This is the bitter sweet island of the soul. I can not live with out this music. I was choking on the fumes of modernity before the Bassa Nova took pity and chose to save me. It's revelation informed my soul and it's grace renews and purifies me. I'm forever in it's debt. It is my religion, it is my God. I believe, I believe, I believe in the Bossa Nova. Nothing else. All other music has failed me through the years, but the Bossa Nova continues to heal and inspire.
Thank you God for letting me be Brazilian! The lyrics of this song... only brazilian people can fully understand and feel each single word... Bravo João!
Grande Joao!

タイミングの取り方、間合い..訳が判りません!!!超凄いです!!!!!歌&ギターのサステインも凄く良いです。CDの様にボイジングを多用せず、シンプルです。その点も恐ろしくカッコ良いです!!!!

I wonder if I'd even enjoy this as much if I understood the language? Probably. Joao Gilberto is amazing.

Yeah this did inspire the film, though Gilliam uses a very different version.
They don't make people like Joao Gilberto anymore.
