    "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

The album's title track. Down In Portugal ist about the moments when everything falls perfectly into place just to dissolute the very next second.

lyrics

Look at that girl
She's got tears in her eyes
Silver sunglasses
And a face that smiles

Look at that girl
Being afraid of a war
She's painting her nails
For her drink at the bar

I could swear I love her, but I don't have proof
I could swear I love her, but I don't have proof

Down in Portugal
She's taking a ride
Like a movie star
Down the coastline

All the hard luck sailors
Wait for her in line
At the slavery harbour
In the morning time

I could swear I love her, but I don't have proof
I could swear I love her, but I don't have proof

Look at me baby
It’s all right in my eyes
If you don’t turn around
It might simply pass you by

I'm stranded at
This old beach house
Look at the sun
A car leaves town

Might just be her
Passing through
‘Bout certain things
I ain’t too sure

Those chained ghosts floating
All around
A fog topping the mount

I could swear I love her, but I don’t have proof
I could swear I love her, but I don't have proof

Look at me baby
It’s all right in my eyes
If you don’t turn around
It might simply pass you by
