A perfect rendition of a great jazz standard. This is a reflective melody and of course the pure rhythm of bossa nova. This is very high quality, sincere work. Thanks a lot.

"Once I Loved" ("O Amor Em Paz") is a bossa nova/jazz song written in 1960 by António Carlos Jobim with lyrics by Vinicius de Moraes. Ray Gilbert later added English lyrics.

Describing the uniqueness of the song, jazz critic Gioia writes: “The standard repertoire includes slow pieces, gentle ballads that sacrifice rhythmic drive in exchange for self-reflection. But “Once I Loved” is that rarity. The composition sounds best at a medium tempo, as if the lingering nostalgia in the lyrics must fight the forward movement of the bossa nova rhythm.”

I'd love to be able to sing and play bossa nova music, but it's hard to do because of the difficulty of playing the guitar while singing and the difficulty of Portuguese.
