Veloso is the fifth of the seven children born to José Telles Veloso ("Seu Zezinho") and Claudionor Vianna Telles Veloso ("Dona Canô"). His younger sister Maria Bethânia, another popular and renowned artist in Brazil, preceded him to fame as a singer in the mid-1960s. He began his career around 1965 singing bossa nova and he has cited his greatest musical influences from his early period as João Gilberto and Dorival Caymmi. (João Gilberto would say later about Caetano's contribution that it added an intellectual dimension to brazilian popular music.) But with such musical collaborators Gilberto Gil, Gal Costa, Tom Zé, Chico Buarque, and Os Mutantes, and greatly influenced by the later work of The Beatles, developed tropicalismo, which fused Brazilian pop with rock and roll and avant garde art music resulting in a more international, psychedelic, and socially aware sound. Veloso's politically active stance, unapologetically leftist, earned him the enmity of Brazil's military dictatorship which ruled until 1985; his songs were frequently censored, and some were banned. Veloso was also alienated from the socialist left in Brazil becasue of his acceptance and integration of non-nationalist influences (like rock and roll) in his music. Veloso and Gilberto Gil spent several months in jail for "anti-government activity" in 1968 and eventually exiled themselves to London. Caetano Veloso's work upon his return in 1972 was often characterized by frequent appropriations not only of international styles, but of half-forgotten Brazilian folkloric styles and rhythms as well. In particular, his celebration of the Afro-Brazilian culture of Bahia can be seen as the precursor of such Afro-centric groups as Timbalada.
In the 1980s, Veloso's popularity outside Brazil grew, especially in Israel, Portugal, France and Africa. By 2004, he was one of the most respected and prolific international pop stars, with more than fifty recordings available, including songs in soundtracks of movies such as Pedro Almodovar's Hable con Ella (Talk to Her), and Frida. In 2002 Veloso published an account of his early years and the Tropicalia movement, Tropical Truth: A Story of Music and Revolution in Brazil.
His first all-English CD was A Foreign Sound (2004), which covers Nirvana's "Come as You Are" and compositions from the Great American Songbook. Five of the six songs on his third eponymous album, released in 1971, were also in English.
Be With You
Caetano Veloso Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
& that's the last I see of you
All the world's discovered my big secret
Everyone's in love with you
They're fascinated by your smile
They copy all the things you do
I wish that you & I could be together, but
Everyone's in love with you
God gives, God's wise
The way that she smiles
It should be no surprise
At work, at home
I'm introduced to so & so
But you're the one they want to know
I'm jealous & a little proud
I want to kill & kiss you too
You belong to everyone who meets you
Everyone's in love with you
God gives, God takes
Don't misunderstand I'm a satisfied man
So sweet, so strange
I guess I'll never understand the things she does to all my friends
I'm jealous & a little proud
I want to kill & kiss you too
You belong to everyone who meets you
Everyone's in love with you
Everyone's in love with you
In the song "Everyone's in Love with You," Caetano Veloso and David Byrne explore the idea of unrequited love. The song narrates a situation where the singer introduces someone they love to their friends, only to realize that everyone falls in love with that person. The lyrics suggest that the object of the singer's affection is irresistible and that everyone wants to be with them, but the singer cannot have them for themselves. The song also touches on the theme of jealousy as the singer expresses feeling jealous of their friends' attention towards the other person.
Throughout the song, the writers use religious imagery with the lines "God gives, God's wise" and "God gives, God takes." The use of these phrases suggests that the situation is out of the singer's control and that they must accept that they cannot have what they desire. The lyrics also describe the object of affection as having a captivating smile, which everyone wants to copy, emphasizing their irresistible nature.
In conclusion, "Everyone's in Love with You" is a song that explores the universal theme of unrequited love and jealousy. Its relatable lyrics and catchy tune make it a widely acclaimed song in the genre. The song is a perfect example of Byrne's and Veloso's exceptional collaboration that produced a masterpiece of a song.

You don't know me
Bet you'll never get to know me
You don't know me at all
Feel so lonely
The world is spinning round slowly
There's nothing you can show me
From behind the wall
Show me from behind the wall
Show me from behind the wall
Show me from behind the wall
Nasci lá na Bahia de mucama com feitor
O meu pai dormia em cama, minha mãe no pisador
Laia ladaia sabadana Ave Maria
Eu, você, nós dois
Já temos um passado meu amor
Um violão guardava aquela flor
E outras mumunhas mais
Eu agradeço ao povo brasileiro
Norte, centro, sul inteiro
Onde reinou o baião

Samuel Araújo, você parte de um pressuposto - se é novo, é bom.
E foi a isso que me referi, contestei, etc..
Mesmo que você acessasse meu canal, não iria ver tudo, pois, na configuração que fiz, o YouTube não libera mais do que 12 playlists expostas. Tenho mais de 40 playlists com músicas de 'última safra'; vanguarda paulista, a música de Minas, Rio, norte, nordeste, etc..
Não vou polemizar, entrar em detalhes, etc., mas a produção de hoje não se compara aos tempos mais orgânicos da MPB.
Hoje há mais estúdios/tecnologias e acesso a várias formas de se produzir música, mas o resultado final - melodias e letras/literatura, está bem a quem do que já tivemos.
A galera mais compra equipamentos (áudio) do que busca conhecer seus próprios instrumentos (musicais).
ESTA É A MINHA OPINIÃO!
Ah, e eu sou um conservador? Não diga ...
Vejo que você desconhece o termo.
@avisoaosnavegantes2021
@Samuel Araújo, gente da sua idade - que faça boa música, eu não conheço muito, fato.
Aliás, o tempo em que artistas gravam/editam suas músicas não tem muito a ver com idade, a idade de quem as traz.
Acompanho bem de perto o que está sendo produzido e tocado pela última geração de artistas, etc..
Como eu disse antes, você acessou apenas algumas das mais de 40 playlists em que registro/guardo o que acho prestar.
Reafirmo - há pouquíssima gente fazendo boas melodias e letras minimamente razoáveis.
Se você sabe de alguém, indique-me! Ora!
Conservadorismo de esquerda: Existe isso?
Bom, inda acho que você não conhece as acepções mais comuns do termo. Deve estar apoiado apenas no que pensa sobre ele.
Obs.: É claro que não sou conservador, e nem um alienadão deslumbrado, pois passei dessa feliz idade, etc..
