Here's one of my favourite bossa nova songs, Waters of March performed by Akiko featuring Corinne Drewery from Swing Out Sister.
Some interesting background, the song was composed by the father of bossa nova, Antonio Carlos Jobim (he is da man) and it symbolizes the monsoon month of March in Brazil, when it experiences the heaviest rainfall. If you listen carefully, the song has a constant descending melody which is supposed to depict rain falling down. The lyrics albeit very simple, have an artistic meaning as they actually reflect images of everyday life.
I thought this song would fit nicely since it's the monsoon season. If you listen to this song while its raining, it has this 'happy' effect which takes all the gloominess away and lifts up the mood. I'm serious, try it out one of these days.
May this song bring some much needed sunshine.
Enjoy~
