📸 • "Two days 'til our encounter in Toronto for my first big show! Hope you're ready for some surprises... including new songs!"

— HERCULES via Instagram sobre seu show único no Canadá neste fim de semana.

🥝 • O canal RDT Hercules ganhou acesso exclusivo para transmitir o show único do cantor HERCULES em Toronto, no Canadá!

O artista iniciou a livestream falando com o público de casa antes de subir ao palco.

🥝 • HERCULES inicia seu show de data única no Canadá com "Everything Now", seu primeiro single da carreira.

"Oh, the loneliest boy in town
He just wants some freedom
To go wherever he'd like to
To do whatever he'd like to
Stuck between his parents' rules
And his inner discrepancies
He writes to himself every evening
"Why do I keep waiting for nothing?""

🥝 • HERCULES se rende à letra da performance de "Everything Now":

"We sabotage our everyday feelings
In hopes that future treats us well
We kill our very own free will
In hopes that it comes back soon
We put on way too much effort
To get a little piece of their heart
'Cause we heard once, "a little love
Is better than no love at all""

🥝 • O cantor HERCULES cumprimenta o público de Toronto e anuncia a primeira das faixas inéditas para o show, que agora conta com a hashtag #LiveInCanada: "The Change".

"I'm done of hating the way I live
I'm done of hating the things I do
I'm done of loving what hurts me
I'm done of loving what leads me to you
I know I'm way better than this
I know I can push it all away in two steps
I know I have power enough for this
But I know you're used to your positions"

🥝 • Apreciando a energia do público lotado da arena de Toronto, HERCULES anuncia mais uma de suas novas músicas: "Lips", dedicada a amores superficiais de uma pista de dança.

"I feel your breath in the skin of my neck
Don't know what the DJ's saying, I don't care
We're just living on the high road of a kiss
They say, "turn the world into a dance floor
Push your own limits, go hard or go home"
But they forgot to warn us about the free fall"

🥝 • HERCULES reaparece no palco com outra camiseta para um mini-set acústico com direito a mais uma faixa inédita: "The Final Match", descrita como uma ode aos relacionamentos de Tinder.

"Swipe your fingers through these faces
Until the final match makes you leave
Try to get to know people with fake traits
Until someone is the one you sleep with

Soften up your smile just to please them
Don't show your teeth or your weaknesses
Put your past to rest under the grave
If you really want someone to stay"

🥝 • HERCULES continua a apresentação de "The Final Match" e diz entre os versos que é uma de suas músicas favoritas:

"Talk about the music you like to listen
But don't show your most obscure sounds
Talk about the love you have for cinema
But don't talk too much about faded starsIt's just someone for the evening
It's never someone for the morning
It's just someone with whom spend time
It's just someone who can leave any time"

🥝 • HERCULES inicia um set mais elaborado na sua performance única, dessa vez, com "Postcard", sua colaboração com Kiiara Parx indicada ao Grammy:

"I lost friends to the waves
That are only seen in phone screens
I lost enemies to the opinions
That I only saw in a Twitter chain
I don't wanna lose anyone else
I want my eyes to see something else
Give something I won't regret
Give me a life that makes me happy"

🥝 • HERCULES se inspira pela energia social de "Postcard" no palco do #LiveInCanada!

"When we wake up from this fever
The ashes will be our best friends
The ruins will be our new home
Postcards will be our only memories
We're used to wanting everything now
But time will reveal its flaws and regrets
My hands will hold on to a postcard
From a time that will never come back"

🥝 • Com direito a um solo de gaita, HERCULES apresenta mais uma faixa inédita: "Good for You", inspirada por seu atual relacionamento - e seus medos de não ser bom o suficiente no amor.

"I remember how you said we fit together
How you thought we'd last for a long time
But I remember my fears taking over
Making me think you'll leave before I die

Fragile men don't have a place
In this cold hearted society
I thought love was never for me
Tell me, how can I change the perspective?"

🥝 • HERCULES aparece no palco do #LiveInCanada para o set final do show! Ele interage com a plateia, retira o blazer antes mesmo de cantar novamente e anuncia mais uma faixa inédita: "Imposter Syndrome", sobre seus problemas de autoestima na adolescência.

"Little boy growing up in Toronto
Never knowing what to do at home
But never knowing where to go
'Cause he wasn't really born there

Young kid suffering in silence
High school drama is easy for him
As his problems got much worse
Than the boys and girls he loved"

🥝 • HERCULES desacelera o ritmo do show para apresentar "Nothing is Pink", terceiro single de sua carreira e que também foi #2 na Top 100 Songs em sua fase original, uma faixa sobre pensamentos depressivos:

"When the morning rises to me
I try to focus my mind on works
Works that could make me happy
But nothing in this world is pink
And nothing in my world fits
Within the expectations of your world

I thought pink was a good color
Until I saw it in rose-colored glasses
And I saw the truth behind the lies
I thought pink was my color
Until the world painted me blue
And now there's nothing left to do"

🥝 • HERCULES surpreende e mistura os versos de "Nothing is Pink" com "Believer", seu single mais recente e o quarto top 5 seguido de sua carreira:

"Show me your favorite movie
And I'll buy every souvenir from it
You'll be amazed by my ability
To love what you love so deeply

I can be your favorite believer
Put anything you praise in my brain
And I'll worship it just like you
And I'll go blind for it just like you"

🥝 • HERCULES anuncia que a última canção de seu show #LiveInCanada é nada mais do que uma continuação de seu primeiro single, "Everything Now", intitulada "Everything Now II", para fechar o ciclo narrativo da noite.

"If there's something we all want
Is everything, and we want it now
If there's anything we ever ask for
Is for everything, and we demand it now

We want to hear every song in the world
We want to watch every movie in history
We want to go to every concert in the world
We want to read every book ever written"

🥝 • O show de HERCULES, #LiveInCanada, se encerra com o cantor ensinando os versos finais de "Everything Now II" ao público:

"We want to believe bigger things are coming
But what if these big things are here already?
We want to think of the bigger picture
But what if the memories are still happening?

We always think the world is in our hands
But what if our hands can't handle the world?
I wonder about who controls our fates
'Cause, by this point, I don't think it's us"

Em seguida, ele faz seus agradecimentos finais e a transmissão se encerra no RDT Hercules.
