Much of the success of this style of music came from the early days of radio, when bands performed live on the air. By the 1960s it had evolved into urban samba. However, in the late 1970s there was a successful effort to revitalize the genre, through TV-sponsored nation-wide festivals in 1977 and 1978, which attracted a new, younger generation of musicians. Thanks in great part to these efforts, choro music remains strong in Brazil. More recently, choro has attracted the attention of musicians in the United States, such as Mike Marshall and Maurita Murphy Mead, who have brought this kind of music to a new audience. Most Brazilian classical composers recognize the sophistication of choro and its major importance in Brazilian instrumental music. Radamés Gnattali said it was the most sophisticated instrumental popular music in the world. Heitor Villa-Lobos defined choro as the true incarnation of Brazilian soul. Notably, both composers had some of their music inspired by choro, bringing it to the classical tradition.
According to Aquiles Rique Reis (a Brazilian singer), "Choro is classical music played with bare feet and callus on the hands"
Heather
Conan Gray Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Me in your sweater, you said it looked better
On me, than it did you, only if you knew
How much I liked you, but I watch your eyes
As she walks by
What a sight for sore eyes
Brighter than the blue sky
She's got you mesmerized
While I die
Why would you ever kiss me?
I'm not even half as pretty
You gave her your sweater
It's just polyester
But you like her better
Wish I were Heather
Watch as she stands with her holding your hand
Put your arm 'round her shoulder, now I'm getting colder
But how could I hate her? She's such an angel
But then again, kinda wish she were dead
As she walks by
What a sight for sore eyes
Brighter than a blue sky
She's got you mesmerized
While I die
Why would you ever kiss me?
I'm not even half as pretty
You gave her your sweater
It's just polyester
But you like her better
I wish I were Heather
(Oh)
Wish I were Heather
(Oh, oh)
Wish I were Heather
Why would you ever kiss me?
I'm not even half as pretty
You gave her your sweater
It's just polyester
But you like her better
Wish I were
Heather by Conan Gray is a song about unrequited love and the pain of watching someone you love being drawn to someone else. The singer remembers a specific day in December when they were wearing the sweater of the person they are in love with. The person had told the singer that the sweater looked better on them than on themselves, which made the singer feel closer to them. However, their feelings are not reciprocated, and they have to watch as the person they love is mesmerized by the beauty of another girl, Heather. The singer feels inadequate compared to Heather, who seems to have captured the attention of the person they love. They wish they were like Heather so that the person they love would love them too.
The song captures the bitterness, longing, and heartache of unrequited love. The singer is envious of Heather, but at the same time, they acknowledge her beauty and likability, making the complex feeling of jealousy even more painful. The song's melancholy melody and Gray's emotional vocals add to the song's poignant lyrics, making it a relatable and often heart-rending anthem for anyone who has been in love with someone who does not feel the same way.

I still remember third of December
The memory of 3rd December is still fresh in my mind
Me in your sweater, you said it looked better
You complimented me when I wore your sweater
On me, than it did you, only if you knew
If only you knew how much I liked you
How much I liked you, but I watch your eyes
I secretly liked you, but I saw how your eyes lit up when she walked by
As she walks by
Whenever she passes by
What a sight for sore eyes
She is a treat for the eyes even though it hurts me to see her
Brighter than the blue sky
She shines brighter than the sky
She's got you mesmerized
You are captivated by her charm
While I die
Meanwhile, I am heartbroken and dying inside
Why would you ever kiss me?
I cannot understand why you would ever kiss me
I'm not even half as pretty
I don't consider myself even half as beautiful as she is
You gave her your sweater
You have given her the sweater I wore, which means more to me than to her
It's just polyester
The sweater is nothing special, just made of a cheap material
But you like her better
You find her better than me
Watch as she stands with her holding your hand
I see her with you, holding your hand
Put your arm 'round her shoulder, now I'm getting colder
You put your arm around her and now I feel colder and rejected
But how could I hate her? She's such an angel
Although I feel heartbroken watching you two, I cannot hate her because she seems so lovely
But then again, kinda wish she were dead
But deep down, I can't help but wish she was out of the picture
(Oh) Wish I were Heather
I wish I had her beauty and charm
(Oh, oh) Wish I were Heather
I really wish I was like her

I still remember the third of December, me in your sweater
You said it looked better on me than it did you
Only if you knew how much I liked you
But I watch your eyes as she
Walks by
What a sight for sore eyes
Brighter than the blue sky
She's got you mesmerized while I die
Why would you ever kiss me?
I'm not even half as pretty
You gave her your sweater, it's just polyester
But you like her better
Wish I were Heather
Watch as she stands with her, holding your hand
Put your arm 'round her shoulder, now I'm getting colder
But how could I hate her? She's such an angel
But then again, kinda wish she were dead as she
Walks by
What a sight for sore eyes
Brighter than the blue sky
She's got you mesmerized while I die
Why would you ever kiss me?
I'm not even half as pretty
You gave her your sweater, it's just polyester
But you like her better
I wish I were Heather
I wish I were Heather
(Oh, oh)
Wish I were Heather
Why would you ever kiss me?
I'm not even half as pretty
You gave her your sweater, it's just polyester
But you like her better
Wish I were

This is so random but I feel like some people may need to hear some reasons why you should stay alive.
