei Dizendo que não pode cuidar E que sabe bem melhor mentir E que sabe bem melhor medir A vida útil do que sobra Que o que sobra é só Não precisa da sua mão

Upside down and backwards Second chance of being lost Upside down and backwards Second chance of being lost Come after me Are you coming? This was meant to happen Drown in my eyes Sleep in my arms Sleep, little honey Come after me Will you follow? Upside down and backwards Second chance of being lost inside you

Feels Like Home 03:14

Late at night, you're still sleeping And I can't seem to let go Of your dreams - you stared at me Like a tired and hungry ghost And I can't stand What you used to do to me The black chill you made me feel Last time So it's cum back And return where you belong Stab yourself in someone else's mind If you're dreaming, let me know, please I can't stand having you Haunting me in every corner If there I represent your fears

My bed is broken And i don't know if i can fix it My lens are open And i don't see how to predict My bed is broken And don't know if i can fix it My lens are open And i see i can't predict And i can't go Without you, you know I can't blame myself For being so swell Everything will be allright Everything will be just fine

Pequena Morte 04:58
lyrics

Alego insanidade momentânea Hoje e amanhã, por precaução Antes que você olhe pra outro lado Você viu aquelas coisas todas Passando na janela do carro E eu te obriguei a segurar o volante Podei-te os braços e as pernas Querendo poder substituí-los Pelos meus membros desajustados Todas as desculpas não serão sinceras

about

Hailing from the sunny beaches of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, DJ6 is a band whose music is the complete opposite of the place they’re from. Sounding cold, complex, intimate and sophisticated, their songs are influenced by the likes of Portishead, Massive Attack, Sneaker Pimps and Radiohead, and yet maintaining an originality of its own.

The band started out when Bruno Correia, a popular rock dj from Rio, decided he wanted a second shot with a band. Having played an eletro-punk-extravaganza performance on a college festival with his close friend Bruno Fiuza, Correia decided they should form a new group, with a different outtake from the former. He then invited female vocalist Julia Vaz, who used to sing for pop rock bands and was incresingly interested in indie/art rock music.

Admittedly not a great guitarrist, Bruno Correia decided to pick the bass guitar, leaving the lead guitar to felipe fortes (aka starphaser), guitarrist and vocalist of many underground alternative bands such as lírio branco and The Crunch. Fortes added subtle guitar textures to the band, also commiting himself as a backing vocalist and producer. Fiuza friendly parted ways with the band at the end of 2006, and Fred Mendes, long-time friend of Fortes and drummer of Columbia, took his place.

DJ6 is a band whose influences are not exactly how they sound like, since their originality surpasses any kind of genre or style. Singing in portuguese, english and french, they also assume the position of an international band, even if Rio de Janeiro’s roots are in them - the main proof of that is that the name of the band delivers from Dom João the Sixth, king of Portugal who came to Brazil when Napoleon conquered the country. Dom João the Sixth is father’s to Brazil first emperor, Dom Pedro the first.
