1.
De sangue cobrem-se os céus, O Mar e a Estrela d'Alva, Anunciando a régia chegada. O terno abraço envolve A Terra falha, vã, estéril, Despertando-a do torpor. Dominados pelo júbilo do reencontro, Celebram o resplendor da vida, Quebrando o silêncio intemporal.
2.
O olhar de quem fica Espelha o horizonte, Espera por um néctar Que virá de outra fonte. Outros, ávidos buscam Novos prados, sonhos antigos. Em todos o peso da saudade, Entre eles oceanos de esperança. Pais da jovem criança, Tecelões da nova realidade.

The Wheel 04:45
by William Buttler Yeats Through winter-time we call on spring, And through the spring on summer call, And when abounding hedges ring Declare that winter's best of all; And after that there's nothing good Because the spring-time has not come - Nor know that what disturbs our blood Is but its longing for the tomb.
4.
Lingering stupor, Warmly welcomed as my saviour. The inebriated kiss, Passionately driven, Laid burning on my lips. So seducing, it becons me To plunge into its fiery womb. Enraptured lovers in numbing fusion, I and my beloved Absinth...
5.
Chasing the rainbow's end, The green leprechaun over the next bend, Looking for signs in the sky, Knowing not exactly why. Salvation, redemption, and a pot of gold, Just like he's been told, "Heaven's for sale in lovely lots, So hurry now or you'll miss the best spots." Graced, like none other, By a man in a funny hat, Duelling through the order Of the greedy and the fat.
6.
I still remember virtue And all those graceful years. Yet time is never still... It runs indiferent to our will Carving new shapes into our hearts, Thinning down our blood. I still remember love And the way it made us shine. Yet we are never still... Indulging in lust and wine, Fulfilled by power and crime, We brought misery upon all.
7.
Olho o espelho e esta imagem gasta. Será da vista ou das velhas lentes? Os sulcos que o cinzel do tempo gravou, Na face a história da minha vida. Percorro nas velhas marcas A memória das encruzilhadas, Com mãos que não podem ser minhas, Velhas raizes que apontam para o céu. Caem-me os anéis dos dedos E já não lhes reconheço o som. Da minha memória oxidada O gosto é esquecimento. O percurso do velho rio Manchou de ferrugem e lágrimas As grades da minha cela, Onde já nenhuma chave entra. O pôr-do-sol chegou por fim E eu anseio pelo desfecho, Por apagar a vela, Por me oferecer à terra.
8.
When streams of lightning sound And its horrors touch the ground, Hear these notes that daunt my heart. The roar of the thunderous harp, Struck by the wind's enwrapping coil That leads rain to turmoil. Together they are the storm, In Its very essence and form The fear of every generation, In which may have, once, found inspiration. Its chant must never cease, For nature's wrath must be unleashed.
9.
Unveiled, the carnival of illusions Crumbles hastily as once was wrought. Of all deception, nothing lasts. Lament silenced laughter, Grievance froze motion, The landscape twisted and embraced permafrost. We, its children, weep, Singing tunes in its name, Appalled with the reality that remains.

about

Ethereal Neo-Classical compositions, inspired by the essence of Portuguese Fado, brought to life by acoustic string instruments and voice.

released October 6, 2003

"Moments", DWELLING's debut MCD issued two years ago, lay down the foundations for the band's sonority, deeply rooted in the exploration of music in its purest form through the use of stringed instrumentation and voice.

"Humana" follows the same path, yet expands upon DWELLING's musical framework, allowing them not only to improve their skill as musicians and composers, but also to explore and broaden their scope of influences, which encompass, within an acoustic Neo-Classical setting, elements of Jazz and Contemporary Music alongside an ever present undercurrent that draws back to Fado and DWELLING's Portuguese background.

The album allegorically portrays various events of the cycle of human life, from the cradle to the grave, which translate into the various moods found throughout compositions much in the same way that one would balance his feelings towards life as he courses through the joy and radiance of youth into the heavy burden of old age.

Challenging and bold, "Humana" may not be an immediately accessible listen, but it is sure to unveil a world of wonders to those who choose to dwell within it.
