The band's foundations are really quite self-evident: keep it honest, keep it simple, keep it rockin', and people will respond.
And people have. In just a year together, the band has gone from playing primarily small shows with friends in attendance, to playing packed clubs in major Iowa markets like The Reverb in Waterloo and the Blue Moose Tap House in Iowa City.
In March 2010, Fitzgerald showcased at the Red Gorilla Music Festival in Austin, TX, during the busiest and biggest event in the business, South by Southwest.
Fitzgerald's debut album, Nothing Left But The Leaving, was cut entirely live on the floor at Catamount Recording in Cedar Falls, IA, in just 12 hours. Frontman Matthew Brewer explained the choice to make the album in such a fashion by simply stating, "That's the way all of my favorite albums were made. It's the way almost all of the greatest records in rock n roll were made. It's just the way we cut our teeth."
Fitzgerald is taking a stab at sonic experimentation with their second album. Recording at home in Maynard, rather than in a rented studio space, has freed the band up to try anything and everything they want. There is no timetable for the album's release.
A Felicidade
Fitzgerald Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Felicidade sim
A felicidade é como a gota
De orvalho numa pétala de flor
Brilha tranquila
Depois de leve oscila
E cai como uma lágrima de amor
A felicidade do pobre parece
A grande ilusão do carnaval
A gente trabalha o ano inteiro
Por um momento de sonho
Pra fazer a fantasia
De rei ou de pirata ou jardineira
E tudo se acabar na quarta-feira
Tristeza não tem fim
Felicidade sim
A felicidade é como a pluma
Que o vento vai levando pelo ar
Voa tão leve
Mas tem uma vida breve
Precisa que haja vento sem parar
Precisa que haja vento sem parar
Precisa que haja vento sem parar
Tristeza não tem fim
The lyrics of Fitzgerald's song "A Felicidade" capture the dichotomy between happiness and sadness. The first stanza juxtaposes the endlessness of sorrow with the fleeting nature of happiness. The second and third stanzas paint images of how happiness appears to be fragile and fleeting like a drop of dew on a petal or a feather carried away by the wind. The final stanza concludes the song on a note of melancholy, with the repetition of the first line emphasizing the cyclical nature of life's joys and sorrows.

Tristeza não tem fim
Sadness is infinite and never-ending
Felicidade sim
Happiness, on the other hand, is possible and attainable
A felicidade é como a gota
De orvalho numa pétala de flor
Brilha tranquila
Depois de leve oscila
E cai como uma lágrima de amor
Happiness is fleeting like a dewdrop on a flower petal. It glistens briefly before falling softly like a tear of love
A felicidade do pobre parece
A grande ilusão do carnaval
A gente trabalha o ano inteiro
Por um momento de sonho
Pra fazer a fantasia
De rei ou de pirata ou jardineira
E tudo se acabar na quarta-feira
For the poor, happiness is like a carnival illusion. They work all year for one moment of dreaming and dressing up as a king, a pirate or a gardener. But eventually, it all ends and reality sets in
A felicidade é como a pluma
Que o vento vai levando pelo ar
Voa tão leve
Mas tem uma vida breve
Precisa que haja vento sem parar
Precisa que haja vento sem parar
Precisa que haja vento sem parar
Happiness is like a feather being carried by the wind. It is light, and its life is short. It needs a continuous gust of wind to keep it going. It needs to keep moving to survive

Alguém sabe o nome da música que Ella canta em português que tem uma frase que fala de café?
