Cinzas 07:25
Não vejo o meu fundo Sem tocar no sol. Trinquei este mundo Em lágrimas defunto. Lavei minha sina Entre farrapos perdidos. Do céu chove cinzas De mim chove perigos. Não mexo minha culpa Dos bosques sem verde. A morte ainda escuta Os cânticos da sepulta. Terra quente varrida Porque nunca lhe foi lida. Ceguei de repentino Fujo sempre ao escrutínio.
3.
Nunca os céus Se tornarão lugares. Homens se tornam réus Negros se tornam os mares. Manchas sem retorno Abarrotadas com cinzas. Em canudos de forno Sob almas em suborno.
4.
Sinto que a minha sorte Não quer ser levada. Troco o meu mais forte Neste mundo em desnorte. Cresci num berço em flor Espinhos nas mãos senti. Não fiz pedidos de dor Pela tormenta que vivi.

about

Gesso's much-anticipated second album, titled 'Nunca Os Céus Se Tornarão Lugares,' is a profound and emotive musical trip that transports listeners to a dimension where the boundaries of time and emotion blur into an enigmatic, grey-tinged landscape. Comprised of four sprawling tracks, each with its own unique identity, the album emerges as a powerful identity to the band's evolution and creative prowess. Joel Fausto, Rúben Sequeira, and Flávio SA, hailing from Santo Tirso, Portugal, have masterfully crafted an auditory experience that delves into themes of nostalgia and the nebulous nature of existence.

The album's artistic vision extends beyond the music itself, as it is accompanied by a visually striking nature-grey artwork meticulously photographed by Sara Peixoto. This cover art encapsulates the essence of the album, conveying a sense of longing and reflection, much like the music it introduces. It's a snapshot of the world Gesso invites us to explore—a world where beauty exists in the melancholic shades of grey.

Gesso's musical influences are deeply rooted in the legacy of Portuguese songwriters such as José Afonso, António Variações, and Fausto, who have left an indelible mark on the country's musical landscape. 'Nunca Os Céus Se Tornarão Lugares' pays homage to these icons, weaving poetic and evocative lyrics into its tapestry. The album channels the spirit of these legendary songsmiths, embracing their ability to convey profound emotions through their music.

They draw inspiration from the proto-doom bands of the 1970s, infusing their compositions with elements ranging from Psychedelic Rock to Heavy Doom Metal. The result is an organic, emotionally charged sound that transcends conventional genre boundaries. It's a sound that captivates and transports, inviting listeners to surrender to its hypnotic embrace.
