In Which we talk about Apathy: how an Empire fell by a thousand papercuts

Good afternoon, dear friend! This post is going to be a big one in size, I had a lot in mind to assemble! Hope you are well, and hope the weather is lovely! I am happy it is another day on the christmas season, yet I also worry that this post is quite big! Anyway, I in advance beg your forgiveness for not writing some words properly, my eyes are bothering me... I hope my point may come across anyway... let us jump to it... There has been a number of bad events over the past weeks. In Brazil, we are closer to the meme "I can't complain about things (or else I may be in judicial jeopardy)" than not. The election here was a disaster, and not because some group voted one way or the other, that is the wrong way of looking at it. Truth is, it was one election with a predetermined result. The evidence over fraud or at least something very eerie happening to the process is enough to, unfortunately, I must tell, because some certainly deserve the shaming, absolve people from any b...

Music of the Week! In which the author talks about his favorite song by Nelo!

Hello and good morning people!! How are you all? Time for another song of the week in this hot Friday, way too hot to be on winter time! If you read my post on Reid, one of my faves of season 14 of The Voice, and just my fave in general, you will aknowledge that he's on a alternative-rock band called Nelo! Before June, I already knew that, but never searched for it, until the day I decided to do it, and this was one of my best decisions of last month! I'm not a rock person, but I loved the songs of the band! The lyrics are great, needless to say Reid's voice is just wonderful, and all the instruments are very well executed, I just love everything! I could talk a lot about the band, but I think I'm gonna have a separate post to do that, because this would be a too big post if I did that, so for today let's just focus on the song of the day! The first tune I listened of the group was Footsteps, and I just fell in love with it. That song opened the doors to the other ones that came after it, so it was also really impactful! This is the song we're having today here!

Footsteps (Spotify) - This version is from the Album Old Friends...  (2012)
The acoustic version of the song is also truly amazing! Here's the link to it:
Footsteps Acoustic (Spotify) - This is from the Album Roots (Live) (2017)
And, if you don't have Spotify, you can listen to it on Youtube Here!

I hope you guys might like the song, I really love it! And I totally recommend you all to look more by Nelo, I loved all the songs I listened so far! I'm still getting to know the band but everything sounds really promising! Let's close this post with the cover of the album Roots!


And that's it for today! Thanks for being here! I appreciate that so much! See you again next time, dear reader!
