Portugal.The Man surge en el 2002 en la ciudad estadounidense de Wasilla, Alaska y con sede en Portland, Oregon. La banda está compuesta por antiguos miembros de la banda Anatomy of a Ghost. Musicalmente, su estilo tiene sus raíces de los sonidos indie, pero sus canciones también contienen elementos de soul, blues, progresivo, y la música popular. A veces, el grupo emplea cajas de ritmos y samples en la estructuración de sus canciones, mientras que en otras ocasiones, utiliza los sonidos más convencionales de la música rock.
¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!
Verse:
C If pain was a color to paint on you
E7 Your heart would be the color blue.
Am Be a gradient from there till your body met your hair
D Which would remain a silver hue
C You are the one they call Jesus Christ.
E7 Who didn't know no rock and roll.
Am Just a mission and a gun to paint rainbows in Vietnam
D And a heart that always told you

FC There's a madness in us all.
