Friday Music: É isso aí.

 Seu Jorge & Ana Carolina sing a brazilian version of one of my favorite songs, Damien Rice's 'The Blowers Daughter'.

Listen to it here.

É ISSO AÍ
Lyrics by Ana Carolina

"É isso aí.
Há quem acredite em milagres
Há quem cometa maldades
Há quem não saiba dizer a verdade

É isso aí.
Um vendedor de flores
Ensinar seus filhos a escolher seus amores

Eu não sei parar de te olhar"
Coincidentally, another brazilian artist, Zélia Duncan, have also made her own version of the song, 'Então Me Diz' sung by Simone. Zélia's version will probably be a huge hit because it's in the soundtrack of the latest prime-time soap opera but I think it's inferior to Ana Carolina's because it is too faithfull to the source of inspiration - thus, much less 'original'.

And it has nothing to do with the fact I think everything Seu Jorge touches turns into cool.
