Just as I was getting ready for last night’s show in Austin, Thievery Corporation released a video for their new single “Depth of My Soul” with guest vocalist Shana Halligan off of their new album Saudade. The new video shows Shana traveling by horseback as she passes by old lovers and remembering the relationships. The cinematic look of the video gives the perfect visual to the theatrical sound of the song. Saudade has been on repeat since it dropped earlier this month. Starting my days with a cup of coffee, emails, and Saudade has been my ritual for the month of April. The Washington DC duo made up of Rob Garza & Eric Hilton have done a great job of putting together an album where you can hit play and let it ride. The album transports you to a different time and/or place where only happiness resides (at least for me it does). Interestingly, the album is named after the Portuguese word “saudade,” but does not have a direct English translation.
Saudade was once described as “the love that remains” after someone is gone. Saudade is the recollection of feelings, experiences, places or events that once brought excitement, pleasure, well-being, which now triggers the senses and makes one live again. – Wikipedia
