Someone to hold me tight
That would be very nice
Someone to love me right
That would be very nice
Someone to understand
Each little dream in me
Someone to take my hand
And be a team with me

So nice, life would be so nice
If one day I'd find
Someone who would take my hand
And samba through life with me

Someone to cling to me
Stay with me right or wrong
Someone to sing to me
Some little samba song
Someone to take my heart
And give his heart to me
Someone who's ready to
Give love a start with me

Oh yeah, that would be so nice
I could see you and me, that would be nice

I believe this is on my Ultra Chilled 02 double disc compilation which, of all the Ultra Chilled series, is quite excellent

Posted 16 years ago by Stefen    [ Reply ]
Hadn't heard her before - this is quite pleasant, though not outstanding IMO. There are some nice samples on her website for those who'd like to hear more - "Momento" would be my pick from those I listened to, anyone care to try uploading it?

All this song reminds me of is some really violent ending to a movie where this played over all the violence. I wish I could remember what it was. Or maybe I don't!

I can't help but think of Homer Simpson singing this melody - "do do do, do do do, do do do doooo do do". I don't remember the context at all, but I sure remember it.

Why does a Brazilian song have to have 'samba' or a beach name in the title to be accepted on RP? There's plenty of good Brazilian music that never reaches the world's ears because it doesn't meet the stereotypical bossa nova or samba sound. Check out Zeca Baleiro, Cássia Eller or Los Hermanos. By the way, loved the comment from 'dewinter'. I am a lucky bastard, I know.

I am willing to bet money that is not her on that album cover. I've seen other pictures of her and she has that earthy smelling,dank,curly,slightly oily hair that Carribean women of Hispanic origin have. The chic on the cover has straight,fine,limp hair- the kind that smells like fruity chemicals .

"Girl from Ipanema" -- Astrud Gilberto, aka Mom. Bebel sounds a lot like her mother, and that's not a bad thing.
Scroll down and you'll see she's the daughter of Joao's second wife. First was Astrud.

At the risk of going against the RP tide, I gotta say that this just doesn't do it for me. Sounds very shopping mall/elevator music. Now I know that I can hear U2 in the same venues, but certainly not Boy or Where the Streets have no name. I also don't trust the integrity of an artist that poses topless for her photo shoots.

It's always happy hour on RP - although, I'd have to head straight to the liquor section if I heard this being played in my local supermarket!

I kept thinking and thinking why do i know this song? Then it hit me, Fatboy Slim does a remix of it that is pretty good, and nothing like this both are pretty good.
