A Felicidade - Bossa Nova - Jobim

[robertmbruno]

Yea man , a tear to my eye , a memory to my heart , and I don't know why . Is sadness forever and happiness not ? I think so and we are close , we are distant and close in our human condition.I am glad to see you and hear your personal rendition . Thanks for sharing once again this unexplainable feeling .Far from the daily carnival,a beauty can't be bought, Maybe it shouldn't be bought ,but given as you have given here , and given a moment of recognition as our moments go till they're gone .

[mostlybossa]

@robertmbruno Thank you so much for the wonderful comment Bob ! I wish I could express myself as well as you do....... I'm actually quite obsessed with your fabulous composition 'Wind' and your acoustic version !

[mrskaylee640]

you are awesome!! 

[mostlybossa]

@mrskaylee640 Thank you very much ! You've made my day !

[lifedeathexpert]

First time I heard you, I believed you were a brasilian and if it wasn`t for the comments... I`d never guess. Awesome job man!

[mostlybossa]

@lifedeathexpert Thanks a lot ! Your comment is very encouraging for an amateur like me ! :)

[neilendrigo]

[sangiorz23]

Well, I found out where you live!

Take care and keep going strong!

[mostlybossa]

Thank you very much for your encouragement sangiorz23 ! You are very kind .........warm regards

[sangiorz23]

You are... Brazilian, in spirit and soul! Wonderful rendition of one of my all time favorites, loved it. And it goes beyond... 'especially because you aren't Brazilian'! :) Good voices and musicianship transcend cultures..

Where do you live (I am just curious)? I wish you all the best.

[robertmbruno]

Simply but beautifully put .Apenas bate o ponto, cara! Keep on keeping on!

[mostlybossa]

Thanks robertmbruno !

[Eleloroots]

Great!

Nice playing!

Coul you give me the chords?

I also play bossa nova in guitar...

Bless from Peru...

[mostlybossa]

Thanks Eleloroots ! Right now video is all I have ! Will post the chords after some time ..........as I have done for some other videos

[marqik]

beautiful. what album do you recommend that has bossa nova guitar music like this?

[mostlybossa]

Thanks marqik ! My favourite voice and guitar bossa musician is Joao Gilberto ! The Live in Montreux double CD would be a good starting point to hear his live performances ....... however I would suggest listening to all his albums to understand how he improvises with voice and guitar.

[mafemo91]

exelente! Congratulations! me gusta mucho ! realmente lo hace con el alma y simplemente brilla lo que hace y uno lo siente ! :]

[mostlybossa]

Thank you very much for your encouraging comments ....... I wish I could write Spanish to reply .......Thanks again / Muchas Gracias

Domingos

[thiagocruz1]

Congratulations for your videos, especially because you aren't brazilian, and you are definately very talented. Bossa nova is passion, and you really do with your soul. Nice watching you and sorry about my english. Meus parabéns!!!

[mostlybossa]

Thanks a lot for your comment thiagocruz1 ! Your english is perfect ! My Portuguese unfortunately needs a lot of improvement ...... I'm trying ! Muito Obrigado !

[lorenzino1]

Hi ! I put another comment about this song, that I like, to tell you that your "violao" sounds great ; I suppose that it's a Takamine ? Would like to know the mark of this guitar. I could rate it again, so I've put 5* again. I'm going on listening to your videos. Later ! BYE !

[mostlybossa]

Thanks again Lorenzino ! The guitar is a really old Ovation ...... one of their Nylon Folk series from 1979 ...... one of those made in USA not China !

[maniacablator]

fine

[mostlybossa]

Thanks maniacablator !

[lorenzino1]

Hi ! Another good video, 5* again. This one wasn't played in the same tonality that I use, so I couldn't play "with you", but have listened to it twice! BYE !

[mostlybossa]

[alboal1949]

Very nice song and voice. Beatiful!!

Este verano vi en directo a Toquinho y Maria Creuza y desde entonces intento con mi guitarra cantar estas canciones. Me temo que a mi guitarra le faltan acordes!!! Me falta mucho que aprender para llegar a su nivel!!!

BRAVO!!

Thank you very much for your kind comment alboal1949 ! Toquinho live ? wow ! I wish I had that opportunity !

Hello Mostlybossa, first of all let me thank you for posting this video, it's so well played and your accent is perfect! Have you ever been to Brazil? Can you speak Portuguese? I bet you can!

Bem, então muitas Felicidades e espero que você continue com este trabalho maravilhoso!

Um forte abraço do Brasil!

André

[mostlybossa]

Thank you very much koumoridako , for your generous comment ! Never been to Brasil ..... dream of it constantly though :) ! I understand Portuguese but speak very little .... never learnt it ! Muito Obrigado pelo comentario !

[mostlybossa]

Hey thanks a lot pristy86 !

[Jesimar8]

Exelente version¡¡

[mostlybossa]

Thank you Jesimar8 !

[waldo0708]

Excellent!!! Jobin should be smiling up there listening your interpretation.You're a complete artist I'm pretty sure you must play Luiza quite well.

[mostlybossa]

Thank you waldo0708 ! I'm not very fluent yet with 'Luiza' but hope to be so that I can post it ! Thanks for your generous comment !

[robertmazzo]

Para bems, mostlybossa. I love your version. I'm working on it now on the piano, and singing along.

Doesn't he repeat "Tristeza nao tem fim" each time you go back to the top? Okay, sorry if I'm being picky...LOL...Bob Mazzo

[mostlybossa]

Thanks Bob ! I've heard many versions and the ones I identified with sing it only once. There is one version of Joao Gilberto when he sings it twice, as a variation, in the second verse ! Domingos

[david0mar]

tocas y cantas genial =)

[mostlybossa]

Gracias david0mar!

[supermegarata]

Muchas Gracias Javierb79 !

[alivonal]

Dude, More.

[mostlybossa]

Glad you liked it alivonal ! There are 15 other videos on my channel if you'd like to watch :):)

[casalumina]

Bom! I was in Goa some 4 years ago and hardly could find anyone who could speak any Portuguese, your pronunciation not too bad.

[mostlybossa]

Thanks ! You're right, very few people speak Portuguese in Goa ! Ever since English has become the preferred medium of instruction, Portuguese has faded ! I don't speak it, but understand a little :) !!!

[Adrilondon]

The Brasilian accent is almost there mate!! good job. thanks

[vouououou]

I M LOOKING YOU FOR THE CHORDS

[jorgebenbrasil]

very nice - but why do you use the capo? to get in the right key for singing?

[mostlybossa]

thanks ! yes , my guitar is tuned 1 whole tone lower because it suits my voice better for some songs. I like the voicings in this key that's why the capo !

[vouououou]

mostlybossa qund je te regarde tous les jours le monde peut s ecrouler c est pas grave je n entendrais rien ta musique des dieux me transporte ailleurs

[mostlybossa]

help vouououou ! Translation? Could someone please translate ?

[mostlybossa]

merci vouououou !

[angelasovercoat]

You are brilliant - keep it up and thank you !!!!

[mostlybossa]

Thank you Angela ! Noticed I am in your favourites ! I'm flattered !

[bendolu]

[TomsClub]

[mostlybossa]

thank you !

[sonnenberg]

Very enjoyable!  My version of this song will be improved after watching yours.

[mostlybossa]

Thank you ! Good to have you here !

[Jazzguts]

You've got the Samba,Bossa feel man and the subtleness that goes along with it,such a pleasant musical sound and style, both in melodic and harmonic sense.

I'll be playing some nice Brazilian tunes soon with my improvisations on them,these compositions are just as interesting as Jazztunes I think,Victor.

[saturdaydance]

AWESOME dude !
