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.

Só O Tempo Vai Dizer
Leonardo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Deixe assim, dê mais um tempo
Espere o coração decidir
O que vai ser depois desse momento
Será que é pra sempre
Será que é eterno
Pingos de verão
Ou chuva de inverno
Não quero lágrimas caindo em meu rosto
Só o tempo vai dizer
Se não é uma ilusão
O tempo vai dizer
Se é amor ou só paixão
Leonardo's song "Só O Tempo Vai Dizer" depicts a situation where one has been put in a dilemma of whether to let their feelings become exposed or keep them suppressed. The lyrics talk about a need to be cautious and take time before making any decisions. The line "Não fale nada agora pra mim" means "Don't say anything to me right now," indicating that the singer is not yet certain of what they want. The phrase "Deixe assim, dê mais um tempo" translates into "Leave it like that, give it more time," suggesting that the singer wants to hold back and wait for their heart to decide what to do.
The lyrics also bring to light the situation of uncertainty that one may face when attempting to figure out whether a relationship will last. The line "Será que é pra sempre? Será que é eterno?" translates to "Is it forever? Is it eternal?" indicating that the singer is unsure of the long-term viability of the relationship. The phrase "Pingos de verão ou chuva de inverno" meaning "Summer drops or winter rain" suggests that the future of the relationship hangs in balance and can go either way, depending on how things pan out.
As the song comes to a close, the singer emphasizes that only time can reveal whether their feelings are real or likely to fade away. The phrase "Só o tempo vai dizer, Se não é uma ilusão, O tempo vai dizer se é amor ou só paixão" translates to "Only time will tell if it's not an illusion, Time will tell if it's love or just passion," expressing the need to wait and let things unfold naturally before making a decision.
