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.

Darkness and lightning surround us during the night. What do we think and do?
