  • Heard this by many singers--Brazilian and otherwise--and there's just something magic about Susannah's version her. Is it the smile in her voice, her better-than-passable Portuguese pronunciation, the intimacy of her delivery, or the after-the-fact knowledge that she was able to sing such a life-affirming song while wrestling with formidible personal demons? Maybe none of those things, or maybe all of them.

  • @kmc56 Thank you for your kind words!

  • @villagevicarage Wonderful summation.

  • Jobim's gift to the world was sadly at his expense. As with so many artists, Elis Regina, Susannah McCorkle, Amy WInehouse, - these superbly gifted artists must reach into unknown depths of despair in order to find the most intense beauty. Jobim's music is uniquely woeful and clearly from the depths of his soul - you can feel the intertwining of pain and hope. And particularly Jobim's use of sharps as the tunes travel the scales, plummeting downward then soaring upward. Águas de Março is LIFE!

  • awesome song.. she's got a cute accent when she sings in portuguese.. xD

  • @GayatriMantra108:  Right on, and all the best.

  • @Bravo6Whiskey :: Well said, Bravo. Suzanne was Magical as well as troublrf. We must do better than Prozac to treat chronic such depression as she suffered. And her choice of Jobim's classic shows her appreciation of literature as well. I've spoken with many folks about the distinction of musical lyrics from poetry. Jobim's Brilliance shows us that sometimes the two are one.

    Blessings for the memory of Antonio Carlos (Thom) Jobim and Suzanna McCorkle.

  • so pure

  • This is the voice of an angel.....So sad she met such a tragic end....
