Eco turns silence into a powerful cry for justice. In a torrent of vivid images, Portuguese singer-songwriter Carolina Deslandes points our gaze at burning homes in Palestine, the struggle for freedom in Colombia, the blood on city streets and the deafness of those in power. She contrasts these global crises with the small worries that often fill our daily conversations, revealing how easily we can miss the echo of other people’s pain. The title itself suggests that every whispered sorrow reverberates, growing louder when we choose to listen.
Carolina’s message is clear: writing the word empathy online means nothing unless we show up, feel the wound that “insists on hurting” and act. She kicks down doors “ao pontapé,” calls out racism and genocide, and even questions a God who granted us earth yet tolerates war. Amid the rage she pauses to hug her children, grateful yet haunted by those who have nothing. Eco is both lament and rallying anthem, inviting us to transform passive sympathy into real, compassionate presence.
