Antes de Você

"Antes de Você" is a single by Titãs, released on May 7, 2009. It is composed and sung by Paulo Miklos.

Regarding the song, he stated the following: "Most of the times, we create defenses and recover. Many of us have to live with it for the rest of our lives. But in the case of this song, we definitely surrender to it. There's no more powerful influence than love!"

The song was used in the Rede Globo's telenovela Caras & Bocas (Faces & Mouths), as the character Vicente's theme.

Music video
A music video for the single was shot on June 3, 2009, under Santa Ifigênia Bridge in downtown São Paulo. The video features the band performing there, surrounded by dozens of people wearing plastic bags (with various kinds of faces painted on them, including a copy of the head displayed at Cabeça Dinossauro's cover) on their heads (a reference to the album title, translated as "plastic bags"). During the guitar solo by Bellotto, fans "accompanied" him by "playing" air guitar.
