Rupert's decision

End of track 5

After playing the tune, something comes to Rupert's mind. Suddenly, he feels that not everything around him would succeed in its natural course, not everything would follow the impeccable plan he had in mind. He then realizes the need to resume his journey, without knowing exactly how. He stops playing the tune and leaves.

More about the song

This was the first song made in partnership with Paulo. He had written the lyrics when he met me at a festival. He came to me, after listening to my song that had been presented, and he said "I have lyrics that talk about the cemetery. Do you want to compose the song for it?". From there, a great friendship was born, as well as a song that escapes traditional sequences.

The narrative of the lyrics tells the story of Rupert walking in the middle of a cemitery, where he suddenly imagines himself talking to a dead person, about what this person regarded as truly important in his life. Finally Rupert asks him about the significance of the symbol of the cross which laid on his tomb. Had it been the reason of his life?

"The confluence of grey and blue" begins with "Rupert's entry into the sanctuary" and finishes with "Rupert's decision".

Lyrics

vagava sem rumo pelo cemitério,

pela longa avenida dos mortos,

caminhava a interpretar o porquê

daquelas fotos, aquelas catacumbas,

aqueles dizeres, aquelas estátuas,

aquelas flores, aquelas velas,

aquele cinza fúnebre,

aquelas velhas, aquele velório,

toda aquela alcova.
