Saudade is a beautiful Portuguese word, describing a “vague and constant desire for something that does not and probably cannot exist ... a turning towards the past or towards the future“. is a great article about it. This song was written when I was moving to the United States. A combination of feelings, including nostalgia and fear of future, based on 6/8 arpeggio structure of “Fase 1“ by great italian virtuoso Pino Forastiere, inspired me to write this tune.
