"O Trem das 7" by Raul Seixas
Raul Seixas is a foundational figure in Brazilian rock, blending his early influences from Elvis Presley with baião, Dylanesque storytelling, and psychedelia. He died too soon, but in this episode, we're celebrating 80 years of his birthday on June 28th, 1945. "O Trem das 7" is a metaphorical song about transformation, judgment, and a "spiritual awakening", evoking his readings of esoteric philosopher Alistair Crowley.
The song is among the several great hits from his 1974 album "Gita", which sold over 600 thousand copies. Over the years Raul also broke cultural norms and became a cult-followed, Forrest Gump-like figure in Brazilian pop culture.
