Ira!
Ira! (Portuguese for Anger or Rage) is a Brazilian rock band that was founded in São Paulo in the early 1980s. They were strongly influenced by the Mod sound of The Who, the hard rock of Led Zeppelin and the punk rock of The Clash.
History
Early Years
Led by singer Nasi and guitarist Edgard Scandurra, with Ricardo Gaspa on bass and André Jung on drums, Ira! was at the height of their success in the mid-to-late 1980s. Songs like "Núcleo Base", "Flores em Você" and "Envelheço na Cidade" were huge hits when first released and still enjoy considerable airplay in radio stations throughout Brazil. The band had a decline in productivity and popularity during the 1990s, but regained popularity after playing before an audience of over 250,000 at the third edition of the Rock in Rio festival in 2001 and doing an acoustic special for MTV Brasil in 2004.
2007: Internal Conflicts and Split
In September 2007, just before the band were due to have a break, Nasi departed from the band after a conflict with Airton Valadão Rodolfo, who was the band manager and also Nasi's brother.

One Fine Wire
by: Colbie CaillatI try so many times but it's not taking me
And it seems so long ago that I used to believe
And I'm so lost inside of my head and crazy
But I can't get out of it, I'm just stumbling
And I'm juggling all the thoughts in my head
I'm juggling and my fears on fire
But I'm listening as it evolved in my head
I'm balancing on one fine wire
Every time my balance was fine
And I was just walking on one fine wire
Every time my balance was fine
And I was just walking on one fine wire
But it's frayed at both the ends and I'm slow unraveling
Life plays such silly games inside of me
And I've felt some distant cries, following
And they're entwined between the night and sun beams
I wish I were free from this pain in me
And I'm juggling all the thoughts in my head
I'm juggling and my fears on fire but
I'm listening as it evolved in my head
I'm balancing on one fine wire
Every time my balance was fine
And I was just walking on one fine wire
Every time my balance was fine
And I was just walking on one fine wire
And it's frayed at both the ends and I'm slow unraveling
And I'm, every time my balance was fine
And I was just walking on one fine wire
Every time my balance was fine
And I was just walking on one fine wire
And I'm juggling all the thoughts in my head
(And I'm, every time my balance was fine
And I was just walking on one fine wire)
I'm juggling and my fears on fire but
I'm listening as it evolved in my head
(Every time my balance was fine
And I was just walking on one fine wire)
I'm balancing on one fine wire
