Flutua (feat. Liniker)

Johnny Hooker's song 'Flutua,' featuring Liniker, is a powerful anthem of love and defiance. The lyrics delve into the struggles and triumphs of a same-sex relationship, challenging societal norms and expectations. The song opens with a poignant question: 'O que vão dizer de nós?' (What will they say about us?), highlighting the fear of judgment from family, society, and even religious institutions. This sets the stage for a narrative that is both personal and universal, resonating with anyone who has faced prejudice for their love.

The chorus, 'E flutua, flutua, ninguém vai poder, querer nos dizer como amar' (And float, float, no one will be able to tell us how to love), serves as a liberating mantra. It emphasizes the freedom and fluidity of love, rejecting any external attempts to define or constrain it. The repetition of 'como amar' (how to love) reinforces the idea that love is a personal, intrinsic experience that cannot be dictated by societal norms. This defiance is not just a rebellion but a celebration of love in its purest form.

The imagery in the song is vivid and intimate, painting a picture of two people deeply connected. Lines like 'Teu corpo teso, duro, são, e o teu cheiro que ainda ficou na minha mão' (Your tense, hard, healthy body, and your scent that still lingers on my hand) evoke a sense of closeness and physicality. The song also looks forward to a hopeful future where love can 'florescer' (bloom) without fear. This vision of a 'novo tempo' (new time) is a call to action for a more accepting and loving world. 'Flutua' is not just a song; it's a declaration of love's resilience and an invitation to dance to the rhythm of one's own heart.
