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]
Quantos remendos um pano aguenta
antes de não ser mais o pano da avó?
Carregamos os nomes nas cinzas de Setembro,
pedras de itabirito no fundo do bolso.
O silêncio deles tem o peso
de uma porta que nunca mais rangeu.

[Chorus]
E nós costuramos a noite com agulha cega,
pra que o esquecimento não nos desfaça.

[Verse 2]
“Não deixa o nome morrer na boca,” a velha dizia,
com as mãos no terço, a reza já vazia.
O cheiro de terra que a chuva levanta
é a única missa que ainda nos canta.

[Chorus]
E nós costuramos a noite com agulha cega,
pra que o esquecimento não nos desfaça.

[Instrumental]

[Bridge]
Matar alguém é apagar a foto?
Ou só deixar o seu santo de pau oco?
Somos a dívida e o pagamento.

[Chorus]
E nós costuramos a noite com agulha cega,
pra que o esquecimento não nos desfaça!

[Outro]
A linha que nos prende... é a mesma que nos corta.
