  • Answer:

    'How Insensitive' by Jobim, done by Stan Getz. Or, since you like Corcavado, Astrude Gilberto. Either version is great. http://www.last.fm/music/Astrud+Gilberto/_/How+Insensitive (click play in the box in the upper right hand corner) Lyrics: How insensitive I must have seemed When he told me that he loved me How unmoved and cold I must have seemed When he told me so sincerely Why he must have asked Did I just turn and stare in icy silence What was I to say What can you say When a love affair is over Now he's gone away And I'm alone With a memory of his last look Vague and drawn and sad I see it still All his heartbreak in his last look Why, he must have asked, Could I just turn and stare in icy silence What was I to do What can one do When a love affair is over

A good song for you would probably be "Days of Wine and Roses". It's from a 1966 movie of the same name, and is by Johnny Mercer and Henry Mancini. The days of wine and roses laugh and run away, like a child at play, through the meadowland toward a closing door, a door marked "Nevermore" that wasn't there before. The lonely night discloses just a passing breeze, filled with memories, of the golden smile that introduced me to the days of wine and roses and you. (repeat) Other good songs: The Girl from Ipanema, Autumn Leaves

Carlos Santana's "Eurpopa" was beautifully done on sax by Gato Barbieri. A very slow and emotional song.
