I just want to clarify that I am not the guy in the video. His name is Brad and his content is based around music criticism and reactions and I just saw this on his stream and recorded it. His channel link is in the description. If you want him to listen to the songs you suggested in the comments, he has a paid reaction stream every Tuesday and Saturday at 2PM CST on KZbin every week. If you want more information, I highly suggest waiting until he does another paid reaction stream and reading the description of the stream. There you will get all the information you will need to know. Also thank you for the views it’s great reading all of your comments it makes me really happy ❤️

Some people in chat weren't a fan of the sudden loudness in the mixing but I think it's a perfect complement to the lyrics. The startling horns as the final verse of the story kicks in are a great synesthetic way to represent what's going on - a construction worker has fallen to his death and what ultimately matters is how his corpse has jumbled the traffic, the public, the Saturday. In a way, the ramp up in intensity communicates both the coldness of the moment and the actual noises you'd get in this situation, as if the cars were honking angrily at being inconvenienced by this person who's no longer being thought of as a human but as an obstacle in the middle of traffic

[@heyitsmira17]

I just now realized the parallels between this song and "The letter in a cement barrel", a short story by japanese author Hayama Yoshiki. Both talk about construction workers giving their every breath to survive at work, almost mixing their own beings with the machines they manage every day, and then once they die, they are already dehumanized, they are what they produced, what they were surrounded with, and no one at the scene will ever care for their lives because everyone is too worried with their own jobs and lives and machines. Crazy.

[@PROPAROXITONO]

​@@heyitsmira17wow, i'll look up for this, seems Very good too

[@mtg5847]

There is a interpretation that after he dies and the aggressive trumpet part begins, it is actually the worker's last breaths, as if he were losing consciousness and becoming delirious, which is why the lyrics become confusing after this part.

ANOTHA ONE

[@eduardoqueiroz63]

In addition to the arrangement being very good, this song is really a linguistic construction, the verses are Alexandrian, that is, they have twelve poetic syllables and a split in the sixth syllable. This type of long verse requires a pause, and the result is a mid-verse cadence. Another important characteristic in the rhythm of the lyrics is that all verses end with proparoxytones, words whose tonic syllable is the antepenultimate. There are seventeen proparoxytones that are interspersed in the 41 verses that make up the song. The repetition of words generates a homophony effect, in which the same sounds that are repeated cause a rhythmic unit, and also corroborate with the everyday theme, in which days go by, one after the other, with small variations. The seventeen proparoxytones form the musical foundation of the lyrics. They are nouns and adjectives that support the actions that take place in the song. These actions are the journey of the construction worker throughout his day."

[@umcaraai7943]

I always see people saying that the song is full proparoxytones, but the last section has only oxytones apart from pague, that's paroxytone (but was sung as if it was a oxytone), all the others dormir, existir, sorrir, engolir, tossir, cair, cuspir, cobrir and redimir are oxytones. The music has also 53 verses, divided in 14 stanzas, organized as: three stanzas of 4 verses; one of 5 (end of the first section); three of 4; one of 5 (end of the second section); one of 4; one of 3 (end of the thrid section) and three of 4 (end of the final section)

Another one of the many details, is that when he sings that "he [ the worker ] dies in the wrong lane, messing up the traffic", you get overwhelmed with the horns, that are to signify the impatient cars trying to get through, and not really giving a damn about his situation or maybe even being used to seeing this type of thing.

People ain't actually talking about the most important thing about this song: the cultural importance, since 1964 my country (Brazil) suferred a brutal military dictatorship and Chico was extraditaded for being too controversial, the dictatorship went until 1988 and most of the midia released before was stripped down for subliminal and political massages to don't stir up tension within the people, so you could not publish songs that had political messages, but Chico squeezed a few out like this one and Cálice and boomed on the radio, which ended getting him almost tortured

the lyrics on these are insane, the way it takes a regular tragic history of a common construction worker, and always change the narrative, but in every single one of the stories told, he always dies as a burden, as if his life doesn't matter yet, he is the one responsible for building the city they live in, the reality they enjoy that him and his family probably was never able to fully enjoy, the last part is a cry for justice, for the time this song was made, but most importantly for the life the workers had, and still have to this day, this song is insane and the more i grow as a person the more i enjoy the message and the song as whole, the mess in the mixing, the absolute colossal vibe towards the end, this song is for sure one of if not the best work to come out of our country, it ages like wine, its always better every time u listen to it and y always can take away something from the lyrics

[@radiofloyd2359]

@@mauricioandres7470 Pretty sure it's other people. The final lyrics are "may god give them recompense". The entire song is about how maligned construction workers are. The point of the lyrics, I would say, is highlighting a trope: construction workers get no help, no safety, no health, no food, no music, and they work to death, just to have people be mad they don't get to go home on time. The song also has extremely political undertones. Such as "the concession to smile/laugh" and how people are represented as birth certificates.

Some facts most non-Brazilian miss: I was elated that English speakers found the lyrics so good, but in Portuguese they are even more impressive: not only they rhyme and have same metric, but the adjectives that end the verses are all proparoxitones, which are rare in Portuguese. The adjectives are swapped, words used as interchangeable bricks in a wall, giving the verses new exquisite meanings, but that gets to the translation as well. The author, Chico Buarque, has a career of decades as a songwriter, playwright and novel author, having won the Camões prize, the most prestigious literary accolade in Portuguese language. He has literally dozens of lyrics as great as this one. The brilliant arrangement is by Rogério Duprat, who arranged many other Brazilian classics, and was one of the members of the Tropicalia movement, along Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil and the band Os Mutantes. Funny the comments comparing it to a 007 soundtrack, which of course was not an inspiration. The resemblance may be because both drink from the same sources, American movie music from the 30s and 40s, which in turn is based heavily on Gershwin, but with a much darker tone. The rhythm is pure samba, not bossa nova (which is a samba derivative).

The song addresses the loss of identity and dehumanization caused by the authoritarian regime, as well as reflects on mortality and the transience of life.

I wish he was able to truly understand the beauty of this song. The meaning of it, the non-linear narrative, the profound metaphors used, the way these metaphors are repeated in different places as the song goes by, the sudden change in the melody and lyrics to represent the climax and the people's reaction, the historical context, the structure in Alexandrine metrics, the use of proparoxytones that match the cadence of each verse, the way the proparoxytones give the idea of construction itself, the metalanguage, the homophony giving the idea of the daily routine talked about in the song...

Bora educar o seu chat Brad, são um pouco ignorantes em relação a música em geral HAHAHAHAHA. Amei o vídeo

[@kamatsutra7031]

Tá todo mundo elogiando

[@david6321]

Na real é como qualquer chat de adolescente que se acha muito esperto mas só age como manada, só concordam com tudo que o streamer fala kkkkk

[@lucasmarcal4421]

é tão triste que o Sennheiser HD600 é tão caro ao redor do mundo. Com certeza eu teria se não custasse tanto aqui no brasil. Boas audições aí para você. Essa cultura musical brasileira dos anos 50, 60 e 70 gerou obras primas. O mundo ainda vai conhecer o Brasil mais a fundo, culturalmente. Um dos problemas do Brasil é que é um país oriundo de uma população, em geral, analfabeta, e não há uma vontade geral de preservar toda a cultura como muitos países europeus fazem. Por conta disso, muitos artistas brasileiros incríveis se sentiram abandonados ou injustiçados. Nesse sentido, até o brasileiro ainda está descobrindo o Brasil

[@caiogobbi3688]

Além de comprar o Sennheiser tu teria que comprar um amplificador no mínimo. O HD 600 tem 300 ohms de potência. Um Fiio deve dá conta.

[@lucasmarcal4421]

@@caiogobbi3688 pior que tem um Fiio K5 Pro chegando. Comprei nessa Black Friday e não tava com imposto na loja oficial deles no Ali. Espero que empurre tudo o que pretendo ter

[@iagher]

O hd 600 eh fraquissimo nos graves e sub graves, ta cheio de fone melhor e mais barato.

[@danielsampar7516]

This song was written in alexandrine verses where the stressed syllable is placed on the 12th poetic syllable (the french use the 10th). The writing itself it's peak. With the orchestra it's a master piece.

[@Sthe-fw3nm]

a primeira vez q eu escutei essa musica fiquei em shock, é mt boa, tive arrepios na hora das trombetas, ainda tenho

[@cupuacu4life13]

As a brazillian, i wanna thank the mod who deleted Raiden Reynalds' fecal comment at 3:54, i growled a cheerful "YEA" through my teeth, i'm not even afraid of looking like a triggered nerd: you call me mexican, we're gonna have a problem.

[@scrambledeggs7202]

Vsfd tu ficou ofendido? Kkkkkk

[@UmPedroAi]

If Brad was completely numb and excited to hear the song for the first time, imagine the foreigners who sought to understand the history of Brazil and really understand how profound this composition is... It's bizarre how this music is one of Brazil's greatest heritages.

[@Pohtavio]

Something interesting about the music that is not noticed by non-Portuguese speakers is that all the last words of each sentence are paroxytonal (they have accents on the first syllable), so this evokes a peogresive and rhythmic agony in the music. Even when he replaces the words, they are always paroxytone ones.

[@AT-AT-AT-AT]

his song “apesar de você” is ABSOLUTELY relevant in 2023

[@SunnyRayAvery]

this song is AMAZING. i love it so much! shoutout from Brazil!

[@abzanin]

This song was ranked by Rolling Stone Brazil as the greatest Brazilian song of all time, It is a piercing social critique of Brazilian/Latin American Society and a musical and lyrical masterpiece for the Ages. And CHICO BUARQUE DE HOLLANDA deserves a Nobel in Literature. I loved it that BOB DYLAN got one, well deserved as the poet he actually is with a massive creative body of musical lyrical work + 1 poetry book. CHICO BUARQUE has the same amount of creative, original, consistent and eternal body of work that equals Dylan's, slightly more academically impeccable than Dylan (who purposefully let that go to become more of a beatnik poet, the only beatnik to ever get a Nobel prize is Dylan, some may say) while CHICO also wrote full romances, that were bestsellers and he was awarded the Literary Prize Camões, the highest prize of literature in Portuguese language. Therefore #chicobuarquenobel ;-)

[@adoteumamikasa5537]

2:32 wow didnt know DJJ KHAALED was in this one

[@beatrizspinellimilani1285]

Chico is my favorite artist ever. I wish all his songs had subtitles so people could appreciate his poetry.

[@matheusandrade2780]

Por mais que muitos nao tenham entendido, tudo o que se acontece durante a musica so traz dizer que a morte do cara atrapalhou o sabado, o trafego... chico traz a musica o quao triste e insignificante é o trabalho arduo do rapaz no pensamento da população, ele trabalhou morreu e no final atrapalhou a todos. Ninguem se quer quis saber o que aconteceu, apenas atrapalhou o dia.

[@luizidelsonbelem]

OBRIGADO MEU DEUS POR TER ME FEITO BRASILEIRO

[@JorgeNajjar]

Idem :D

[@msuranio235]

It looked like a scene from a movie, the great Brazilian art committing a catharsis, licking, chewing the victim, who, if it hurts, becomes a masochist

[@ruka1804]

Very cool seeing gringos appreciating our music. If you liked chico buarque i reccomend checking out Mc Carol she is the greatest specially the air conditioner song

[@ThePomorimDourado]

Nice touch capturing the chat. Great reaction.

[@melloirl]

puta que pariu perdi demais no DJ KAHLED

[@alu-card843]

WE DA BEST MUSIC

[@PROPAROXITONO]

I always said that if someone from another country asked me about Brazilian music, that would be the first one I would show. The lyrics, the harmony, the orchestra... it's so perfect.

[@maloyy3216]

the way he switches up the lyrics with other verses lyricas are just fire

[@davidkirk3215]

Chico Buarque é o maior e melhor compositor de todos os tempos

[@not_emerald]

Imagine falar isso não-ironicamente.

[@lz2270]

menos

[@teimosia123]

There are so many hidden messages in this music due to the historical moment that the country was living. It's impossible to describe the importance and impactful aspects, unless you are Brazilian. Chico Buarque is a genius!

[@isaquelustosa-sd2sx]

que orgulho um gringo ouvindo musicas brasileiras

[@francyflynn]

Kkkkk ele foi literalmente pago pra ouvir, é o trabalho dele 😅

[@dacueba-games]

A carinha dele kkkkk

[@rike94]

O melhor é ele ouvir Chico Buarque com Tom MacDonald em cima

[@francyflynn]

Várias camadas, igual cebola

[@jessicasimanke4445]

Very good! Please react more brazian songs..my country are great and beautyfull. Elis Regina, Belchior, Gal Costa, Milton Nascimento, Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil...

[@dsultanum]

Arrangements by Rogerio Duprat, unsung hero

[@jackmatheus]

Imagine if you knew portuguese to catch the nuance lost in translation? Also brazilian history to know how this song is richier thant only the words, mixing, and all.

[@AloysiusEmanuel-.-]

Drama de Angélica (Angelica's Drama) was released in 1965 by Alvarenga and Ranchinho, a Brazilian country music duo. The lyrics are rhymed in proparoxytones, on the fourth syllable of each verse.

[@joinha7169]

Fun fact, the final part of the song "may god pay you back", chico buarque goes back to the first song of the album, recreating the idea of cycle in the citzen life, wich is seems as just one more in many

[@johnymarinelli9308]

300 pessoas já falaram isso amigo

[@glitteryvomitt]

literal masterpiece, i grew up listening to it bcs of my mom but never realized the true meaning of it until now

[@monii_z]

Algum br faz ele ouvir Apesar de Você com a tradução em inglês pfvr

[@springdayswithyou]

this is peak brazil for me... it remindes me of my grandpa... oh to hear how he lived in that time...

[@Y2Jmarco1]

Make him listen “O Que Será - A Flor Da Pele” by Chico and Milton Nascimento (and his outstanding godly voice)

[@rafaelmezettihumbert2971]

Brazilian here. Composition wise is nothing crazy but the writing is what matters most in this guys discography. Everything is Very intentional and he always has a story to tell so the composition reflects that. Its Very unique and artistic, love It love It love it
