Arlindo Cruz (b. September 14, 1958, birth name Arlindo Domingos da Cruz Filho) is a Brazilian musician, composer and singer, working in the genre of samba and pagode. Arlindo took part in the most important formation of Grupo Fundo de Quintal, and is considered one of the most important figures of the pagode movement.
At the age of seven, Arlindo was given his first musical instrument, the cavaquinho, by his father (Arlindão), a friend and partner of Candeia with whom he had founded the Mensageiros do Samba group. From 7 to 12 years, Arlindo already played by ear, learning chord voicings from his brother Acyr Marques guitar playing. At 12, he went on to study classical guitar for 2 years on Flor do Méier institution. About that time he started working professionally as a musician, on rodas de samba with various artists, especially Candeia who he considers to be his musical godfather. With Candeia he recorded a simple compact and an LP called `Roda de Samba', playing cavaquinho.
With Jorge Aragão exiting Grupo Fundo de Quintal, Arlindo was invited to join the group, invitation which he accepted happily, dedicating himself during 12 years of success. Arlindo played the banjo cavaquinho on the group and was one of the lead voices and songwriters, along with singer/songwriter Sombrinha, who played cavaquinho and guitar.

Some of life's greatest journeys begin at the end
[first lines]::Cruz: [reading poetry] I want to get shot and die a noble death. / I want to get shot saving someone's life. / I want to get shot because getting shot hurts. / I want to get shot so that I can rest. / My body can't affort my lifestyle anymore. / I want to get shot because it's quick - and painful. / I've had a good life. Few regrets. / I just want a new scar to remind me of how lucky I am. / I know I'm going go die. But death has to find me. / And until death finds me, it's my life. / What am I gonna do today? I don't know. / As long as I don't get shot.
Cruz: And the last month months, you've - you've been - um...::Cruz-Sr.: Preparing to die? You cannot prepare for death any more than you can prepare for the arrival of a very bad fart.
[last lines]::[last lines before credits]::Roberto: [reading poetry] The place where I'm from. / Do you care? / I did not make it. / I did not pick it. / I'm not a project or system that needs fixing. / People who ask - they don't know my future. / I will tell them / where I'm from / when I get there.
[last lines]::[voice over credits]::Voice: If what you do and how you live does not feed the fire in your heart and blossom in poems or dances or art or painting or film, then you got to leave and quit and do not turn back, you got to move away from that which would mold your gift, break it, disrespect it, or kill it. You've got to guard it and nurture it and take your full-flung honorable heart and plunge it into the fire, into the stars, into the trees on a windy day, into the hearts of others' grieving sorrow, and you got to love and restore them, restore the dream by writing of its again-discovered wild beauty. I tell you, if it does not feed the fire of your creativity, then you have got to leave!

Al Franken: Ted Cruz Is 'Completely Wrong' On Net Neutrality
I'm leavin' today
Livin' it, leavin' it to change
Slowly driftin' into a peaceful breeze
Tongue tied and twisted, are all my memories
Celebratin' a fantasy comes true
Packin' all my bags
Finally on the move
I'm leavin' today
I'm livin' it, oh I'm leavin' it to change
As I'm drivin', I'm captured by the view, ho
So much beauty, the road becomes my muse
The heat is risin', and my hand surfs through the wind
Cool, calm, collective as a child that lies within
See I'm leavin' today
I'm livin' it, oh I'm leavin' it to change
Oh yeah
See I'm leavin' today
Oh yes, I'm livin' it, oh I'm leavin' it to change
But somehow I'll miss it
I think, I'll really miss it, one day
Yea, yea, woh
Turn on the radio
And I'm feelin' like I've never felt before
Turn down the memories of yesteryears and broken dreams
I'm free, finally free
Slowly driftin' into the peaceful breeze
Ah haa
Ooh yeah
I'm leavin' today, yeah
Oh yes, I'm livin' it, leavin' it to change
(Oh yeah)
(To change yeah, yeah, yeah)
Oh no, see I'm leavin' today
(Oh yes)
I'm livin' it
(Livin' it)
Leavin' it to change
(Leavin' it to change)
(Woh, woh, woh)
I'm leavin' today
(Ohh livin' it, I'm leavin' it to change)
Livin' it, leavin' it to change
(To change, yeah)
(Woh, woh, woh)
(Ohh yeah)
Livin' it, leavin' it
Said I'm livin' it, I'm leavin' it
Livin' it, leavin' it to change
(Woh, woh)
I'm leavin' it to change
But somehow I'll miss it
I think, I'll really miss it, one day
I'm leaving today
Living it, leaving it to change
Slowly drifting into a peaceful breeze
Tongue tied, twisted are all my memories
Celebrating a fantasy come true
Packing all my bags finally on the move
I'm leaving today
I'm living it, leaving it to change
As I'm driving I'm captured by the view
Of so much beauty, the road becomes my muse
The heat is rising and my head soars through the wind
Cool, calm, collective is a child that lost a thing
I'm leaving today
I'm living it, I'm leaving it to change
I'm leaving today
I'm living it, I'm leaving it to change
But somehow I'm missing
I think I really miss it
Don't walk away
And I'm feeling like I've never felt before
Turn down the memories of yesteryears and broken dreams
I'm free, finally free
Slowly drifting into a peaceful breeze
I'm leaving today
I'm living it, leaving it to change
See I'm leaving today
I'm living it, I'm leaving it to change
I'm leaving today (I'm leaving it to change)
Living it, I'm leaving it to change
Living it, leaving it
Said I'm living it, leaving it
Living it, leaving it to change

But somehow I miss it
I think I really miss it

Cruisin' with my crew
Yeah, uh...
Now you can hear it in the breeze
When I'm leaving overseas, and
It's 93 degrees, speaking brown-people-eese
But I gotta ease up out of Honolulu for a few
To keep it popping like Honozulu shooting the scene
But never greasy with the people
On the island I see
I see the stars falling into the sea
Pull her closer to you, Bro,
She told me never let her go
Until the moment
Reach the ceiling
That's the feeling I need
Yo, breathing in...
And they came to get away
But we came to get it in
When they calling this a day
That's when the day for us begins
The people turning up they stereo
Then playing me again
Once again, breathing in...
And they came to get away
But we came to get it in
When they calling this a day
That's when the day for us begins
The people turning up they stereo
Then playing me again
Once again
Drink in my cup
Select it with my tunes, I'm
Cruisin' with my
Cruisin' with my
Cruisin' with my crew
Oh, you say you got a friend?

Cruisin' with my
Cruisin' with my
Cruisin' with my crew
Yeah, uh...
And when I'm cruising with my crew
I'm trying to get to meets
We riding on the two
I'm bumping Saba beats
Born in killer California bro
Son of a beach, and arm's reach
From the motherland over the sea
I'm calling Aaron and Jake
What's up to Carol and Kate
Some people call it the eight
But it's a sovereign state
I heard that Ward is the place
They try to cancel our performance
But the Scholars keep it pouring
Believe
Whoa, I'm breathing in...
And they came to get away
But we came to get it in
When they calling this a day
That's when the day for us begins
The people turning up they stereo
Then playing me again
Once again, breathing in...
And they came to get away
But we came to get it in
When they calling this a day
That's when the day for us begins
The people turning up they stereo
Then playing me again
Once again
