Thievery Corporation is on the Eighteenth Street Lounge record label named after the DC club owned by Eric Hilton, but several of their singles and EP's appear on the 4AD and !K7 labels.
Formed in the summer of 1995 at D.C.’s Eighteenth Street Lounge. Rob Garza and Lounge co-owner Eric Hilton bonded over club life, dub, bossa nova and jazz records, then decided to see what would come of mixing all these in a recording studio. From this, the duo was born and their self started label Eighteenth Street Lounge Music began to emerge on an international level.
The duo caught the ears of underground DJ’s with their first two 12" offerings, Shaolin Satellite and 2001: a Spliff Odyssey. Their 1997 debut LP, Sounds from the Thievery Hi-Fi began to both define a new genre of electronic music and connect with an international community of like-minded souls. Though the terminology has varied (downtempo, chill out, left field and a myriad of other permutations), they have maintained their unique musical standards for the duration of their popularity.
In 2002, they released The Richest Man in Babylon on their ESL label. This fifteen track album is similar in sound and timbre to their earlier 2000 release, The Mirror Conspiracy, and features performances by vocalists Emiliana Torrini, Pam Bricker, and Loulou.
In 2005 they released The Cosmic Game, which has a darker, more psychedelic sound than The Richest Man in Babylon. The album also featured more high-profile guest singers on it, including Perry Farrell, David Byrne, and Wayne Coyne of The Flaming Lips.
In 2006, the group released Versions, a selection of remixes done by Thievery Corporation for other artists and toured the United States, playing at Lollapalooza.
The group released their fifth studio album, Radio Retaliation, on 23 September 2008.
The language of the group's lyrics are as diverse as English, Spanish, French, Persian, Portuguese, Romanian and Hindi. This reflects the group's global feel and collaborative structure.
They were the opening act on August 1, 2009 for Sir Paul McCartney at FedExField in Landover, Maryland.
On July 27, 2010, Babylon Central, the cinematic directorial debut of founding member Eric Hilton, was released. Set (and shot) in Washington, D.C., the film follows tripwire events in the interconnected lives of its characters, each influencing power brokers' schemes to manipulate international currencies.
In June 2011, Thievery Corporation released their sixth album, Culture of Fear.
In January 2012, Thievery Corporation launched a remixes contest in conjunction with Dubspot.
So Com Voce
Thievery Corporation Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
O que eu não sei
Só quero ver
Sem ter você pra mim
Onde eu não sei
Só por você
Me ensina a ver
Hmm, Só com você
Hmm, Só com você
Eu só quero ver
Eu só com você
Só pra saber
O que eu não sei
Só quero ver
Sem ter você pra mim
The lyrics of Thievery Corporation's "Só Com Você" are in Brazilian Portuguese and express a sense of inquisitiveness and longing. The singer expresses a desire to know and see things that they do not currently understand but they can only do so with the person they are singing about. They want to be taught and shown things that they cannot see without the person they love. The chorus repeats the phrase "Só com você" which translates to "only with you," emphasizing that the singer's desire to learn and see can only be fulfilled with the person they are singing about.
The song's melody and the Brazilian rhythm of bossa nova creates an intimate and sensual ambiance. The combination of the smooth melody and the quick pace of the rhythm evokes a sense of yearning and passion. This song is just one example of Thievery Corporation's exploration of different international styles and sounds, this one paying tribute to the Brazilian music scene. It is a beautiful love song with an almost melancholic feel, as if the singer's only happiness comes from the presence of the person they love.

I discovered this song in Barcelona in 2011. I think I listened to it 20 times each day on my first real experience abroad completely by myself. A memory burned into my mind, thanks for the soundtrack! Feels like it was yesterday.
