Motion is Emotion
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 goodbyeCan'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 vainEverybody
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 tuDown 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 escapeLow Tide

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 miI'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 invisibleMotion 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)
