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.
Whenever You Close Your Eyes
Sandy e Junior Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That I am in your world baby
And I gotta know that I am in your heart
No matter where you are, wherever you go, oh baby
I hear you saying that you love me
I feel you touch me in the night
But that don′t mean that I mean something in your life baby
I want it to be my face that you see
When you go to sleep at night
Whenever you dream, I wanna know you're dreaming of me
So hard to know, wish I could read your mind
Wish I could read your mind and see in your heart
Am I there, the way you′re there with me
You're everywhere with me, wherever I go, oh baby
Before I give my world completely
And lay my heart down on the line
I need to know it's me you′re needing in your life
Whenever you close your eyes
I want it to be my face that you see
When you go to sleep at night
Whenever you dream, I wanna know you′re dreaming of me
I hear you saying that you love me
I feel you touch me in the night
But that don't mean that I mean something in your life
Baby baby baby
Whenever you close your eyes
I want it to be my face that you see
When you go to sleep at night
Whenever you dream, I wanna know you′re dreaming of me.
The lyrics to Sandy e Junior's song "Whenever You Close Your Eyes" prioritize the desire for confirmation of love and affection.

The lyrics convey the importance of knowing that the love and affection being given are mutual and reciprocated.
The singer expresses the frustration and uncertainty that comes with not knowing what the other person is thinking or feeling, wishing they could read their mind and see into their heart. Before giving their everything and committing to the relationship, they need to know that they are needed and wanted in the other person's life.
In the chorus, the singer gives a visual depiction of what they want. Whenever the other person closes their eyes, they want their face to be the first thing they see, and in their dreams, they want to be the one they are dreaming of.
Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of longing, insecurity, and eagerness for assurance and validation, which is relatable to many in a relationship.

Os arranjos são lindos, a letra tbm, a cantora evoluiu! Identidade é melhor que esse álbum! Fazer um álbum em inglês foi exigência do mercado brasileiro? Quem pretendia internacionalizar a carreira deles?
