Featured Song:

“Quero Morar numa Canção” (I Want to Live in a Song) expresses a desire for a peaceful, grounded life through the metaphor of living inside a piece of music. “I want to live in a song / Where the ground floor / Is my first verse / The end and the beginning / Simple, uncomplicated / And easy to sing / A song with an open door / With no set pitch / For anyone who wants to come in.”
