O Canto dos Homens Conto, by Manel Cruz

 

One of the great songs from Foge Foge Bandido, one of the solo projects of Manel Cruz, a portuguese musician and artist that leaves us speechless with his work.

 

There's a strong critical opinion about society in this piece, socially and personally. This songs embraces the opressor and the opressed; someone who's in charge and someone who's always suffering the concequences. 

The corrupt, the hypocrite, the men who controls us with their virtual power and gives us no chance but to survive. Someone who talks much and does nothing.

 

These are all ordinary people, but with a strong visual expression that shows how each one of them feels about this prison, from where they can't escape.
