Incredible percussion by Brazilian Carlinhos Brown! And we brazilians don´t give him the attention he deserves for his big talent as a musician. Great job!
Wow! Josh just keeps getting better and better! This song is so beautiful and magical! He sounds AMAZING singing in Portugese (spelling)! Josh could sing any language beautifully!
Whoa those lyrics are crazy. It would take me a while to get these down. lol Italian, French and Spanish are easy but Portugese? Wow! Josh is freaken amazing!!
@misskris111 well i'm portuguese and i'm quite amazed myself to see him do this,i thought this might another of those stupid brazilian covers like they used to do but using a josh groban song this time but no it's realy him lol
I have never really heard of Josh until recently. I heard his single "Higher Window" on the hsopping channel, so I looked it up, and now I am obsessed. He is really passionate about his singing, and the lyrics are beautiful.
What kind of logic is this? That Josh is getting "worse" because he is not going classical? There aren't many singers out there who have the ability to venture into new realms of music like what Josh is doing. AND he is just brilliant! Keep up the good work Josh!
Really do love this! It sounds like it would be out of the "Chronicles of Narnia" movie soundtrack or something like that. Hollywood, are you listening?
The more I listen to Josh's new cd, the more I fall in love with the songs. I have so much respect for him for having the courage to venture into new territories of music and this only makes me love him more! I am one proud Grobanite because my idol not only has real and massive talent, but is also a kind, humble, generous, humorous, hardworking, and brave person who refuses to go with the tide of weird clothes and disgusting gimmicks. Once a Grobanite, forever a Grobanite! Bravo, Josh!
I believe in his talents and he's the only artist / singer that I ever heard singing different languages for me that is Amazing. We Grobanites are so proud of you not only with your Good looks, and Amazing voice but also your character being Funny and Down to earth person. Don't ever change Josh because we love you for who you are.
Tell your friends and fellow Grobanites - Josh's latest single, "L'Ora Dell'Addio" is available on my YouTube profile. The video is called "L'Ora Dell'Addio - Josh Groban". Search for it!
hmmm its sort of different, but it isn't at the same time. It still has the amplification he has in a lot of his songs. But the percussion and felsato is totally different :D. I like it, but the percussion is somewhat distracting.
Long time waiting for my favorite singer singing in my mother language Portuguese. Thanks Josh for this amazing song, it´s great and I loved the Olodum participation, it´s so Brazilian...

To 1979Brigitte, Themusic8424, & TorturedXeno I know that every one is intitled to their opinion but I have 2 say I totally DISAGREE with every negitive thing that is said about him HE is a MAGNIFICENT artist & man so let him do his work 4 his TRUE fans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@whitestarline08 I agree with you to those who criticize Josh, please leave him alone. In every album he make Josh is experimenting and it makes it unique / or to be different. And for me all his songs is getting better and better.
Josh can't please everyone apparently. There will always be differing opinions, but if he chooses to go this direction, and you agree that he is really talented, why not support him in his journey? I don't think his production is just to entertain people,but rather speak to people through his music; and above all the talents, his passion for charity and his humble character is worth noting as well.
@chernykyc The people who are discussing the new sound ARE supporting Josh. We still love him and respect his decisions. I understand that he wants to do different things and you have to move with the times or get left behind in this industry. I just PREFER his old sound. Actually, I LOVE this song. I think the only one I love more is "Oceano."
@MdnightWnd Ehm, maybe not for yourself, but that's the impression that I got from the multiple comments that I read, which didn't appear very "reasonable" or constructive. Maybe it's the usage of language? =D
I'm brazilian, too. The lyrics kinda doesn't make sense. It's "será", not "serra", and "mimar jardim" (spoil garden)??? Awesome song, nonetheless! I hope he sings more songs in portuguese!
@Rocketchair1989 I agree! Why do people need to critique every little note? The point is that Josh is a very talented artist. He is finally doing music the way HE wants to. He is true to himself and loves his fans. His true fans know whats up. :)
@themusic8424 Totally agree! Some people think they know better than Josh what is good for him. It is obvious that nobody can sing perfectly every note all the time in live. But this song is from a CD and I'm totally sure it sounds as Josh and Rick want to sound. Whether the fans like it or not it's up to them and their taste. Everybody and everything changes even Josh and the fans and their taste of sounding.
@themusic8424 So you are saying that people who don't love all of Josh's music aren't "true" fans? I've loved his music since the first album and consider myself a true fan - I've gone to concerts, I've bought albums. If he wants to take this direction, I support that, but I'm not obligated to enjoy every song he sings.
Beautiful song! I loved the arrangement! Congratulations Josh Groban, you always surprise us. May God protect you always and continue to bless this talent and incredible voice. Kisses to all Brazilians who appreciate good music.
Josh has my big admiration he chose portuguese for his song because it looks to be a very difficult language and I´m not able to say well even the name. If someone wants to compare this song to his previous more classical ones it´s impossible because it´s absolutely something different and it was purpose.
I love this song from the first tones. It´s lively, musical..just wonderful.
His voice does sound different in this song. I still cant beleive how perfect he is at pronouncing everything in every language he has ever sang. I cant say i really like the new pitches he is doing, but i mean is JOSH FREAKING GROBAN! even with his okay-ish songs he still whips everyone elses butts! I <3 JG!
Hello Friend!....It was great that you posted the lyrics!!!!Thank you for doing that! You were the first to post a video of this song, congratulations !!!!! And thank you for watching my video and for your comment! I am leaving you and Josh my thumbs up!!!!!!I love this song!!!!!!!!Best, Rosemarie
This song has great music, it mixes traditional with modern instruments, dance-like. I feel so inspired and enthusiastic as I listen to this. Very highly recommended when you're feeling down... ^,~
Musik is something that comes from inside so when somebody want's to talk about musik must clear his mind and open his heart!! It's wrong when you criticise any song by using your logic! Open your soul close your eyes clear your mind and listen again this song! If you do it right you will see thr difference!! Josh has an exceptional voice and believe me he can sing!! If someone did not like this song is ok but please don't tell that josh lost his voice! Clear your ears!!! Thanks!!!
@brq48 I used to play in a school band, too. I couldn't agree with you more, it is so incredibly different just listening to it instead of being a part of creating it. I do enjoy both, of course, but I do miss the latter. But I'm glad the song can bring back some warm memories of when I did participate.. :)

Thank you so much for posting this! I heard the preview last night on itunes and reallly loved it! Unfortunately, I don't have excess money to spend on buying this song if I'm hoping to have enough to buy the cd when it comes out. Thanks again, very glad to not have to wait until November to hear the full version of this song!
Learn how to enjoy this music. It is a performance showing the spirit of a different and rich culture, a mixing of sounds and movements from the Brazilian music history. Full of passion e poetry. First, put the volume of your speakers very loud, imagine yourself walking alone on a raining day in a quiet boulevard surrounded by flowers and gardens. Raise your hands, follow the contagious beat, think about anything that makes you happy. When you less expect, you will be dancing. :)
@Benice74 Thank you for saying this so well, Bernice. I love that you commented that the truth of this music is in it's spirit, culture, the mixing of sounds and movements, full of passion and poetry. That is not only lovely, but a perfect description. That's what I hear when I listen. And dancing? Well, we're all looking forward to Josh's tour and hearing this song live. It will be amazing.
@Benice74 Love how you comment "learn how to enjoy this music". I love it because it (like Hidden Away) are different from what we are used to hearing from him. I love the drums/rhythm of this song, it's really powerful. Though it almost makes me a bit sad, as for some reason hearing this song makes me think back to the days when I was in a school band, and I miss being able to play great music as a group. It's so different from just listening to it.
It's a beautiful song and Josh's voice is perfect. Carlinhos Brown is an amazing musician and I love what they were able to do with this song. The drums are such a brilliant addition., too.
Why songs need to perfect in translation I don't know. I guess just something for negative people to complain about. Really don't like self-made critics - well, I do since they make me laugh. Who are they, anyway?
Well I am from Brazil, I love Josh Groban, but I really didn´t like this song. The lyrics are poor, the melody doesn´t match the instruments. Sorry Josh..But I have to be honest... But I am sure that the rest of the album will be amazing.
can someone explain what this song it about? I've read the lyrics and there is a ton on conviction in the writing and his voice bu I still don't understand.
Well, he definitely tried something new and adventurous. Thus I must admit: I do like it if artists are trying something new, and in this case it is excellently done. This song reminds me of the artist Emmanuel Moire. And I also like Emmanuel Moire. To sum it up: I looove this song :D. Thank you for uploading it.
As a brazilian myself and an English teacher for the past 22 years now I can say he sounds very good. He must have trained a lot to sound so "natural". As for the style, it's really not what we (Josh's fans) have been used to. However, he's come to a status (IMHO) he doesn't need to prove anything to anybody. Let him live! Let him try whatever he wants!
@TorturedXeno .. Thank you for sharing this.. The lyrics are awesome.. Thank you .. I hope when Josh sings this in concert he uses dancers for his background and him dancing with them would be great.sort of African Brazilian style... hope he does this song up.. can't wait to see him dancing with some dancers.. Thank you for sharing this once again..☺
THIS SONG IS BEAUTIFUL, THANK YOU JOSH FOR LINDA VOZ DE ANGEL, HEAR MAKES ME HAPPY, YOU ARE THE BEST MALE VOICE OF OUR TIMES. AND I WISH EVERYONE COULD HEAR. I LOVE YOU, I HOPE SOON COME TO MEXICO
Gasp. How dare you (hehe). The lyrics are beautiful. And that's what makes it music; it doesn't need to make sense, it's meant to express emotion and passion. Which he displays spectacularly in this particular song. I, for one, am in love with it :) And his pronunciation is perfect.
Search for "Carlinhos Brown" on youtube and you'll find the video of him recording it with Dida band.
I think the lyrics do perfect sense, considering who wrote them, Mr. Brown; we brazilians do know that his songs are always like this, I mean, the poetic style is typical of him.
Love the sound, and love the pronunciation! I have to say, my language is really beautiful, "phonetically" speaking.
@Raphataddei What kind of "poetic style" are we talking about? Are we talking Octavio Paz-style or doesn't-make-any-sense style (like Jason Mraz in "I'm Yours")?
@TorturedXeno I couldn't say... I don't know Octavio Paz, but definitelly not like Jason Mraz (this guy really doesn't make any sense). But I can say I really like the lyrics, they're not nonsense. You just have to know Carlinhos Brown songs, then you'll see he has his own style. It's really poetic, and if you translate the literal meaning you'll lose the beauty of the lyrics. I love this part: "Espero amar você até durar / a lua que esclarece esse sol / sem descansar jamais".
@heyhey33345 Are you brazilian? =] Creio que precisamos pensar como Carlinhos Brown, as suas músicas têm um sentido bastante conotativo, é preciso descobrir o que ele diz por trás daquilo, é o estilo dele. Eu entendi da seguinte forma: "Espero amar você até durar / a lua que esclarece esse sol / sem descansar jamais" (isto é: espero que o meu amor por você seja eterno, dure enquanto a lua esclarecer o sol, dure enquanto a lua estiver iluminando o sol, ou seja, eternamente). =]
@Raphataddei Sim, mas temos que considerar também que não foi apenas Carlinhos Brown quem escreveu a música. Josh e Lester Mendez também tiveram colaboração...
@heyhey33345 Ahh! Ok! Eu não sabia que eles colaboraram também com a letra. Mas mesmo assim, pra mim é realmente típico "Carlinhos Brown"! hehe. Eu particularmente gostei da melodia, achei realmente poético... mas certamente o poder da música vai além do que simplesmente entender, é mais importante ser tocado por ela, e se isso aconteceu, acho que a pessoa conseguiu captar de alguma forma o que o compositor e o intérprete quiseram transmitir através dos versos. Abs e obrigada!!
I always liked Josh Groban, but to be honest I don't like this song.. His voice sounds quite unstable, tired and nasal. Some notes are even a bit flat. His voice was much smoother and richer when he was 20 years old.
I think this song really misses structure. The drums doesn't really blend with the orchestra, like it's a demo-recording.
This is the second song on the new album that I dislike. :(
@1979Brigitte I'll admit that Josh seems to have kinda gotten worse over time. I don't know if it's because his voice teacher is teaching him techniques that are slowly making his voice worse or if he's losing his hearing or what, but Josh does get really pitchy sometimes and some of his notes aren't really ideal. Also, I don't like his "ee" sound in his sounds; it sounds too spread, which makes it a bit nasal too.
As for whether the drums work with the orchestra, that's a matter of opinion.
@TorturedXeno@1979Brigitte Just so you know, Josh and Rick Rubin, the producer of the album did something that is kind of unheard of in the industry. They had Josh and the orchestra record together, at the same time...and most, if not all of the songs were recorded in one take...so you are basically hearing the recording of a live perfomance. Not that knowing this would change your opinions, but I thought it was worth mentioning. I didn't really like Hidden Away, but I LOOOOVE this one!!!
@TorturedXeno I agree with you...this song is really..nothing special.I guess..that josh sings in this style on purpose..i think he wanted to introduce something new to his singing..and he left behind his classical deep voice...which i miss a lot in his new songs..I hope he won't completely...stick to music like this samba song..either he will lose..his biggest..most devoted fans,who loved his classical,beautiful.and undescribable voice and music.I hope he won't dissapoint us ..
@Anita8891 I listen to older songs like 'To Where You Are' and there is a big difference in the vocals. I think the changes really started with the Awake album. It went from a deeper, more classical style, to higher notes with a slightly more pop sound with more percussion in the instrumental.
I was disappointed with "Hidden Away" and hoped that I would find something I love on his new album. This song is definitely a step in the right direction. I can't wait to hear the Italian songs.
@MdnightWnd i definetly agree! i was just talking to a fellow Josh Groban lover about how his Awake album was so different ...i found that i was so used to the past style that i actually did'nt like some of his songs in Awake. This song, i agree, is like his previous style in that it's more classical..i've always loved that style in him. :)
@HappyFeet012626 I agree with you! There were more songs on "Awake" that I didn't like than any of his other albums (though there are a couple that I LOVE). In my opinion, he was at his peak on "Closer." That entire album was pure magic. I love Josh no matter what, but part of me really misses the old style.
It does sadden me when I hear his newer recordings. It's like he's lost the drama from when he was younger.
I think it's his doing all these cross-over projects. Some experiments work, like his remake of Cinema Paradiso with Joshua Bell. However, like in this song, I felt like he was going somewhere...somewhere...somewhere... but never got there. :( I hope it's just the drama that's been lost, and not the passion.
@TorturedXeno You are completely right. Josh has the same vocal teacher as Sarah Brightman at the moment. Her voice changed a lot since a few years. When you listen to her Christmas album she has the same 'screaming; technique that Josh uses when he hits a high note. He must be very carefull because he's damaging his vocal chords this way.
@1979Brigitte josh groban has one of the greatest vocal teachers.. pretty sure its not damaging his voice. if hes taught right its not gonna do shit to his vocal chords
@Gabriel2027 Well maybe it's not damaging his voice, but it doesn't sound natural. He sounds very nasal. His falsetto sounds very unstable too.. the recordings of his new album sound like it's an amateurish live recording instead of a high qualitiy studio. There are just too many flat notes..
But well, I'm listening to 'Closer' right now, which is a perfect album: beautiful melodies and lyrics and a young Josh Groban in perfect vocal shape :)
@1979Brigitte Oh, finally I found someone who agrees with me!
I'm brazilian, I must say that the pronunciation is pretty good, but...
The lyrics are poor, actualy, I couldn't see much sense on them, somtimes I think the sound of instruments overshadow Josh's voice, and he's singing very nasal. I totally agree that it sounds like a demo-recording.
I didn't like this song at all. I was so excited because my favorite singer was going to sing in my language, but now I'm a little disappointed...
@1979Brigitte I definately agree with you,I am a big fan of Josh..since the very beginning..and i can't even find words..to describe..how much I loved his two first CD...his pure...classical..deep voice...reaching the deepest parts of the soul..His voice..and music changed my life..and I'll be forever grateful for what he did..but to be honest..I also don't like this new song...it's completely not his style..the drums are really annoying.,,I am really sad ,hope other songs will be better..
@1979Brigitte Knowing Josh and his music is a journey. And he is the leader. He started this journey under David Foster'r wings. And with more classical sounding. I'm not certain that this style was his taste. But he was young and the one who defined his way was Foster. They made powerful and wonderful music together and we have always been grateful to Foster that he discovered Josh. But this is Josh's journey and his choice. Illuminations is a new album. His taste and his soul and passion.
@Maybenextyear1 He said he put his sweat, tears and blood into Illuminations. And he said this album is a very personal one. Thus this is Josh and his style, maybe his new style. I don't think that his voice or his hearing is getting worse with time. This is a strange oppinion. This is another sort of sounding. Maybe he use another singing technique. And he is getting older thus his voice is changing and being more matured. But it doesn't mean that he can't sing anymore on the same level.
@Maybenextyear1 One more word! Sorry that I'm writing a novel here :) So this is a journey. Of course there are fans who don't like all the station in it. They get out or get back to previous stations and they listen Josh's first two albums. Sometimes Josh hits station which was chosen by the fans. Like Noel, his Xmas album. But we let him lead us where he run and we mustn't force him to sing only one style because we would lost the real Josh. I hope my words are correct because I am Hungarian:)
Gasp. How dare you (hehe). The lyrics are beautiful. And that's what makes it music; it doesn't need to make sense, it's meant to express emotion and passion. Which he displays spectacularly in this particular song. I, for one, am in love with it :) And his pronunciation is perfect.

To be very honest i didint like Josh singing in Portuguese , weak lyrics, and is the music is not a Josh style . About the comment of turturedxeno Carlisnhos Brown and Josh is something different as water and wine. Josh is a poet and Mr Brown is Mr Brown even in portuguese they don´t make nay sense
I,m Brazilian to and i like Josh since the first CD
Thank you so much for posting this! I cannot wait for Josh's new album! :) It's really cool hearing all the praises for Josh's pronunciation cuz i dont know anything :)
I think the lyrics are pretty intense and crazy enough to belong to Carlinhos Brown :) He writes like this, so it has his own signature. I enjoyed the part he said "a alma bebe o mar que vazou do coração", it's a way too poetic!! Josh's pronunciation is very awesome for who doesn't speak Portuguese; our language is very difficult for an American like him. I know American people that lived in Brazil for years and still has this accent.
Well, the lyrics are a bit poor, sometimes it just don't make sense. But he has a perfect pronunciation of the Portuguese and his voice.. Well, it is perfect.
@TorturedXeno I'm a brazilian too, and I kinda don't understand it either. I mean, the poetic side of it is a little bit nonsense to me, too. But.. I agree with @luizaton, his pronunciation is almost flawless, even with the typical "s" from the people from Rio.
And, it's Josh. Haha he's perfect anyway.. =)
(Oh, Carlinhos Brown is a brazilian, but I don't know what happened there, with the lyrics =P)
I envy all the Portuguese speakers in here. I simply am not familiar enough with the language to get this song's literal or poetic meaning, and running it through a translator makes a mess.

Josh can't please everyone apparently. There will always be differing opinions, but if he chooses to go this direction, and you agree that he is really talented, why not support him in his journey? I don't think his production is just to entertain people,but rather speak to people through his music; and above all the talents, his passion for charity and his humble character is worth noting as well.

@chernykyc The people who are discussing the new sound ARE supporting Josh. We still love him and respect his decisions. I understand that he wants to do different things and you have to move with the times or get left behind in this industry. I just PREFER his old sound. Actually, I LOVE this song. I think the only one I love more is "Oceano."

@themusic8424 Totally agree! Some people think they know better than Josh what is good for him. It is obvious that nobody can sing perfectly every note all the time in live. But this song is from a CD and I'm totally sure it sounds as Josh and Rick want to sound. Whether the fans like it or not it's up to them and their taste. Everybody and everything changes even Josh and the fans and their taste of sounding.

@themusic8424 So you are saying that people who don't love all of Josh's music aren't "true" fans?

If he wants to take this direction, I support that, but I'm not obligated to enjoy every song he sings.

Josh has my big admiration he chose portuguese for his song because it looks to be a very difficult language and I´m not able to say well even the name. If someone wants to compare this song to his previous more classical ones it´s impossible because it´s absolutely something different and it was purpose.
I love this song from the first tones. It´s lively, musical..just wonderful.

Learn how to enjoy this music. It is a performance showing the spirit of a different and rich culture, a mixing of sounds and movements from the Brazilian music history. Full of passion e poetry. First, put the volume of your speakers very loud, imagine yourself walking alone on a raining day in a quiet boulevard surrounded by flowers and gardens. Raise your hands, follow the contagious beat, think about anything that makes you happy. When you less expect, you will be dancing. :)

It's a beautiful song and Josh's voice is perfect. Carlinhos Brown is an amazing musician and I love what they were able to do with this song. The drums are such a brilliant addition., too.
Why songs need to perfect in translation I don't know. I guess just something for negative people to complain about. Really don't like self-made critics - well, I do since they make me laugh. Who are they, anyway?
BTW, I love Jason Mraz's style. Uplifting.

As a brazilian myself and an English teacher for the past 22 years now I can say he sounds very good. He must have trained a lot to sound so "natural". As for the style, it's really not what we (Josh's fans) have been used to. However, he's come to a status (IMHO) he doesn't need to prove anything to anybody. Let him live! Let him try whatever he wants!

Search for "Carlinhos Brown" on youtube and you'll find the video of him recording it with Dida band.
I think the lyrics do perfect sense, considering who wrote them, Mr. Brown; we brazilians do know that his songs are always like this, I mean, the poetic style is typical of him.
Love the sound, and love the pronunciation! I have to say, my language is really beautiful, "phonetically" speaking.

I always liked Josh Groban, but to be honest I don't like this song.. His voice sounds quite unstable, tired and nasal. Some notes are even a bit flat. His voice was much smoother and richer when he was 20 years old.
I think this song really misses structure. The drums doesn't really blend with the orchestra, like it's a demo-recording.
This is the second song on the new album that I dislike. :(
1979Brigitte 1 year ago
@1979Brigitte I'll admit that Josh seems to have kinda gotten worse over time. I don't know if it's because his voice teacher is teaching him techniques that are slowly making his voice worse or if he's losing his hearing or what, but Josh does get really pitchy sometimes and some of his notes aren't really ideal. Also, I don't like his "ee" sound in his sounds; it sounds too spread, which makes it a bit nasal too.
As for whether the drums work with the orchestra, that's a matter of opinion.
TorturedXeno 1 year ago
@TorturedXeno @1979Brigitte Just so you know, Josh and Rick Rubin, the producer of the album did something that is kind of unheard of in the industry. They had Josh and the orchestra record together, at the same time...and most, if not all of the songs were recorded in one take...so you are basically hearing the recording of a live perfomance. Not that knowing this would change your opinions, but I thought it was worth mentioning. I didn't really like Hidden Away, but I LOOOOVE this one!!!

@Anita8891 I listen to older songs like 'To Where You Are' and there is a big difference in the vocals. I think the changes really started with the Awake album. It went from a deeper, more classical style, to higher notes with a slightly more pop sound with more percussion in the instrumental.
I was disappointed with "Hidden Away" and hoped that I would find something I love on his new album. This song is definitely a step in the right direction. I can't wait to hear the Italian songs.

It does sadden me when I hear his newer recordings. It's like he's lost the drama from when he was younger.
I think it's his doing all these cross-over projects. Some experiments work, like his remake of Cinema Paradiso with Joshua Bell. However, like in this song, I felt like he was going somewhere...somewhere...somewhere... but never got there. :( I hope it's just the drama that's been lost, and not the passion.

Swissmade1985 1 year ago
@1979Brigitte Knowing Josh and his music is a journey. And he is the leader. He started this journey under David Foster'r wings. And with more classical sounding. I'm not certain that this style was his taste. But he was young and the one who defined his way was Foster. They made powerful and wonderful music together and we have always been grateful to Foster that he discovered Josh. But this is Josh's journey and his choice. Illuminations is a new album. His taste and his soul and passion.
Maybenextyear1 1 year ago
@Maybenextyear1 He said he put his sweat, tears and blood into Illuminations. And he said this album is a very personal one. Thus this is Josh and his style, maybe his new style. I don't think that his voice or his hearing is getting worse with time. This is a strange oppinion. This is another sort of sounding. Maybe he use another singing technique. And he is getting older thus his voice is changing and being more matured. But it doesn't mean that he can't sing anymore on the same level.
Maybenextyear1 1 year ago
@Maybenextyear1 One more word! Sorry that I'm writing a novel here :) So this is a journey. Of course there are fans who don't like all the station in it. They get out or get back to previous stations and they listen Josh's first two albums. Sometimes Josh hits station which was chosen by the fans. Like Noel, his Xmas album. But we let him lead us where he run and we mustn't force him to sing only one style because we would lost the real Josh. I hope my words are correct because I am Hungarian:)
