(R20)
This poetic, tri‑lingual nocturne blends Portuguese, Spanish, and English lyrics with smooth male vocals, nylon‑string guitar, fretless bass, and jazz‑inflected piano to explore loss, memory, and the quiet rituals of surviving grief. The song follows a wandering figure — addressed as “Flaco” in a charged, confrontational opening — whose suffering is acknowledged with both bite and tenderness.
A coroner moves through empty, cold streets, reflecting on lives that ended in silence. Over gentle rhythms and soft harmonic motion, music becomes his refuge: a balm, a companion, and the only place where the dead still breathe.
Across layered verses and mirrored bridges, the song traces a path from mourning to a fragile kind of healing. The recurring motif of ritmos suaves / gentle rhythms symbolizes the shelter he finds in sound — a new home built from melody, memory, and the acceptance of life’s brevity.
The piece culminates in a quiet affirmation of resilience: even in the presence of death, music carries the spirit forward, offering peace where words alone cannot.
