Felipe Comments About Next Piece And ABNW Deluxe Edition

During a chat with John DeLucas - one of the managers of DotLyrics forum, Felipe commented his next piece [Wish You Were Here] to be released in early September and what readers should waiting in the deluxe edition of "A Brave New World", to be released in November.

About WYWH:

"I guess I always new that I'd release "WYWH" as the last piece from "ABNW". This lyric can puncuate so effectively the end of the cycle I've taken the readers when I invited them to join me in this journey to the brave new world. (...) The piece talks about endings, transistions. How scared we are when we have to move on, when we have to face the new. To me, I don't why, but I always see it as the song of death. The last inevitable step into the unknown that all of us will do alone."

About the Deluxe edition:

"I'm so excited with this idea of deluxe edition. I confess that I'm not a big fan of adding stuff after I finish a project. I think once I finished something it'd just be wrong to add more thing and changing the original content. However, after I finish ABNW and I started to promoted, I could live this experience by a different perspective. This whole experience is all about cycles and I think I just reached a new one... the seventh circle. Now it's the perspective of someone who lived during almost two years in the new world, ' What have I learned from it? How this experience shaped me and into what did it shape me?' This 'appendice' brings answers to these questions... "
