But the inspiration has nothing to do with pop music, and it came from three very different places!<\/p>\n<p>First the bells of a cathedral I heard ringing in Antwerp; second, a choir I was lucky enough to hear singing in Goa, in the church of Loutolim; and finally, a book I was reading at the time, Dino Buzzati\u2019s \u201cThe Tartar Steppe\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The original melody was a combination of mystery, unease, restlessness, born out of the combination of these three experiences\u2026.<\/p>\n<p>It was our co-producer on the album, Federico Albanese, who also plays on the track, that suggested we invited Casper Clausen of Efterklang to sing it and write the lyrics. I already knew Casper\u2019s work and admired it very much, so I was happy to have the opportunity to invite him to sing. It turns out Casper is now living in Lisbon! That\u2019s why \u201cThe Boy Inside\u201d is the only song on the album with lyrics in English.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_video link=&#8221;https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=dVkq_uVDymM&amp;feature=youtu.be &#8221; title=&#8221;The Boy Inside &#8220;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]After \u201cA Bailarina\u201d and \u201cO M\u00e9todo\u201d, \u201cThe Boy Inside\u201d is the third single from Rodrigo\u2019s new album and BMG International debut \u201cO M\u00e9todo\u201d out February 21, featuring the voice of special guest star Casper Clausen from the Danish band Efterklang and instrumentation from co-producer Federico Albanese.
