"Have Faith, for Tomorrow a Lovely Day will be Born"
It's really hard to have faith that the next sunrise will bring better times. When you're in a slump, it feels like there is no hope at times. Thats the brutal thing about being in a slump, it feeds off itself. It's kinda like digging a hole to get out of a hole. Helplessness begets more helplessness. At some point however you gotta look at the positives and have faith that at some point sunnier days will shine down on you. Unfortunately I don't have the solution for getting out of a slump or depression or whatever one might call it. But for now maybe 3 versions of an amazing Brazilian song can help cure your blues if you got 'em. If not, let these tracks keep your smile wide :) (Note: If you've never seen the sun slowly inch over the horizon in the am, its something you gotta do! It's an amazing experience. The first time i had the opportunity to see it, it slowly began to rain as the sun peaked over the horizon, BEAUTIFUL. May these songs be a great soundtrack to your new day!)
I first came across this track by Originais do Samba back a few years ago on the Gilles Peterson in Brazil compilation. The First of two volumes, these comps are great for anyone wanting to get into classic as well as contemporary Brazilan music.
This version by Celinha Reis is much more poppy. Almost has a show tune vibe to it.
I've known the original version by Originais do Samba for a while, and as soon as I heard this version by Salinas I fell in love. Where Originais have a traditional samba feel, Salinas takes a slightly more jazzy approach. The intro itself is entrancing, almost beckoning you to have faith in what's next ;) -nick
