    "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

Don't Be So Mad is about the struggle of being happy, being good and being loved in our post-modern reality.

lyrics

Don’t be so mad
I only want you to love me
Don’t be so mad
You’re the cause of it all
Don’t be so mad
I am not gonna hurt you
Don’t be so mad
No don’t be so cruel

When I was a young boy
They taught me and everybody knows
There’re children selling guns to the bums on skid row
Who sell their kidneys to get a loan
They’re only providing for their beloved families
A thing neither of us has ever done
So don’t

Don’t be so mad
I only want you to love me
Don’t be so mad
You’re thе cause of it all
I made you breakfast
Hеre is some coffee
Don’t be so mad
It’s all just good fun

When I was a sailor
I built an empire that spanned the seas
Trade started blooming, markets were booming
Like mono-crops and viral disease
Honey this postcolonial order is a sad sad business
But it’s not what’s going on ‘tween you and me
So don’t

Sure the world is mad, oh it’s so bad, yeah alright
"You begin saving the world by saving one man at a time"

Those are the stars
Here is a rainbow
Don’t be so mad
It’s not that bad at all
