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.
When You Need Somebody
Sandy e Junior Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I'm not gonna let it bring me down
To be true, true to you, I've had better days
But I'll hold my head up high anyway
Whenever times are hard you're there for me
And I've been there too many times
If there's someone I can count on, yeah
When you need somebody to hold you
When you need somebody to care
I'm the one, I'll always be
By your side eternally
When the world is folding around you
When you feel like no-one is there
Love is never wrong, forever on and on
And carries us along
When you need someone
Every second, every day gone by
If you feel you're losing time
Take a listen to your heart now, please don't fall apart
Cause you're never alone
Whenever times are hard you're there for me
And I've been there too many times
If there's someone I can count on, yeah
That someone is you
Chorus
When you need, need somebody
Need a hand, a hand to guide you
I'll be there waiting for you
( I'll be waiting for you )
When the world folds around you
Turn around I'm right behind you
And together we'll get by
Chorus Out
The song "When You Need Somebody" by Sandy e Junior talks about a friendship that exceeds time and adversity. The first verse establishes the setting: the singer is feeling down, but he is not going to let it bring him down completely. He acknowledges that he has had better days but still decides to hold his head up high. The second verse introduces the idea of reciprocity in the relationship and how each one has been there for the other through hard times. Then, the chorus reinforces the message that the singer will always be there for their friend, no matter what happens. Whether they need somebody to hold them, care for them, or guide them, the singer will be by their side eternally. The last verse emphasizes the importance of listening to one's heart and not falling apart because the friend is never alone.
The message of the song is simple but powerful: true friends are there for each other through thick and thin. The lyrics touch upon feelings of vulnerability, resilience, and the importance of having a support system. The melody is catchy and upbeat, which adds to the overall positive tone of the song.

Quando Você Precisar de Alguém
Existe uma nuvem sobre a minha cabeça
Mas nem por isso, eu vou me abalar
Pra falar a verdade, eu já tive dias melhores
Mas eu vou manter minha cabeça erguida de qualquer maneira
Nos momentos difíceis você sempre esteve presente
E eles foram muitos
Se existe alguém com quem eu possa contar, sim
Esse alguém é você...
(Refrão)
Quando você precisar de alguém pra te segurar
Quando você precisar de alguém pra te dar atenção
Eu sou esse alguém, eu sempre serei
Ao seu lado, eternamente
Quando o mundo ao seu redor estiver desabando
E você sentir que ninguém está lá...
O amor nunca falha, pra sempre juntos e juntos
E nos manteremos unidos
Quando você precisar de alguém...
Cada segundo, cada dia que passa
Se você achar que está perdendo tempo
Ouça o seu coração, por favor não se entregue
Porque você não está sozinho...
Nos momentos difíceis você sempre esteve presente
E eles foram muitos
Se existe alguém com quem eu possa contar, sim
Esse alguém é você...
(Refrão)
Quando você precisar, precisar de alguém
Precisar de uma mão, uma mão pra te guiar
Eu estarei lá, esperando por você
(Eu estarei esperando por você)
Quando o mundo desabar ao seu redor
Vire-se e eu estarei logo atrás de você
E juntos sobreviveremos...
