Segurança

The story behind

Engenheiros do Hawaii recorded Segurança in 1986, within their first album, Longe Demais Das Capitais. The song lasts just over three minutes, three minutes that go straight to the point. The lyrics talk about a safe place, but it's not a refuge, rather a sort of prison. It's a song that feels on the skin, with a moving guitar and a voice that carries the story. The band doesn't just play, but puts into motion an idea that stays in the head. The song is heard as something you can't ignore, as if it were telling you something you already knew but hadn't heard.
