1) Holger is an indie rock band from São Paulo, Brazil. The band started out as a musical project called That’s All Folks in which friends from different bands like Efeito Colateral and Cagedream got together for jam sessions melding folk, country, indiepop and neofolk music. After recording over 30 songs and releasing 5 EPs online the guys decided to turn the project into a permanent band, Holger, re-working several songs by That’s All Folks and recording new material with influences from bands like I’m from Barcelona, Pavement, New Order, Flaming Lips and Broken Social Scene. In 2008, after many months of rehearsal, Holger emerged from the studio to promote their songs and play a series of gigs. In 2009 they played SXSW. The band has also opened for No Age and Matt & Kim in São Paulo. All their songs are in English.

Holger Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And we built our love in a nasty way
She was surprised by the landscape
A dirty mirror could reflect a dream one had when one was safe
There's still some work to do
An unlit love needs a hut for two
It would be such a waste to make us wait
I am in doubt that in this world there is a place where people can just find who they deserve
She appeared in a sunny day
And we built our love in a gentle way
The past has a bitter taste
Let's dive our bodies in a see of lit up souls and fool us again
Can you feel me when I'm out of sight?
When I'm struggling not to fall behind
For all that came at last is just a hopeless quest
For the disdainful eye of fate ain't really something one should trust
I am in doubt that in this world there is a place where people can just find who they deserve
In Holger's song "Caribbean Nights", the lyrics speak of two different ways that love can be built. In the first verse, the love is described as being built in a "nasty way" and there is still "work to do" to make the love more substantial. The lyrics suggest that the love between the two people is not yet complete and that it requires "a hut for two" before it can stand strong. The idea of a "dirty mirror" possibly reflects the pain and darkness that the past relationship has caused.
The second verse speaks of a love that is built in a "gentle way" and the past is described as having a "bitter taste". The suggestion is that the past has been left behind and they can now enjoy the present moment. The lyrics suggest that there is still some uncertainty about the future of this love, or of any love, and that the "disdainful eye of fate ain't really something one should trust". The song ends on an uncertain note, with the lyrics suggesting that finding the one you deserve is just a "hopeless quest".

She appeared in a foggy day
On a day when everything was unclear, she entered my life
And we built our love in a nasty way
Our love was built on a difficult path and may have had some unpleasant moments
She was surprised by the landscape
The world around her was unlike anything she had experienced before
A dirty mirror could reflect a dream one had when one was safe
Even in a place full of chaos, one can still hold onto dreams from a time when they felt secure
There's still some work to do
Our love is not perfect and we still need to put in effort to make it better
An unlit love needs a hut for two
To grow our love, we need a place we can call our own and be together
It would be such a waste to make us wait
We shouldn't delay in taking action to evolve our relationship
For the disdainful eye of fate ain't really something one should trust
The future is uncertain and we can't rely on fate to determine our happiness
I am in doubt that in this world there is a place where people can just find who they deserve
I'm not sure if the world is fair enough to reward people with what they truly deserve
She appeared in a sunny day
One day, she came into my life when everything was bright and clear
And we built our love in a gentle way
We took a more peaceful path to create our love, avoiding conflict whenever we could
The past has a bitter taste
Things that have already happened can be difficult to let go of and may still have negative effects
Let's dive our bodies in a see of lit up souls and fool us again
Let's surround ourselves with positivity and hope, and allow ourselves to be foolish in love
Can you feel me when I'm out of sight?
Even when we are apart, I hope you can still feel my love
When I'm struggling not to fall behind
During tough times, I'm trying my best not to let our relationship slip away
For all that came at last is just a hopeless quest
After all that has happened, it may feel like our journey is hopeless and without a clear goal
