The story begins in Brazil at their defining point – playing the Rock in Rio Festival, the largest concert ever held in South America. Udora battled and beat over 1,500 bands for the main prize of performing in front of a crowd of 250,000 people. The exposure at the festival led to a successful tour where they sold over 10,000 self-released CD's over more than 150 shows. Taking the band as far as they could in Brazil, Udora moved to Los Angeles, where they still reside to this day. The guys arrived with the clothes on their backs, a few guitars, and 700 dollars in their pockets. They bought a van, found an old mattress on the streets, threw it inside and this became their new home. Struggling from day to day, Udora played countless shows throughout the United States, always trying to absorb the many nuances and subtleties of the American culture, but never departing from their original roots. Things started to fall into place when more and more fans started to converge.
The buzz started growing and suddenly the industry took notice. Being in America for only a short time, Udora created the opportunity to work with some reputable music veterans. The band toured the entire US with major label rock acts such as Jerry Cantrell of Alice in Chains, and have worked with such top record producers as Matt Wallace (Maroon 5, Faith No More, Train), Gavin Mackillop (Toad the Wet Sprocket, Goo Goo Dolls, Sugarcult), Bob Marlette (Black Sabbath, Seether, Il Nino) and Thom Russo (System Of A Down, Johnny Cash, Audioslave).
2006 has been a fresh start for the band, as the debut of Liberty Square, produced by Thom Russo, will bring the band's unique blend of Rock, Bossa Nova and Gustavo's soul-searching lyrics, to a broad audience. "The image depicted on the album cover shows a path. Although we're striving for an end result, it's the process of getting there that's most important. The road that has to be traveled is both grim and enlightening, and to conquer your goals in life, you need to be focused on the journey, not only on the destination.", says Gustavo.
With the band's raw power and range of musical sensibilities, Liberty Square showcases an original yet familiar sound that fits perfectly into today's Modern Rock music scene. With a live show that has the explosive caress of a velvet hand grenade; Udora is determined to reach the end of this journey in order to embrace a much greater one.
FADE AWAY
Udora Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
but nobody in home
i was always needing of a help
but everybody's gone
i was bleeding on the floor all the time
but nobody holded out one's hand
i was thinking about as far i can go
but i can't go, just go if world let me go
just fade away
just fade away
i was sick when you betray me
no one knows it
i was implore for i gone away
because no one's care
i was there, i was there
and no one's here without you
i was searching for a heal
and there's nothing they can do
i just fade away
just fade away
when i'm sick of this world nobody's home
because i'm fucked and i want to die
when those people make fun me i felt hurt
because i'm strange and there's no reason why
sometimes i feel as i'm best just without you
sometimes i feel as i'm rest just without myself
myself i don't know why
myself i don't know why
The lyrics in Udora's song "Fade Away" express the emotional pain and loneliness the singer experiences in life. The singer reaches out to others, but no one responds to their call for help. The metaphorical knocking on doors of other people's lives represents trying to connect with others, but no one is present to welcome the singer in. The line "I was bleeding on the floor all the time but nobody held out one's hand" expresses the singer's feeling of being lost and abandoned in a time of crisis, with no one offering aid or comfort.
The singer also feels betrayed by someone they trusted, causing them to become sick and hopeless. The line "I was implore for I gone away because no one's care" reveals the singer's desire to escape and be freed from the pain of feeling unnoticed and unimportant. The line "sometimes I feel as I'm best just without you, sometimes I feel as I'm rest just without myself" further highlights the internal turmoil that the singer is experiencing, questioning their sense of identity and the value of their relationships.

Ouvi esse disco demais em 2006. Acho que foi o ano de lançamento. Todos aí são ótimos músicos. Sabem o que estão fazendo. Miss this band Udora ever! :)
Milena Rosa

Jimmy Campos
Milena Rosa Realmente...ouço com a mesma empolgação de uns 10 anos atrás...energia da porra!
Ednei Damasio
@Jimmy Campos eu morava no Rio Grande do Sul e tipo, era uma febre essa música. Eu tenho certeza que eles não tem idéia do real potencial do som deles.

Vocês deviam ter insistido mais, esse som é bom de mais, mereciam ter tido o reconhecimento e estabelecido sucesso real com esse som, uma pena mesmo, desejo sucesso nos projetos de vcs.
