Why is Portuguese such a fitting language of expressing the bitter sweet depths of the soul through beautiful music? Bowie even acknowledged that SJs' versions made his songs even more complete.
Seu Jorge é um dos melhores atores, cantores, músicos e pessoas - do mundo. Man hes fucking amazing. Im an aussie who lives in Brazil... when I was looking for brazilian music to practise my portuguese, Seu Jorge me salvou.
Most closed-minded Americans (which is most of us) believe the balance of the world has nothing to offer. Having picked-up my first instrument some 50 years ago, I can tell them they are so wrong. Thinking out of ones self means everything to ones growth. This guy (who I've never heard before), has great melodic, and composition sense, and deserves every hit this video's received! Like my father used to say, "Love one another!" ♥ It will only get better!
I'm a david bowe fan but this to me is a better version of life on Mars.. don't get me wrong bowie made it a classic. But jorge makes it just sound so nice I'm Portuguese and listening to his version and understanding it makes it feel like a brand new song. With better and understandable lyrics.
every once in a while, someone will come along and take a classic song and make it truly theirs. It's beautiful. Johnny Cash did it with a NiN song, Seu Jorge did it with a bunch of Bowie songs
un homme merveilleux en sachant qu il jouait de la guitare dans le metro a sao paulo le plus grand des respect a cet homme et a celui qui lui a donne sa chance
the portuguese language have this wonderful characteristic of the many ways that the pronounce can be used! the sonority is just great for such kind of songs! seu jorge apavora!
I love this! Makes me want to learn Portuguese so that I can better understand what he says in his translation, and to understand the nuance and all. Very beautiful music. Classy and done in a classical, almost Baroque style, when you think about the guitar...could be a mandolin...la, la,la!
I already knew Seu Jorges Version from the movie with Bill Murray - but am I the only one who finds the smoking in the beginning & the small studio box incredibly funny? I nearly died, love it : )))))))))))))))))))))))))
bless you wes anderson for bringing seu jorge to the spot light. it was time for some good music in portuguese to appear. Muito bem seu jorge. seu poder vem do sol :) (your power comes from the sun)
Nossa ha quanto tempo não lembrava desta música e este filme, adoro Seu Jorge, a canção é lindaaaaaaaa E o flme é ótimo!!! "A vida aquática de Steve Zissou" eu super recomendo, humor ótimo, inteligente do diretor Wes Anderson mesmo de " Viagem a Darjeeling" que também é muitooo bom
Impossível ficar indiferente a esta interpretação genial!!! Uma melodia fantástica, reinterpretada por uma letra fantástica!!! A singeleza do acompanhamento do violão, somado a um vocal soberbo, contribui para dar ainda mais força a esta música. Sensacional!! Admirável!!!
Seu Jorge, in my mind, is like the guitar playing brazilian match of the trumpet playing Miles Davis. Both are ingenious in their music and innovation.
And the best director award goes to Wes Anderson! Have a gander at Sun Country afterwards if you're unsure of what to search and are hoping to tickle your eardrums.
Yes, it is Portuguese (not French or backwards talk, hahaha, that last one almost killed me). It doesn't have much to do with the original lyrics but it's nice nevertheless.
+Alex Brady it's a rough translation, but I did the best I could. Often the heart is unable to understand what the mind does not care, nor have the strength to obey. How many dreams have destroyed and let out of the hands If the future so allow, I do not intend to live in vain My love, we are not alone. there is a world that awaits us in the infinite blue sky May be life on Mars So come on, give me your tongue So come here, I want to hug you. His power comes from the sun, my measure Honey, let's live life Then comes, if I lose who I am I'll have to move to a life on mars ______________________________________________________________ Muitas vezes o coração não consegue compreender o que a mente não faz questão, Nem tem forças pra obedecer. Quantos sonhos já destruí e deixei escapar das mãos Se o futuro assim permitir, não pretendo viver em vão Meu amor, não estamos sós. há um mundo que nos espera no infinito do céu azul Pode ter vida em Marte Então vem cá, me dá a sua língua Então vem cá, eu quero abraçar você. Seu poder vem do sol, minha medida Meu bem, vamos viver a vida Então vem, senão eu vou perder quem sou Vou querer me mudar para uma life on mars
