Influenced by Elis Regina, Milton Nascimento, Caetano Veloso, Maria Bethânia. Elis Reggio was raised in the working-class Lagoinha neighborhood of Belo Horizonte, the eldest of six children. While her father worked the iron ore mines and her mother sewed late into the night, Elis's powerhouse voice became the soundtrack to her siblings' childhoods, sung over stovetops and bedtime stories. Her songs, steeped in the theatricality of Brazilian MPB, are letters to the family she raised, exploring the fierce, complicated love that holds a house together. She found her stage late, in a smoky jazz club, finally singing for herself.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
O azul cobalto da Afonso Pena, num pote de vidro.
Minhas mãos, estranhas no pincel, acostumadas com linha e agulha.
Era o frio de junho, o cheiro de terebintina no ar.
A tela em branco, um insulto, um espelho que não me via.

[Chorus]
E por anos, te odiei nesse quadro.
Meu rosto, um borrão de barro e cobalto.
Uma raiva mansa, um amor torto.
De quem eu fui pra quem eu sou, um corpo a corpo.

[Verse 2]
Lembro da sua voz na cozinha, costurando a bainha do Zeca.
"'Essas mãos são pra remendo, não pra mancha,' você disse baixo."
E cada pincelada era um fio que eu rompia, uma desculpa.
Um egoísmo novo, a minha única e sagrada culpa.

[Bridge]
Até que uma tarde, a luz bateu diferente.
E eu não vi a filha, a irmã, a ausente.
Vi a ruga exata, o cansaço bom no meu olhar.
E a tinta secou. E eu me deixei ficar.

[Outro]
O azul cobalto, agora quieto no pote de vidro.
Minhas mãos, enfim, descansando no meu próprio colo.
