Sacred Earth - música de Andre Bastos e letra de Peter Lilley
20/01/2023

Composta por Andre Bastos e com letras por Peter Lilley, a faixa é a primeira composição inédita da banda em 2023. Após o lançamento de “For a Better World”, Peter quis conhecer a banda por causa da participação especial de Alessandro Del Vecchio, de quem ele também é muito fã. Começamos a trocar mensagens e desenvolver a nossa amizade e parceria nessa música.

Mais um lançamento em parceria com a Metal Relics, e produção de Tito Falaschi.

Sobre a letra, Peter Lilley escreve:
“Parece que temos lutado por essa causa desde sempre e que continuaremos nessa luta para sempre. 
Mas o sempre realmente dura pra sempre? 
Quanto tempo ainda temos, realmente?”

One Day - música, vídeo e interpretação vocal de arrepiar
18/06/2022

O segundo vídeo clip, também dirigido por Thiago Kiss, foi da música One Day, a balada marcante do álbum. 

Assista One Day: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=om7jaF1hgGk

“No vídeo de One Day, Thiago Kiss retrata com maestria, mas de maneira não literal, tudo o que a música transmite. Um filme que é uma obra de arte por si só. E a banda fez um trabalho incrível nessa música, com destaque para a incrível orquestração do Leo Loebenberg, o lindo solo do Rodolfo Elsas e uma interpretação digna de um prêmio da Daísa Munhoz. Estou feliz demais em finalmente poder dividir com o mundo a música que eu considero ser a mais bonita que eu já escrevi”.

Twilight Aura lança videoclipe de Inner Prison com direção de Thiago Kiss
18/04/2022

O videoclipe de Inner Prison, primeiro clipe de sua história e o segundo single do álbum, foi dirigido por Thiago Kiss (Shaman, Angra, Spektra, Jeff Scott Soto) e gravado em uma locação especial para os músicos.  

Assista Inner Prison: https://youtu.be/x5sX8Z8jTt4   

Ouça nas plataformas de streaming: https://onerpm.link/809982708139  

Essa é uma música muito especial para a banda. Gostamos do fato dela ser rápida e melódica, mas também ter partes com climas distintos e até guitarras limpas. Nessa letra, a gente estende a mão a alguém que precisa de ajuda para encontrar novos caminhos e superar as fases difíceis e os desafios que são encontrados durante a nossa jornada. O vídeo em preto e branco serve para ilustrar o clima mais sombrio durante os períodos de dificuldades onde nos fechamos em nossa prisão interior. O diretor Thiago Kiss conseguiu transmitir tudo isso de forma sutil, mas também mostrando a força da banda.

O primeiro single Watching The Sky ganha lyric-video
5/04/2021

O sexteto lançou o single Watching the Sky enquanto preparava seu primeiro álbum For A Better World. 

Assista Watching The Sky: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AkIZZLEuS34

Ouça nas plataformas de streaming: https://twilightaura.bandcamp.com/track/watching-the-sky-2

Composta originalmente em 1992, Watching the Sky ganhou novo refrão em 1996. “Escolhemos uma música de refrão forte, uma levada não muito rápida e com o equilíbrio adequado entre peso e melodia. A letra fala sobre encarar de maneira positiva o momento em que temos que resolver problemas e estamos à procura de respostas. Se pararmos e observarmos o céu, muitas vezes podemos alcançar um estado de equilíbrio que nos ajuda a encontrar a tão esperada resposta”, explica Bastos.

Banda metal paulistana dos anos 90 Twilight retorna como Twilight Aura

Comandada pelo guitarrista da primeira formação do Angra, Andre Linhares Bastos (também ex-Skyscraper) a banda paulistana Twilight Aura, antes conhecida como Twilight, retornou as atividades em 2020. Mantendo o time de 1995 à 1997 com Rodolfo Elsas na guitarra, Filipe Guerra no baixo (ex-Skyscraper, Wizards, Preacher e Revenge), Leo Loebenberg nos teclados (Das Fossem) e Claudio Reis na bateria, Twilight Aura traz como vocalista a experiente Daísa Munhoz, conhecida mundialmente por seus trabalhos com a Soulspell e Vandroya. 

Andre Bastos comenta sobre a adição de Daísa Munhoz à Twilight Aura

“Há muito tempo tenho curtido várias bandas de power metal com vozes femininas. Uma das minhas bandas favoritas é a Vandroya, que tem Daísa como vocalista. Também gosto demais do trabalho dela na Soulspell. Conversando com o Tito Falaschi sobre os planos de gravação, analisamos as linhas vocais e ele observou que uma voz feminina se encaixaria melhor nas músicas. Concordei totalmente. Ele sugeriu convidar a Daísa e eu disse que seria um sonho se ela topasse. Uma vez que já haviam trabalhado juntos, ele estendeu o nosso convite para que ela fosse a voz do nosso álbum de estreia. Quando mostrei os trabalhos da Daísa para a banda, todos ficaram boquiabertos e concordaram imediatamente.” 

Daísa Munhoz conta como juntou-se à Twilight Aura

“Esse convite chegou através de Tito Falaschi, que já havia me produzido em diversas gravações e com quem eu sempre amei trabalhar. Ele, então, me colocou em contato com Andre Bastos para uma reunião, onde Andre me contou sobre a história e a importância da gravação deste novo álbum, uma verdadeira celebração por tantos anos lindos da trajetória da Twilight Aura. De cara já me senti em casa, descobrindo que Andre e eu temos muitas coisas em comum. Eu me apaixonei pelas músicas, pelas temáticas das letras; uma identificação imediata aconteceu ali. Para mim, é uma honra muito grande poder ser a voz que vai contar essa jornada tão bonita de uma banda com mais de 27 anos de história” 

O sentimento de nostalgia permeia em todos da banda

O baixista Filipe Guerra comenta: “o desafio técnico de regravar essas músicas depois de 27 anos é algo muito agradável, pois as ideias foram repensadas a partir da maturidade musical hoje em dia”.  

Rodolfo Elsas acrescenta: “Depois de mais de 25 anos sem chegar perto de uma guitarra, regravar essas músicas foi uma verdadeira viagem no tempo”.

O baterista Claudio Reis continua: “Regravar essas músicas, que a gente curtiu muito a vida toda, com a tecnologia de hoje, tem sido a realização de um sonho”.

E o tecladista Leo Loebenberg complementa: “Bem legal trazer esses sons de volta e gosto bastante da idéia de podermos adaptar os arranjos para o ‘agora’”.

Conheça mais sobre a Twilight Aura

“Infelizmente a banda não registrou o nome nos anos 90 e hoje a marca Twilight tem outros donos. Adicionamos Aura, uma palavra curta e de fácil pronúncia, que combina bem com Twilight”, revelou Andre Bastos.  

Em 1991, depois de receber um convite feito por Rafael Bittencourt para se juntar à sua nova banda, Bastos deixou o Skyscraper (onde tocava com o guitarrista Marcos “Naza” Nazareth e o vocalista Ricardo Rosa). Após sua saída da banda que viria a ser o Angra, Bastos integrou por alguns meses a banda do ABC paulista Revenge, onde conheceu o baixista Filipe Guerra, bem como a Chonps, onde tocava o baterista Claudio Reis. 

No segundo semestre de 1993, Andre foi convidado para tocar em um show no lendário Black Jack Rock Bar, em Santo Amaro (SP). Então ele chamou seus amigos e ex-colegas de banda, Naza, Ricardo, Filipe e Claudio, e em setembro daquele mesmo ano nascia a Twilight. Em seu primeiro show, a banda tocou covers de Iron Maiden, Gamma Ray e outros, além de apresentar suas primeiras composições. 

Após essa primeira apresentação, Andre, Claudio e Filipe continuaram com a banda e a eles se juntaram Luigi Pilosio (Preacher) na guitarra, Sandra Reis nos teclados e Tomas Kenedi no vocal. Com essa formação a primeira e única demo tape intitulada Dawn foi gravada no estúdio Creative Sound por Phil Colodetti. 

Posteriormente, Rodolfo Elsas substituiu Luigi na guitarra e Leo Loebenberg assumiu os teclados. 

Essa foi a última formação que durou até 1997, quando a banda fez seu último show no Black Jack em São Paulo, contando com Ricardo Camilato no lugar de Rodolfo Elsas. Em 2020, mesmo com os integrantes espalhados em quatro continentes, colocaram em prática o projeto de gravar um álbum com as músicas que a banda compôs entre 1993 e 1995. 

Sobre a parceria com a Metal Relics 

“Fui apresentado ao Jorge da Metal Relics pelo Christian Passos, da banda Wizards, que falou muito bem da sua competência e ética profissional. Conversamos e logo percebemos que seria uma parceria que funcionaria muito bem. Estou muito feliz com o resultado”, disse Andre Bastos. “A Metal Relics busca o engajamento e valorização do Rock e Metal frente ao  público, sendo nosso principal mote as bandas nacionais!  E sendo assim, nada mais especial que contarmos com um super reforço! A Twilight Aura a partir de agora estará ao lado de nossos outros artistas, nos ajudando em nossa missão e  nos presenteará com um álbum repleto de participações especiais, nostalgia e grandes músicas. Bem vindos ao nosso time, estamos gratos e felizes em tê-los conosco”, contou Jorge.

Lyrics

Inner Prison 
music and lyrics by Andre Bastos 

Sing a song 
Just think about your life 
Don’t think about the lies 
Forget all this 

I know you're strong 
I know you’ll be alright 
Try and forgive the fights 
Strive for peace 

Why not take 
New turns and different ways 
Knowing you are not always right 

But if you say 
You want to stay away 
Another week or day  
You’ll be left behind 

Whatever happened to that smile 
I can’t believe in what I see now 
Yes, we are dreamers  
The solutions are there to be found 

You’ll feel no pain 
There is so much to gain 
Leaving behind the emptiness 
Of our past tears 

You must accept 
When things come to an end 
And find the strength 
To fight your fears 

Find the courage for a new start 
And always listen to your own heart 
You are surrounded by illusions 
You’ll find a way out 

Find a way out to someplace 
Where you’ll get to shine your light 
That you hide behind your eyes 
You've got to keep trying 
No one can deny the pain you are feeling  
Inside of your heart 
This is not the right way 
You are running away 
Free your mind and reason 
From your inner prison 

Why confine yourself 
Locking your mind in a prison cell 

Wherever you go 
You’ll never be too far apart 
From your feelings 
They reside inside your heart 

Don’t, don’t talk that much 
Is this your defense 
So you don’t have to listen to anyone? 
I know, it’s hard, but do it anyway 
You'll find a way 

Find a way out to someplace 
Where you’ll get to shine your light 
That you hide behind your eyes 
You've got to keep trying 
No one can deny the pain you are feeling  
Inside of your heart 
But this is not the right way 
You are running away 
Free your mind and reason 
From your inner prison

Prayer  
music by Rafael Bittencourt and Andre Bastos 
lyrics by Rafael Bittencourt and Andre Bastos 

Again you're swallowing your daily hatred  
Your selfish vision is leading us to the end   
Why demonize the other person's beliefs   
When we all got eyes but different points of view  

Do you think we need to build more walls  
And arm ourselves with the illusions of war? 
If we are all for turning words into action  
Let's build more bridges to show compassion  

And now it is time to help one another  
I don't think I'm the only one  
A simple start, a gesture of kindness    
is  more than a thousand words  

Sometimes I pray for the world we’ll leave behind  
Sometimes I pray for lasting peace for humankind  
Sometimes I pray for the world   

Now it is time to help one another  
I don't think I'm the only one  
It's time to break up from selfishness and pride  
To build a better world  

Sometimes I pray for  
The world we’ll leave behind  
Sometimes I pray for  
Lasting peace for humankind  

Sometimes I pray for  
The world that we’ll leave behind  
Sometimes I pray for  
Lasting peace for humankind  
Sometimes I pray for  
The world that we’ll leave behind  
Sometimes I pray for  
Lasting peace for humankind

One Day  
music and lyrics by Andre Bastos 

One day in the past   
We first met, it was a special night  
You say you knew back then  
We were supposed to spend together our lives  
It took some time  
But we're finally where we are  
Can't believe we made this far  
  
One day I took a deep breath  
And got ready to open my heart  
And told you how I felt  
How much I cared about you for quite a while  
Day and night  
Mesmerized by your smile  

When it comes alive, I feel that's all I need  
In the autumn’s breeze, the warmth of spring  
When the sun hits your eyes,   
There's the joy it all brings  

One day you realized, then you came into my life  
Broke down the walls and left all our fears behind  
That day you realized, when you came into my life  
That this is how it was meant to be from the start  

One day you wondered "what's next"?  
And realized that maybe it was time  
So you took that next step  
And now I am with you along this ride  
And I’ll be there to dry any tears should you need to cry  
Until you smile (until you smile again)  

One day you realized, then you came into my life  
Broke down the walls and left all our fears behind  
That day you realized, when you came into my life  
That’s how it was meant to be right from the start 
While our dreams guide you and me through this glorious ride  

Realizing our dreams, uniting our lives  
(a simple look, the channels open, we understand the words unspoken)  
We fly through new skies, we climb to new highs  
(together we're much stronger)  

Close your eyes and fill your heart with all my love  
Just know we'll always rise above  
You’ve got the purest heart, so much kindness inside  
Every day I wake up with the certainty   
That I'll be forever by your side  

One day you realized, then you came into my life  
Broke down the walls and left all our fears behind  
That day you realized, when you came into my life  
That’s how it was meant to be right from the start 

One day you realized, then you came into my life  
Broke down the walls and left all our fears behind  
That day you realized, when you came into my life  
That this is how it was meant to be  
Together I'll be, forever by your side

Watching the Sky 
music and lyrics by Andre Bastos 

I am lying here while watching the sky 
Looking at the clouds by day, by night I count the stars 
I wonder if I’ll ever find the answers that I am after 
In the meantime it’s time to commit to doing it right 

So now reach deep inside, use your inner eye 
Did you know that the burden is much lighter 
When you are looking up at the sky? 

Watching the sky 
And I am waiting for you 
Watching as the sun is going down on the horizon 
Watching as the time 
Keeps on passing by us 
As the stars begin to shine up in the sky 

I’m lying here and watching the sky 
Watching the sky, watching the sky 

Lingering in silence 
Finding the words we’re longing to hear 
In a state of awareness and balance 
As we hoped the answer becomes clear 

Watching the sky 
And I am waiting for you 
Watching as the sun is going down on the horizon 
Watching as the time 
Keeps on passing by us 
As the stars begin to shine up in the sky 

Watching the sky 
And I am waiting for you 
Watching as the sun is going down on the horizon 
Watching as the time 
Keeps on passing by us 
As the stars begin to shine up in the sky 

I’m lying here and watching the sky 
Watching the sky, watching the sky

Freedom 
music and lyrics by Andre Bastos 

Born into this life 
Still changing inside 
To so many versions of you 
But a need to obey 
It molds you the way 
That pressure is pointing to  

And then growing up 
Life keeps changing so much 
Finding out what lies in store for you 
Not fitting in a label 
‘Cause the spectrum of the rainbow 
Has so many more colors than just two 

Now it’s time to find real freedom 
And then when life throws you a curveball 
Just remember that love is for all 
Acceptance, we’re not all the same 
And we can rule our own game 

Freedom, trying and finding real freedom 
Be the one you want to be 
Freedom, crying and fighting for freedom 
You deserve to be free 
Freedom, trying and finding real freedom 
Be the best you can be 
Freedom, crying and fighting for freedom 
Set yourself free 

We’ll set all this world free 
It’s time to let everyone see 
We live in new times 
Where respect is due to all our lives 
It’s time to live by real freedom 

Raise your voice, change the old world into new 
Change grows near, still so much left to do 
We live in new times 
Where respect is due to all of lives 
It’s time to live by real freedom 

Freedom, trying and finding real freedom 
Be the one you want to be 
Freedom, crying and fighting for freedom 
You deserve to be free 
Freedom, trying and finding real freedom 
Be the best you can be 
Freedom, crying and fighting for freedom

Living is more than surviving 
music and lyrics by Andre Bastos 

Life 
You wake up every morning in time to face it live 
You don't stop to think just go forth and face the grind 
You do what you’ve gotta do to make the ends meet 
Until exhaustion take its toll and then you’re done 

Hey, stop, wait a minute, why keep doing that? 
Take a breath and see we are not made to work ourselves to death 

Find a real balance, take some breaks when you have a chance  
I know what you say in your defense, that you have to dance the dance 

It's getting worse when you start losing perspective 
Take a look around, don’t you find it all excessive? 
If you get out of this bubble, and reflect on 
How far you came, and how far you are, what did you expect? 

Sooner than you can understand your time comes to an end 
What about those dreams you dreamt? 
If you let me I will lend a hand 

Come on, let’s fight the real fight 
While we still have time 
Come on, fight back for your life 
It’s time you realized 
Living is more than surviving 

So, what will it be? What happened to your dreams? 
Maybe you’re too blind to see, the life that you get to lead 
Are you paying attention to the things that really matter? 
Beyond the stress and tensions, you know you can do better 

Come on, let’s fight the real fight 
While we still have time 
Come on, fight back for your life 
It’s time you realized 
Living is more than surviving 
More than surviving 

Come on, let’s fight the real fight 
Come on, let's fight back for our lives 
Come on, it’s time you realized 
Come on, living is more than surviving

Limits of Reason  
music and lyrics by Andre Bastos 

Here I sit, try to untangle these thoughts  
Evaluate and revisit our faults  
It’s not that hard to connect all the dots  
Still so many chose to ignore it at all costs  

Reason and heart clash in insane disputes  
When one goes down, the other one always follows suit  
There’s only one truth, it’s the goal of our pursuit  
Let’s trace this issue right down to its root  
Let’s fix this problem, once and for all  

We can’t stay forever on the sidelines   
We cannot forever be fed by lies  
The widespread belief that creatures can be abused  
Or cruelly slaughtered, it’s what people got used to    
Through no fault of their own  
That's how it's always been done  
Still it doesn't make it any less wrong  

Beyond reason, beyond dreams  
Lies the balance of our lives  
Beyond reason, spreading seeds  
And planting peace in our minds  
Beyond reason, reach deep within  
Find the shining sign leading our hearts   
Beyond reason  

Humans push the limits, hungry for more  
The data is clear, so why still so ignored?  
We’ve reached a point the Earth no longer can afford  
We resort to reason and no one answers that door  
We’re getting nowhere 

As the world is being torn apart  
Now it's time to appeal to people’s hearts  
As reality gets punished by clueless minds  
If we do mind we’ve got to reach out   
And find a way before time runs out    

We can be together and start the talk  
And together we can beat all the odds if we walk the walk   
Let’s try being mindful when we speak our minds  
Let me remind you that we live in unique times,   
We’re not alone, when all is said and done  
We still share the same home  

Beyond reason, beyond dreams  
Lies the balance of our lives  
Beyond reason, spreading seeds  
And planting peace in our minds  
Beyond reason, reach deep within  
Find the shining sign leading our hearts   
Beyond reason and one’s dreams  
Planting seeds, and let's live cruelty-free  
Beyond reason

Rage 
music and lyrics by Andre Bastos 

When you feel that rage 
Driving you to the edge 
Blurring your mind 
So don’t take that bait 

This path you take 
Blind eyes won't see your mistake 
Don’t make decisions when you just cannot think straight 

One day you may look back with regret 
And wish you could take back what you said 
The shame that you can’t get rid of 
Remember what you are made of 
True to yourself guided only by the love 
That you feel for life, and you feel you can fight this 

Rage burning in your chest 
Turning your calm into distress 
Remember that all the people should be given a second chance 
This blinding rage boiling in your chest 
Fight it now, while you’ve still got a chance 
Your pride is hurt but don't lose hope 
It’s time to look for a better path, a wiser path 

In these moments take a look at yourself  
See the harm those outbursts do to your health 
Slow down and take a deep breath 
Free to choose a new path 
And find yourself in need of love 
That you feel for life, when you feel you can fight this 

Rage burning in your chest 
Turning your calm into distress 
Remember that all the people should be given a second chance 
This blinding rage boiling in your chest 
Fight it now, while you’ve still got a chance 
Your pride is hurt but don't lose hope 
It’s time to look for a better path, a wiser path 

You can find this

Sunlight  
music and lyrics by Andre Bastos 

On this sunny morning  
Come look up to the sky  
While this brilliant beam of life  
Begins this brand new day  

A new day  
Unlike the days before or the ones to come  
Although the same almighty light  
Will always be up there in the sky  

Shine sunlight  
Cleanses my soul and takes me higher  
Shine sunlight  
Feeds the flame of life that burns in my heart  

Come and take a look at this blue sky, and open your heart  
To all the joy that comes with a brand new start  
And all things that this healing light can bring  
As you expand your mind with this magic energy  

Shine sunlight  
Cleanses my soul and takes me higher  
Shine sunlight  
Feeds the flame of life that burns in my heart  

It’s good to know that this majestic sunlight  
Will always be present up in the sky  

Shine sunlight  
Cleanses my soul and takes me higher  
Shine sunlight  
Feeds the flame of life that burns in my heart  

Shine sunlight  
Cleanses my soul and connects me to The Highest  
Shine sunlight  
Feeds the flame of life that burns in my heart

Shouting in the dark  
music and lyrics by Andre Bastos 
  

You’re not alone, we’re here right now  
United against the challenges ahead  
No longer can we allow to  
Ignore all these issues as they spread  

How did we lose sight of it?  
We must change this systems for us to progress  
You heard them: "I can't breathe"  
Their unheard cries are still not addressed  

What do I see today?  
The start of the change but still so far away, so far away  

We’re raising our voices  
We’ll continue to be this loud  
It’s time to make our choices  
Either we’re all in or we’re out  

We’re trying to repair  
Those mistakes that stain our past  
Still, it’s so unfair  
Look around you can see all the contrast  

But it seems that I still have to explain  
Opportunities are never the same, it’s a shame, a rigged game  

We’re shouting in the dark  
Justice will be our end game  
We’re crying in the night  
It’s time to put an end to this shame  
We’re shouting in the dark  
We’ll be sure that change is here to stay  
We’re crying in the night  
The world will never be the same  

The treatment is different that's for real, that's for sure  
By most of those who should make us feel secure, so we are  

Shouting in the dark  
Justice will be our end game  
We’re crying in the night  
It’s time to put an end to this shame  
We’re shouting in the dark  
We’ll be sure that change is here to stay  
We’re crying in the night  
The world will never be the same

Twilight  
music and lyrics by Andre Bastos 

 

Some laws of life, under a skyscraper’s lights   
Where frogs fly and the great singers die  
A dreamer’s revenge comes alive  
A melody won’t kill the light  

Reinventing a queen in anger’s time  
Frustrating the angels, hearing them cry   
Don’t feed that monster’s unhealed scars   
What if a spirit’s weakness is being a simple-minded?  

A preacher that lives a parallel life  
Nobody really knows what he feels inside  

Trying to make sense of a black messiah’s words  
In a dark motel room, so confused, what do all these buttons do?  

Within these shadows rise the kings with no reign  
A soul is adrift, while it waits for the calming rain  

Twilight is painting in red the sky  
Bringing an end to the day and to the light  
Now the aura welcomes the night  
Because life is to be lived in the light and in the dark  

A grave that was kept when it was time to fly  
While the wizard took a caravan ride  
A weird clown was leaving the light  
Playing some blackjack throughout the night  

Hence in the last day, she ran away   
Like a beetle realizing the sounds of ascendant   

Twilight is painting in red the sky  
Bringing an end to the day and to the light  
Now the aura welcomes the night  
Because life is to be lived in the light and in the dark  

“Will I make you laugh tonight  
The sky is dark  
Standing straight up I'll shine  
And touch your heart  
I'll bring your soul relief  
And that's my decision  
Brothers of soul  
Having met you all  
Was the best present”  

I pray that one day   
We’ll find the reason  
And fight this rage   
And bring back the sun  
Crying for freedom to shout out again  
Watch the skies above, survive and live,  
Now rid yourself of your inner fears   
You’ll set yourself free  
See the twilight now is here 
Twilight is here 

Next we'll be holding tight  
To the heavens found in these arms   
And try to do things right  
All through the night  

It’s neither real nor a dream  
There’s something that lies in between  
Stealing away my mind from me  
Am I awake or do I dream?  

Defeating the distance with a shared desire  
Yes, there's a way, so balloons now can fly  
A day that the Earth stood still for a while  
People played games, time after time  

Henceforth no longer missing chances to plant the word  
Let’s come together, now it’s time for a better world  

Twilight is painting in red the sky  
Bringing an end to the day and to the light  
Twilight is painting in red the sky  
Bringing an end to the day and to the light  
Now the aura welcomes the night  
Because life is to be lived in the light and in the dark
