To get in Gramado, an tourist town, located in the saw of the state of Rio Grande do Sul, in Brazil, it can be used two paths.

One, road RS 239, of tracing comfortable, and the other by RS116, more difficult, however of more beautiful landscape.

I imagine the melodies of these songs during one of my visits to Gramado, and together Ragi P. we give the same melody to two completely different sound to reflect the sensations that each one of these paths produce.

If you have never been in Gramado. Do it listening these songs. If you going to start your travel by Porto Alegre, the capital of the state tries to leave one hour or two before the sunrise, to arrive in Gramado with the setting sun.

"I´m not ready to die", was thought as a song of a short movie that was however not made. The song is about the end of the movie, when the protagonist, confused for drugs, tries to run away with her motorcycle from police. She has to decide between trying to run away, with the risk of losing her life, or to pass the rest of her youth as a prisoner. Each of these decisions are critical to her future. Nobody is prepared to die...or is somebody? That´s why this song has it´s Epilog.

"Century Christmas" I wrote thinking about the end of millennium Christmas... a different lifestyle...

"Carine´s Dance", "U-Boats", "Take-me again" and "Shining", I was writing between 1999 e 2000.
