NOTURNALL Cover TEARS FOR FEARS In New Video
June 2, 2014, 10 years ago
Brazilian band Noturnall - featuring former Angra drummer Aquiles Priester, and ex-Shaman vocalist Thiago Bianchi - have launched a video of their take on the Tears For Fears tune, "Woman In Chains", featuring Thiago's mother Maria Odette.
Originally recorded by Tears For Fears in 1989, this remake of the song and video fulfills a promise made by vocalist Thiago Bianchi 13 years ago when he received the news from doctors that he had only six months to live, due to a diagnosis of cancer in the mediastinum on terminal state.
"When I was diagnosed with terminal cancer, and doctors told me I would live only six months, I told my mother I would go through that phase and, 13 years later, would do two things extremely relevant devoted to the subject. First would be the production of a show where all the proceeds would revert to an institution to support children with cancer, which I already realized through the recording of Noturnall's first DVD at Carioca Club in Sao Paulo. It was a complete success, and we raised tons of food, diapers and toys for Casas HOPE. The second promise I made now becomes public, which was the recording of this 'Woman In Chains' version along with my mother, Maria Odette, in honor of all mothers in the world," said the singer, now fully healed and living his best moments as a musician.
