O R I G I N A L S O N G S
The following songs are all original compositions engineered, arranged and produced by me.
SOLO:
Separação (2022)
"Break up" - Fado
My first "Fado", the most famous music genre of my home country: Portugal.
As the title suggests, it is about a break up. The singer is feeling conflicted about what to do.
Music and Lyrics: Francisco Chaves
Voice: Maria Infante
Término de Contrato (2022)
"Contract termination" - Rock / Metal
My first metal song! The text (in portuguese) talks about the ending of a work contract and romantic relationship, but it's written in a very cryptic way. The language is complex and uses not often used words, used in mostly legal and contractual settings.
Music and Lyrics: Francisco Chaves
Quero-te um Dia (2022)
"I want you one day" - Hip-pop / Rap
This is a love song. The protagonist wishes to be with someone. Their loved one. But only for one day.
Music and Lyrics: Francisco Chaves
Canção do Migrante (2022)
"Migrant Song" - Pop/Rock/Acoustic
This song is about a portuguese person who travels to other countries. As the journey progresses, he doesn't know where he belongs and he starts to become mad.
Music and Lyrics: Francisco Chaves
Não fui Amigo (2022)
"I was not your friend" - Acoustic / Bossa Nova
This song is about someone who did not help his friend when he most needed.
Music and Lyrics: Francisco Chaves
EFRA - Acoustic Duo:
Ich bin was du bist (2021)
"I am what you are"
A song with an amazing german text hard to translate and explain. Lots of puns and aliterations.
Music: Gaila Leierkasten & Francisco Chaves
Lyrics: Gaila Leierkasten
Des Nachts (2021)
"At night"
Darkness and lightning surround us during the night. What do we think and do?
Music: Gaila Leierkasten & Francisco Chaves
