Carlos Santana Stone Flower ( Caravanserai) a tune by Tom Jobim

What's that sound I hear coming from the ground
That' going 'round and 'round I can feel it pull me down
On my knees tears of joy have come to me
As the flower sounds made it plain to see


That this world is a perfect place to live
There is a warm soft wind blowing 'round me just to give
All the leaves such a haunting melody
That forever will be a part of me


Just like a ship out on the sea
Floating alone no one around me or beyond me
The sun is on me


Then suddenly I felt a kiss out of the breeze
That did caress me and posess me
Oh it astounds me


All around there's a feeling in the air
That with the grace of time we'll be getting closer there
But day by day I can see they walk away
And I wonder, lord will they ever know


That this world is a perfect place to live?
Just look into your heart, find the love that's there to give
Realize that the secret is to share

@marciakaye It is always nice when a great muscian like Carlos pays tribute to a little known musicion. Thanks for the feedback. Now I can go and explore some of Antonio Carlos Jobim's music if I can find it

[marciakaye1]

@MicrosoftsourceCode yes. He was one of our greatest, wrote amazing songs . you can find anything from him on youtube. I only have to disagree on the comment about "little known musician", he was in any way "little". He was world famous. Frank Sinatra recorded an album with him, among others. I thank you for the response to my comment, very nice of you. Thank you.

@marciakaye1 did not mean it that way dude. My early life was in Zambia. My mother liked her church African music. Non of us listen to rock music because of all the bad press about rock stars taking drugs and dying. One day in a record store my mother saw Santana 1st album. The fact that it had a mixture of different coloured people intrigued her. She has to listen to the album. We were all stunned and amazed by the band for year's.

@MicrosoftsourceCode I was not offended in any way.. Now that I learned about you and your life I can see the inspiration Carlos Santana and this particular song brought in to your life.. Just made me very happy and honored as a Brazilian like Jobim.. Thanks again.. and Wish you the best.

@marciakaye1 Brazilian? Lovely!.My heart always has a longeing for places like South America and the Asian content. I guess listening to certain music makes me feel that way. I make a video one my channel explaining my discovery of Santana. I get asked a lot of questions so I made the video hoping to answer many of them.

@marciakaye There was little difference between the African drum pattens and the Santana drum break beats. So we assumed Santana might be an African band. The songs in Chicano had many words that sounded Africa. So you could say at the time Santana was a little known band. Never getting their music aired on the radio like the Beatles. I don't think I would have got to know about Antonio Carlos Jobim had I not posted the video.

@infinitalocura Thanks for the cool comment. I used to listen to this album when I was 13 years old. One day I watch Sindbad the Sailor movie and some of the dancing seemed to fit some of the music on the album. I used wonder what some of the lyric where so I put them in the description so I would never forget them.
