A formação original era constituída por Luís Gravato nas vozes, Tiago Faden no baixo, Fernando Pereira na guitarra, Luís Sampaio nos teclados, Guli na bateria e José Bruno no saxofone. Foi uma banda que surgiu nos Olivais em 1984 sob o impulso deste grupo de vizinhos adolescentes, que se encontravam à noite no café.
No fundo da avenida Bebendo um capilé Quarenta graus à sombra Nas mesas do café E aquela rapariga Eu já não sei o que dizer O que fazer O que dizer O que fazer
Aihaiah Mediterrâneo agosto Em pleno verão Aihaiah O sol a pino e eu faço Uma revolução Aihaiah
Parte um navio Desce a maré Vejo o céu vermelho Tomara que estivesse a arder E aquela rapariga Eu já não sei o que dizer O que fazer O que dizer O que fazer
Aihaiah Mediterrâneo agosto Em pleno verão Aihaiah O sol a pino e eu faço Uma revolução Aihaiah
Eu só te quero a ti Eu só te quero para mim Agosto aqui para mim Só ter um fim É ter-te a ti Só para mim Agosto aqui Só para mim"

Brandi Carlile (born June 1, 1981 in Ravensdale, Washington) is an American singer and songwriter.[1] Carlile's music has been categorized in several genres, including pop, rock, alternative country, indie and folk.
Biography Early life
At age eight, Carlile performed a rendition of the country music song "Tennessee Flat Top Box" with her mother.[2] She began to play the guitar and write songs at fifteen.[3] At sixteen, she began to perform as a backup singer for an Elvis impersonator.[4] Career
Before signing to a major record label, Carlile with twin brothers Tim and Phil Hanseroth, performed in local Seattle establishments like The Crocodile, Tractor Tavern, and Paragon.[5] Carlile sold their self-released recordings during their local performances. Carlile began to attract the attention of the music industry after Dave Matthews heard her band perform at the 2003 Sasquatch! Music Festival.
Columbia Records signed Carlile in late 2004 on the strength of her home recordings. Her 2005 major label debut, Brandi Carlile included some of those songs as well as newly recorded tracks. After the release of Brandi Carlile, she went on tour with the Hanseroth brothers for almost two years, where they worked on songs that became part of her album The Story.[6]
In 2005, she was featured on Rolling Stone's "10 Artists to Watch in 2005" list.[7] By the end of 2006, Carlile had toured as a headliner and supported other artists including Ray LaMontagne, Johnny Lang, Hanson, Indigo Girls, The Fray, Chris Isaak, Tori Amos, and Shawn Colvin.[citation needed] Her second Columbia album, The Story, was released in April 2007. It was produced by T Bone Burnett and includes a collaboration with the Indigo Girls on "Cannonball". The album was recorded in an 11-day long session with Carlile, the Hanseroth twins, cellist Josh Neumann and drummer Matt Chamberlain to capture the sound of her live performances. The crack in Carlile's vocals during the title track, "The Story", came out by accident and was a direct result of the way the album was recorded. Carlile describes the vocals as "technically wrong but emotionally right".[8] She would also contribute vocals to "Last Tears" from Indigo Girls' Despite Our Differences.
ABC's Grey's Anatomy featured three of her songs: "Tragedy", "What Can I Say", and "Throw it All Away". In April 2007, Grey's Anatomy debuted a version of the video for the single "The Story" interspersed with footage from the show. On 3 May 2007, a special two-hour episode of the show featured Carlile's song "Turpentine" during footage of the Grey's Anatomy spin-off, Private Practice.
In November 2007, Carlile visited England for her first UK gig at the Borderline in London. In February 2008, Carlile performed as special guest to Newton Faulkner on five of his UK tour dates. During March and April 2008 Carlile toured through Australia with Maroon 5 and OneRepublic.[9] In April 2008 she played four dates in the UK and was a guest performer on the BBC2 show, Later... with Jools Holland. Carlile's album The Story was released in the UK on April 21, with lead single "Turpentine" released on April 14.
Most recently, Carlile's song "The Story" has been featured in a General Motors commercial aired during the Beijing Olympic Games. Charity activities
Carlile worked with Reverb, a non-profit environmental organization, for her 2007 fall tour.[10] She also performed with Ben Taylor in the Eden Presents…Alive in the World concert series for the benefit of Eden Florida, an organization that assists autistic children and adults.[11] Discography

"The Story Brandi Carlile
Composição: Indisponível
All of these lines across my face Tell you the story of who I am So many stories of where I've been And how I got to where I am But these stories don't mean anything When you've got no one to tell them to It's true...I was made for you
I climbed across the mountain tops Swam all across the ocean blue I crossed all the lines and I broke all the rules But baby I broke them all for you Because even when I was flat broke You made me feel like a million bucks Yeah you do and I was made for you
You see the smile that's on my mouth Is hiding the words that don't come out And all of my friends who think that I'm blessed They don't know my head is a mess No, they don't know who I really am And they don't know what I've been through like you do And I was made for you...
All of these lines across my face Tell you the story of who I am So many stories of where I've been And how I got to where I am But these stories don't mean anything When you've got no one to tell them to It's true...I was made for you"
