infatuation is a form of obsession

@@Anthony-oz1jc something that continually preoccupies a person's mind defines obsession, unlike infatuation in which the person strives to be more like someone, an obsessed person spends all their time thinking about this one person.

not really lovesick... it's more about being a middle-aged man, at the bar's sidewalk, watching a much younger woman passing by, and fantasizing a little bit. Creep-ish, but I agree that he is not obsessed with her

@@julesleodoro although it’s a middle age man singing, the story is through eyes of a young man

Thank You.

You said all truth about Portuguese idiom and bossa nova from Brazil it's another planet very far from statesonian version in english lirics. In english you have a romance between to souls in portuguese you have devotion complicity desire between 2 souls it's another dimension of express the human feelings 🎶🎵💋💋💋🍻🥂

That’s the truth about any song in Portuguese when we try to translate to English, it simply doesn’t work.

Wait till u understand that Aguas de marc(march’s waters) is related to the end of summer and the natural tropical rains that Rio has in March. The huge depressing moment that made a beautiful music

Portuguese is just bastardized Spanish

here, in brazil, we're close to the "Águas de Março", where's my birthday. And, i was born in a city famous for its pools... the joke's ready to use...

Portuguese is a poetic sounding language. Very sexy, too.

Agree❤

hmm yes D flat u right

Hahaha!!!! 😂 You literally just basically explained what I was thinking! That was pretty hilarious

Underrated 😂

It’s totally over my head. This is the equivalent of diagraming a sentence where you take a perfectly good sentence and ruin it by dissecting into its individual parts and the whole meaning is lost.

I know. Very interesting. But after playing guitar for a few years for my own amusement, and trying to learn increasingly more difficult songs, it's now only 98.3% over my head.

That's actually hilarious. That a friendly dog would go crazy Whit the most chill sublime music genre ever

@@LucaAnamaria wtf are you talking about lol???? this sounds like some incel pickup line lololol. the middle-aged dude is fantasizing about a young girl, staying around the area long enough to know she passes this exact spot every day. he's stalking her and thinking to himself "woe is me, im not fucking this sexy beach girl! she's so hot but i bet she doesn't know it! mmh, look at how her ass swings from side to side. if only this girl was MINE like and object or property. also, she's currently alone, so surely she's single!" it's cringe, and gross, and incel-y, and coomer-y

​@@ippanpedrozo1162it makes more sense in portuguese

Adam doesn't really talk about this in the video (which, fair enough, it's a music theory channel not a lyrical analysis one), but I think the really lame English translation is probably responsible for half of the Girl from Ipanema's reputation in the Anglosphere. Not only is the beauty and poeticism of the original writing gone, the meaning is **significantly** different from the original. I'll confess that, until I lived in Brazil, and learned Portuguese, and gained a new appreciation for the song, I always thought of "a Garota de Ipanema" in exactly the way that Adam describes; a kind of kitchy, cheesy 60s song with dodgy and kinda sad lyrics about a dude oggling a girl. Even after falling in love with Brazilian music, I still didn't like this song for a while, and still thought of it that way. Now that I understand it better, I no longer think of it that way. Even once I encountered the original lyrics (after learning Portuguese), it took a while for me to shake that association I think (partly because of how many really cheesy and corny interpretations there are of it in English or intrumentally I think too). I agree with you though, with the original lyrics, and played lovingly, it's quite beautiful.

I can totally see why, as a Brazilian, your association is different, because the original lyrics are quite beautiful! (That's subjective of course, and I'm a non-native speaker, but I do think it's quite beautiful). And, you're right, in Portuguese, they don't come across that way at all (i.e. not in an "oggling girls at the beach" way). Unfortunately though, the English translation is just... it's really bad... Compared to the original especially, It's really really bad. "Oh, what a beautiful thing, so full of grace" becomes "Tall and tan and young and lovely". And it carries on the same. Actually I think it gets worse... In the original, there are such poetic lines in it, things like "Ah, se ela soubesse que quando ela passa o mundo inteirinho se enche de graça e fica mais lindo" (Oh, if she only knew that when she passes the whole world fills up with her gracefulness) and "O seu balançado é mais que um poema" ("Her gait/rhythm/swing is more than a poem", or to put it more naturally for English speakers, he's saying something like "the rhythm of her every movement has more poetry to it than poetry itself", it's absolutely adoring). All the things like like that, they are all completely missing -- the translation is just butchered and turned into kitsch basically. Morães's original lyrics are (unsurprisingly, Morães being a talented poet) very poetic and beautiful. Pretty much all that's left of these poetic descriptions of her being filled with grace, with a walk that's more rhythmic than a poem, with a presence that brightens the entire world wherever she goes, etc. is... "Tall and tan and young and lovely". Wow, how nice, what a compliment, lmao. ----- edit: To explain it, if I were to re-translate the English lyrics into Portuguese, it's something like: Alta, e bronzeada, e jovem, e bonita A garota de Ipanema anda E quando ela passa Cada um que ela passa fala "ahhh" Quando ela caminha, é como um samba que balança tão frescamente* e tão suavemente Que quando ela passa Cada um que ela passa diga "ahhh" Ai, mas eu observo ela tão tristemente Como é que eu posso dizer a ela que eu a amo? Eu daria meu coração pra ela com certeza! Mas a cada dia, quando ela anda para o mar Ela só olha pra frente, não para mim! Alta e bronzeada e jovem e bonita A garota de Ipanema anda E quando ela passa eu dou um sorriso pra ela Mas ela não vê Ela simplesmente não vê ela nunca me vê... my Portuguese isn't perfect and I'm sure there are some mistakes, but I think it should be plain that it's pretty different from the original… It's just a bit, idk, incelly? Objectifying? It comes across like a bunch of tourists in a bar oggling a "tall, tan, young, lovely" girl. And it just has slightly creepy and kinda racial undertones too, like oh she's so YOUNG, and she's so BROWN, oh she's like a SAMBA". It's a bit "wow what a sweet sexy little latina" in its vibe you know? Yuck. It's also framed much more to be about him than about her. In the English lyrics, the girl gets a few lines about how sexy and young she is, and then a full half of the song is all about how much our poor sad protagonist wants her, and how sad it makes him, and how she doesn't see him, and how sad that is, boo hoo. And then the song ends, on that.

The original (as I understand it) is this elegant and lovingly written meditation about how a woman who walks by and, without even knowing it, makes the whole world a more beautiful place, just by her existence and the way she holds herself. It has comparative imagery of the sun, and of the rhythm of the waves, but it barely mentions her physical features, but instead the impact her gracefulness and beauty has on everyone she passes, and how the singer knows, on some level, that her beauty is not for him, it's for everyone. And then there is a brief reflection in the middle, which basically juxtaposes the sadness of life and the loneliness of existence, against the beauty that the world also contains; while melancholic, it also has (I think) a certain undertone that these brief moments of beauty can sometimes make it all worth it. Yes, it has a moment of sadness in which the author feels alone, and feels that there is so much sadness in the world, but it doesn't dwell on that too long, and it ends with a verse that (to me anyway) seems to point to how the presence of love and beauty in the world can take us away from life's melancholy and tragedy. It's a sort of slice of introspection, from someone dealing with both the tragedy and loneliness of existence, but also how the presence of beauty and love in the world can have the power to brighten everything it touches, and how this woman somehow embodies both things at the same time; his loneliness, but his awe at the beauty that life and love have to offer. In the translation, all that is goes to like... a clumsily written song about a guy seeing a sexy brown tall girl who everyone in the bar wants to fuck, and then making it all about him, thinking "maan, I wish she would date me, she's so fucking hot, this is so unfair, why won't you see me, why won't you look at me, waaaaaa :(:(:(" hahaha. It's just... it's not at all the same lol

​@@Muzikman127 I knew that the English lyrics weren't really liked, but your explanation of the original lyrics explains why. I can't remember who translated it, but it shows the lyricism and romanticism of the Portuguese language as opposed to the pragmatism of the English language version.

@@nickrenneker_music Caetano Veloso's book "Tropical Truth" explores both ideas. He talks a lot about these night time meetings in Nara Leao's apartment (the 'Muse of Bossa Nova') as well as Joao Gilberto's singing innovations which preceded these meetings. Compare his version of Chega de Saudade in 1959 with Elizete Cardoso's in 1957 and you can see the development of this technique. The apartment jam sessions didn't come into fruition until at least the beginning of the 60s...

@@santisouk1924 João Gilberto

I have some bossa phases that I get into and out of, but that album... Chega de Saudade - João Gilberto (1959) is one of the ones that I am ALWAYS putting on. Every couple of months I feel the need to go back and listen to it. Quick story for those who don't know and please correct me if I happen to be wrong here. I believe that before that 1959 album there weren't many famous artists recording with more than 1 microphone. You would "mix" the sound by placing musicians strategically in the recording room, and the vocalist would have to stay in front, and usually push his voice forward almost opera-like. The new tech of getting 1 mic for voice and 1 mic for guitar gave people like João Gilberto the ability to experiment with lower voices, giving rise to his now very famous whispering-style of singing. Every video i've seen of him live has that very same what seems to be an AKG 414, super close to his face. In 2020 we can listen to something from 60 years ago and take these details for granted. The album is less than 25 minutes long and has around 10 songs, it goes by in a breeze... One of my favorite albums from that time period

Many of the best "pop" or non-classical musicians make music that sounds good and don't really worry about the music theory. Famously, the Beatles couldn't read sheet music when they started, and even today, Paul and Ringo aren't especially book-heavy in their approaches. All this is to say that music theory is good for some, but isn't a requirement for making good music. Make something that sounds good and people will want to listen to it. The theorists will come in afterwards to try and explain why.

@@raimarulightning in the case of Jobim, however, he was trained in composition as well as playing various musical instruments.

I agree. Bossa Nova also sounds great in dentists' waiting rooms.

Scrubert: That's true----bossa nova is real beautiful music and a genre all on its own. And I've always thought The Girl From Ipanema was a genuinely haunting but beautiful tune, just like another tune "Quiet Nights, Quiet Stars" which is also hauntingly beautiful and sad-sounding.

That's something to be expected from someone who speaks English in a country where many speak Spanish as a second or foreign language (and also as their first language). And, yes, her pronunciation is quite correct and exotic with a hint of Portuguese from the northern/northeastern part of Brazil. Once, talking to a very nice North American old lady about a text written in Spanish where Portuguese was expected, she told me I might be confused because both languages are very similar (indeed). The only surprising fact to that conversation was that I am a Brazilian Portuguese native speaker and I can really tell one language from the other. :)

thank you

I find it a bit odd how she seems to pronounce the NH in "souzinho" a bit more like a velar nasal (like the NG in English 'singing') than as a palatal nasal (the more usual realization of Portuguese NH, Spanish Ñ, French/Italian GN). Perhaps a [ŋʲ] rather than a [ɲ]. Also, perhaps there's a very short schwa diphthong at the end of her open O's /ɔ/.

AMBIGUITY

There is an old mantra with country music singers:"sadder the song, bigger the smile"

THE EXPERIENCE OF LIFE IS MADE OF A CONSTANT STREAM OF LAYERED FEELINGS SO WHY MUSIC SHOULDNT BE LIKE THIS

happiness cant exist without its counterpart. reminds me of nat king cole´s smile, which has a message of almost "rebellion" against sadness, its almost as if hes saying, smile IN SPITE of sadness.

All the explanations are really kind. But the matter can be simple: the girl forgot to express the lyrics

Most cafes and book offs (2nd hand bookstores) here in Japan play bossa nova all the time.

_pizzicato five_

Have you ever heard ''New Wave bossa nova'' from Zelda Majora's mask? And Also there is a Japanese Singer called Sayuri Kokushou, listen to '' ふり返してSomeday'' and '' 大きい猫 - big cat'', its basically bossa nova based. You can find her albuns to download in this link ''jpop80ss.blogspot.com/search/label/SAYURI%20KOKUSHO'' The first song is from 1987 BALANCE OF HEART album, and the second one is from 1989 Sakana Album. I'll definitively like these songs. Também sou br, mas escrevi em inglês pra geral entender.

That's so interesting. I know there's a decently sized Japanese population in Brazil, maybe some of them moved back to Japan and brought their Brazilian music with them.

It might be connected to Brazil's large Japanese diaspora. Largest in the world I think

I had the exact same thought!

I can't help but think of the American jazz equivalent being Herbie famously mishearing Miles telling him not to play the "butter" notes

It is a bit heavy handed (the jazz). Had I not heard this analysis, I wouldn't have understood why. Heavy handed music diminishes the listener's own experience. Gilberto's harmonies give space to the vocalist, yes, but they also give space to the listener. My own emotions emerge instead of feeling like I'm being told how to feel. It feels more like my own experience, which gives it a deeper authenticity to me, as a listener. Add Astrud's gentle voice, wow!

Reminds me a little of the critique of the impressionist artists.

And ithat angered the hell out of a lot of artists.

@@shayneoneill1506 I think that's rather interesting. It seems strange to me that artists were mad at them, since the impressionists were the ones who essentially liberated artists from the traditions of the establishment, giving artists a lot more creative freedom, and bringing respect to alternative art styles. It's what allowed for the surreal beauty of a lot of war art, in styles that would have been ridiculed thirty years earlier. Anyway, you make an interesting point.

@@CogoGaming Adam Neely previously talked about how under RU-vid's current system, he was unable to make the sorts of music education videos he wanted to, because in order to do in depth analysis of tracks, he wants people to use their ears and listen. But by using recordings, it would trigger RU-vid's algorithms and claim all his revenue, even though under copyright law he is allowed to for educational purposes.

@@MarcusWoodOfficialVideos the song may be in the public domain, but performances of it aren't necessarily. For example, Mozart is public domain, but a performance of it may be owned by whoever performed it

So then he's unable to sustain himself, but it seems he's found a way to do it!

I agree to all Ronald Filho wrote. I learned the F major version chords years ago. More recently I looked up the other version, eventually learning it from Rick Beato at: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vuEa03KJIgs.html. What I found interesting was that if I capo'd up to where the melody was at the same pitch as the F major version, and played along with that version, the result was nowhere near the train wreck I was expecting. But I still prefer Jobim's originally composition. Next job will be to switch to the Portuguese lyrics of Vinícius de Moraes.

Complexo de Vira-Lata. Cheque as fontes do Adam e verás que ele consultou uma quase infinidade de pesquisas brasileiras.

@@pedropauloguilhardi7522 eu não duvido, é bem provável que ele tenha realmente consultado todas essa fontes brasileiras. O que eu me referi especificamente foi sobre a qualidade do vídeo em si e levantando a questão é de que ninguém, na mídia brasileira tradicional ou não, trouxe tantos detalhes pra música em questão

@@ronaldccgf realmente nesse nível de pesquisa na mídia cultural daqui é miito difícil mesmo, mas nunca duvide que temos muitos pesquisando cultura de forma séria aqui no Brasil, só não tem muita divulgação científica...

@@ojuanitomarques Claro, concordo contigo. Como aluno de universidade pública, eu sei que a pesquisa de qualidade é uma realidade

Don't be so harsh on people. Not everyone in a native Brazilian speaker.

As a person who speaks both languages, the "a" is quite hard to hear, since it doesn't have its own syllable within the lyrics, and is (rather lazily, in keeping with the vocal style) squished onto the end of balanço. In fact, until I checked the lyrics just now, I wasn't really aware of it's existing at all! Obviously, it's important for singers to check the lyrics, but if that little auditory nuance can be missed in some Brazilian recordings, they can hardly be blamed for the omission, particularly if they don't speak any Portuguese.

@@philtaylor3098 it was never my intention to be harsh on non-Portuguese speakers and I'm sorry if you felt that way. It was more of a friendly tip.

@@elainealcantara8382 apparently someone was overwhelmed by the thought "I've been singing this wrong for years!" lol 😆

@@philtaylor3098 But she gave a good tip here. It changes the meaning. She wasn't harsh, she just pointed out something important! =D
