Título: The TravelsArtista: Golden Castles Data de Lançamento: 29 de Julho de 2025 (30/04/22) Duração: 48 minutos e 52 segundos Gêneros: Garage Rock, Blues, Alternative Rock, Country, Pop, Jazz Gravadora: Rocket Composição: Golden Castles Produção: Golden Castles
Depois de dois anos, a banda Golden Castles retorna lançando seu segundo álbum de estúdio, "The Travels". Em mais um álbum solo, a banda apresenta 13 músicas inéditas, essas contam com os singles So Violet, Holy Groove e o smash-hit Closure. The Travels soa como uma continuação mais amadurecida do primeiro álbum da banda, dessa vez com outras referências e outras reflexões que apareceram com os eventos da vida.
Assim como o álbum anterior, The Travels também conversa sobre uma viagem interna, mas dessa vez buscando reforçar dois conceitos: a definição de lar e a forma certa de expressar nossas necessidades. Tudo isso transparece pela sonoridade do disco, que mesmo mantendo raízes sonoras da banda, soa como algo totalmente novo e apresenta uma nova atmosfera, abandonando o P&B das eras passadas e apostando em um visual mais leve.
O CD vem com 4 posters e um booklet com fotos da produção, além de notas pessoais da banda.
The Travels é uma carta aberta, repleta de referências, inspirações e histórias reais. Abrir esse diário é dar mais um passo a caminho da aceitação.

01. Where Else Can I Go?
A música que abre o disco começa com uma pergunta: Como somos tão habituados com nossas inseguranças? A música fala sobre como já estamos convencidos sobre nossos problemas e como é complicado lidar com isso. A letra ainda critica a pressão imposta a nós para acertos desde a infância, e como isso reflete na nossa atualidade e nos deixa perdidos. O instrumental segue o garage rock conhecido pela banda, mas agora com algumas influências de outros gêneros.
How did I learn to walk on my tiptoes? How do I assume that I'm confused? And how do I know when to let go? Where else can I go, where else can I go?
Prove me that my pride is not able to defend me Prove it to my heart that I'm strong enough Prove it to my love that he overcomes any barrier And prove me that this time things will really happen
I found some risks when people kept moving my lead 'Cause me, and who I was, was not enough Where else can I go? Where else can I go?
You made your family proud and the world knows 'Cause when you hit that test you didn't expect to be broken down Thought it was humility but you were sad now that you're can't have doubts Where else can I go, where else can I go
Prove me that my pride is not able to defend me Prove it to my heart that all my fears are wrong Prove it to my love that he overcomes any barrier And prove me that this time things will really happen
I found some risks when people kept moving my lead 'Cause me, and who I was, was not enough Where else can I go? Where else can I go?
Prove me that my pride is really capable of blind me Prove it to my heart that I'm strong enough Prove it to my love that I'm not alone and paranoid And prove me that this time I will know where I belong
I found some risks when people kept moving my lead 'Cause me, and who I was, was not enough Where else can I go? Where else can I go?
I found some risks when people kept moving my lead 'Cause me, and who I was, was not enough Where else can I go? Where else can I go? Where else can I go?
02. Bitter
Se aventurando no country, Golden Castles falam sobre a amargura em certos momentos da vida, e se ligam a música anterior ao discutir sobre o trauma em iniciar novos momentos na vida por isso. Bitter faz referência a outras músicas da banda, como o hit Ocean of Tears e The Answer, fazendo um comparativo do que acreditavam pro que acreditam agora.
I feel a bitter taste
Whenever we talk about pain
There's a whole of chances
But it never has a start
'Cause I know how easy is be broken with a heart of glass
And have the shards swept under the mat, yeah
Oh, yeah
And I freeze with the snow
This place has become so cold
I don't feel alive even with my lungs hurting now
And I see all blue
It's my world behind my mask
Freeze my surroundings to push away the truth
And now I know how I empty my home like this
My mistakes put us in a hush
Bitter
What good are old songs if I don't believe them?
A ocean of tears that I let dreft
Bitter
I'm in need of fuel
To put these feet on the road
Once with the answer found
I have nothing else here
But I still have pain to keep
Reminder that changes me
And when love costs now, cherish it, remember it
And now I know how I empty my home like this
My mistakes put us in a hush
Bitter
What good are old songs if I don't believe them?
A ocean of tears that I let dreft
Bitter
Oh, oh
Well, harder the fight I get any less frustrated
My hands shake, and I tried anyway, but
It wasn't just your love that I needed to taste
It's a hurt loss, it's life, i'ts all my attempts
It's bitter
'And now I know how I empty my home like this
My mistakes put us in a hush
Bitter
What good are old songs if I don't believe them?
A ocean of tears that I let dreft
Bitter
And now I know how I empty my home like this
My mistakes put us in a hush
Bitter
What good are old songs if I don't believe them?
A ocean of tears that I let dreft
Bitter
03. I Can Stand
Golden Castles exploram o pop e uma vertente do R&B na terceira faixa do álbum, trazendo uma música um pouco mais leve de se ouvir — mas com uma letra difícil de admitir. Ela é bem clara e fala sobre como a essa altura invejamos o progredir de outra pessoa, principalmente alguém que gostamos. É uma realidade, por mais chata de aceitar que seja. As vezes essa inveja existe mesmo.
"Hey, uh, what's up
Just calling to see if you're still up
I remembered those tales
Uh, yeah I dreamed
Um, if you're up or whatever just give me good luck"
Can you look me?
I can stand, I hold our feelings
I won the gribs of my bed
'Cause your voice keeps resounding
All I keep thinking is how could you live your life?
Why didn't you wait 'til I was fine?
I just knew that I would lose
But I don't want to see
I was crawling in your feets
Didn't make you keep
I'm envying your way
Envying your way
Envying your way, envying your way
Envying your way
Remnants of faith
Envying your way, envying your way
Can you look me?
I can stand, I hold our feelings
I won the gribs of my bed
'Cause your voice keeps resounding
All I keep thinking is how could you live your life?
Why didn't you wait 'til I was fine?
Sorry for all that you missed
You should have left me burning
You rebuilted before me
When will it be my turn?
I'm envying your way
Envying your way
Envying your way, envying your way
Envying your way
Envying your way
Envying your way, envying your way
Can you look me?
I can stand, I hold our feelings
I won the gribs of my bed
'Cause your voice keeps resounding
All I keep thinking is how could you live your life?
Why didn't you wait 'til I was fine?
Just look at me, I can stand
Just look at me, I can stand
Just look at me, I can stand
Just look at me, I can stand
04. Closure
Closure é o lead single e grande smash-hit do disco, alcançando o top 3 das paradas mais disputadas do mundo. Você pode ler mais informações sobre o lead single aqui. É divertido como a mensagem dessa soa como um avanço da faixa anterior.
I used to treat this love as I treat me
Noticed how it hurts
There is a crowbar between these feelings
To put it up and I think
Maybe I deserve a little more
But it's hard to closure
I'll wait with flowers at your door
I should be more proud Cause
A bird doesn't need to fly in storm
But I always did
I am so scared to be alone
But that's all I see
At least sometimes you talk about me
Oh, there is a hope
I shined for you to be remembered
Just to feel whole now I know
Maybe I forget the affection
And being kind to myself
Feel like I can't trust anymore
I should be more proud Cause
A bird doesn't need to fly in storm
But I always did
I am so scared to be alone
But that's all I see
And I put this in a throne
Inside myself is where I belong
I will always care with your love
There's nothing i can do
But I will be closing this door
To put a closure on you
A bird doesn't need to fly in storm
And I can't be afraid to be alone
But I always did and
A bird doesn't need to fly in storm
And I always did
And I can't be afraid to be alone
Tell me how fix it

05. Redemption
Redemption é uma crítica direta a mensagem passada no Something is Missing, disco anterior da banda. Aqui, eles tem a consciência de que a redenção aos problemas — e viver como se não existissem — é um conceito muito mais errado e superficial. A redenção não nos muda por completo se não tivermos mais intenções além disso. A sonoridade é muito mais madura que o comum pra banda, surpreendendo com vocais mais crescidos e uma produção mais elaborada.
It's been like some years since I've been home The beasts at the door still make me torn My flag is high, I'm still awake But it hurts to call for help
I'm lying if I stay I'm lying if I stay My biggest fear Is draw my path
Baby Accepting didn't make it change I don't adapt to my monsters Redemption, don't makes me new Redemption, don't makes me new
I heard my songs some days ago I was desperate to fill my void Baby, I won't find my answer here Or I become one more loveless And I'm lying if I stay Lying if I stay Can't forgive My loneliness
Baby Accepting didn't make it change I don't adapt to my monsters Redemption, don't makes me new
Oh, mother please, this don't feel right My heart will keep burning Until it sends the next tide Oh, and when I'm drowned Is it late for hope? Oh, put me back together In your crooked lines At least I will live
And I don't lived enough Mother, please I can't give up
Baby Accepting didn't make it change I don't adapt to my monsters Redemption, don't makes me new Redemption, don't makes me new
06. Hope We Meet Again
E aqui se inicia a viagem interna em busca dessa nova cura. Ao invés da redenção, Golden Castles tentam recuperar as partes boas de seu passado e tirar proveito delas para construir um bom futuro. Tudo ao som de um reconfortante folk, "Hope We Meet Again". Diferente de "Bitter", nessa música a banda cria uma memória melhor para suas músicas antigas.
Took a deep breath in the mirror
Dug up some letters from the drawer
That's new
I threw the moments out the window
They put me back when I need them
That's new, that's new
And past is something hard to taste
As long as the scars bleed on my face
And I cure
There's good sides I want to keep
The smell of childhood on my bedsheets
It's bright and blue
And I need to keep my flame like
My little kid
They say it's strange but I think its funny
'Cause it makes me live
I wrote and discarded thousands of songs
To feel that sting of love
That cure and burn and change
If I lost me, on old portraits
I hope we meet again
You say you've never met someone who
Save all the memories in weird tattoos
But I do
I get nostalgic in a glass of wine
I would never let this river dry
My rules
And I need to keep my flame like
My little kid
They say it's strange but I think its funny
'Cause it makes me live
I kept in a chest all my old songs
To feel that sting of love
That cure and burn and change
If I lost me, on old portraits
I hope we meet again
The travels takes me every part, on my heart
But make everything link up
And I keep it high, about the old me
Who walks by my side every single teardrop
That will never fit in a track
And for the first time
What's past is past
And I need to keep my flame like
My little kid
They say it's strange but I think its funny
'Cause it makes me live
I kept in a chest all my old songs
To feel that sting of love
That cure and burn and change
If I lost me, on old portraits
I hope we meet again
If I lost me, on these new days
I hope we meet again
07. Won't Walk Alone
Em uma ressuscitada na energia do álbum, Golden Castles preparam um pop-jazz confortável sobre as redes de apoio que fazem as pessoas se conectarem. A banda já fez músicas criticando a internet anteriormente, mas deve-se também falar da parte boa. Eles falam como cada coisa pequena, mesmo que não pareça, são o suficiente para fazer alguém recomeçar.
Wearing my tank tops, body speak
Refreshing advices on my instagram feed
Smiles appear like tides, what a pride thread
Screaming on my phone, make me feel like home
Say I'm not alone
I won't walk alone
I won't walk alone
I won't walk alone
Crying my heart out, body speak
Your start makes me start, that cozy tweet
It's one of many games, I can win
I won't walk alone
I won't walk alone
I won't walk alone
I won't walk alone
I won't walk alone
I won't walk alone
I won't walk alone
That loneliness seems a matter of view
Your head on my shoulder, I see you
I see you more than you think
I see your scars even though I'm not your friend
Under the alliances and hashtags
The tears won't mark your new chapter
It was the most intimate hug when they told me:
You walk beside me, not behind me
And if you can't, let us talk
And I can speak for who don't find your own sound
'Cause just one voice is never loud enough
I can speak for who don't find your own sound
'Cause just one voice is never loud enough
08. So Violet
Sendo provavelmente a faixa mais pessoal do disco, So Violet foi o segundo-single principal e é também a grande chave de virada para a reta final do álbum. O emocionante otimismo no fim da música é o que dá sentido ao The Travels. Uma homenagem para todos aqueles que perderam alguém (e pra quem gosta de Por Lugares Incríveis rs). Você pode ler mais sobre o single aqui.
So Violet, tell your story
Tell me all the bright places that you knew
You lost him, crashed your romance
But this story is about the growth in you
'Cause we all lost someone
But you can still be strong
Even when you drop all your guns
(Drop all your guns)
You're not weak for let him go
(Just let it go)
So lonely, Mr. party
Hard to lose the one who really knew
Why keep that savior complex?
There's nothing left to save without you
So who am I trying to be?
If I still have courage in me
Even when you drop all your guns
(Drop all your guns)
You're not weak for let him go
(Just let it go)
You're not guilty, you can't control
(You can't control)
Even when you drop all your guns
So Golden, tell your story
Tell'm about the travels that you sang
Like Violet, see bright places
Who knows now something fucking change
Cause honestly we tired
In hide pain to be nice
Boy, the world's spinning 'round
Holding down, drowning your sounds
Boy, you can't give in now
You're strong, strong enough
Boy, the world's spinning 'round
Holding down, drowning your sounds
Boy, you can't give in now
You're strong, strong enough

09. Arrow
A nona faixa do disco explora um rock-blues e soa exatamente como uma solução da primeira faixa: encontrar uma direção na vida. Eles percebem que calma é inimiga da perfeição, e que diferente do último disco, não precisam ir atrás de uma grande resposta de todos os seus problemas, mas sim atrás de um início para isso. Essa é a viagem. A música ainda faz analogia ao caminho de um arco-íris que segundo o conto popular, guarda um grande pote de ouro no final.
I've praying for me all these nights I know that precious things are really hard to find A key For me
And these hills make me lose my stride I guess love it's not the answer but is just the start That I need That I need
Oh, there is my arrow And I'Il follow So there is my arrow Is my rainbow
I've been living a great hindsight My gives and takes and all my love its been enough And I fit Right here
Tears and fears and feeling proud To say I love you, right out loud, and open this cell For me I'm free
Oh, there is my arrow And I'Il follow So there is my arrow Is my rainbow
Oh, there is my arrow And I'Il follow So there is my arrow Is my rainbow
Oh, there is my arrow And I'Il follow So there is my arrow Is my rainbow
10. Holy Groove
O terceiro single do disco é definitivamente a mais pop da carreira da banda até hoje, e traz uma letra bem divertida sobre uma temática que vem sido introduzida nas faixas anteriores. A letra fala tratar nosso próprio ritmo como sagrado e seguir ele rigorosamente. Só nós sabemos nosso limite, e seja lá quanto tempo custe essa viagem, bons serão os frutos dela no final. Cai de cabeça, sempre com leveza. Leia mais sobre o single aqui.
Little, little Middleton
Just I know how my farm grew (ooh, baby)
And I built all these walls
So I occupy all these rooms (ooh, baby)
LV, drinks and downtown horses
I'm a cowboy loving my youth (ooh, baby)
I destroyed my crystal ball
Slowness makes me smooth
(Tonight I'Il glow)
If I'm shiny, everybody gonna shine (yeah, I'm gold)
May' I'll born like this when I'm back on next time (now you know)
At my rodeo, we will dance all the time (turn the song!)
'Cause as long as I'm a child, will be night
Now It's my turn to just dictate my moves
Better dance with my rules
Better pray my holy groove, baby
Ain't my fault if I have nothing more to lose
Haste has always been cruel
Time for pray my holy groove
Ya-ya-ee, ya-ya-ee, ya-ya-ee, ya-ya-ee
That's my holy groove, that's my, that's my holy groove
Ya-ya-ee, ya-ya-ee, ya-ya-ee, ya-ya-ee
That's my holy groove, that's my, that's my holy groove (ooh, baby)
No, I'm not kicked at all
Still got some juicy on me (ooh, baby)
But I like to look chic
Cause this is how a cowboy should feel (ooh, baby)
If I go through a squeeze
And the poor cowboy can't risk (can't risk, can't risk, can't risk)
Honey, take a breathe
You know that you born for this (night of glow!)
If I'm shiny, everybody gonna shine (yeah, I'm gold)
May' I'll born like this when I'm back on next time (now you know)
At my rodeo, we will dance all the time (turn the song!)
'Cause as long as I don't feel the sun, it's my night
Now It's my turn to just dictate my moves
Better dance with my rules
Better pray my holy groove, baby
Ain't my fault if I have nothing more to lose
Haste has always been cruel
Time for pray my holy groove
Ya-ya-ee, ya-ya-ee, ya-ya-ee, ya-ya-ee
That's my holy groove, that's my, that's my holy groove
Ya-ya-ee, ya-ya-ee, ya-ya-ee, ya-ya-ee
That's my holy groove, that's my, that's my holy groove (alright)
Somebody come get this man
I think he's starting a onlyfans, what? Onlyfans, what?
The cowboy is not the same
I told I love him and he says "thanks", what?
He says "thanks"
It's the self love game
Now It's my turn to just dictate my moves
Better dance with my rules
Better pray my holy groove, baby
Ain't my fault if I have nothing more to lose (More to lose)
Haste has always been cruel
Time for pray my holy groove (pray my holy groove)
Ya-ya-ee (yay-ya), ya-ya-ee, ya-ya-ee, ya-ya-ee
That's my holy groove, that's my, that's my holy groove
Ya-ya-ee (ya-ya-ee), ya-ya-ee, ya-ya-ee, ya-ya-ee
That's my holy groove, that's my, that's my holy groove
(That's my holy groove, yeah)
11. Be Mad!
O nome da música já diz por si só. A grande teen anthem do álbum faz um grande pedido ao público: se irrite! A banda que sempre foi conhecida por sua face mais pacífica hoje brava pela rebeldia quando estamos expostos a situações extremas em relação ao nosso emocional. Não dá pra deixar passar tanta coisa em branco.
There are a thousand reasons for you to cross that line
Baby, you deserve to sleep relieved tonight
Stop lying and pretend you don't care
(You better turn off that phone)
The sour taste is already on your tongue
Boy, you better let them know
You better be mad with those new days
With that phone ring and the lies you knew
Why don't you be mad and react it?
Fight for nothing like you need do
Oh, beat it, like you need it
You live for it, even if it sounds new
You better be mad, be mad
With rules!
You think you're holy grave, but you are bury alive
Come back like a zombie and devour their minds
See how they ripped out your stacks
Clean that mess!
And revenge suddenly appears more and more intense
You better be mad with those new days
With that phone ring and the lies you knew
Why don't you be mad and react it?
Fight for nothing like you need do
Oh, kick it, like you need it
You live for it, even if it sounds new
You better be mad, be mad
With rules!
It's cruel the way I looked enchanted
On how freedom just sounds enough
But it's not over while I still feeling
And I don't want to get choked anymore
You better be mad with those new days
With that phone ring and the lies you knew
Why don't you be mad and react it?
Fight for nothing like you need do
Oh, kick it, like you need it
You live for it, even if it sounds new
You better be mad, be mad
With rules!
Be mad! (be mad)
Be mad! (be mad)
Be mad! (be mad)
Be mad! (be mad)
Oh, kick it, like you need it
You live for it, even if it sounds new
You better be mad, be mad
You better be mad, be mad
You better be mad, be mad
Be mad, yaw!
12. My Silence
A penúltima música é o vislumbre final da evolução da banda, do começo ao fim do disco. Aqui são mais fortes e se amam com suas imperfeições, além de deixar uma mensagem importante: A voz silenciada que antes privava eles de continuarem, hoje é um silêncio mortal que os blinda do que realmente é ruim. A música segue um rock indie clássico da banda, com uma letra emocionante e forte.
Something about who I was made me find the truth
There was something in my cry that made you put me a mute
I could never be a crystal clear, there is a lot of dirt on me
Among all these fears, a inconsistent, there's not a line to live
And you might not want to see me inside
It's a hurricane you don't need
But I want me in first
'Cause your love don't want me complete
And you can drown out your sounds 'but not my silence
Am I losing time when I hide these little scars on me?
Am I losing kind when I cry for things I needed to leave?
'Cause I'm impatient for complexity, cause I was made of pieces
And I'm too that, too this... I have a voice and now I want to speak
And you might not want to see me inside
A thread of mistakes that sews me
But I want me in first
'Cause your love don't want me complete
You won sticks and bones 'but not my silence
You won sticks and bones 'but not
You won sticks and bones 'but not
You won sticks and bones 'but not my silence
You can drown out your sounds 'but not
You can drown out your sounds 'but not
You can drown out your sounds 'but not my silence
13. Honey, I'm Home
Chegando ao fim da grande jornada, The Travels encerra com a resposta perfeita para a primeira pergunta no início do álbum. Depois de tanto viajar, se conhecer e se adaptar a nova realidade, é hora de voltar para o lar. O meu lar, onde quer que seja.
From hundreds of miles and songs I've been traveling
Now I take my coat and hang my hat, saying
Hello, honey, I'm home
I think I learned
Back from the last place where I was seen with hate
I dusted off my mirrors and I finally staring
Hello, honey, I'm home
I brought some love
'Cause I made me brand new with lessons I heard too
"You need to use forgiveness
Even with you"
I jumped in your arms when I abandoned my flight
The weather is changing and you're on by my side
Hello, honey, I'm home
I'm not afraid
I can speak loud and my habits has the same sound
And maybe we can fight but you love my scars
Hello, honey, I'm home
For me this is enough
Cause I made me brand new with lessons I heard too
"You need to use ambition
To find the true"
I never allowed my fortune to be robbed
My old songs are still part of me
Tell them this travel hasn't changed me, hasn't changed me at all
Last night I was climbing another hill
'Cause always has troubles as if I have something to prove
Hello, honey, I'm home
Used to be worse
I worried about the sleep I was wasting
Fearing the dawn even with the sun shining my face
Hello, honey, I'm home
I think I learned
Cause I made me brand new with lessons I heard too
"You need to use forgiveness
Even with you"
A thousand tries, I never played to lose it
My essence still completes me
Tell them this travel hasn't changed me, hasn't changed me at all
I was dancing on shards of glass
'Cause a warrior never asks for rest
Tell them this travel hasn't changed me, hasn't changed me at all
Cause I made me brand new with lessons I heard too
"You need to use forgiveness
Even with you"
Cause I made me brand new with lessons I heard too
"You need to use forgiveness
Even with you"
