It all started in 2014, in the city of Belo Horizonte, when Pedro Calais decided to post a video of one of his compositions on Facebook; a friend who was the promoter of events at a concert hall saw him and encouraged him to form a band to perform at the venue. Therefore, Calais decided to call his childhood friends Otavio Cardoso, Glauco Borges, Francisco Jardim and Breno Braga. The group started their career performing at this concert hall in the city, playing their own songs, which are credited to all of the band.

In May 2016, the quintet released their debut studio album titled Seja o Que Eu Querer. In February 2018, an acoustic version of the song "Deixa" was released in partnership with singer Ana Gabriela. The song, in this version, became a success, being among the most played in the country, giving visibility to the group to participate in television programs and sign a contract with the Sony record company. In June 2019, they released their second studio album named Things of the Generation.

On September 12, 2020, the band would perform two shows in drive-in format in the city of Nova Lima, Minas Gerais. However, drummer Tio Wilson (Breno Braga) had an indisposition in the interval between the two performances and died from a cardiorespiratory arrest.

Ô, lua
Ô, lua

Ô, lua
Como é que esqueceram de fazer um som pra ti?
Na tua, encontro a luz e calmaria que eu sempre quis
Ô, lua
Como é que esqueceram de fazer um som pra ti?

Na tua, encontro a luz e calmaria que eu sempre quis

Você cheia de fase, eu cheio de mania
Quem dera eu também pudesse te ter de dia
Pra te ter mais um tiquinho, eu ia até o Japão
Dava a volta em meio mundo sem ter avião
Não é papo de ganância, nem de possessão
Se a vida fosse à noite o mundo seria tão bom

Ô, lua
Como é que esqueceram de fazer um som pra ti?
Na tua, encontro a luz e calmaria que sempre quis

E eu que sempre me entendi melhor no escuro
Não ficou claro pra mim meu tamanho no mundo
Como é que pode uma coisa que é tão pequena assim
Fazer um estrago tão grande dentro de mim?
Não é papo de tristeza, é só uma opinião
Se a vida fosse à noite o mundo seria tão bom

Ô, lua
Como é que esqueceram de fazer um som pra ti?
Na tua, encontro a luz e calmaria que eu sempre quis
Ô, lua

Como é que esqueceram de fazer um som pra ti?
Na tua, encontro a luz e calmaria que eu sempre quis

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Lagum's song "Lua" convey a sense of admiration and longing for the moon. The singer wonders how people could have forgotten to make a song dedicated to such a beautiful celestial body. The moon represents a source of light and tranquility that the singer has always desired. It is a place where they find solace and peace.

The second verse reflects on the difference between the moon and the singer. The moon goes through different phases, while the singer is filled with quirks and idiosyncrasies. They express the wish to have the moon during the day, implying a desire for its constant presence. The singer is willing to go to great lengths, even traveling to Japan without a plane, just to have a little more time with the moon. It is not a matter of greed or possession but rather an appreciation for the beauty and serenity the moon represents.

The bridge of the song reveals the singer's affinity for darkness. They feel that their place in the world is better understood in the dark. However, they acknowledge that the moon, despite being small in size, has the power to cause great damage within them. It is not a reflection of sadness, but rather an opinion that the world would be better if it operated like the night.
