    "Lightcap nimmt uns mit auf seine Reisen und man spürt wirklich in jedem Moment des Albums, wie wichtig ihm das Thema ist und wie gern er Bilder in unseren Köpfen zum Leben erwecken möchte. Das gelingt ihm und so fühlen wir uns sehr wohl in seinen melancholischen Folk-Klängen." Soundkartell Review

    Down in Portugal ist die zweite LP von Lightcap (2018 erschien Be True To Your Heart (LP); 2016 Companion(EP)).

    Das Album wurde in fünf Studios (Frankfurt a.M., Den Haag, Weimar, Naumburg, Halle) mit Musikern aus sechs Ländern (Spanien, Niederlande, Deutschland, Rumänien, Litauen, Südkorea) aufgenommen.

about

A night's journey to an unknown place and finding familiar faces.

lyrics

Was heading into Babylon
With the full moon in my eyes
I didn’t speak to anyone
No one even came to sight
The square was quiet near big ruin
Just a stray dog barked in fright
I checked into Lorraine hotel
I had you on my mind

A guy named Phillip walked up to me
He gave me his last bread
Said “Go eat what you need my son
I will have some wine instead.”
We went down to the harbour
Caught some fish, watched the seagulls’ flight
We were quiet for a littlе while
I had you on my mind

Was leaving town by the brеak of day
In the early morning light
A lady washed her baby’s clothes
She was standing by the roadside
Our eyes met for a second
Felt like our souls intertwined
The earth shook for a little while
I had you on my mind
