History
* Formation and first works
The majority of the integrants of the band met each other at Colégio Equipe in São Paulo at the end of the seventies and, since their first live venue, at the school itself in 1981, the band began to play at several night clubs in the city. The first formation was: Arnaldo Antunes (vocals), Branco Mello (vocals), Marcello Fromer (guitar), Nando Reis (bass guitar), Paulo Miklos (sax and vocals), Sérgio Britto (keyboards and vocals), Tony Bellotto (guitar), Ciro Pessoa (vocals) and André Jung (drums). It was a pop/new wave-styled band, with small creativity and rather odd looks, with tender and little ball neckties. In 1984, without Ciro Pessoa, the band was signed by WEA to record their first album, produced by Pena Schimdt. Although not well sold and promoted, the band spawned at that time their first hit: "Sonífera Ilha"(Sleepy Island).
In 1985, with Charles Gavin replaced André Jung on drums (the latter going on to Ira!), their second album, Televisão (Television), producted by Lulu Santos, was released with slightly better arrangements than in their previous recording. This album had a greater advertising than the first one and brought in more opportunities to the group.
* Up to the Spotlights
In November 1985, Tony Bellotto and Arnaldo Antunes were arrested by heroin traffic and transportation. The episode made a huge impact on the band. The next album, Cabeça Dinossauro, released in June 1986, brought in a lot of tracks criticizing the public institutions ("Estado Violência" (Violence State) and "Polícia" (Police), as well as other "pillars" of Brazilian society such as"Igreja" (Church) and "Família" (Family). The heavy and punk-influenced rhythms and the strong lyrics, caracteristic of the band in this phase, are fully represented in this album which is considered by the critics as one of the best works of the group and one of the landmarks of the Brazilian rock.
Jesus Não Tem Dentes no País dos Banguelas (Jesus doesn't have teeth in the country of the toothless), released at the end of 1987, built on the previous album in tracks like "Nome aos Bois"(Name to the Oxes),"Lugar Nenhum"(Nowhere) and "Desordem"(Disorder), however adding samplers in tracks like "Corações e Mentes"(Hearts and Minds), "Comida"(Food) and "Diversão"(Fun). After some international presentations,the band recorded some of their hits in live venues and released Go Back in 1988.
The producer Liminha was always an important associate of the band since Cabeça Dinossauro, and this association arrived to it's climax in Õ Blésq Blom (untraslatable), one of the most popular productions of the band by that time. Some of the most popular tracks are: "Miséria" (Misery), "Flores" (Flowers),"O Pulso" (The Pulse)and "32 Dentes" (32 Teeth). One of the prominent features of this work was the special guest appearance of a couple of improvisors, called Mauro and Quitéria, discovered by the band in a beach in Recife.
* The First Changes
The band had arrived to a decisive point in it's history and the next album, Tudo ao Mesmo Tempo Agora(Everything at the Same Time Now) mark a strong yaw at the musicians' style, searching for heavier and authorial sound. The members themselves produced the album and the work was possibly the final reason for Arnaldo Antunes to leave for a solo career. The following album, Titanomaquia (Titanomachy), in 1993, continued the previous work in a way, with heavy instrumentation and disgusting lyrics, only now produced by Jack Endino, producer of important bands like Nirvana.
At 1995, Titãs released Domingo (Sunday), a more pop-rock outfit, unless for the track "Eu Não Aguento" (I Can't Take It), a more rap-rock oriented featuring the work of Sérgio Boneka. It was the first time that Titãs recorded a song recorded by another artist or group.
* The Return
Titãs had experienced some loss of their fanbase because the critics took their records as "less good" than the previous works from 80s. This changed in 1997 when they released Titãs - Acústico MTV (Unplugged MTV), an acoustic show recorded for MTV. With guests like Fito Paez, Marisa Monte and Arnaldo Antunes, the album sold pretty good and the band returned to the popularity of previous times.
In the following year, Volume Dois (Volume Two) was released, like a "next chapter" of the Acústico MTV. They recorded some of its previous hits, like "Insensível" (Insensitive) and also a song of Roberto Carlos, "É Preciso Saber Viver" (It's Needed to Know how to Live).
As Dez Mais (The Ten Most) was released in 1999. It was a cover record with some famous songs of other Brazilian artists. It featured a cover of "Pelados em Santos" (Naked in Santos), the most famous song of late group Mamonas Assassinas, which in the video made fun of commercials. The two records didn't repeat the hit that was Acústico MTV.
* These Days
The band returned to a full new material record with A Melhor Banda de Todos os Tempos da Última Semana (The Best Band of All-Time of Last Week), in 2001. The title of the record and epynomous song made critical fun of the Brazilian music market.
Prior to the release, Marcelo Fromer died after being hit by a motorcycle while running in the streets of São Paulo. After some days in comma, Fromer deceased. They made a song talking about it, "Epitáfio" (Epitaph). It was the major hit of the record, winning two MTV Video Music Brasil awards. Soon after that, Nando Reis left the band to pursue a sucessful solo career.
Como Estão Vocês? (How do You Are?) was released at 2003, and continued with the line of A Melhor Banda... "Enquanto Houver Sol" (As Long the Sun Exists) was a big hit, with a positive lyric and a somehow dark video.
MTV Ao Vivo, released in 2005, it's a recording of one concert to a live MTV special, available in CD and DVD. "Vossa Excelência" (Your Honor) was recorded, with lyrics who taked about the political situation of Brazil.
In their recent works (Sacos Plásticos, 2009 and Nheengatu, 2014), they've returned to a heavier sound, simillar to Cabeça Dinossauro.

Enquanto Houver Sol
Titãs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Quando não houver mais solução
Ainda há de haver saída
Nenhuma ideia vale uma vida
Quando não houver esperança
Quando não restar nem ilusão
Ainda há de haver esperança
Algo de uma criança
Enquanto houver sol
Enquanto houver sol
Ainda haverá
Enquanto houver sol
Enquanto houver sol
Quando não houver caminho
Mesmo sem amor, sem direção
A sós ninguém está sozinho
É caminhando
Que se faz o caminho
Quando não houver desejo
Quando não restar nem mesmo dor
Ainda há de haver desejo
Em cada um de nós
Aonde Deus colocou
Enquanto houver sol
Enquanto houver sol
Ainda haverá
Enquanto houver sol
Enquanto houver sol
Enquanto houver sol
Ainda haverá
Enquanto houver sol
Enquanto houver sol
Enquanto houver sol
Enquanto houver sol
Ainda haverá
Enquanto houver sol
Enquanto houver sol
Titãs's song "Enquanto Houver Sol" is a powerful message about hope, perseverance and the resilience of the human spirit. It speaks to the idea that even in the darkest of times, there is always a way out, a glimmer of hope that keeps us moving forward. The lyrics suggest that no matter how hopeless a situation might seem, there is always a solution, and that we have the power to create our own paths, to walk our own journeys even when the road isn't clear.
The song's opening line, "Quando não houver saída, Quando não houver mais solução" (When there's no way out, when there's no more solution) sets the tone for the rest of the song, expressing a sense of despair and resignation. Yet, in spite of these feelings, the song insists that there is always a way forward, a way to rise above even the most difficult circumstances. The following lines "Ainda há de haver saída, Nenhuma ideia vale uma vida" (There must still be a way out, No idea is worth a life) emphasize the importance of perseverance, suggesting that no matter how desperate the situation, giving up is never an option, and that our own lives are always more important than any single idea.
The song's chorus repeats the phrase "Enquanto Houver Sol" (While there's still sun), suggesting that as long as there is still light, there is still hope, still a chance to keep moving forward. The song's second verse, "Quando não houver caminho, Mesmo sem amor, sem direção, A sós ninguém está sozinho, É caminhando que se faz o caminho" (When there is no path, Even without love, without direction, No one is alone, It is by walking that the path is made) speaks to the resilience of the human spirit, emphasizing the importance of perseverance and determination in the face of adversity.
Overall, "Enquanto Houver Sol" is a powerful, moving song that speaks to the human experience in all its varied forms. It reminds us that no matter how hard things may seem, there is always a way forward, always a reason to feel hope and to keep moving forward.
