What people are saying
É uma música em que os caras falam coisas boas para o mundo já há tanto tempo. É o que eu estou sentindo agora. É de uma importância muito grande para quem está ouvindo e para a gente também. É tudo verdade.
Vamos mostrar o que estamos fazendo. Tenho um disco produzido pelo meu filho [Will Gordon], que é o baixista, e uma música chamada 'God Knows'.
Eu sempre sofri fortes influências do meu pai [Dave Gordon] para ser um cantor de música americana, de canções estrangeiras. A minha carreira caminhou para essa direção, mas o samba é o meu compromisso agora.
