[Verse 1]
Simple minded brain, for now, you succumb
Nothing changes your way
This world insists to be the same
Based on our mistakes
The flowers fade along the road
Don't blindfold your eyes
Of a senseless life
So loneliness becomes the law
[Bridge]
Follow your steps and you will find
The unknown ways are on your mind
Need nothing else than just your pride
To get there,
Go!
[Verse 2]
Now you have to face another day
You won't be alone
This life is forcing us to stay
"For how long?"
Cold is the wind and thunderstruck
On a stormy night
But can't you see, I'm by your side
We are marching on
[Pre-Chorus]
Follow your steps and you will find
The unknown ways are on your mind
To get there
Need nothing else than just your pride
[Chorus]
So, carry on, there's a meaning to life
Which someday we may find
The remains from the past, to carry on
Carry on, it's time to forget
[Solo]
[Pre-Chorus]
The unknown ways are on your mind
Follow your steps and you will find
Need nothing else than just your pride
To get there
[Chorus]
So, carry on, there's a meaning to life
Which someday we may find
Carry on, it's time to forget
The remains from the past
So, carry on, there's a meaning to life (carry on)
Which someday we may find
Carry on, it's time to forget (carry on)
The remains from the past
Carry on, it's time to forget
The remains from the past to carry on
Remains from past to carry on
Remains from past
July 8, the Brazilian music scene loses one of its greatest voices. André Matos passed away at 47 years old, a victim of a heart attack. A life too short for someone with many dreams.
Since an early age, the musician had a good musical reference, which made him create some successful bands with friends. References which, didn’t make him be pleased with only being a good singer, but also a great pianist and maestro! His compositions were remarkable. During rehearsals, he always brought the songs ready for his colleagues with all the arrangements done.
The bands he started, we can name Viper, Angra and Shaman. Non-Brazilian artists like Matt Smith (Theocracy, in the USA), Herman Li (Dragon Force, in the UK) and PelleK (in Norway) mention André as an influencer for their songs. The same was already invited to be in the metal opera project by Tobias Sammet called Avantasia, and by the great Finnish guitarist Timo Tolkki to record another project with him, named Symfonia.
André always carried on, finding a meaning to life. He was always a reserved person, being in a few interviews during his career. When he spoke about himself and his projects, he seemed ambitious, though always with a peaceful and calm semblance.
He‘s built a strong history of life and inspired many other people with his works and dedication, living to the maximum everything that he wanted to live. How about you? What history are you composing? What is your mark? How will you be remembered?
Carry on.
