i wish that for my 19th birthday Basia could come out of my cake and start singing New Day For You and then Peter White could be behind the couch with his classical guitar and Danny White hiding behind my grandmother's piano......hey I can dream!
Interesting take. About twice as fast as the Tom and Elis version which is something everyone who's been here should go and listen to. Right now. I'm not kidding.
Basia managed to suck all the fun and sensuality out of the song and replaced it with a groove, which isn't all bad. Jobim's composition is so hypnotic it works in a wide range of interpretations, except of course Art Garfunkel's which stands as the absolute worst version of this tune ever recorded.
I'm Brazilian.. Even thou I like this version, it's feel absolutely exotic to hear Águas de Março in English. I keep expecting to listen the lyrics in Portuguese!! haha
, I think Im love with the Samba, this song composition is making me feel like going to Brazil. I love the Samba/Jazz especially this song----It's simply magical...ahead always of it's own time.
Look for the Elis Regina version (not hard to find - 3 million views). Perhaps Susannah McCorkle was one of the first to record an English language version?
antonio Carlos Jobim and Ellis regina orginally sung the track if i remeber correctly, and this version is 1 of the best covers i have ever heard next to .........(drum roll) ROSA PASSOS!!!!
@deizel90 yes, you are correct, and I love this song so much... wonderful on so many levels! By the way, her catalog of great songs is surprising! She has a ton of hits from the 80's and 90's... and now she is back on tour... what a voice!
Everyone should have the opportunity to listen to this song at least once a day...I like Basia for this...at least twice a day until every frown is gone. PLZ...but that's "a hope". Thx very much...
i didn't hear this on radios , whew ,a very nice rendition indeed...thanks for posting...

I have heard so many versions of this. Basia is right up at the top of my favorites. Bravo, Basia. I simply adore her music. <3

All in all, my current favorite bossa nova, go and listen to Elis and Tom, you can hear her smiling near the end, it's priceless.
But really, this version works nicely. A cool take, and I respect those who cover a song and make it their own.

@blancounoir Tom Jobim wrote English lyrics himself and performed those on many concert tours.
