Where is Unchained Melody? It was in the movie also. I'm just curious if anyone has heard why it wasn't included. I LOVE that song!
I I've loved that version ever since they first released it...I've always loved the song, but the Dragoons,..of which my nephew was a member at the time ..make it Hilarious!!
Águas de Março ("The Waters of March") "A Brazilian song composed by Antônio Carlos Jobim in 1972. The lyrics, originally written in Portuguese, do not tell a story, but rather present a series of images that form a collage. The inspiration for "Águas de Março" came from Rio de Janeiro's rainiest month, March, with heavy rain that causes flooding in many places around the city. The lyrics and the music have a constant downward progression much like the water torrents flowing in the gutters of Rio de Janeiro in March, typically carrying sticks, stones, bits of glass, and almost everything and anything. Jobim also wrote this version of the lyrics in English." Alba Armengou and Rita Payés, with the Sant Andreu Jazz Band, directed by Joan Chamorro (Joel Frahm on Saxophone)
This is the only version from the Great composer Carlos Antonio Jobim, Waters of March from the same Album! (In English)
Wow! It's like two different songs. This version sounds dark. I used to have a friend from Brazil who loved Jobin. She told me one characteristic of most of his songs is they gave you both a sad, and a happy, feeling at the same time. There is probably a word for that. Maybe only in Portuguese. Those two young girls were so cute, they made that song fun, even if you didn't understand the words. I just ran across it by accident. Apparently that band is made up of all young people, at times some as young as 10 years old, and their performances almost always feature at least one professional artist.
"Feliz e triste is a Portuguese word, meaning happy & sad, that has no direct translation to English, since it is so complex. …" "saudade: Of Portuguese origin, in a whole bunch of clumsy English words, saudade means “the love that remains” after someone is gone. It’s the recollection of feelings, experiences, places or events that once brought excitement, pleasure, wellbeing, which now triggers the senses and makes one live again. It describes a deep nostalgic longing." "But it goes deeper – implicit in the emotion is the fact it often carries a repressed knowledge that the object of longing will never return. It can be described as an emptiness, like someone (your children, parents, sibling, grandparents, friends, pets) or something (places, things you used to do in childhood) that should be there in a particular moment is missing, and the individual feels this absence. It can also describe a love for something that you know will never exist."
