Smoke City
Smoke City was a London, UK band whose music blended modern styles like acid jazz and trip hop with Brazilian styles like samba and bossa nova. Vocalist Nina Miranda formed Smoke City around 1994 with former schoolmate Mark Brown and guitarist Chris Franck, formerly of the Brighton-based Brazilian percussion group Batu.
Smoke City are best known for their single Underwater Love, which was a major hit in 1996. The music video is notable for predating the film The Matrix in its use of bullet time motion.

In 1997 the band released their first album, Flying Away, which included several hits like Underwater Love and Mr. Gorgeous (and Miss Curvaceous).
While Flying Away was hard to classify because it had everything from light trip-hop to gentle guitar ballads, Smoke City's next album, Heroes of Nature (released in 2001), was considered too odd even by fans, combining even more styles and incorporating dance beats in some of the tracks. An extended version of Heroes of Nature had three more tracks than the original, one of them being a cover of John Lennon's famous song Imagine.
The group disbanded in 2002.

Underwater Love
Smoke City Lyrics
This must be underwater love
The way I feel it slipping all over me
This must be underwater love
The way I feel it
O que que é esse amor, d'água
Deve sentir muito parecido a esse amor
O que que é esse amor, d'água
Deve sentir muito parecido a esse amor
Esse amor com paixão, ai
Esse amor com paixão, ai que coisa
After the rain comes sun
After the sun comes rain again
After the rain comes sun
After the sun comes rain again
After the rain comes sun
After the sun comes rain again
This must be underwater love
The way I feel it slipping all over me
This must be underwater love
The way I feel it
O que que é esse amor, d'água
Eu sei que eu não quero mais nada
Follow me now
To a place you only dreamt of
Before I came along
When I first saw you
I was deep in clear blue water
The sun was shining
Calling me to come and see you
I touched your soft skin
And you jumped in with your eyes closed
And a smile upon your face
Você vem, você cai
Você vem e cai
E vem aqui pra cá
Porque eu quero te beijar na sua boca
Que coisa louca
Vem aqui pra cá
Eu quero te beijar na sua boca
Ô que boca gostosa
After the rain comes sun
After the sun comes rain again
After the rain comes sun
After the sun comes rain again
Cai, cai e tudo tudo cai
E tudo cai pra lá e pra cá
Pra lá e pra cá
E vamos nadar
E vamos nadar e tudo tudo dá
This must be underwater love
The way I feel it slipping all over me
This must be underwater love
The way I feel it, oh

I heard this track on an early morning long-distance bus in 1997, on my way to university, as a first year student, to occupy the dormitory room. The driver was listening to it as he waited in the parking lot for departure. Slowly the bus started moving and the music blended into the noise of the journey. For some reason, the melody stuck with me, but because I didn't understand much English, I couldn't recall any of the lyrics later on to search for the words by a search engine. It came 1998, 1999, 2000, and so on. Mp3, FTP, Warez, and search engines like Lycos, Yahoo already existed. Later, google came along too. Almost every school year, when I had access to the internet for a few hours, I would do a couple of test searches for the word that came to mind from the strange music I heard in the sleepy twilight on the bus at dawn: 'waterloo + mp3'. It was as if the singer had sung in the half-dream of the sleepy morning: where am I going now, is there a point to my journey, is there a point to going to that university? She provided the soundtrack to a journey in a life-movie full of doubts. Of course, the city of Waterloo always came up in an online search, and there was no music track with the title or artist Waterloo... So the years went by, I slowly finished university and started working. One workplace, another, then another one, and so on. Internet access was also available at work most of the time, and I searched again 2-3 times each year, but nothing, nowhere, ever came up with the sleepy tune I heard on the bus at dawn, that the bus driver in his knitted sweater was listening in his tiny cab in the light of a hazelnut-sized bulb. And then came 2006, I remember the year well, because there was a moderate earthquake that year, as I nearly fell out of bed while everything was swaying. One afternoon at work, bored, I googled the elusive but never actually heard search word again. My English must have improved by this time, because I wondered what if it wasn't "waterloo" but "waterlove", although it doesn't make much sense, but maybe it's singing about some kind of physical love, carried out submerged under water... Almost immediately I found the music track in question, and that afternoon, in the empty and sleepy classroom, in the twinkling light of the flickering fluorescent tubes, I was able to relive, now wiser by almost a decade, the experience of the early morning long-distance bus ride 9 years earlier, when I travelled to that bygone university.

I'm so glad you managed to find the song again! What a journey!

What a story.
You send text comments essay stereotypical as I do usually.
Well told about the '97 track though this isn't an essay response comment.X

I felt it 🧡

This song is a lesson of Brazilian culture: the instruments, the language, the beat, the vibe, the lyrics...a mix of bossa, samba, maracatu, rap, batuque - symbol of our Afrobrazilian religions and origins. So proud of it! Tks for reminding Brazilians we still got a lot to be proud of despite the shameful circumstances we've lived in.
