There’s the sun hanging over the sky It meant to preach, but only carries a sigh There’s a moon that returns on the sly Leaves you helplessly out of light in your eyes There’s a church, but there are no saints in sight Or believers who’ll make it through the night There’s a living that cycles and smites Leaves you drained like a dull parasite Hold me, lay me down There’s a time that never comes to an end It goes beyond what we can both comprehend There’s a flock of souls that never ascends Indulged in sins that no repent can amend There’s an itch I’ve got since I don’t know when Eats me up, but it was gentle back then There’s a hope that keeps us howling amen But then our days return time and time again Hold me, lay me down

about

STOP! Coletânea:

500 músicos do Porto foram despejados à força do seu espaço de trabalho, que consistia em mais de 100 salas de ensaio localizadas no Centro Comercial STOP, no centro da cidade. Em reação ao despejo, organizaram já dois protestos que contaram com a presença de milhares de pessoas, incluindo artistas e figuras culturais do Porto e de Lisboa, sublinhando a importância desta comunidade para a cultura portuguesa. Os músicos dependem do seu espaço de trabalho, para preparar e guardar os seus materiais.

No entanto, o presidente da Câmara do Porto, que é também o vereador da cultura da cidade, não compreende a perturbação causada na vida destes músicos, das suas famílias e da atividade cultural da comunidade em geral. O Porto tem sofrido mudanças significativas sob a sua gestão política, perdendo a sua identidade e milhares de habitantes devido a uma crise de habitação.

500 musicians in Porto were forcefully evicted from their workspace, which consisted of more than 100 rehearsal rooms located in the STOP Shopping Center in the city center. In response to the eviction, they organized a protest attended by thousands of people, including artists and cultural figures from Porto and Lisbon, highlighting the significance of this community for Portuguese culture. The musicians depend on their workspace, especially during the peak concert season in the summer, to prepare and store their materials.

However, the mayor of Porto, who also serves as the city's cultural councilor, fails to understand the disruption caused to the lives of these musicians, their families, and the overall cultural activity in the community. Porto has experienced significant changes under its political management, losing its identity and thousands of residents due to a housing crisis.
