1) a rock music project from Italy.
2) a Brazilian country music singer from Goiás state.
2) a Brazilian gaucha music singer from Rio Grande do Sul state.
3) Serbian neoclassic metal band.
4) Leonardo Ringo, an Indonesian musician, Zeke and The Popo Band, from Jakarta
Inspired by Lou Reed, Richard Hawley, Jeff Buckley, and Tom Waits, Leonardo (drummer from Zeke and the Popo, Indonesia) decided to record his own album which to be named "The Sun" from November 2008 to January 2009. It consists of 13 tracks, each brings a warm atmosphere and a chaotic experience at the same time. Blended with acoustic ambiant, combined with brass section, string section and even gospel choir. A little bit of chamber pop, jazz, swing and a drip of rockabilly, hopefully brings Leonardo to a refreshment for Indonesian pop-culture male-vocal scene. Produced by Hendra Perdana a.k.a. Anda (ex-guitarist of a well-known Indonesian rock band, Bunga) and Dharmo Soedirman (a jazz activist from Komunitas Jazz Kemayoran), this album is a melting pot from an icy thick wall from the two genres. Supported by Rayendra Yuditia (ZATPP), Susan Agiwitanto (Tika and In Memoriam), Emil Hussein (NAIF) on bass, Christo Putra on drums, Anda on electric guitars, Dharmo Soedirman on piano, Mian Meuthia and Mian Tiara as backing vocals, Melanie Wilson from "Amazing in Bed" as guest vocals, Ricky Surya (White Shoes & the Couples Company) on cello, Filipus Davefriz on percussions, will make this album a heat; like the sun, in 2009.
Leonardo is a project born from Trent Gardner (Magellan) with the aim to put on a record the life of the great italian genius Leonardo Da Vinci.

Felicidade
Leonardo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
E a saudade no meu peito ainda mora
E é por isso que eu gosto lá de fora
Porque sei que a falsidade não vigora
A minha casa fica lá detrás do mundo
Onde eu vou em um segundo quando começo a cantar
O pensamento parece uma coisa à toa
The lyrics to Leonardo's song Felicidade speak about the departure of happiness and the lingering feeling of longing that remains. The singer expresses that even though happiness has left, he still loves to be somewhere else because he knows that falsehood does not prevail. He then continues to say that his home is located in a place far beyond the world, as he arrives there in a second when he begins to sing. He believes that although thoughts may seem trivial, they have the ability to make a person soar and rise above their circumstances.
The song portrays the juxtaposition between sadness and joy, truth and falsehood, and the power of the mind. The singer suggests that although happiness may leave, holding onto hope and motivation can help one navigate through difficult situations. The lyrics highlight the importance of positive thoughts in overcoming adversity and finding a sense of comfort within oneself.

Felicidade foi se embora
Happiness has gone away
E a saudade no meu peito ainda mora
But the longing still lingers in my heart
E é por isso que eu gosto lá de fora
That's why I like being somewhere else
Porque sei que a falsidade não vigora
Because I know that falsehood doesn't rule
A minha casa fica lá detrás do mundo
My home is beyond the world
Onde eu vou em um segundo quando começo a cantar
Where I can go in a second when I start singing
O pensamento parece uma coisa à toa
Thoughts may seem like nothing important
Mas como é que a gente voa quando começa a pensar
But see how we fly when we start to think
