THE CONCERT


A soft and slow piano melody is played as the curtains of the theater opens revealing a band with an orchestra of ten violinists surrounded by a very dark stage, and also very simple too, despite all the lightening the only scenery presents on it, it’s a Abie Lena Led sign above the bands head, the audience is in ecstasy waiting the first spell words by Abie in the opening number of the night, and as the piano melody goes slower than when it started, Abie comes walking from the back of the stage, smiling holding her microphone wearing a long black dress with her hair falling over her chest, sending kisses and saying hello to the audience, she starts to sing.

The unmistakable piano tune from ‘Broke up!’ is played and Abie starts to sing the song first verse putting all her emotional vocals out, making the audience quiet for the whole performance. With incredible notes, Abie transmits through her singing, the pain and the fury of this smash hit.

I looked at your brown eyes
And I realized that you’re leaving me
I looked at your tearful eyes
Yet you were so strong to hold your cry
Why has to be this way
My love wasn’t enough to bear the pain

Your voice was shaking but you handle it well
My heart was breaking slowly hearing every word
You were saying “We broke up!”

Don’t bother I’ll be alright
But please baby just, don’t you cry
I will live by my own
I’m not that young I have grown
It will hurt untill I forget
It will hurt untill I forget


Remember the days we lied
In the grass talking about a future life
Remember when you said to me
That you loved me and we would marry

Your voice was shaking but you handle it well
My heart was breaking slowly hearing every word
You were saying “We broke up!”

Don’t bother I’ll be alright
But please baby just, don’t you cry
I will live by my own
I’m not that young I have grown
It will hurt untill I forget
It will hurt untill I forget

And someday we'll stop to think
In all those sweet memories
The pain would be just a scar
And our love would be sleeping


Don’t bother I’ll be alright
But please baby just, don’t you cry
I will live by my own
I’m not that young I have grown
It will hurt untill I forget
It will hurt untill I forget
It will hurt untill I forget

After the performance, Abie stops looking to the crowd as they cheers to her, she keeps looking for some seconds when she finally speaks with them.

Abie: Hello everyone! I’m so happy to be here tonight with all of you. I wish you all to have a wonderful night! This next song is more upbeat so let’s dance! This is ‘Heartbreak’

This performance is marked by Abie’s ironic looks and her highest fury vocal notes. She walks through the stage from side to side, cheering with the crowd and turning the show more upbeat then the first performance. For this song there’re drum beats, electric guitar riffs, piano and violin melodies, making it sounds epic and strong.

Take my heart I don’t want it anymore
I lost the count of times it felt in love
Every time I have a breakdown
I spend a big time just to take me from the ground
No, I’m not giving it to anyone
I’m just throwing away in the garbage it deserves
So take my heart away from me
It makes me weak

Starting from here, I’ll never love again
Don’t care if you'll call me cold ‘cause now I'm unchain
Starting from here, I’ll never love again
Because I have enough of entanglements

I’m gonna break free
From this ultimate sin
yes my heart was torn away
So let it be thrown away

There's so much to lose when you're open
You give your love and you want to receive the same
Those three words were never so longed
From a person that has a heart of stone

Starting from here, I’ll never love again
Don’t care if you'll call me cold ‘cause now I'm unchain
Starting from here, I’ll never love again
Because I have enough of entanglements

I’m gonna break free
From this ultimate sin
yes my heart was torn away
So let it be thrown away

I’m gonna break free
From this ultimate sin
yes my heart was torn away
So let it be thrown away
thrown away, thrown away, thrown away

I’m gonna break free
From this ultimate sin
yes my heart was torn away
So let it be thrown away

Abie ends ‘Heartbreak’ with a killing long note she holds for 30 seconds, and right after it she starts to sing the next song. Her impersonation of an old hit from the 70’s, more specifically the James Brown’s ‘It’s a man, man, man world’ transformed into a fun and R&B song ‘It’s not the end’, this song is performed by Abie on her pedestal, she is lighted by a red light which turns the stage darker then moments before, Abie also grabs her pedestal to give more of a dramatic feel to this performance.

Lied in this bed I take my time
There is nothing else I could try
In this valentine day I’m gonna cry
And wash my heart from all the loneliness inside
Don’t worry baby, I’ll survive
Take your things ‘cause I’ve made up mind…

I’ll be alone in this valentine day
‘cause I had enough and you cannot stay
It’s better be alone than betrayed
Don’t bother baby it is not the end… for me

I’ll drink this wine till I get drunk
I’ll drop my hate as this bottle's up
Baby I won’t regret ‘cause you’re gone
I guess I have to love myself first and then love someone
Don’t worry baby, I’ll survive
Take your things ‘cause I’ve made up mind…

I’ll be alone in this valentine day
‘cause I had enough and you cannot stay
It’s better be alone than betrayed
Don’t bother baby it is not the end… for me

And if someone can bear
All the hate and still swear
That love is good
That we can be together
Then I'll tell them, things don't last forever…

I’ll be alone in this valentine day
‘cause I had enough and you cannot stay
It’s better be alone than betrayed
Don’t bother baby it is not the end
I said…
Don’t bother baby it is not the end
Don’t bother baby it is not the end… for me

Abie speaks with the crowd again.

Abie: Are you guys having fun? – The crowd cheers – Great! When I was officially working on my debut album, I had like a vision to write a song that would made people connect to it. This song should not be all sad; it had to be a powerful song, a song where people would take strength to fight for something better. This song, despite its departure melody, transmits this strength. I want to hear all of you singing it with me very loud! This is ‘Pimp’s Tears’

The cabaret inspired melodies of this songs, makes the crowd cheers and screams, this is probably the most fun song on Abie’s album, it has a funeral piano sequence plus a fast drum beat and some violin notes added with Abie suffered vocal notes. The stage gets totally green, and Abie’s vocal assistants dance a 50 dance routine behind their pedestals and so Abie does the same, this makes the performance looks more elaborated and fun to watch, the crowd kept cheering every line Abie sung of this song.

He comes with the twilight
With his white shirt and jeans tight
He entered the door, I was high

He asked: "what is wrong?"
I said It was so fun
I've accepted my role

He'll come back to his wife
I'll drown my sorrow with his lies
Waiting him till the next twilight

He and I are sinners
In this bed we made her tears

Don’t fill me baby, with your lies
You cannot hide
In every morning you will
Comeback to your … wife

I'd had loved you more
Yet you don't deserve
I know, so well, your lust

But in me you could trust
You may leave me to stay with her
But I told you, I accepted my role

Don’t fill me baby with your lies
You cannot hide
In every morning you will
Comeback to your...

Don’t fill me baby with your lies
You cannot hide
In every morning you will
Comeback to your … life

You’ll
Comeback
to…
You’ll
Comeback
to…

Don’t fill me baby with your lies
You cannot hide
In every morning you will
Comeback to your...

Don’t fill me baby with your lies
You cannot hide
In every morning you will
Comeback to your … life

Now the band takes a brief break, the stage gets completely dark, till it is lighted up again, revealing Abie sited on a chair holding an acoustic guitar, she is ready to perform a cover, but before she reveals it, she talks with crowd once more.

Abie: I have a few artists that inspired me on life. Several of them are from the 60s and 70s. But I also admire nowadays artist too. This song belongs to, in my opinion, one of the best R&B and soul singers of this new era. She is not my sister but we share the same surname. This is ‘Who I am, who I am not, who I wanna be’ by Alicia Lena.

This cover is pretty different form the original version of Alicia. Rather than piano and drums, this performance has only acoustic guitars, three specifically, one played by Abie and other two played by Abie’s band mates. Abie sings this song adding her own singing style, but preserving the original tune of Alicia’s original version. The crowd went crazy when Abie said Alicia name. Abie sings this song sited down in her chair the entire performance.

I’m Sitting All Alone In An Empty Hotel Room
Singing Along To That Familiar Tune
Looking At Myself, Just Trying To Figure Who I’ve Become
Trying To Figure Which Part Of Me Has Won

So I’ll Ask Myself, Am I The Best Possible Version Of Me
Do I Take The Time To Thank The People Who Made Me Who I Am Today
Do I Thank The People That Never Stood In My Way
Do I Thank Them All, One By One
Will I Pay My Respects Once They’ve Gone

And So Instead, I’m Still Figuring Out
Which Part Of Me I Can Live Without
So I’ll Take Away The Bad And Work Hard On The Good
I’ll Take It All Away If I’m Misunderstood
And This Is …

This Is Who I Am, Who I’m Not, Who I Wanna Be
So If The Person Looking Back At Me, Is The Person I Don’t Want To Be
I’ll Make A Change, Make Things Better, Not For You, But For Me
So This Is Who I Am, Who I’m Not, Who I Wanna Be

I’m Cold And Lonely, Bruised And Shaken
This Is The Path I’m Walking Down
This Is The Move I’m Making
To Be … Me

And I’ll Keep Everything Wrapped Up Inside
But The Person I’ve Become, Shouldn’t Need To Hide
My Past Is My Past And It’s Refined To History
It Will Remain Hidden, Kinda Like A Mystery

This Is Who I Am, Who I’m Not, Who I Wanna Be
So If The Person Looking Back At Me, Is The Person I Don’t Want To
I’ll Make A Change, Make Things Better, Not For You, But For Me
So This Is Who I Am, Who I’m Not, Who I Wanna Be

I’m Cold And Lonely, Bruised And Shaken
This Is The Path I’m Walking Down
This Is The Move I’m Making
To Be … Me

This Is Who I Am, Who I’m Not, Who I Wanna Be
So If The Person Looking Back At Me, Is The Person I Don’t Want To
I’ll Make A Change, Make Things Better, Not For You, But For Me
So This Is Who I Am, Who I’m Not, Who I Wanna Be

This Is Who I Am, Who I’m Not, Who I Wanna Be
So If The Person Looking Back At Me, Is The Person I Don’t Want To
I’ll Make A Change, Make Things Better, Not For You, But For Me
So This Is Who I Am, Who I’m Not, Who I Wanna Be

Abie stands up, for another acoustic guitar based ballad, the lights go dim, and she puts her hands on her chest like she was about feel bad about singing this song, Her voice is thin and soft in this performance, plenty of mobiles are raised up in the crowd to record Abie performs one of the most intimate song of her album.

If you walked out that door
Don’t come back anymore
I’m not your substitute lover
Don’t come back anymore

The clothes you left behind
I’m sending you tonight
There’s nothing I want more
Don’t comeback anymore

Nothing you could try
You waste all the lines
Our love story is a lie
There’s no more space to write

And when you’re not near me
I don't care you’ll miss me
'Cause now we reach the end
Don't you say you repent

Let the time flies
Time can untangle the ties
There’s nothing I want more
Don’t comeback anymore

I closed my heart away
To repair all the damages
So thanks for the love
But please…
Don’t comeback anymore!

Abie is loudly applauded, and after this beautiful cheering moment, she talks once more with the crowd.

Abie: Thank you! That one is really hard for me to sing live, but it’s worth all the way, makes me feel stronger. Ok, now I have another sad one for you. This is from a night I had a fight with my ex-boyfriend, we started to live at the same house, but you never know, you think you know the person you’re living with, but you really don’t know, so this day I just got so angry that I broke all the pictures we had on the walls and I burned all the letters he once wrote to me, and I wrote this ‘Leaving Home’.

Another piano based ballad, but with a violin orchestra sound, which is responsible to increase the song to a dramatic soul, gospel tune. Abie sings this song calmly like she is accepting the fact that she had to leave to be happy. The stage got bright while she sings this song, so the crowd can Cleary see the violin orchestra playing and accompanying Abie on her amazing but tired Vocal notes.

Broken portraits on the wall
There is not much to crow
Left the silence kills this life
Hurts your heart twice

No this time we cannot handle
This time we cannot fight
This time we crossed the line

So I think its better
For us to be apart, so distance
I see clear now
We were living a life that almost killed me
Won’t you please say something?
‘Cause I’m gonna say goodbye
I’m leaving home…

Every night we had a fight
Was I wrong? Or were you right?
You never gave me chance to explain
You always choose to go away
Guess was easier that way

No this time we cannot handle
This time we cannot fight
This time we crossed the line

So I think its better
For us to be apart, so distance
I see clear now
We were living a life that almost killed me
Won’t you please say something?
‘Cause I’m gonna say goodbye
I’m leaving home…
I’m leaving home…

I just hope you know that
I have loved you so bad
But guess it’s not meant to be
I will try being different
I will try not mistake
After all I forgive you

No this time we cannot handle
This time we cannot fight
This time we crossed the line

So I think its better
For us to be apart, so distance
I see clear now
We were living a life that almost killed me
Won’t you please say something?
‘Cause I’m gonna say goodbye
I’m leaving home…
I’m leaving home…
I’m leaving home…

Now the band comes fully back again, to perform two hits from Abie’s album. The first one is the amazing power ballad ‘Say Goodbye’. Piano, drums, violin and electric guitar makes the sound of this song. Abie sings it with all her confidence and strength, despite she feels a bit tired due to her high note singing, she doesn’t miss any note of this song making this probably a highlight performance of the night. The stage is very bright and clean, the crowd can see Abie, her backing vocals all her band and her orchestra at the same time, in the same vibe, putting effort to this song, the crowd goes wild on this.

I could have imagined hundred ways to say this
But none of them would describe what is
To be away from your love
The solitude it's even the worse
Hurts for me that you move on
Hurts for me that we have no hopes
But as I'm looking at you right now
I see in your eyes somehow
There's a spark…

I want to hear from you
That all we had disappeared
I'm tired of all the crying
Everytime the clock ticks midnight
Please baby, don’t lie
I want to hear from you this time
That you don’t want me anymore
Go baby, look at me and say goodbye

Since our last meet I lost a piece of my heart
I only blame you for letting me apart
I just wonder if you can remember
We were young and we surrender
I cannot understand why it’s so hard
To say the truth when you could start
Don’t say you hate me
I won’t take it

I want to hear from you
That all we had disappeared
I'm tired of all the crying
Everytime the clock ticks midnight
Please baby, don’t lie
I want to hear from you this time
That you don’t want me anymore
Go baby, look at me and say goodbye

If we change the places
If I got engaged
Would you be asking me to comeback
No it’s not a shame
You belong to this fate
It’s alone at night that you can’t deny!

I want to hear from you
That all we had disappeared
I'm tired of all the crying
Everytime the clock ticks midnight
Please baby, don’t lie
I want to hear from you this time
That you don’t want me anymore
Go baby, look at me and say goodbye

I want to hear from you
That all we had disappeared
I'm tired of all the crying
Everytime the clock ticks midnight
Please baby, don’t lie
I want to hear from you this time
That you don’t want me anymore
Go baby, look at me and say goodbye

The supposed last song of the concert is Abie’s first smash hit ‘Fake Plastic Life’, as the band plays the first strophe of this song, the crowd recognizes it immediately, helping Abie to sing it, especially in the choruses of the song, where Abie raises her microphone so she can listen the crowd louder. This is another soulful song; it is an up-tempo version of ‘Ain’t no mountain high enough’ and old 70 hit. This song is responsible for launching Abie’s careers as one of the most successful breakout artists of 2011.

Life has passed by my eyes
Like a bullet cross the sky
And Now I know I lost the chance of my life
When time is not a friend
And we tried to pretend
I locked in my old box all of our remembrances
Well, you seem very well
You got yourself a fairy tale
Living a good life and I'm at this hell
Do you still remember what we were?
The times we spent together
In few days before my heart tore

Our love was a summer’s heat
And as heat it cools quickly
You have a new life, I have a disguise
Fake, like a plastic Life

I just want you know there is no regrets
Since you're gone I started all psychic therapies
But it’s fine after all Guess I was not made to love
So many times I spend looking at the clock
Even if I waited for you, probably we would get through
I always took the first steps when you should had
I have said so many prayers, for you to change your head
But all I got back was a kick in my ass

Our love was a summer’s heat
And as heat it cools quickly
You have a new life, I have a disguise
Fake, like a plastic Life

Now I live alone
Faking a smile on my own
Just to not show I'm hollow

Our love was a summer’s heat
And as heat it cools quickly
You have a new life, I have a disguise
Fake, like a plastic Life

I heard you think I’m all right
Well that’s what I show outside
Didn’t you think, I have pride?
But I live alone
Faking a smile on my own
Just to not show I'm hollow

Our love was a summer’s heat
And as heat it cools quickly
You have a new life, I have a disguise
Fake, like a plastic Life

Our love was a summer’s heat
And as heat it cools quickly
You have a new life, I have a disguise
Fake, like a plastic Life

While her band keeps playing the instrumentals of her last song performed, Abie speaks quickly with the crowd and leaves the stage.

Abie: Thank you so much New York! I hope to see you all soon! Bye. ‘Winks’

The camera shows Abie at the backstage of the concert, where she stops to drink some water, to put more makeup, to focus again, and comeback for the encore of the concert.

Minutes of waiting, the dark stage is lighted up, and Abie is smiling, the crowd cheers, and she starts to sing, a very familiar song, she once performed back at the ‘Total Annihilation Festival 3’. ‘That Cold Night’ is sung by Abie, with that sad feeling on her vocals, and that dramatic slowdown drum and guitar sequence. The crowd sings loud this song too, helping Abie to hold the notes and completely singing for her in the chorus of the song. The stage is dark, with Abie being the only lighted up, adding some drama to the performance.

In that cold night
You take my hands
In that cold night
You said you’d stay
In that cold night
You take me home
We came in to get warm
You kissed my lips and loved…
…me all night long

It was a dream
And like a dream I wake up in the night
Just like a dream
A perfect dream, it ended in the highlight
Now that’s just me singing about you
‘cause I lost you, in that cold night

In that cold night
We broke the glass
In that cold night
We left a mess
In that damn night
I was upset
I told I hated you
You said I hurt you
I was so cruel

It was not a dream
as much as I wish to suddenly awake up
Just like a dream
A bad dream, that ends before the ending
Now that’s just me singing about you
‘cause I lost you, in that cold night

If it was a dream
And like a dream I would have made my way
If it was a dream
A perfect dream, I would say you to stay
‘cause we’re meant to, and I want to
Live a life beside you, but it’s late and
like a dream I wake, in that cold night…
like a dream I wake, in that cold night…
like a dream I wake, in that cold night…
like a dream I wake, in that cold night…

Abie talks for the last time with the crowd.

Abie: I really want to thank you guys so much! For everything. For making this life comes true, for supporting me, and liking my music! This means so much to me. I want to thank MTV for shooting this special and Studio 60 for making everything right and legal! I’m so happy for this night and I hope to see you all very very soon! This is the last song of the night, and it’s homage to my home country Brazil! It’s ‘I just want you to know’ Thank you guys!

The closing performance of the night, it’s soft and very Brazilian bossa nova sound. This song is dedicated to Abie’s home country, lyrics and melodies all of them reminds Brazil in several ways, the audience can perceive the pleasure on Abie’s voice when she sings this song. It’s a perfect choice to end the concert, and as Abie ends the performance, lots of paper falls down at the stage, and Abie leaves it, sending kisses and goodbyes to the crowd.

I just want you to know
I’m thinking of you
This time it's for truth
I just hope you can hear
This song I sing for you
Funky like blues
You must know that I love you

I woke up this night wondering
Are you thinking of me?
Don’t say no, don’t lie to me
I know you’ve been all alone
But this time you cannot deny
We still have time
Sometimes love doesn't die

I just want you to know
I’m thinking of you
This time it's for truth
I just hope you can hear
This song I sing for you
Funky like blues
You must know that I love you

I just want to feel your lips
Taste them as you kiss me
All I want your love can give
Embrace me in your arms
Make me feel warmed
You're the one I love

I just want you to know
I’m thinking of you
This time it's for truth
I just hope you can hear
This song I sing for you
Funky like blues
You must know that I love you

Abie: Thank you so much babies! This means a lot to me, and I have to say that it's not easy to put yourself on a camera and make a whole concert like I did, it's frightening.. I was totally scared... but as you're saying I think it went good in the end ;)
