Fado music relies heavily on saudade —a deep emotional state of nostalgic longing for something or someone that is lost. Fabian is not in love with the present Doro; he is obsessed with a past version of her that he can completely control. 3. Professional vs. Personal Control

I set the record down and watched the smoke of steam from my coffee rise and vanish.
