I can feel the magic floating in the air

Being with you gets me that way

I watch the sunlight dance across your face and I've

Never been this swept away

All my thoughts just seem to settle on the breeze

When I'm lying wrapped up in your arms

The whole world just fades away

The only thing I hear

Is the beating of your heart

'Cause I can feel you breathe

It's washing over me

Suddenly I'm melting into you

There's nothing left to prove

Baby all we need is just to be

Caught up in the touch

The slow and steady rush

Baby, isn't that the way that love's supposed to be

I can feel you breathe

Just breathe

In a way I know my heart is waking up

As all the walls come tumbling down

I'm closer than I've ever felt before

And I know

And you know

There's no need for words right now

'Cause I can feel you breathe

It's washing over me

Suddenly I'm melting into you

There's nothing left to prove

Baby all we need is just to be

Caught up in the touch

The slow and steady rush

Baby, isn't that the way that love's supposed to be

I can feel you breathe

Just breathe

Caught up in the touch

The slow and steady rush

Baby, isn't that the way that love's supposed to be

I can feel you breathe

Just breathe

I can feel the magic floating in the air

Being with you gets me that way.

The album features the New York-based jazz group the Bill Charlap Trio. The album was released both as a CD containing tracks 13 & 14 exclusive to this version and an exclusive red-colored vinyl LP.

Anthony Dominick Benedetto(born August 3, 1926), known professionally as Tony Bennett, is an American singer of traditional pop standards, big band, show tunes, and jazz. He is also a painter, having created works under the name Anthony Benedetto that are on permanent public display in several institutions. He is the founder of the Frank Sinatra School of the Arts in Astoria, Queens, New York.

Born and raised in Astoria to an Italian-American family, Bennett began singing at an early age. He fought in the final stages of World War II as a U.S. Army infantryman in the European Theater. Afterward, he developed his singing technique, signed with Columbia Records and had his first number-one popular song with "Because of You" in 1951. Several top hits such as "Rags to Riches" followed in early 1953. He then refined his approach to encompass jazz singing. He reached an artistic peak in the late 1950s with albums such as The Beat of My Heart and Basie Swings, Bennett Sings. In 1962, Bennett recorded his signature song, "I Left My Heart in San Francisco". His career and personal life experienced an extended downturn during the height of the rock music era.

Bennett staged a comeback in the late 1980s and 1990s, putting out gold record albums again and expanding his reach to the MTV generation while keeping his musical style intact. He remains a popular and critically praised recording artist and concert performer in the 2010s. He has won 19 Grammy Awards (including a Lifetime Achievement Award, presented in 2001) and two Emmy Awards, and was named an NEA Jazz Master and a Kennedy Center Honoree. Bennett has sold over 50 million records worldwide.

On December 11, 2009, Billboard magazine named her the second Jazz Artist of the Decade (2000–09), establishing her as one of the best-selling artists of her time.

Krall is the only jazz singer to have had eight albums debuting at the top of the Billboard Jazz Albums. To date, she has won three Grammy Awards and eight Juno Awards. She has also earned nine gold, three platinum, and seven multi-platinum albums.]]

[Tony Bennett:]

The more I read the papers

The less I comprehend

The world and all its capers

And how it all will end

[Diana Krall:]

Nothing seems to be lasting

But that isn't our affair

[Tony Bennett:]

We've got something permanent

I mean in the way we care

It's very clear

Our love is here to stay

Not for a year

But ever and a day

The radio and the telephone

And the movies that we know

May just be passing fancies

And in time may go

But oh, my dear

Our love is here to stay

Together we're

Going a long, long way

In time the Rockies may crumble

Gibraltar may tumble

They're only made of clay

But...

Our love is here to stay

[Diana Krall:]

It's very clear

Our love is here to stay

Not for a year

But ever and a day

The radio and the telephone

And the movies that we know

May just be passing fancies

And in time may go

[Tony Bennett:]

But oh, my dear

Our love is here to stay

Together we're

Going a long, long way

[Diana Krall:]

In time the Rockies may crumble

Gibraltar may tumble

They're only made of clay

But...

[Both:]Our love is here to stay

Someday, when I'm awfully low

When the world is cold

I will feel a glow, just thinking of you

And the way you look tonight

Oh, but your lovely

With your smile so warm

And your cheeks so soft

There is nothing for me, but to love you

Just the way you look tonight

With each word your tenderness grows

Tearing my fear apart

And that laugh

That wrinkles your nose

Touches my foolish heart

Lovely, never, never change

Keep that breathless charm

Won't you please arrange it

Because I, I love you

Just the way you look tonight.

MULHERES DE ATENAS

NEY MATOGROSSO

COMPOSITORES: CHICO BUARQUE DE HOLANDA & AUGUSTO BOAL

PAÍS: BRASIL

ÁLBUM: BANDIDO(LP)

GRAVADORA: CONTINENTAL

GÊNERO: MPB

ANO: 1976

Bandido é o segundo disco solo do cantor brasileiro Ney Matogrosso, lançado em 1976.

Ney de Souza Pereira(Bela Vista, 1 de agosto de 1941), mais conhecido como Ney Matogrosso, é um cantor, compositor, dançarino, ator e diretor brasileiro. Ex-integrante dos Secos & Molhados (1973-1974), foi o artista que mais se sobressaiu do grupo após iniciar sua carreira solo com o disco Água do Céu – Pássaro (1975) e com suas apresentações subsequentes. É considerado pela revista Rolling Stone como a terceira maior voz brasileira de todos os tempos e, pela mesma revista, trigésimo primeiro maior artista brasileiro de todos os tempos. Embora tenha começado relativamente tarde, das canções poéticas e de gêneros híbridos dos Secos e Molhados ele passou a interpretar outros compositores do país, como Chico Buarque, Cartola, Rita Lee, Tom Jobim, construindo um repertório que prima pela qualidade e versatilidade. Em 1983, completava dez anos de estreia no cenário artístico e já possuía dois Discos de Platina e dois Discos de Ouro, inclusive pela enorme repercussão da canção "Homem com H" de 1981.

Como iluminador de espetáculos, tem supervisionado toda a produção da área em suas próprias apresentações e também merece destaque seu trabalho de iluminação e seleção de repertório no show Ideologia(1988) de Cazuza e no show Paratodos de Chico Buarque em 1993, ao que afirma: "quero que as luzes provoquem sensações nas pessoas". Matogrosso também tem atuado recentemente no cinema: estreou em 2008 no curta-metragem Depois de Tudo, dirigido por Rafael Saar, e no filme Luz das Trevas de 2009, dirigido por Helena Ignez.

Atribuem a sua maquiagem cênica e seu vestuário exótico desde os anos 70 uma certa mudança de conceitos sobre o comportamento masculino apropriado no Brasil. Segundo Violeta Weinschelbaum, "o magnetismo de sua figura, a atração decididamente sexual que Ney Matogrosso produz sobre o palco é algo inimaginável." A biógrafa Denise Pires Vaz também escreve: "Dos cantores brasileiros, Ney Matogrosso é um dos poucos, senão o único, que pode merecer o título de showman.

É considerado um dos intérpretes brasileiros mais importantes e produtivos no cenário artístico. Seu nome artístico Ney Matogrosso foi adotado por ele somente em 1971, quando se mudou para São Paulo.

Mirem-se no exemplo

Daquelas mulheres de Atenas

Vivem pros seus maridos

Orgulho e raça de Atenas

Quando amadas, se perfumam

Se banham com leite, se arrumam

Suas melenas

Quando fustigadas não choram

Se ajoelham, pedem imploram

Mais duras penas; cadenas

Mirem-se no exemplo

Daquelas mulheres de Atenas

Sofrem pros seus maridos

Poder e força de Atenas

Quando eles embarcam soldados

Elas tecem longos bordados

Mil quarentenas

E quando eles voltam, sedentos

Querem arrancar, violentos

Carícias plenas, obscenas

Mirem-se no exemplo

Daquelas mulheres de Atenas

Despem-se pros maridos

Bravos guerreiros de Atenas

Quando eles se entopem de vinho

Costumam buscar um carinho

De outras falenas

Mas no fim da noite, aos pedaços

Quase sempre voltam pros braços

De suas pequenas, Helenas

Mirem-se no exemplo

Daquelas mulheres de Atenas:

Geram pros seus maridos

Os novos filhos de Atenas

Elas não têm gosto ou vontade

Nem defeito, nem qualidade

Têm medo apenas

Não tem sonhos, só tem presságios

O seu homem, mares, naufrágios

Lindas sirenas, morenas

Mirem-se no exemplo

Daquelas mulheres de Atenas

Temem por seus maridos

Heróis e amantes de Atenas

As jovens viúvas marcadas

E as gestantes abandonadas

Não fazem cenas

Vestem-se de negro, se encolhem

Se conformam e se recolhem

Às suas novenas, serenas

Mirem-se no exemplo

Daquelas mulheres de Atenas

Secam por seus maridos

Orgulho e raça de Atenas.
