Lyrics, melody and chords in real book format
and video of "Love song in vain"
"Love song in vain", the song that gives the name
to my third disc 100% of Bossa Nova.
But why love song in vain?
As in the descriptive chronicle of other of my musics I say that the bossa nova
is love, light, nature, peace, beauty, a way of seeing the world and also a kind
of life.
Now, all that ecstasy of life, all that love and worship the beauty of the soul,
today is on a collision path with the modern world, violent, materialistic,
cruel and insensitive (in a high percentage of situations ).
So once I have solved the album tracklist, I saw that mostly of the songs that I
had included, made a cult of love (except "Our Silent World" and "Heróis rabo de
palha").
Then I wondered if it really was worth continuing singing to love so no one in
this world listen, I wondered if that message of love turned record album really
worth it, if that manifestation of my spirit could seduce other hearts.
And as the result of that inquiry, which I consider myself about my work,
becomes the "Love of love in vain", the missing music, the title that the disc
hadn't yet.
While I wrote this song as a bossa nova classic, I confess that the lyrics
doesn't convey a cheerful message, I just want to. at least, do a simple asking
to reflection.
