''V'' is the fifth studio album by the Brazilian rock band Legião Urbana. It was released in December 15, 1991. ==History== The album reflects two situations: the economic crisis Brazil suffered during Fernando Collor de Mello's government and Renato Russo's drug dependence. In 1991, Russo discovered he had AIDS, just like Cazuza. Russo wrote a song in his honor named "Feedback Song for a Dying Friend", present in Legião's previous album. However, unlike Cazuza, Russo never publicly revealed his disease. ''V''s songs are characterized by a dark, medieval influence: the first track, "Love Song", is an adaptation of a love poem written in Galician-Portuguese by Nuno Fernandes Torneol in the 13th century. The eerie setting continues in "Metal Contra as Nuvens", the longest song of the band, and "A Ordem dos Templários", a serene instrumental that uses samples of Guillaume de Machaut's "Douce Dame Jolie". "A Montanha Mágica" speaks about drug dependence. "O Teatro dos Vampiros" references the economic crisis of Brazil at the time and its intro was adapted from Pachelbel's Canon. However, the last tracks of the album are slightly happier, such as "Sereníssima", "L'Âge d'Or", "O Mundo Anda Tão Complicado" and "Vento no Litoral", that was later re-recorded by Cássia Eller. The last track of the album, "Come Share My Life", is an instrumental cover of an American folk song. ''V'' sold a little less than the previous album ''As Quatro Estações'': only 700,000 copies. The tour that promoted the album was the shortest of the band, lasting only from July to September 1992, due to Russo's alcoholic crisis. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「V (Legião Urbana album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
