Nem vi que escureceu, mas foi então um beijo que partiu sem cor dormiu meu amor quase que... morreu. Vejo assim no céu o teu esplendor mas sobre mim desperta o fim da dor que eu quis Se adormecer vou sonhar construir de onde se desfez Quando acordar tento outra vez. Procuro-te nos destroços do que fui, a derradeira negação de uma sentença consagrada. É preciso deixa-lo morrer, aquele sonho. Abraçar o vazio insustentável, até que não doa mais. Somos mutantes, tu e eu. Seres errantes de futuro incerto, depois do amor. Vais-te aos poucos, desvaneces, enquanto me despedaço. Regressas de vez em quando, quando não quero, para me lembrar que o que foi nunca se perde. Urge encontrar um sentido nos avanços e recuos do acaso, mas não há sentido algum, apenas a despedida. E o que sobrou? A imensidão do mundo. by Joana Espadinha

about

"Santos's debut album is very strong. It has a balance between honesty, sophistication and rawness that fulfills me. Right from the first song I was transported into a universe of colors and shapes that were completely new to me but at the same time it carried a constant feeling of affinity. It’s just like being at home listening to one of those albums that influenced me as a teenager, and every time you listen, each track is a rediscovery that brings and will always bring special emotions."

André Matos (Portuguese Guitarist)

"Ponto de Partida is a wonderful album !
André Santos's compositions are remarkable - superb work on textures.
He leads here a highly cohesive team of top notch musicians and his guitar playing has depth and originality : André clearly has a voice of his own. "

Romain Pilon (French Guitarist)
