By the age of fifteen she had decided to become a musician, and by her late teens she had studied music theory, as well as the violão (nylon-stringed Brazilian guitar). Her songs reveal her many influences, which include samba, valsa, choro, soul, rhythm and blues, hip hop, reggae, afrobeat, and electrojazz. In particular, she cites as influences the music of Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Lauryn Hill, and Erykah Badu.
By her late teens Céu was performing onstage with major artists and exploring the repertoire of the marchinhas (turn-of-the-century carnival music). Soon after that she relocated temporarily to New York City, where she had a chance meeting with fellow Brazilian musician Antonio Pinto, who became her flatmate while he was going through some financial difficulties. She later learned that he was actually a distant cousin, and their relationship was renewed when he teamed up with lead producer Beto Villares, composer of the musical score for the film O Ano em que Meus Pais Saíram de Férias, to help her record her album.
Espaçonave
Céu Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Eu quero te levar pra viagem
Voltar pra nave mãe pra despressurizar
Deixar o sol me beijar, me beijar
Pra não deixar o seletor oscilar
E sintonizar freqüência errada
The lyrics of Céu's song Espaçonave are about escaping from the world's problems and going on a journey through the universe. The singer wants to take their loved one on this journey with them, leaving the planet and returning to their mother ship to decompress. They want to bask in the warmth of the sun and forget about their troubles for a while. The singer then mentions the importance of staying focused so as not to stray from their path or get lost in the vast universe.
At its core, Espaçonave is a song about finding solace in escapism. The idea of leaving the Earth and exploring the universe is a common theme found in science fiction, and it is clear that Céu draws inspiration from this genre for this song. The singer of the song seeks to find a sense of safety and security in a place far from their problems, where they can simply be at peace without any distractions. The idea of not letting the "seletor" oscillate and staying on the right frequency is a clear metaphor for not getting sidetracked from their goal.

Esse som de pássaro na verdade é o capitão do mato. No mato grosso chamam de biscateiro. É um minúsculo pássaro com um dos cantos mais altos da floresta. Gracias Amazonia
