Motion is Emotion

Neteja

Us heu preguntat mai com seria la vida vista a través d’un calidoscopi? Això és el que vol transmetre Azul, el projecte musical d’Oriol Brunet. Agafar allò antic i donar-li nova vida, com un artesà del pop.

Aquest 2022 publicarà el seu disc de debut, titulat “Motion is Emotion” (El Jardí Amagat/Bankrobber), format per 9 cançons cantades en anglès i una en català, gravades i mesclades pel mateix Oriol juntament amb Pol Folguera (Diamante Negro).
Les referències obvies dels ‘60 com The Beatles o Harry Nilsson a les veus i la producció es barregen amb els sons californians d’Allah-Las, l’actitud visceral dels australians King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard i el punt naïf de Babe Rainbow.

En aquest disc, abraça la psicodèlia mediterrània i fa referència a les coses fetes a mà, el viure tranquil, i la contemplació i pausa. Azul és un estiu al poble on el temps sembla que no passi, on reconnectes amb tu
mateix i et deixes portar pels dies que s’allarguen fins tard. Guitarres acústiques i flautes acompanyen melodies innocents, per deixar pas a ecos de guitarres psicodèliques i sons atmosfèrics que porten a un viatge
interior cap a la intimitat, com el final d’una nit de festa.
L’última cançó, que dóna nom al disc, resumeix el concepte del pas del temps amb els bons i mals records, com una moneda de doble cara: fa por fer-se gran i perdre coses, però alhora ens genera els records que ens fan venir ganes de viure.
En el seu directe, s’acompanya de Pol Folguera a la batería, Sergi Hurtado al teclat i percussió, Simón Sánchez a la guitarra i cors i l’Èric Elias al baix. Tots junts evoquen sons eteris amb les cançons més terrenals de l’artista,
fet que equilibra la narrativa i el fil conductor del concert i l’excentricitat i la psicodèlia es fonen a l’escenari. El directe de “Motion is Emotion” farà que la gent se senti en una altra època.

El 2018, el músic va publicar el seu primer EP, “Expansion and Regression”, i durant els anys següents va autoeditar una sèrie de singles amb la col·laboració de Bert Bert. Aquests anys de crear melodies i recordar l’origen del projecte, han impulsat Azul a escriure les cançons de “Motion is Emotion” i poder explicar així el cicle sencer.

  • Set You Free

    I should have born in 1969 when we went to the moon (oh yes indeed)
    Living between the trees and roads and following the sun
    You don’t need to follow (follow)
    The rules of tomorrow (tomorrow)
    Remember you’re still free
    so just fly, fly, fly
    You don’t need to follow (follow)
    The rules of tomorrow (tomorrow)
    Remember you’re still free
    so just fly, fly, fly
    Some people may try to bring you down
    They’ll say like: “you’re not young anymore
    So here’s a message for all you folks
    Azul will set you free
    You don’t need to follow (follow)
    The rules of tomorrow (tomorrow)
    Remember you’re still free
    so just fly, fly, fly
    You don’t need to follow (follow)
    The rules of tomorrow (tomorrow)
    Remember you’re still free
    so just fly, fly, fly
    Follow the sun (x3)

  • Underdog

    I was living in peace when I met you
    I didn’t know what I was getting myself into
    but then a couple of years have passed
    and nothing’s changed
    Drinking and smoking and having good times
    we spent a lot of nights playing guitars
    but now I see it as it is darling
    I’m a little late but the underdog is telling you

    Whatcha gonna do for me
    when you don’t know what I’m worth
    when I am holding your doors
    Watcha gonna do for me
    when i’ve spent this much time
    and it’s hurting my mind

    Now you’re gonna be a star for some people
    and that’s the only good thing I can think of
    but we both know that’s not what really matters anyway
    Stressin’ and caring has been my mistake
    but that’s the way I am
    That’s the way I was raised
    But now it’s time to say goodbye darling
    I’m a little late but the underdog is telling you

    Whatcha gonna do for me
    when you don’t know what I’m worth
    when I am holding your doors
    Watcha gonna do for me
    when i’ve spent this much time
    and it’s hurting my mind

    And it still makes me feel sad (makes me feel so sad)
    Now the underdog is tired
    to make everyone feel alright
    Instead of me

    Whatcha gonna do for me
    when you don’t know what I’m worth
    when I am holding your doors
    Watcha gonna do for me
    when i’ve spent this much time
    and it’s hurting my mind
    Whatcha gonna do for me
    when you don’t know what I’m worth
    when I am holding your doors
    Watcha gonna do for me
    when i’ve spent this much time
    and it’s hurting my mind
    The underdog is saying goodbye
    The underdog is saying goodbye
    The underdog is saying goodbye
    The underdog is saying goodbye

  • Can't You See What's Wrong

    I Have Always tried to be
    Someone you’d be proud to see
    Since I came back home again
    Seems like all has been in vain
    Can’t you see what’s wrong
    Even Though I’m kind of stuck
    I’ve met some great people here
    Don’t know if you love me back
    Or we’re just friends when drinking beers
    Lift me up with you.
    Higher Higher Higher Higher High

    Now that I’ve got your attention
    I don’t know if I’m doing this thing right
    ‘cause when we talk about your ex
    You listen to me

    I Have Always tried to be
    Someone you’d be proud to see
    Since I came back home again
    Seems like all has been in vain

  • Everybody

    I’ve met a lot of people in my life
    I’ve seen tall, short, green and blue eyes
    But setting asside all the diference
    Everyone’s just looking for the same in the end

    Everybody wants love in the morning
    Everybody needs love in the evening
    Everybody needs someone to be their friend

    And don’t get me wrong listen to me
    don’t trust what you have seen in the movies
    ‘cause love goes beyond than a boyfriend or girlfriend
    love your cat love the grass and the forest around you, you, you

    Everybody wants love in the morning
    Everybody needs love in the evening
    Everybody needs someone to be their friend
    To be their friend

    Love (in the morning)
    Love
    Love (in the morning)
    Love
    In the evening
    Love (in the morning)
    Love

    No em diguis ara o mai (mai)
    No em diguis ara o mai (mai)
    Oh m’és igual si és dilluns o és dimarts
    jo el que vull
    és estar amb tu
    és estar amb tu

  • Down and Lonely

    Take a look ‘cause all you see are mirrors
    Don’t you trust you could be facing upside down
    You can smell what you taste and see what you are touching
    And then someone whispers right into my ears

    ‘Cause when you’re down and feeling lonely
    And you try to find yourself
    There’s the truth that you can’t escape

    I’ve got a question
    where all the feelings hide
    when you are pretending
    I’m not someone you like
    Well I know the answer
    ‘Cause just knowing your eyes
    I can see a reaction
    You know there’s no surprise
    So then you’re the inner voice inside my head
    (Chorus)
    ‘Cause when you’re down and feeling lonely
    And you try to find yourself
    There’s the truth that you can’t escape

    ‘Cause when you’re down and feeling lonely
    And you try to find yourself
    There’s the truth that you can’t escape
    When you’re down and feeling lonely
    And you try to find yourself
    There’s the truth that you can’t escape

  • 6 A.M.

    Són les 6 a.m. d’un dia normal
    A la copa veig tot el que he patit
    Un raig de llum em fa brillar
    Quan miro al voltant no sé com em dic
    Ara el cel és verd i el mar és vermell
    Un raig de llum em fa brillar
    Un raig de llum em fa brillar
    I jo no sé què serà de mi

  • I'm invisible

    I see myself, in a crowd,
    I don’t know nobody
    I see my mind, on a train,
    It just rides and goes on

    Last night I saw you
    in my dreams again,
    But you didn’t notice,
    I’m invisible to you
    I’m invisible.

    It’s the same old story,
    just a diferent day
    It’s not hard to notice
    that I feel this way.
    I’m invisible

  • Motion is Emotion

    Time is nothing
    You are a kid on your way back from school
    In a blink you’re 25
    your life is not so cool
    Right when motion meets emotion
    makes you wanna live
    Freezing moments for the future,
    when the present is past.

    Your smile, Your smile is not the same
    Someone made it change yesterday
    Look at me, look at what I have become
    Who I wanna be? I don’t know.

    Soon or late we’ll meet again
    this will never be the same
    there’s no turning back
    It’s the force of the universe

    It’s in the sun
    it’s in the sky
    It’s in my body
    It’s in my hair
    It’s what I like
    It’s what you’re looking for
    In the end, It’s everywhere

    Soon or late we’ll meet again
    this will never be the same
    there’s no turning back
    It’s the force of the universe
    It’s the force of the universe, yes

    It’s in the sun
    it’s in the sky
    It’s in my body
    It’s in my hair
    It’s what I like
    It’s what you’re looking for
    In the end, It’s everywhere
    It’s in the sun (Sun)
    it’s in the sky (Sky)
    It’s in my body (Body)
    It’s in my hair (Hair)
    It’s what I like (Like)
    It’s what you’re looking for
    In the end,(The end) It’s everywhere (where)
