BRAINWORMS I is the first album from this group/project fully idealized by Rafael Bittencourt who has a discography of over 16 titles, gold records (in Brazil and Japan), over one million records sold and wrote some of the modern melodic-metal hymns such as ANGELS CRY, TIME, STAND AWAY, Z.I.T.O., MAKE BELIEVE, METAL ICARUS, REBIRTH, ACID RAIN, THE SHADOW HUNTER, THE VOICE COMMANDING YOU among many other songs that for years inspire an assorted audience and motivate many hopeful musicians to improve themselves on their instruments.
Brainworms is a term created by Oliver Sacks, a famous American Neuron-scientist, to name certain types of melodies that eventually “stick” into our memory and we feel hard to get it off. Curiosly, Rafael had the melodies for the songs trapped in his mind right when he was reading Oliver Sacks's book “Musicophilia: Tales of Music and the Brain”. Inspired by this concept, he wrote the 11 songs of the album.
Accurate musicianship, talent, originality, a pioneer instinct, technique and feeling are just a few of the adjectives used to qualify this musician, owner of an unique sensibility, known as one of the most important of his style. And those are the same qualities found in the upcoming CD BRAINWORMS I from his recently born group: the BITTENCOURT PROJECT
The release of BRAINWORMS I is expected for October 2008, same month as ANGRA's 17th anniversary. This album comes as a gift for the fans that have been supporting this musician's career all over the world.
The BITTENCOURT PROJECT is been released simultaneously in Japan (JVC VICTOR) and Brazil (VOICE MUSIC). A tour might happen in Japan early 2009. And it is planned to be released in USA and Europe on late 2008.

The Dark Side Of Love
Bittencourt Project Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Silencing my tears
Lightening up once more
The Dark Side of Love
Fears turning into tears
Please don't say a word
The silence of your glare and the void
Year after year
I lived in a world of make believe
I turned off the lights
laid on my bed
The face in the mirror said I was sad
So I decided. I swored to God
One day I'll drive out these shadows of love
Year after year
Your write the words and I play the scene
I turn on the light
Get off the bed
Stare at the mirror but still I am sad
Make all my vows and I swear to God
One day I'll drive out these shadows of love!
With all my heart and all my faith
I hope it's not too late for a change
Year after year
I lived in a world of make believe
Now I've decided
To howl at the world
And open the windows that lead to my soul
I've realized all on my on
that all my sorrow has finally gone
With all my heart and all my faith
I know it's not too late for a change
I know it's never too late for a change
Words silencing my tears
Lithening up once more
