Music for today's warm sunny weather

For today's beautiful warm weather - very unusual for early January in the northeast U.S. - here's a little music from Brazil, by Caetano Veloso.

Veloso wrote this song while in an underground prison, jailed for political reasons in Brazil. He was in his cell, and saw a magazine photo of the earth ('Terra'), taken from outer space. From his underground cell, his imagination soared outside, and he wrote this love song to earth.

A rough translation of the first stanza of the song might be as follows -

When I found myself in prison, in a jail's cell,
That was when I first saw these photos
Where you are showed as a whole,
tough there, you weren't nude,
But yes covered with clouds.

Earth, Earth,
Even for the furthest,
The most erratic traveler
Who would ever forget about you?

As the song proceeds, the audience starts to sing along, in tender hushed voices, as if this were a communal prayer -- perhaps it is.

p.s. I originally linked to a 'youtube' clip, but it has disappeared, so instead I've linked to a great concert of his on the NPR music website. Enjoy.
