In 2012 the band won the contest "Som Para Todos", which included a concert at the Planeta Terra Festival in São Paulo and a distribution contract with Deckdisc.
According to keyboardist Chris Botarelli, the band's name does not mean anything special; it was a mere sugestion of vocalist Emily Barreto's mother that ended up pleasing the band members after they failed to reach an agreement.[2] At the same occasion, she also explained that the band don't see a problem at writing English lyrics since the public from Rio Grande do Norte (the band's home state) has been receiving it well.
In October 2012, the band released their first EP, Stereochrome, with four tracks. In may 2014, it was released their first album by Deckdisc, modeHuman, containing 15 tracks including four songs re-recorded from the EP.
In 2014, they played at the FIFA Fan Fest event in Natal, during the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
Thievery
Far From Alaska Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Got here in this station and Someone took my love away
May I have your attention? I think I shouldn’t be afraid
But in this freaky station, I saw, you took my love away
Now it’s yours
Now it’s yours
Now it’s yours (2x)
‘Cause my love is tough, you should hide and disappear (2x)
I've lost a little love on a central station
I've lost a little love on a central station
I've lost a little love on a central station (2x)
I’ve lost a little love
I’ve lost a little love
I’ve lost a little love (2x)
Man, if I were you I would run
‘Cause my love is tough, you should hide and disappear (2x)
Now it’s yours
Now it’s yours
Now it’s yours (2x)
Man, if I were you I would run
‘Cause my love is tough, you should hide and disappear (2x)
The song "Thievery" by Far From Alaska speaks to the aftermath of heartbreak and the difficulty of finding closure. The song opens with the singer requesting attention, as they have something important to say. The use of repetition in the song's opening lines help to emphasize the urgency of the singer's message as he addresses a person who has taken their love away. The singer tries to approach the situation courageously, realizing that they shouldn't be afraid, but his observation of what has happened in the train station makes him feel vulnerable and helpless in the face of his loss.
The chorus brings a change in tempo, as the singer addresses the person who took his love away directly. He warns the person that they should hide and disappear because his love is tough, using vivid language to express his emotional pain. The verses of the song are relatively short, repeating a few lines each to bring home the point that love can be lost in no time, even in a public place like a central station. The repeated lines in the song seem to echo the singer's deep sense of disappointment and disbelief as he repeats and affirms the reality of the situation.

+Rodrigo Matos Uma fodendo banda, realmente merecem muito sucesso

O som da banda é ótimo, me passa muita verdade. Portanto não vejo problema que as músicas sejam em inglês, pois às vezes as músicas surgem em inglês na mente do artista, e por que interromper esse processo?
Infelizmente algumas pessoas estão presas à regras e coisas que só limitam o artista.
A arte é livre e deve ser expressada da maneira que o artista quiser.

+Eliane Gondim CONCORDO! ROCK TEM QUE SER EM INGLÊS.
ROCK EM PORTUGUES FICA UMA BOSTA, SALVO RARAS EXCEÇÕES.

@Eliane Gondim LACROU! Se o poema, música ou o que for saiu em ingLês não tem o que fazer!
Quem fala isso é porque não sabe o que é parir arte em inglês pois nunca o fez!
Pedro H. Fonseca
@Eliane Gondim Falou tudoooo!

@Eliane Gondim exatamente, é normal que os artistas que têm um vasto conhecimento de inglês começem a pensar em inglês a ponto de ser difícil traduzir ideias inteiras pra português, e mais difícil ainda no caso de músicas
INGLÊS NA REAL TIPS
O país não investe tanto em rock por que percebe que ele nos abre a mente.

@Diego Turco porque empresário quer lucro e rock alternativo não dá lucro. O estado tem que investir em cultura, seja ela qual for pra dar oportunidade de mostrar a diversidade cultural, não pra ter lucro. Por isso existem editais de incentivo à cultura. Se deixar na lei do mercado, só quem dá lucro será incentivado. Dá pra fazer um paralelo na ciência, com pesquisa de base.
