Musically and lyrically, their rock from southern Brazil, also known as Gaucho Rock, seems influenced by british bands such as The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and Oasis. It is also possible to identify hard rock and bossa nova as major influences in the group's members.
They recorded two albuns with the label, each one preceded by two independent works. Maria Lúcia, their first single, showed the potential of their songs, confirmed by a successful debut album: Meu Toca-Discos Se Matou (2002), which was critically acclaimed.
Madrugada
Vera Loca Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Deitado em minha cama, olhos fechados, vejo mais
Do que a luz do sol pode mostrar
Quando apago a luz
Me lembro que pedia pra deixar a luz acesa
Queria ver nos olhos a certeza
De que não era só mais uma vez
Noite longa madrugada
Vejo você indo embora
Estareia a sua espera
Mesmo quarto
Mesma hora
The lyrics of Vera Loca's song Madrugada are about the experiences and memories that come flooding back to the singer when they turn off the lights and lay in bed with their eyes closed. They see more than what the daylight can reveal, and their thoughts wander to a past situation where they asked their lover to keep the lights on, wanting to confirm that the moment they were in was real and not just another fleeting encounter. The singer reminisces about a long night spent together and how they watch their lover leave in the early hours of the morning. Despite knowing that their lover will be back, the separation still brings forth feelings of longing and waiting.
The lyrics of the song are a testament to the power of memory and how our minds can conjure up vivid recollections of past experiences that shape our emotions and the way we view our present circumstances. The song's melancholic feel coupled with its poignant lyrics makes it relatable to anyone who has experienced the bittersweetness of love, separation, and waiting for someone to return.

Quando apago a luz
When I turn off the lights
Deitado em minha cama, olhos fechados, vejo mais
Lying in my bed, eyes closed, I see more
Do que a luz do sol pode mostrar
Than what the sunlight can show
Me lembro que pedia pra deixar a luz acesa
I remember asking to leave the lights on
Queria ver nos olhos a certeza
I wanted to see certainty in your eyes
De que não era só mais uma vez
That it wasn't just another time
Noite longa madrugada
Long night, early morning
Vejo você indo embora
I see you leaving
Estareia a sua espera
I'll be waiting for you
Mesmo quarto
Same room
Mesma hora
Same time
