LYRICS
Only A Dream In Rio by James Taylor
More than a distant land over a shining sea
More than the steaming green
More than the shining eyes
Well they tell me it's only a dream in Rio
Nothing could be as sweet as it seems
On this very first day down
They remind me, "Son, have you so soon forgotten?"
Often as not, it's rotten inside
And the mask soon slips away
Strange taste of a tropical fruit
Romantic language of the Portuguese
Melody on a wooden flute
Samba floating in the summer breeze, take it easy
It's all right, you can stay asleep
You can close your eyes
You can trust the people of paradise
To call your keeper and tender your good-byes
Oh, what a night, wonderful one in a million frozen fire Brazilian stars
Oh, holy southern cross, later on
Take me way downtown in a tin can
Can't come down from the bandstand
And I'm never thrown for such a loss when they say:
Quando a nossa mae acordar, andareimoz au sol
Quando a nossa mae acordar, cantara' pelos sertao
Quando a nossa mea acordar, todos os filios saberao
Todos os filios saberao, e regozilarao
Caught in the rays of the rising sun
On the run from the soldier's gun
Shouting out loud from the angry crowd
The mild the wild and the hungry child
I'll tell you there's more than a dream in Rio
I was there on the very day
And my heart came back alive
There was more, more than the singing voices
More than the upturned faces
And more than the shining eyes
But it's more than the shining eyes
More than the steaming green
More than the hidden hills
More than the concrete Christ
More than a distant land over a shining sea
More than a hungry child
More like another time
Born of a million years
More than a million years

This show has one of the best versions of JT’s music, that I forget what the original sounded like. I’m deeply attached to this live version

@PaperbackWriter92 5 месяцев назад

I'm still in shock and disbelief that the James Taylor RU-vid channel is now full of vintage footage that to the best of my knowledge no one has ever seen before. JT Team, you're doing a great public service by releasing clips like this! I'm a 31 year old JT fan so this era of his career was before I was born but I remember the "That's Why I'm Here" songs because I'm pretty sure I had the CD at some point. "Only a Dream in Rio" is one of my favorites from this era. My mom who has his earlier albums on vinyl says I've liked his music since I was at least 4 years old.. which is a story I cannot fully explain because I don't know how it happened. I just know as of 2018 (my last show) I've seen him in concert five times since I was in high school, starting with the 2010 Troubadour Reunion Tour that had Carole King.

I just LOVE the sheer enthusiasm of this performance. For those interested in what he sings in Portuguese on the mid section, here it goes: "When our mother awakes / We'll walk under the sun / When our mother awakes / She'll sing throughout the outback / When our mother awakes all of her siblings will just know / All of her siblings will surely know / And they,ll overjoy" In the end of the performance, but not in the original studio recording, he and the backup singers repeat "and they'll overjoy".

Yamaha makes great sounding and beautifully crafted guitars at an affordable price. Never been disappointed with the multiple Yamaha musical instruments I've played. All rock solid , detailed craftsmanship and balanced sound. Nothing wrong with JT playing yamaha or any other brand. Its all in the hands!

@klinej54 6 месяцев назад

In this setting, I would agree. Through a pickup, I think the difference is hard to tell. Acoustic, somewhat of different story. In this situation, it's all about setup and skill. Joe Pass, for example, could pickup a guitar made of a box and a broom stick and make it sound great.

As a son from Rio, I fell blessed by this great homage.Thanks James for this great song!

@TLMuse 6 месяцев назад

Love this! JT as simultaneously laid-back every-man and incredibly solid bandleader-and what a band! I also like how the camera work often features long, dwelling shots, unlike what seems to be a near-universal approach nowadays of changing the shot every 3 seconds (or even more quickly). Thanks, JT team, for sharing this. -Tom

THIS IS SO SPECTACULAR! This song was always so dreamy, taking me - and likely you - to another place. Hypnotic keys from Billy, beautiful harmonies. James in perfect voice. The recording is so clean. THANKS for sharing this magical tune.

@davidjohnston710 6 месяцев назад

Love how James can capture the good vibes of any place, any season, any time and put it into some pretty smooth lyrics. The Latin rhythms in this one just grab you by the core!!! Great song James, thanks!!!!

Sou un gringo de Boston Mass e foi para o Brazil com a minha gata Brasileira em ‘84, ‘85 e ‘87. Fiquei apaixonado pelo Brazil e posso dizer que a descrição nessa canção de James Taylor ilumina exatamente o que faz brasil tão especial, é um país como nenhum outro. Acho que todo o mundo deveria visitá-lo, pelo menos, uma vez na vida. Juro! ❤

I would love a little information on this concert. I saw him in Sunrise, Florida in 1986, and this has that feel to it. I really enjoyed those two backup singers. I believe it was his last concert before he was touring overseas. Something like that. The concert at Sunrise was just so amazing and had a tangible spiritual quality to it. I went with my boyfriend at the time, who was a jazz guitarist, studying at the University of Miami. He was so impressed.... ❤❤ I just saw his brother Livingston up in Bellows Falls, Vermont for a Christmas show. As usual, he was simply wonderful! Such an amazing family.🎉❤

@PaperbackWriter92 5 месяцев назад

The description to the above RU-vid video mentions it's from a German music program. I'm not from Germany myself though so unfortunately I can't really tell you much about "Ohne Filter". I'm just another fan, one who wasn't born yet in 1986. I'm 31 but that's cool you saw his brother Livingston. The two background singers I believe are Arnold McCuller and Rosemary Butler which I already knew due to seeing different footage from the 80s. Here they are again. I remember this concert from Public television because it had been recorded onto a home VHS tape not by me, but my mom. I just kept it around because it's more or less how I remember first seeing James Taylor. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-x4qjS5Q2Xqg.html

@davehardy9555 6 месяцев назад

Is that JT playing a Yamaha? A "Poor Mans Martin"? I'd love to know the story behind that. I'm not putting down Yamaha - I grew up playing several Yamaha guitars and still have several. But, I've never seen JT playing one until now and I'd love to hear the story behind why he was playing one in this video or at this gig.

@LoisChisholm 6 месяцев назад

There is a video of James telling the stories of his guitars. Interesting stuff there.

@danielsierravila7322 6 месяцев назад

@davehardy9555 the story of JT guitars its quite remarkable. First he had the Gibson J50. From 1969 till the end of 1972 (from Sweet Baby James to One Man Dog). During One Man dog sessions he get in touch with Whitebook guitars trough John McLaughin. And since 1973 until 1985 he stays with his own Mark Whitebook signature. So from Walking Man to the Dad loves his work album thats the guitar youre hearing. He lost the original Whitebook during his divorce with Carly Simon in 1983 so he had to build another one. But I think he needed something new and playable trough out his travels so after try some Martin guitars, Takamine, etc… He gets his Yamaha signature at the end of 1985. He uses it from 1985 to 1989 (Thats why im here and Never Die Young album) where he finally gets his famous Olson Guitar on guitar case in a hotel room. He explains part of this staff in a video he has on his RU-vid channel. Hope it helps Dave!

James still has the guitar. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KVV8xK43nAA.htmlsi=3vljP6gCOw8Dz1_a&t=453

Hi look up "James Taylor me and my guitars UTube full interview " he goes through his main acoustics through the years and the custom Yamaha is there he chats about it He also played a takamine for a few years check it out it's a great video ...cheers.

@RogerBiwandu 6 месяцев назад

Always a real threat to see the late great Carlos Vega on drums with JT. And that song obsesses me, I think it's Russ on the studio take, just beautiful.
