The story behind

Tudo que você podia ser sounds like a sigh lingering in the air. It is one of those songs that arrive unannounced but stay. You listen to it and suddenly you are there, in the middle of a sunset on Piratininga beach, with the wind blending with the voices and instruments. It is not just a melody: it is as if time had stopped for a moment to let through that mix of tenderness and melancholy that only Milton Nascimento knows how to craft. Milton's voice floats over chords that seem to float as well, as if in no hurry to reach anywhere. And in those two minutes and fifty-seven seconds, the song tells you something without saying it: that sometimes what we could be is more important than what we are.
