about

P/ Português abaixo ::
Gabriela Lima goes under the moniker “Gru” to introduce her debut release “Kitchen Door” which is full of self-produced indie tunes.

The melodies are pop in the sense of the catchy fragrance they distil but then the raw guitar and vocals kick in and the Rock layer takes over, reminding you of Boston in the 1990’s. The roots of her music are entrenched in the late 21st century American Alternative Rock scene.

Her lyrics pick up all the little ironic assumptions of life, where hope and despair are never too far from each other, these themes are recurrent throughout the album and you can hear them mix together right from the album opener “Saturday Morning Hope” (where it’s all about the bright possibilities of the weekend, only to find that Monday has come and nothing has changed), but hope is left as a bright closure to the album on “Maybe Today”.

These themes are emphasized by the raw Rock sound and by the catchy choruses of the album, which sees Gru take part in every stage of the recording.

Gabriela Lima se apresenta sob o apelido de "Gru" onde lanca seu album de estréia, "Kitchen Door", recheado de producao independente e melodias indies. As melodias são pop a medida que destilam seu perfume, mas depois a guitarra e o vocal cru da jovem gaucha tomam conta, formando a camada Rock do album, lembrando uma batida Boston anos 90.

A raiz de sua música esta inspirada no final do seculo 21, berco do Rock Americano alternativo. As letras da Gru passam pelos pressupostosos ironicos da vida, onde a esperança e o desespero nunca estao longe um outro, estes temas são recorrentes em todo o álbum e você pode ouvi-los se misturando, desde a musica de aberuta "Saturday Morning Hope" (onde tudo e sobre as incriveis possibilidades de um fim de semana, para no fim se descobrir que segunda-feira chegou e nada mudou), mas a esperança é deixada de lado para um encerramento brilhante para o álbum com a cancao "Maybe Today ".

Todos os temas de Gabi são enfatizados pelo Rock cru e pelos coros cativantes do álbum, onde a mao talentosa de Gru toma parte em todas as etapas da gravação.

Track Name: Saturday Morning Hope
How I wish I was some place else
Sometimes I wish I was somebody else
So that life would be somewhat easier
All these statues shining on a shelf
Come on baby won't you hold me tight
I know you too want to pretend everything's alright
Cuz in a minute I'll be walking out that door
Going out for more
Cuz life outside is such a bore

Come on baby let's dance in the street light
Everyday and every night
Come on baby let's dance in the street light
Won't you smile now, won't you dance now
Won't you try to be happy somehow
Come on baby let's dance in the street light

And everyday I try to make the day feel new
But every time I wake up
It feels like Sunday morning
When it's raining and I'll catch a cold
Still I go about my way
I walk into the rain and say

Come on baby let's dance in the street light
Everyday and every night
Come on baby let's dance in the street light
Won't you smile now, won't you dance now
Won't you try to be happy somehow
So come on baby let's dance in the street light
Track Name: The same as being
A dog without a bone
A sinking stone
One fry short of a happy meal
Something is missing and I cant
force myself to feel what I wanna feel
There are no fireworks in the skies
No ringing bells, no butterflies
So here I stand with the prize
But I forgot just what I was fighting for
You can have both hands full but
In the end you always hope for more
Clothes on the floor
No romance
One last kiss without a second chance

I don't want to admit
I know it surely seems like a losing game
But being in love and feeling lonely
In the end are just the same

Alone in my disaster I dial you up
For another night in hell
I think of the consequences
And only after that I try to think about myself
I need a hand I'd want to touch
The lacking of nothing weighs so much

I don't want to admit
I know it surely seems like a losing game
But being in love and feeling lonely
In the end are just the same
And just cuz I fucked up it doesn't mean
That you can shut me off
But I'll get over this I know I will

The same as being in love
Is the same as being alone
It's the same as being in love
It's the same as being... alone and in love and alone.
Track Name: Pick up the pieces
Candy and recordings
And some things that make me smile
I put them in a bag and drive away for a while
it all amounts to nothing when nothing is what you want
I could have a fancy car and a house in the sun
But its you I wish I had hidden under my bed

And every turn I make I get more scared
Every smile I fake I get more sad
I can't shake away these blues Ive had
Still everyday I try to pick up the pieces

I know that I'd be happy if I led a shallow life
But now its much too late to even go back in time
I'd be laughing at it if it wasn't for the pain
Still i have some good news:
Think I'm almost barely sane
Another good thing I've found:
You cant get lower than the ground

And every turn I make I get more scared
Every smile I fake I get more sad
I can't shake away these blues Ive had
Still everyday I try to pick up the pieces

I'm not ok but its alright
I'm not alright but I'll be fine
Try something simplier this time
I need a little hand to fall in line

And every turn I make I get more scared
Every smile I fake I get more sad
I can't shake away these blues Ive had
Still everyday I try to pick up the pieces
Im not having fun trying to pick up the pieces.
Track Name: California (I'm Outta Here, Bitch)
In my dreams I see California
Don't u say that I didnt warn ya
I'll be leaving in December
And I hope that you will remember
The times we've spent together
When you had a shoulder to cry on
And if you miss me, just know

That I never really loved you
I never really loved you
I never loved you
Well, that's what I tell myself

In my new blues I know I can choose
Where to walk and where I stand
And when you call me I won't be home
I'll be kicking it under the Cali sun
And it'll be so much fun
I'll wish I never knew you
and if you miss me, just know

That I never really loved you
I never really loved you
I never loved you
At least that's what I tell myself!
Track Name: Losing you
I wanna walk with my own legs
Don't wanna go where you have treaded
Don't wanna feel the fear I feel right now
I won't look back on an empty feeling"
But what we had was larger than life
The simple math is you + me = no one

The truth Im coming to is that

I'm losing you
There's nothing I can do
Except accept the simple truth
The truth you're gone

I care much less about what you're thinking
I know much more about what I should do
And we both know that none of this is true

I gotta get rid of this rear view mirror
In which you appear to be closer than you are
My greatest fear: we'll never be apart
For what I can tell so far

Im losing you
There's nothing I can do
Except accept the simple truth
The truth you're gone

I asked you where you were going
But I didn't want to know
I got my answer from her
And I guess it goes to show
That I'm losing you
There's nothing I can do
Except accept the simple truth
The truth you're gone
Track Name: All this time
I'm dreaming of movies
I'm dreaming of faces
I am now moving towards another brand new day
You think you're scared but it's just cause you're so secure
And now your castle crumbles
And you don't know where to look for some help
You think they might help
Cause you think they can understand but they give a damn
Well, most things must end but some things just never start
And I don't know who's gonna play my part
Cuz I've spent

All this time thinking I've had some good luck
And all this time thinking someone would understand
And all this time thinking I've seen thru fog
All this time just to find out what I had wasn't enough

Look up at the sky and tell me what you see
I see your face in the clouds but do you see me?
I don't think I understand but you say you do
And it just makes no sense
When all you need is you to carry your own load
But it ain't just the bricks that make up the road
Do you know where you're headed
Cuz I sure as hell don't
And I need help to figure it out

All this time thinking I've had some good luck
And all this time thinking someone would understand
And all this time thinking I've seen thru fog
All this time just to find out what I had wasn't enough
Track Name: Drugs
One to go to sleep, one to wake up
One to believe that I don't need make up
Two right before I eat
Twice a day it's all I need
Don't have to fall apart, don't have to be afraid
I just dont remember now what I did yesterday
Right after I lost control but it's no biggie cuz I know

The drugs are working fine, baby
And I don't see no cloudy skies today
The drugs are working just fine
And I don't see no dragons in my sky tonight

Take happiness and swallow it whole
Don't leave your sadness and shit all over the floor
Cuz you've got visit and you must be nice
If you're not you'll pay the price

The drugs are working fine, baby
And I don't see no cloudy skies today
The drugs are working just fine
And I don't see no dragons in my sky tonight

You're strong enoguh and you don't need them
But think about it, why would you leave them?
When the drugs are working fine, baby
And I don't see no cloudy skies today

The drugs are working just fine
And I don't see no dragons in my sky tonight
Track Name: Maybe Today
Got myself a brand new smile
And for a while I'll keep myself happy
Got no doorbell, got no phone
Being alone is a test for your soul
And I think that I can pass this test

Maybe today I'll be OK
I found a better place to stay
Maybe today I'll be OK
I know I'm bound to find my way

Get a good heart for your soul
Keep control when things seem to go wrong
Don't get caught up in the stress
Things will pass before you blink your eyes
Blink your eyes and smile for me my baby

Maybe today I'll be ok
I found a better place to stay
Maybe today I'll be ok
I know I'm bound to find my way
