Is that all there is? Then let’s keep dancing... by Nuno Vieira de Almeida and Vera Mantero, 2005

Whether German, Brazilian, French or American, the overwhelming majority of songs are about love. Its success or failure, its durability or ephemerality and the counterpart of loyalty that we can find in our partner. Or fidelity... (the confusion of many lyricists between one and the other is naive).
Some (fewer) also deal with sex... and these are older, appearing before this bourgeois globalisation of feelings that is flooding us today.
We want to talk about some of these and others... perhaps with some disenchantment, perhaps with some hope.
Is that all there is?
Then let's keep dancing...
