Rafael Witt - Bloody Nieves

Copied!

I carry, oh carry my weight up the road
Long have I lost my way
The load is heavy, it’s sealed to the bone
And I feel my body ache

Bury oh, bury my sins up your arse
You’re not as shiny as you claim
Guilty oh, guilty though I may be judged
I take pride in my name

And they can’t see
My weak, bloody nieves

Love, I will run
Until I hold you again, I'm
Wearing out my lungs
And it’s killing me
That you are still not here

Carry oh, carry your ashes along
Yet they still burn my skin
Atop the mountain my bearings are gone
Even God wouldn’t pray for me

And they can’t see
My weak, bloody nieves
Love, I will run
Until I hold you again, I'm
Wearing out my lungs
And it’s killing mе
That you are still not here

Biography

edit bio

Between the lines that shape today’s pop music, resides Rafael Witt’s ideas, inspirations, and creativity. Brazilian multi-instrumentalist, born and raised in Caxias do Sul, Rio Grande do Sul, the most southern state of the country. Music has been a part of Rafael’s life since a kid, but became a real motive and activity during his teenage years. Now, years of compositions finally find their way from his heart and life to the public.

Rafael’s sound scrambles the influences of international artists like John Mayer, Ed Sheeran, Shawn Mendes and Jack Johnson to Mumford & Sons, Arctic Monkeys and KALEO, creating a folk-rock, pop, R&B and country atmosphere. All of that combined with the Brazilian way, from Legião Urbana, Seu Jorge to Tiago Iorc and Gustavo Bertoni, along with the inspiration gathered throughout his experiences abroad, from Germany’s artists Cro and AnnenMayKantereit to the french Bigflo & Oli and Vianney. Developing a multi-cultural experience, the protagonism in his songs is shared between a voice that mixes harsh and tender and guitar chords and progressions that constantly redefine what could be called woody and cozy at the same time.

It is stylish, but it is comfortable. Accessible, yet adventurous. For all purposes, something that always seems to hit the ears the right way. And for that reason, a sound that keeps the listener on the constant desire for more of that.
