Formed in 1990, Sandy & Junior began by singing children's songs and sertanejo-influenced tracks (their first single, "Maria Chiquinha", is a classic sertanejo song). Once they reached adolescence, they changed their style to pop-influenced songs, mainly ballads and upbeat songs. The style-change was around the mid 1990s. Their albums Era Uma Vez... Ao Vivo (1998), As Quatro Estações (1999), Quatro Estações: O Show (2000) and Sandy & Junior (2001) sold more than a million units and were certified multi-platinum or diamond in Brazil.
They had a self-titled weekly television series between 1999 and 2003 on Rede Globo and released the movie Acquaria in 2003; Sandy also starred the soap opera Estrela Guia (Globo) in 2001. Earlier, they had appeared in Renato Aragão movie O Noviço Rebelde, in 1997. Both have experienced solo work: Junior was the drummer of alternative rock band Nove Mil Anjos (which also features former Charlie Brown Jr. member Champignon on bass guitar), and part of an EDM duo called Manimal. Sandy, on the other hand, has a solid solo carreer.
In 2002, they were the first national artists to do a paid concert at Maracanã stadium in Rio.
The duo announced on 17 April 2007 that an MTV Unplugged album to be recorded in May 2007 would be their final work together, through a video posted on their website addressed to their fans and in a press conference, stating also that their career as a duo would be over at the end of 2007.
Their 17 years of career has granted them partnerships with several national and international artists, such as Xuxa, Roberto Carlos, Milton Nascimento, Toquinho, Gilberto Gil, Ivete Sangalo, Andrea Bocelli and Enrique Iglesias, and more than 20 million albums sold around the globe, making them the ninth best selling Brazilian artists of all time.
In March 2019, after a 12-year hiatus, the duo announced a new tour to celebrate the 30th anniversary of their first performance together, Nossa História Tour. Starting in July 2019, the siblings commemorated their successful career with their greatest hits in a tour through the largest cities in Brazil.
Precious Time
Sandy e Junior Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When we've got so much we need to say
Did we go through it all
Just to let our future slip away
And maybe I'm an optimistic fool
But I still believe in you
Don't make me wait
(Runnin out of precious time)
It's never too late
But I've seen the warning sign
And we're runningout of precious time
You can't make up your mind
So give your heart a listen
And you'll wake up to find
It's my love you're missing
Maybe I'm an optimistic fool
But I still believe in you
Don't make me wait
'Cause we're running out of precious time
(Runnin out of precious time)
It's never too late
But I've seen the warning sign
And we're running out of precious time
I know we're only human
But somehow we have got to just hold on
Don't make me wait
'Cause we're running out of precious time
(Runnin out of precious time)
It's never too late
But I've seen the warning sign
And we're running out of precious time
The lyrics in Sandy e Junior's song "Precious Time" convey a sense of urgency and desperation towards salvaging a relationship that seems to be fading away. The singer tries to reach out to their partner, but they keep missing the calls, and the singer wonders if all the effort that they have put into the relationship was worth it. Despite the uncertainty, the singer believes in their partner and pleads for them not to give up on the relationship, as time is running out.
The singer is trying to convince their partner to take action and make a decision. They implore their partner to listen to their heart and not waste any more time. The lyrics express hope and optimism in the relationship's potential, but at the same time, the singer acknowledges the warning signs that their time together may be limited.
The repetitive chorus emphasizes the urgency of the situation. The lines "Don't make me wait, 'cause we're running out of precious time" make the message of the song crystal clear – if action is not taken soon, the relationship will end, and the opportunity for love will be missed.
Overall, "Precious Time" is a passionate song that highlights the importance of communication and taking action before it's too late.
