The band Casa Murilo (dedicated to Murilo Vilas Boas Nascimento, housemate to the boys in Brazil and a well respected TV host) was started soon after their arrival in Oslo. In September 2009 the band was completed with the addition of the four Norwegian musicians Fredrik Baden, Rudi Leo J. Johansen, Håkon Møller and Sturla Hinze. Within a year the band had been embraced by P3 Urørt, invited to play at the Norwegian Wood festival, played as a support band for Kråkesølv and all over the country. In September 2010 the band went into the studio to record their first full length album, at first glance a festive and friendly singalong affair, though shot through with serious undertones.
After being invited to record a track for the charity compilation album "Hjertestups" in aid of the Tyrili Foundation in 2010 along with Norwegian greats like Bigbang, Dum Dum Boys, and Sivert Høyem, their song "Drunken Promises" was listed on P3 national radio, and the band visited Popsalongen where they performed a brilliant version of Lykke Li's hit "Get Some" which can be heard on the band's website.
In addition to the excellent reception of the band's recorded material the band has had a reputation as a great live act since the beginning and have developed a warm relationship with a loyal fan base that shows up at concert after concert.
"Lifting Ships" is an album written about the band's inception back in the hazy days of Brazil and the characters that inspired them to make music, the challenges of moving to Norway and the sustenance they found in their new home. Casa Murilo have been very well received by Oslo's pop scene, and this album shows that they can't be easily compared with any other Oslo band.
The album was recorded in at Six Feet Over Recording Studios and produced by Sjur Lyseid.
"Lifting Ships" is released on Spoon Train Audio / Tuba on the 4th March 2011.
In 2012, Casa Murilo are well on their way to building a loyal and enthusiastic fan base in Norway, something they proved at the Scandinavian showcase-festival By:Larm, held in Oslo, playing to a crowd of 1000+ in February 2012.
Musikknyheter.no wrote of their debut, ”Lifting Ships” (released 2011) that it contained ”wonderful, pop-rock songs, to be both loved and adored”. This charm is also evident whenever they play live and we are sure that they will deliver a fantastic atmosphere when they play on the main stage at Norway’s biggest festival ”Øya” on August 9th 2012, where after a rapturous gig in 2011 they were labelled ”The Best Band In Norway” by music magazine Plan B. Those lucky enough to watch them are in for a joyous musical experience of the highest class.
The band was started by two Englishmen who, via two Norwegian girls they met in Brazil, miraculously found themselves in Oslo, Norway in 2008. The 6 man, eclectic band quickly created a buzz on the indie underground scene for their catchy songs and energetic show and, with their first ever single playlisted on the country’s biggest radio station ”P3”, their reputation has only grown. They have won fans at festivals and clubs all over the country for the last 3 years. Now is the time for them to charm music lovers all over Europe.
At the moment they are hard at work on their second album, to be released by
Sony Music Entertainment Norway AS in Autumn 2012.

Take No More
Casa Murilo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm with the others dancing around chalk lines on the floor
And I can take it, can take it, can take it, can take no more
I heard a rumour that you've taken it far too far
I've seen your lovers lined up and drowning themselves at the bar
And I can take it, can take it, can take it, can take no more x2
So dance on your own under crystal lights
And see what you've done x2
I've seen the vultures circling over your bones
She's drying her eyes and she's trying her luck on your throne
She's black and she's blue - keep your heartstrings in check
If I close my eyes I'll be hitting the deck, girl
You are the car crash and I am the wreck
I can take it, can take it, can take it, can take no more x2
These red lights are keeping you out in the cold at night
So dance on your own under crystal lights
And see what you've done
These red lights are keeping you out in the cold at night
So dance on your own under crystal lights
And see what you've done x2
I can't stand it x4
I can take it no more x4
I can't stand it x4
I can take it no more x4
I can't stand it x4
I can take it no more x4
NO!
I can't stand it x4
I can take it no more x4
I can't stand it x4
I can take it no more x4
The lyrics of "Take No More" by Casa Murilo capture the emotions of a person who has had enough of a toxic relationship or situation. The singer of the story sees the people they care about being hurt and taken advantage of by someone they know, possibly an ex-partner. The reference to "brothers lined up and marched out the door" could suggest that this person has a history of mistreating people in their life. The singer and their friends are dancing and having a good time, but they can no longer ignore what's happening around them. They can't take it anymore.
The second verse talks about how this person's behavior has consequences. There's a rumor that they've taken things too far, and their lovers are experiencing the repercussions. The imagery of lovers "drowning themselves at the bar" paints a picture of people trying to escape the pain of a broken heart. The singer of the story could be someone who has tried to intervene or help, but now they have reached their limit. They can no longer tolerate the situation, and they are ready to take action.
The chorus repeats "I can take it no more" multiple times to emphasize the frustration and determination to end this situation. The final verse talks about how the singer can see the destruction caused by this person's behavior. The vultures circling over their bones could represent the consequences of their actions catching up with them. The person's new lover is also not immune to their behavior, and the singer warns them to "keep your heartstrings in check." The song ends with a resounding "No!" as the singer takes a stand and cuts ties with this toxic situation.

Greeting from Bangladesh! This is beautiful. Show casts the Dhaka we tend to avoid. But both the songs just jams so well with surrounding urban jungle. Beautiful! And, I loved the way you edited it. Thank you for this. :)

Dear @casa murilo, I believe you also had a concert in rabindra shorobor, in dhanmondi dhaka. And if I am right, it was another soulful performance from both of the bands. I would like you to check for "first 30 seconds" of the video here, to reconfirm these are not from bangladesh. I love your performance anyway. Looking forward to experience more. Good wishes

This is a fantastic fusion of two songs sung in complete different language, yet they went really well. Congratulations to both bands in making it so melodious and a success....
By the way, I was also searching for original video of "Take no more" by Casa Murilo, but apart from one stage performance, could not find one.... Any suggestion??
