1. One of the most important vocal/instrumental groups of the Jovem Guarda, the Fevers, along with its solo discography, accompanied in recordings stars of the movement like Roberto Carlos, Erasmo Carlos, Wilson Simonal, Jorge Ben, and Trio Esperança. Their biggest hits were "De Que Vale Tanto Amor," "Sinto Mas Não Sei Dizer," "Pra Cima, Pra Baixo," and "Guerra dos Sexos" (which became the opening theme of a soap opera in 1983).

2. The Fevers are an American power-pop band from California. They have two LPs released on German label Alien Snatch records.

Drawing influence from 70’s power pop groups such as the Modernettes, Sire records era Flamin’ Groovies, as well as 60’s bubblegum acts like the Ohio Express and Joey Levin and garage proto-punks the Equals, Beau Brummels and the Small Faces (all of whom the band covered), the Fevers were always either decades too late or a decade ahead of their time (or maybe both).

Originally formed in San Jose, California by singer/ bassist Gavin May and guitarist Brian Hermosillo in the mid-90’s during the original “Budget Rock” boom, the band released a 7” e.p. on Lipstick records with drummer Kathy Walker (los Retardos/ Pinkz) and played a few shows featuring Darin Raffaelli (Supercharger/ Donnas svengali/ Donny Denim) before quietly breaking up.

At some point in the late 90’s May and Hermosillo found themselves in Minneapolis recording with producer Travis Ramin on drums. The band would release “Gaan Daar Waar De Meisjes Zijn” (“Go Where the Girls Are”) and “Love Always Wins” for Germany’s Alien Snatch label as well as the “Don’t Tell Me It’s Wrong” b/w “He’s In Town” 45 for Get Hip records and the “Get On Again” b/w “Can’t Be True” 45 for Plastic Idol records.

Gavin stayed in San Jose and eventually started an even more 60’s influenced group called the Rantouls, while Brian stayed in Minn. fronting Skipper and the Sweet Faces as well as recording several solo demos. Travis of course continued producing and playing in several groups (most notably Nikki Corvette’s group). The band would tour Europe occasionally but fizzled.

Recently however, the original line up of Gavin, Brian and Kathy, found themselves all in the Bay Area and reunited for the eighth annual Budget Rock fest opening up for old friends the Brentwoods and the iconic Mummies, as well as backing Raffaelli’s short lived alter ego, Donny Denim. After the show spirits were high and there was buzz of more shows being a possibility.

The Fevers Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Eu não sei de onde vim, onde vou
Eu já nem sei até quem sou

Não existe neste mundo
Alguém que possa ainda me alegrar
Vou chorando pela rua
Pois você me deixou

Oh, oh, angel baby
Não faça isso comigo
Eu sempre fui seu amigo
Mas vivo tão sozinho

Oh, oh, angel baby
Não quero mais viver triste assim
Pois sem você tudo é ruim
Não negue seu carinho

Pode você encontrar outro alguém
Mas eu não quero mais ninguém
Não esqueço os momentos
Que a seu lado tão feliz passei

Sei que nunca dei motivo
Mas você me deixou

Oh, oh, angel baby
Não faça isso comigo
Eu sempre fui seu amigo
Mas vivo tão sozinho

Oh, oh, angel baby
Não quero mais viver triste assim
Pois sem você tudo é ruim
Não negue seu carinho

Mas você me deixou

Oh, oh, angel baby
Não faça isso comigo
Eu sempre fui seu amigo
Mas vivo tão sozinho

Oh, oh, angel baby
Não quero mais viver triste assim
Pois sem você tudo é ruim
Não negue seu carinho

Não negue seu carinho

Oh, oh, angel baby
Não faça isso comigo
Eu sempre fui seu amigo
Mas vivo tão sozinho

Oh, oh, angel baby

Não quero mais viver triste assim
Pois sem você tudo é ruim

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of The Fevers' song "Angel Baby" express the pain and loneliness that the singer feels after being left by his lover. The singer starts by describing his confusion about his identity and his path in life, stating that he doesn't know where he came from or where he's going. He then declares that there's nobody in the world that can make him happy anymore, and that he's crying in the street because of the person who left him. The chorus addresses his former lover directly, pleading with her not to hurt him because he's always been her friend. He also says that he doesn't want to live in sadness anymore and that nothing is good without her love. He insists that he doesn't want anyone else and can't forget the happy moments they shared together. The song ends in a plea for her to not withhold her care and love from him.

The song captures the depth of loss and heartbreak that the singer is experiencing through his plaintive lyrics and melodious voice. The use of repetition in the chorus emphasizes the desperation of the singer and his desire to be reunited with his lover. The emotional intensity of the song is conveyed through the mournful chords and the slow melody that ensure that the listener feels the same pain as the singer.
