Known in the alternative scenario of São Paulo, Ludov made its breakthrough in 2004, when the video of "Princesa", from their EP "Dois a Rodar" became popular in MTV Brasil, going to "Disk MTV" (Brazilian's TRL). This video was awarded as best independent video the same year at Video Music Brasil, the Brazilian version of MTV VMA.
Ludov's first outing, "Dois a Rodar" EP, featured elements from bolero ("Da Primeira Vez", the title track), rock ballads ("Aconteceu"), pop guitar rock ("Trânsito"), beatlesque pop ("Princesa", including borrowed chords and harmonies from Vanessa and Mauro) and waltz-timed lounge music ("Melancolia").
They released their first album into a Major Label, "O Exercício das Pequenas Coisas" in September 2005. This album had a lot more keyboards and leans toward a poppier sound. Besides pop and rock ("Sério", "Estrelas"), there are more ballads ("É Só Saudade", "Dorme Em Paz" and "Kriptonita"), some MPB ("Esquece e Vai Sorrir") and jovem guarda ("O Dia em Que Seremos Felizes"). Mauro and Habacuque sing lead one song each (piano pop "Sete Anos" and guitar pop "Elastano", respectively).
After cutting four videos ("Kriptonita", "Estrelas", "Dorme Em Paz" and "Esquece e Vai Sorrir"), Ludov recorded a Portuguese version to the song "What I've Been Looking For" from High School Musical (and a accompanying video aired at Brazilian Disney Channel) and released a single ("Sintonia").
Their second album, "Disco Paralelo", was released in June 2007. The band changed slightly their musical style, relying significantly less on keyboards and more on guitars, resulting in a livelier beat.
Todo Esse Ar
Ludov Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Penso em nós dois e o tempo esvai lembranças ruins.
Não posso mais.
Vêm-me à memória os dias bons que ficaram pra trás.
Volta uma vez mais,
O mundo é pequeno sem ter com quem dividir as coisas banais.
Faz muito tempo
A dor é muito pra mim,
E eu não suporto mais andar só pelo jardim.
Me lembra você.
Os teus aromas, formas voláteis do nosso amor.
E todo esse ar pra respirar?
Eu não vou conseguir, faz muito tempo eu sei,
Eu errei mais uma vez,
Quantas mentiras, quantas verdades,
Me esqueci de te contar.
The lyrics of Ludov's song "Todo Esse Ar" capture the essence of a longing heart that is haunted by memories of a love that has passed. The song begins with the singer confessing that as soon as the day ends, he thinks about the two of them and how the memories of their bad times fade away. However, he acknowledges that he cannot sustain this anymore. He reminisces about the good times they had together, which he desperately wants to relive.
The second verse is a plea for his lover to return to him. He recognizes that without her, the world seems smaller and emptier. It has been a long time since he has had anyone to share the simple things in life with. He remembers her presence vividly, even her scent and the contours of her body that have become like volatile shapes of their love.
The chorus echoes his despair at not being able to breathe the air around him anymore. He knows he has erred by not sharing with her all the truths and lies that played a part in the dissolution of their union. His heart is heavy with guilt, and he longs for the day they can be together again.
Overall, the song is a heartfelt expression of the pain and longing that comes from a breakup. It highlights the importance of honest communication and the void that is left when a lover departs.

Sempre que escuto essa música, penso no meu filho e no último dia em que estive com ele no hospital! Escutar esses versos a essa hora da madrugada é pesado!!!
Todo esse ar pra respirar
Eu não vou conseguir...
