I have recorded a few versions of this song including vocal and solo guitar. This is the original recorded more than 20 years ago. I still play this song on gigs (when there are gigs.)
 
This is the truest to the original influence which is obviously Antonio Carlos Jobim. I tried to stay true to the very early 1960’s Bossa records and even attempted to duplicate the very sparse but atmospheric string arrangements by the late great Claus Ogerman. Of course, as usual, I do this in my own way.
 
Stay well.
