Caffeine’s 2006 release "Symphony" brought them under the spotlight. It was produced by Andy Hawkins (Pidgeon Detectives, Wildhearts) and released on Caffeine Records.

The band's second record, entitled "Dressed to the Nines" was released for digital download at the end of 2007.

The third release on Caffeine Records will be Caffeine frontman Scott McEwan's solo EP, entitled "Twilight", for fans of Counting Crows, Eels and Ben Folds.

3) Caffeine were a portuguese rock band. Their line up was:
- Cláudio Mateus (vocals, acoustic guitar)
- Carlos Pascoinho (electric guitar)
- Pedro Pascoinho (drums)
- Pedro Falacho (keys)
- Miguel Falcão (bass)

They were formed in 1997, after having passed through other bands, in Montemor-o-Velho. Initially they were just a cover band that played songs from Leonard Cohen and The Velvet Underground. After ten months, they decided that they had enough stuff to record. Between the 13th and the 20th of July, 1998, they recorded a demo tape with 10 songs, all written by Cláudio Mateus. It was considered one of the best demo tapes of the year by the newspaper Diário de Notícias, thus a very promising band.

Caffeine gave several concerts throughout the country, with occasional appearances in prestigious venues such as Rivoli, Aula Magna and the Ritz Club. High praising in the press led them to perform the first parts of shows from Dakota Suite and Day One at the Super Bock Super Rock festival, in the year of 2000.

Caffeine's debut album was recorded, without the involvement of any record label, in the last months of 2000. Mick Harvey was initially appointed as the producer of the album, which did not happen due to schedule incompatibilities. Despite all this, by suggestion of Mick Harvey came Tony Cohen who participated in the mixing and in the post-production of the album. The album was released by Universal. The group opened concerts for the icelanders Sigur Rós at the Centro Cultural de Belém and for Nick Cave as well.

The album had a somewhat cold reception, even by admirers of the band, which led to some dismay in the elements of the group and a prolonged hiatus despite of the existence of a contract for one more album (which was released posthumously by the Barcelos record label Honeysound, named "Last Shot"). The band split in 2005. Cláudio Mateus formed Electric Willow in 2006, and the other elements of the band engaged in other projects.

One Way
Caffeine Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wanna live my way,
dont say its the wrong way,
but its mine.
just to become something,
to become someone this time.

(chorus)
now theres one way to say

we never wanted anything
but now there's one way to say
we never needed anything.

should we expect nine to five?
i dont want that life for me.
cause we deserve so much more
than be your best for and me.

(chorus) x2

(whispered chorus)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Caffeine's song "One Way" speak to the importance of individualism and the desire to live life on one's own terms. The opening lines, "I wanna live my way, don't say it's the wrong way, but it's mine," set the tone for the rest of the song, emphasizing the artist's desire to make their own path and be true to themselves, rather than following the expectations of others or society as a whole.

The second line of the first verse, "just to become something, to become someone this time," speaks to the idea of self-improvement and growth. The artist wants to become something better, something more, and is willing to do so on their own terms.

In the chorus, the repetition of the phrase "we never wanted anything" and "we never needed anything" suggests a rejection of materialism and a focus on more meaningful pursuits. The whispered chorus adds a sense of urgency to the song, emphasizing the idea that time is running out and one must take control of their own life before it's too late.

Overall, "One Way" is a powerful anthem for anyone who has ever felt shackled by the expectations of others and yearns to live life on their own terms. It's a call to embrace individualism and reject conformity, and a reminder that we all have the power to become something great if we're willing to take bold steps and chart our own path.
