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.

Hey
Leonardo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dizendo que eu não sei viver sem ti
Que não sabe de mim
Hey, eu sei que você gosta de falar
Contar a seus amigos que assim
Eu não posso viver
Hey, não pense que depõe a seu favor
E zombando de mim
Hey, às vezes é melhor amar assim
Que ser amado e não poder sentir
O que eu sinto por ti
Eu sei, você nunca me amou, agora eu sei
Eu não passei de nada em seu viver
Você nunca pensou em me quere, he, he, he, he
Pra que querer fazer de conta e mentir
Você ainda quer se iludir
Pra que falar de mim?
Hey, agora que isso tudo terminou
E como sempre eu fui o perdedor
No seu jogo de amor
Hey, não pense que eu guardo algum rancor
É sempre mais feliz quem mais amou
E quem mais amou fui eu
The lyrics to Leonardo's song Hey revolve around themes of love, dependence, and moving on.

However, he also admits that she has never loved him back and that he was nothing in her life. The song concludes with Leonardo accepting the loss and choosing to move on.
The lyrics to Hey resonate with many people who have experienced the pain of unrequited love. The song's melancholy melody and honest lyrics make it emotionally charged and relatable.

É sempre mais feliz quem mais amou
It's always better for the one who loved more
E quem mais amou fui eu
And I was the one who loved most
