He was only six years old when his parents bought a baby grand piano, thinking that Brian's musical talents could use a more polished medium. But Brian continued to whistle his songs. He was not drawn to the keyboard. When he was ten years old, Brian began taking piano lessons, but he soon became bored with the lessons. Besides, the piano took time away from his new passion, baseball. So he gave up the piano. His need to compose, however, would not be stopped. His friends would often hear him whistling his newest compositions during practice or games on the baseball diamond. At this young age, Brian was dreaming of becoming a professional baseball player while whistling his own songs.
Brian would occasionally sit down at that nearly forgotten piano. He would improvise at the keyboard, just as he had always improvised with his whistling, playing with the notes until something started sounding just right. He was, without realizing it, teaching himself to play the piano.
Also without intending to do it, Brian was training himself to compose at the piano. By his early twenties, he was composing songs for award-winning children's films. He was also still nurturing his dream of playing professional baseball, but after unsuccessful tryouts with professional teams, he sadly let that dream slip away.
It was during this time that his family suggested he record his personal piano works and release them on CD. He had never seriously considered recording for CD release, but when he recorded the first album in 1996, it was so well received that he started spending all his time composing and recording his own works. Now he jokes that the best thing that ever happened to him was not becoming a professional baseball player.
Brian's albums “Piano Opus” and ”Piano and Light” experiment with odd timings and minimalist concepts. Writing beautiful melodies on top of 7/8 timing is a challenge suited for Brian’s love of mathematics and quest for new ideas in music. He has also achieved great success with his two duet albums "Piano and Cello Duet" and "Piano and Violin Duet", inspiring tens of thousands of piano, violin and cello players to perform Brian's compositions all over the world.
Many of Brian's compositions are used in movies and television commercials around the world and in 2013 Brian was honored as the Honorary Cultural Ambassador for Yeongwol, S. Korea, one of the sites of the 2018 Winter Olympics.
Wind
Brian Crain Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pra não ter que te encarar
Afogo na piscina
Pra você me salvar
Tropeço na escada pra você me pegar
Crio mil feitiços pra tentar te conquistar
Eu só quero brincar com você
Tenho todos que quero
Mas perco o ar quando te vejo
Saio com seus vizinhos
Só pra você me notar
Tropeço na escada pra você me pegar
Crio mil feitiços pra tentar te conquistar
Eu só quero brincar com você
Eu só quero brincar com você
Eu só quero, quero brincar com você
Eu só quero brincar com você
Eu só quero brincar com você
Eu só quero brincar com você
Eu só quero, quero brincar com você
Eu só quero brincar com você
Não me despreze
Eu sou pior que você
Não tenha medo
Eu só quero brincar
The lyrics of Brian Crain's song "Wind" describe the feelings of someone who is infatuated with someone else and is willing to go to great lengths to catch their attention. The opening lines "Finjo ser invisível, Pra não ter que te encarar" ("I pretend to be invisible, So I don't have to face you") express a sense of shyness or insecurity, as the singer doesn't feel confident enough to approach the person they desire. However, they also express a desire to be noticed and saved, as in the line "Afogo na piscina, Pra você me salvar" ("I drown in the pool, So you can save me").
The second verse describes the singer's efforts to impress the object of their affection, such as stumbling on the stairs so that the person can catch them, and trying to use magic to win them over. Despite these efforts, the singer feels inadequate compared to the other people the object of their desire is seeing and feels like they are losing their breath when they see them.
The chorus repeats the line "Eu só quero brincar com você" ("I just want to play with you") several times, indicating a sense of playfulness or lightheartedness to the singer's feelings, but also perhaps a sense of not being taken seriously or considered as a serious romantic interest. The final lines "Não me despreze, Eu sou pior que você, Não tenha medo, Eu só quero brincar" ("Don't despise me, I'm worse than you, Don't be afraid, I just want to play") emphasize the singer's desire to be accepted and liked, but also express a sense of humility or self-deprecation.
Overall, the lyrics of "Wind" convey a mix of insecurity, longing, and playfulness, as the singer tries to navigate their feelings for someone they desire but feel unworthy of.
