Stimulated by the talent and the interest in the rising phenomenon of the Brazilian Rock, soon they had recorded their first LP “Cinema Mudo” (1983) and had become a success with songs such as “Vital e sua Moto” and “Patrulha Noturna”.
The second LP “O Passo do Lui” (1984), consolidated the initial pull with the hits “Óculos”, “Ska” and “Meu Erro”, but it was in the presentation during the Rock in Rio Festival in January 1985, that they were definitely consecrated after their two concerts only for the power of their music, not for any scenic artifice.
After having toured throughout Brazil (more than 150 shows), Paralamas made a stop and released the revolutionary “Selvagem” (1986), that gave new routes to the Brazilian Rock 80’s generation. They abandoned the first influences and started to mold a personal sonority recognized and approved by the youth that bought more than 750 thousand copies of the album. In “Selvagem”, social (“Alagados”) and politics criticism (“Selvagem”) coexisted with good mood (“Melô do Marinheiro”), a tribute to Tim Maia (“Você”) and a partnership with Gilbert Gil (“A Novidade”).
At this time they made the first incursions in Latin America, initiating a work that would lead them to be the most recognized act of the Brazilian music in the decade of 90 in countries as Argentina, Chile, Uruguay and Venezuela. The “Selvagem” success also gave them the right to be the first group of their generation to participate of the Montreux Jazz Festival, in 1987, when they took advantage to also perform at the Olympia in Paris.
The concert in Montreux was recorded and became the LP and video “D” (1987), with the participation in the keyboards of João Fera and George Israel (sax), as special invited.
In the following year a new successful LP “Bora Bora”. The hits “O Beco”, “Uns Dias” and “Quase um Segundo” extended the series of influences and added brass instruments to the sound of Paralamas.
The following LP “Big Bang” (1989) would consolidate the new sonorous format in exciting songs as “Perplexo” and lyric ones as “Lanterna dos Afogados”, as well as a bossa-nova “Nebulosa do Amor”.
To turn the decade, the trio released the compilation “Arquivo” with their hits of the 80’s, the rerecording of their first hit “Vital e sua Moto” and also the new song “Caleidoscópio”.
The first half of the 90’s would be dedicated to the experiment and the conquest of the Latin American market. The album “Os Grãos” (1991, with songs of minor popular appeal, was not a sales success, but it did not affect the band itself. Herbert, Bi and Barone spent three months in London with the producer Phil Manzanera recording “Severino” (1994), considered by many revewers the “Sgt. Pepper's of 80’s generation” of the Brazilian Rock. In despite of that, the radios did not play the album and the exit for Paralamas was the airport.
In 1992, they released in the Latin American countries the compilation “Paralamas”, with versions in Spanish of their hits, what opened for them the markets that they had been visiting repeatedly since 1986. They started being each time more requested for shows, due to the great success of the Spanish version of “Severino” baptized “Dos Margaritas”.
But the excellent tour of “Severino” throughout Brazil confirmed that Paralamas does not need to have a song on the hit parades to attract the audience, so they decided to release “Vamo Batê Lata” – Paralamas Ao Vivo” (1995). Attached there was a four track bonus CD. The explosion of one of tracks “Uma Brasileira”, a Herbert and Carlinhos Brown partnership, with the special participation of Djavan, led the trio back to the mega success. A second song “Luiz Inácio (300 picaretas)” would lead the band to the politician news after being forbidden to play it in a show in Brasilia, under allegation that the song wounded the honor of the noble members of the Chamber House. The song referred to a declaration of the current Brazilian president, at the time a Federal Deputy, that in the National Congress there were some honored men and 300 tramps. Herbert detonated the political class at that time.
In 1995, Paralamas initiated a pull in the MTV Video Music Brazil that would take them to gather up 11 prizes up to 1999. In that year, the video “Uma Brasileira” got the awards for the best pop video and the video of the audience.
From there on Paralamas sailed in the rhythm of success with two more studio albums: “Nove Luas” (1996) – with the tracks “Lourinha Bombril” (awarded with the best video of the year, best edition and direction in the MTV Video Music Brazil (VMB) and “Busca Vida” (best video of the year in the VMB) – and “Hey Na Na” (1998) – with the tracks “Ela Disse Adeus” (five awards in the VMB: best video of the year, best pop video, best direction, photograph and direction of art) and “O Amor não Sabe Esperar” with the participation of Marisa Monte. The video “Depois da Queda o Coice” gained the VMB for the best edition.
In 1999, it was the time for a project that they have dreamt of during the entire decade, the album “MTV Unplugged”. Instead of making a revision of their career through the successes, they opted by a repertoire dominated by significant songs that had not received the due attention (“Bora Bora”, “Vai Valer” and “Trem da Juventude”) with homage to Chico Science and the group Legião Urbana, the new song “Sincero Breu” and “Um Amor Um Lugar”, recorded before by Fernanda Abreu. The CD sold more than 500 thousand copies and gained the Latin Grammy for the best Brazilian rock album.
The victorious “Unplugged” tour was extended until the end of 2000, when the trio released the compilation “Arquivo 2”, that brought the unpublished “Aonde quer que eu vá”, a Herbert Vianna and Pablo Sergio Valle partnership, one of the great composers of the Brazilian Popular Music (MPB).
At that time, Paralamas announced a six month stop for vacations and a reformulation in the sound of the group, after almost two decades of career. The plans pointed to a new rock album and, primordially, in trio.
This CD was recorded and is titled “Longo Caminho”, but the tragic accident that Herbert suffered on February 4th 2001, left the Brazilian music in mourning. The fall of the small plane in the Angra dos Reis Bay, Rio de Janeiro, when he was on the way to Dado Villa Lobos home, killed his wife, Lucy Needham Vianna and it left him between life and death. The entire country followed Herbert’s fight for survival in the hospital Copa D’Or, in Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro.
It has been a difficult journey since then due to the sequels of the accident: Herbert is in a wheel chair and has not recovered the cerebral functions fully yet, but all that has not incapacitated him for music and in October 2002, he started the rehearsals with the complete band in his home studio. The result was so good that it led gradually to the new CD, with the repertoire composed before the accident.

The lyrics of Os Paralamas Do Sucesso's song Aonde Quer Que Eu Vá (Wherever I Go) express the sentiment of carrying a loved one with you, even when physically apart. The starting lines of the song, "Olhos fechados, pra te encontrar" (Eyes closed, to find you), indicate that the singer is not in the presence of their loved one but can visualize them with closed eyes. The line "Levo você no olhar" (I carry you in my gaze) further emphasizes the idea that the singer always has their loved one in their mind's eye.
The second verse contains the same set of lines as the first verse which asks if it is a mere illusion or if the intuition is telling them that their loved one is nearby. The chorus repeats the idea of carrying the loved one everywhere they go, no matter the distance. The bridge conveys a sense of yearning for the loved one to be with the singer again. The lines, "Longe daqui, longe de tudo, os sonhos vão te buscar" (Far from here, far from everything, the dreams will seek you) depict the singer's persistent longing for their loved one, even when they are separated by distance.

essa musica me lembra uma pessoa que conheci uma pessoa no Instagram gente começou a conversa e tudo mais, ela morava roça mas vinha pra cidade, e cvs por dias ela acabou que vindo um fim de semana e marcamos de nos encontrar na praça, no dia fiquei esperando ela chegar la e a hora que ela chegou foquei até bobo ela tava toda bonita, gente conversou e acabamos ficando tbm gostei demais dela ela me trava tão bem e eu olhava pra ela ficava admirando ela e aquelea olhinhos puxadinho mds 🥺 ela toda delicada, eu tava com uma blusa moletom e ela ficava fazendo lacinho com a cordinha do moletom. Essa noite ali na praça pra mim foi muito boa conheci ela, e então acabamos ficando mais proximos ela começo ir com mais frequência pra cidade e gente se encontrava na praça até que ela mudou pra cidade, dias foi passando e começei a gostar dela mas eu não falava nada pra ela 😕 gente se envolveu tão forte que nem sei explicar mas eu não sabia como falar, pq eu ja passei por um relacionamento que acabei entrando em depressão e tals e com tudo que passei me fechei nao demostrava nada. ela tbm teve relacionamento ruin ex dela traia ela chamava ela gorda deixava ela muito ruin e tals....
E essa pessoa tava me fazendo tão bem que eu tava conseguido me soltar, mas um dia que cvs ela falou que gostava de mim e tbm falei gostava dela, gente era feliz e tentava máximo pra faze ela bem sempre eu ficava muito feliz vendo ela sorrindo toda brincalhona gente juntos era melhor coisa sempre protegia ela, lembro que entraram na casa dela era madrugada acordei celular tocando e era ela deseperada pq ela tava sozinha e fui correndo pra la, cheguei la ela abriu portao logo me abraçou com aqueles olhinhos cheio de lagrima 🥺 e fiquei la com ela, mas falei que independente de qualquer coisa eu ia proteger ela nao ia deixa nada acontecer com ela, e ficou tudo bem depois....
ela começou faculdade da área que ela queria fiquei felizão por ela, ela mandava msg toda alegre falando como foi as aula e tudo mais.. e foi passando tempo ela faculdade começou conhece muitas pessoas começaram grupos wpp e tals
e sim comecei ter ciumes e eu n falei nada pra ela, mas eu ficava de boa na minha segurava a onda, e teve vezes que ela começou a fala das pessoa que tava andando com ela que ela. fez amizade com meninas e tals e tinha um cara la que era amigo das meninas e tudo mais e nisso ciumes ja bateu mais comecei ter sensação que tinha algo errado mas nao falei nada deixei quieto segurei onda denovo, mas aconteceu coisas entre nos dois que acabou ficando ruin tbm e eu vacilei em deixa meu medo e pensamento me levar começou vim coisas na cabeça do tipo que eu ia passar por tudo que passei no relacionamento anterior, e com isso acabei esfriando com ela, quando eu não ficava bem e tava estressado por causa serviço eu me afastava dela mal respondia ela e com esse meu jeito de nao falar os meus problemas acabou afetando muitas coisas entre nós principalmente por eu nao demonstra que depois de tempo eu tava amando ela 😔 eu demorei pra falar, pra demonstra tudo que sentia mas ja era tudo acabou e a gente parou com tudo nao ficava mais.
mas eu mandava mgs sempre pra ela pra saber como estava pq ela ficava sozinha em casa e os pais dela roça sempre me preocupei com ela, isso até hoje 😕
mas Enfim chegou festa da cidade gente se encontrou festa ela tava com as "amizades" dela e ela acabou me beijando e falei pra ela pra gente volta e tenta denovo ela falou que n que gente ia se machucar mais, fiquei mal denovo nesse dia, e gente ainda cvs no wpp ela me falou que n tava com ninguém tbm falou que nao tem cabeça pra isso wue nao teria psicológico aguenta sofrer, e no. outro dia da festa ela acabou ficando com um menino eu vi ela ficando pq nao estava tao longe, e isso ali na hora foi baita tiro no peito,e praticamente fim da festa ela veio cvs comigo pra ficar de boa que gente poderia se amigos e tals, mas como gente vai ser amigo de uma pessoa que amamos? enfim passou um mes ela posta foto com o cara da faculdade que ela me falava era da turma amigas dela
dia que vi essa foto literalmente fiquei sem chão doeu demais cheguei até chora coisa que nao faço por ninguém mas infelizmente isso tudo aconteceu, mas eu sigo minha vida gostando dela ainda.
E hoje eu consigo entende aquela frase
TEM AMORES DA VIDA QUE NÃO SÃO PRA VIDA.
E deixo uma coisa pra vcs aqui, se vcs encontra alguém que vc ver que vale a pena nao deixa de demostrar que gosta dela e ama ela nao deixa coisas do passado tomar conta de seus sentimentos, nao cometam mesmo erro que eu.
