Description
A superstar in Brazil who made London his home in the summer of 1969, a French saint once said that it is as dangerous for a writer to try a new language as it is for a believer to try a new religion and Caetano Veloso, adopting English for the lyrics of this album, conveys his first impressions of living in a foreign country. According to the insert, "the songs serve as a two-way mirror, focusing thoughts and memories of home and absent friends and reflecting on his reaction to a new but friendly environment."
Included on this album are "A Little More Blue" and "London, London" which were the first songs to be written after leaving Brazil, "Maria Bethania" which was penned after one of the most popular singers in Brazil and Caetano's sister, "If You Hold A Stone", "Shoot Me Dead" and "In The Hot Sun Of A Christmas Day".
