Felipe Andreoli tells about "Awake From The Darkness"



The band Angra is about to launch its seventh studio album "Aqua".

Now, Angra's musicians periodically release their impressions about each track from "Aqua".

This time, the bassist Felipe Andreoli clarifies some aspects of the third track from "Aqua", "Awake From The Darkness"

"This song was born from the introduction riff brought by Edu. he also had verse and pre-chorus, and then Rafael and I started working on the rest of riffs and music parts, including chorus, intrumental parts and piano interlude.

The lyrics describe the moment when Prospero realizes while he is in a small boat in the dark with Miranda, that he was betrayed by his brother and friends, and there's no exit. He wonder how he can reverse the situation and accepts his fate. Then he realizes that in the darkness, there is a breath of light : his good and faithfull friend Gonzalo left him food, clothes and his books of magic. Then, Propsero reaches the island, and takes up the hope of overcoming their condition."
