The Girl From Ipanema - Stan Getz & Astrud Gilberto (1962)

Written by Tom Jobim and Vinicius de Moraes

I've wanted to cover this song for a long time, so here it is!

I recorded everything using my Studio Series SL150 Condenser USB Microphone (lead vocal, background vocals, snaps, and shakers), and recorded the bass direct. I used Logic Pro X to record and mix, then Final Cut Pro to edit the video.

Lyrics:

Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes
Each one she passes goes, aaaaaah

When she walks, she's like a samba
That swings so cool and sways so gently
That when she passes
Each one she passes goes, aaaaaah

Ooh, but he watches so sadly
How can he tell her he loves her
Yes, he would give his heart gladly
But each day, when she walks to the sea
She looks straight ahead, not at him

Tall, and tan, and young, and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes
He smiles, but she doesn't see
She just doesn't see
No, she doesn't see
She just doesn't see

[nathaliahandam]

Olha que coisa mais linda
Mais cheia de graça
É ela, menina
Que vem e que passa
Num doce balanço
A caminho do mar...

I just found this young lady and as a musician I am so happy we still see this amazing talent come to notice. The Girl from Ipanema is a classic that you can hear around the world in any language. Elise stamps it with her own unique touch. the Punctured soda can and beans. Right down to the core of Brazilian music . It has been a long time since I was this impressed with a new musician, and this lady is right at the top.

I still remember my mom singing this song softly to herself around the house when I was a kid. One of my fond memories of her that I cherish. I love your rendition, very beautiful voice and a nice, modern, jazz house take on the classic song. Thank you.

For the life of me I can't figure out why she isn't MORE famous. She's incredible.

[ErickBagley]

Some melodies just simply contain magic and you just try to be a pure channel for it to pour into and out of very lovely and true

A sensualidade da Bossa Nova na voz (e visual) da Elise é de enlouquecer até monge! Show!

I fell in love with this girl the first time I'm heard her voice. Not to be cliche but she has the voice of an angel. Let me explain, I have always gotten bad cluster migraines, meds take to long to work and I was at my wit's end. The first time I heard her voice was during an episode and the pain instantly went away. I have a playlist of her music I listen to when the migraines start up. This girl is a miracle, and I just wish she knew.

Just perfect. A song about an unobtainable beauty sung by an unobtainable beauty. It makes my heart hurt.

[jonplasterer]

Beautiful singing and a very cute and wholesome presentation.
Thanks

I've heard dozens of versions of this song in my 56 years. Some performed straight - as the writer intended. Some jazzed up and modified to the point where you can hardy recognize it. You did a wonderful job with this and managed to show your talents while respecting the song. Much admiration!

R.I.P. Astrud Gilberto Your voice and ability to stun a room will be missed.

[denisefields]

This is such a beautiful beautiful song I remember when I was much much younger my mother used to love to play this and then if I could hold her going to the record collection

[isabelaporto]

I'm from Brazil, and to be honest the original version will always be in our hearts but this English version is very beautiful

[michaelosolosax]

Very very fine rendition of that song ... like sweet old wine ... thank you for sharing your talent!

[BrewerShettles]

Beautiful Brazilian bossa nova - song and Nice vocals! Let me know when you come to NYC!!!

[nickon-on]

When I was growing up, my Grandad played quite a bit of Bossa Nova, and I always loved this song. You did a beautiful job; it takes me back.
