What R We Waiting 4 Napkin I found myself since I found you It’s like it had to be this way It’s an unbreakable bond Like a link connecting us We are the spark before the flame We always knew that we could do this What are we waiting for? I lost myself searching for you It’s like it had to be this way And now I need to fix these things What if we knew everything before? We are the spark before the flame We always knew that we could do this What are we waiting for Are we ready? Are we ready now?

Fire Up 04:04
Fire Up Napkin Some people think they are better than others They think there is no chance we could do what they do well, let me ask you something what can I do? I’ll never hide who I am don’t be a fool. see through the skin and change your point of view empieza con la idea que te tratan de vender muestran moldes, padrones y dicen que es mejor pa usted seguis ciego, sin parpadear, te van convencer buscas la felicidad que viste en la tele ayer queres convertirte en alguien que podrías ser eso es pura envidia y vanidad, solo por placer date cuenta de todo lo que podes hacer, tenes poder, podes obtener, recrecer, transcender. refrão heeeey, ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh fire up what’s in your soul heeeey, ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh no one can steal that from you heeeey, ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh the world will be a better place if we all come together as one. BREAK THE WALL and the mask that keeps you in fantasy can’t you see? we connect in diversity tratemos de dejar todo el prejuicio a un costado saca ese sentimiento que te deja envenenado somos uno, hechos de carne y hueso te digo, saca el odio y de la espalda todo el peso No hay nada mas gratificante que hacer cosas buenas de amor y energia el alma se llena a las próximas generaciones dejemos algo profundo yo se que juntos podemos cambiar nuestro mundo

Here I am Happy Napkin when I go down the stairs and immerse in a whole new world i find myself by getting lost and I surrender to this feeling So now I open up my arms and I Try to take out all the pain. Around me there’s this energy and it’s Not that hard to just let it be Never thought I could live like this I never thought I could be happier. So now open up your arms and be happy with me here all the people share all the good things they have to give laughter, memories, happiness and this feeling never ends So now I open up my arms and I Try to take out all the pain. Around me there’s this energy and it’s Not that hard to just let it be Never thought I could live like this I never thought I could be happier. So now open up your arms and be happy with me here I am happy here I am happier

Why 04:25
Why Napkin people should know they should show so much more respect You couldn't ever know how your actions might affect to destroy another life can be the meanest side effect I guess you did not mean that, right? You start to understand how fragile can be a life You start to understand that danger can be just talk You start to understand how deadly can be a lie I guess you did not mean that, right? They act like they could get it but they would not be strong enough they try to fake is all just fine Would they put themselves in my place? I locked my heart the way I could I will give life another chance I hope you come and free me out Give me a million reasons.. Why? You’re not less or more than me It’s time for you to believe Why? I know I shouldn't be here But I’m trying to fit in Why? Maybe I’ll leave my life behind Only you can change my mind Give me a million reasons why You need to understand a word can save a life You never know what kind of battles someone’s trying to fight That’s why you always, always must be kind I'm sure is not a waste of time

ASMR 04:16
ASMR Napkin This is gonna happen again tonight “I’m in control, I’m in control” and I ask myself, I ask myself How can I go through this one more time? I ask myself... it seems to be an endless feeling (why do I always feel like this) I try to breathe, not to surrender (when I’m supposed to sleep) maybe I’ll find a way, maybe I’ll find a way on my own I’ll find a way to get out I got a lump in my throat My heart’s beating faster I feel nervous about something I don’t even know and I ask myself, I ask myself How can I go through this one more time? I ask myself... it seems to be an endless feeling (why do I always feel like this) I try to breathe, not to surrender (when I’m supposed to sleep) maybe I’ll find a way, maybe I’ll find a way on my own I’ll find a way to get out don’t try to end it this way don’t try to end, don’t try to end it this way don’t try to end, don’t try to end you this way

Stay Strong 04:35
Stay Strong Napkin Life's course is but a path Sometimes it takes you back Just so you can start again Welcome to your new day Life has given you a second chance You have been born again Do whatever you want Welcome to your new life You know you have the power inside of you Look for it now, you're just getting started You're gonna figure it out somehow And here we go again Stay strong believing Cause even being a wreck We're never done in What kills you is not the beating of your heart It's what prevents you from living those beats You know there's no beauty in that Welcome to your new life You know you have the power inside of you Look for it now, you're just getting started You're gonna figure it out somehow And here we go again Stay strong believing Cause even being a wreck We're never done in The world gets better When you see it through the kindness Look through this lens Change your world, and change your life once again It's up to only you And here we go again Stay strong believing Cause even being a wreck We're never done in

Save Me 04:31
Save Me Napkin i don’t wanna believe what you say yeah, you can do that so easily all these expressions on your face This always confuses me I'm in this bathroom, lying on the floor waiting for the violent silence to carry me on my feelings get lost, one by one This always confuses me I guess you're trying me now i really can't explain you’re supposed to be my hero i'm speechless where do I go? no one can save me, save me Wherever I go no one can save me, save me we need to, fix all these by our own, you and me Wherever I go no one can save me, save me I wish i could make you understand it's been years we are fighting these non sense war who’s gonna be the first one calling it off? still, this always confuses me I guess you're testing me now i really can't explain you’re supposed to be my hero i'm speechless I know I’m supposed to sing something that makes sense right now but I feel deep in my bones I should speak what’s on my mind, somehow. so now that I got all this space and time I think, I think, and now I realize that Saying what you really wanna say is something to admire so I’m sorry if a didn’t live up to your expectations I tried to but there’s a wall that won’t let me be one day I’ll have these confrontations And also face these conversations For now I’ll just try to enjoy this creation, no complications, with all the vibrations. I’m already here and I’m already prepared forget your obligations, please, be my salvation.

Qua!¡t-•co Napkin We thought a lot about it And it’s hard to find the right way To thank you all for being by our side For everything we couldn’t have done by ourselves We’re grateful for all we’ve achieved And most of it is thanks to you I see all these people 'round me And they are all singing along with me We’re all in this together And we will never surrender Even if we’re distant love will last forever Now that you are here, yeah (you're here, yeah) Our eyes are full of tears (we need ya) We have all we need, yeah (we need ya) You took away all of our fears Yo ya se que pa cantar a mi se me complica pero bueno me pongo las pilas que al lado tengo esta chica hace rato yo quería escribirte algo pero sería raro escribirte y vos misma cantarlo entonces yo abro toda mi alma, pido que la mente se me abra y paciencia porque yo escribo y vos ayudas con estas palabras ahora dejame decirte, por vos tengo las mejores cosas que existen gracias por mostrarme el amor que tengo aca adentro yo creo, lucho, sueño y con vos las fuerzas encuentro they would say: “heads up, get up, get up, stand up” and they would go: “heads up, get up, get up, stand up” And they would say: “heads up, get up, get up, stand up” Put your hands up

Soul on Fire Napkin Everything, all the people I thought there was nothing behind the wall keeping us from reality how could I known my imagination would be the truth after all? Lost, confused, alone and fighting for everything that makes me wanna stay in every look, in every moment I go back to the starting line I won't go yeah without your hand holding mine I can't wake up and stay around the same old things 'cause my soul's on fire I say goodbye to you today although you were everything to me back then Please tell me loving is enough and be my strength to keep going Lost, confused, alone and fighting for everything that makes me wanna stay in every look, in every moment I go back to the starting line I won't go yeah without your hands holding mine I can't wake up and stay in the same old room 'cause my soul's on fire I can keep my head up after all Can you keep your head up after all?

My Time 05:44
My Time Napkin I was paralyzed by everything I always wanted every goal, every expectation, every dream Oh I can see all these faces facing me but can’t really get them. are they happy? Sad? Thrilling? Are they my mirror? I don’t wanna reflect my fears and insecurities but sometimes that is all I have inside me. What if I don’t become what they expect? What if I shout but no one can ever hear me? Sometimes it feels lonely on this side but what if I told you I ain’t gonna quit? Would you take my hand and walk with me through thick and thin? Cause I’ll keep on trying even if I’m terrified I know my time is coming Believe me, I do this for me but I do this for you as well. Don’t let me be gone My time, my time is coming

about

Napkin estreia com disco altamente confessional e belíssimas vozes
Release por Tony Aiex - Tenho Mais Discos Que Amigos

A banda catarinense Napkin está lançando o seu primeiro disco I.NN.PAK e com ele um verdadeiro turbilhão de canções pessoais.

Conhecida pelas explosivas performances ao vivo, aqui a dupla de Joinville viaja por novos elementos e ambientes, mostrando influências que vão do Rock ao Pop para falar de assuntos bastante pessoais em suas vidas, carreiras e sobre a forma como elas enxergam o mundo.

Tanto quiseram falar, que Natana e Kimberly capricharam nas interpretações e gravações das vozes, destaque do disco, e também o fizeram em diversas línguas, como na ótima “Fire Up”, que tem letras em Inglês e Espanhol para celebrar a igualdade e falar sobre como o mundo tentará te encaixar em moldes e padrões.

Além de compor e gravar o disco, a dupla também produziu todas as faixas, com exceção de “Soul On Fire”, que conta com participação de Narrow-J, e o técnico da banda Nathan Ricardo captou os sons em seu estúdio, Tora AudioWork, mixando boa parte do trabalho.

“Don’t Piss Me Off”, “Stay Strong”, “What R We Waiting 4” e “Soul On Fire” foram mixadas por Kimberly Neves e, todas com mensagens bastante potentes, foram mixadas, masterizadsa e produzidas unicamente por mulheres.

As experiências pessoais da Napkin foram todas inundadas recentemente por um concurso no Hard Rock Cafe Brasil que acabou as levando para uma final em Nova York, e é impossível não perceber a influência do ocorrido em “Fire Up”, que nasceu ali, bem como na vontade de finalmente colocar os sons no mundo, gravando tudo por conta própria e iniciando uma carreira que promete render bons frutos no futuro.

I.NN.PAK é um disco poderoso que mostra o início da carreira da Napkin como artistas, expõe bagagens, opiniões, posicionamentos e conselhos com sinceridade e ainda traz belas interpretações de sons que ecoam pela mente de uma dupla criativa e das mais representativas da nova música indie brasileira hoje em dia.

É o início para um nome que tem vontade de fazer, acontecer, e, definitivamente, um futuro brilhante pela frente.
