about

This is a song I wrote just a few weeks before going into the studio to record my second album A New Kind of Fool.

It was one of those moments when I'd been doodling on the guitar for hours until I got annoyed that nothing was sounding good, I got up and put the guitar on it's stand, but for some reason I reached back and sat down and immediately started playing the riff that became Tudo Bem Tudo Bom.

In my mind it had a kind of Gilberto Gil 1970s feel but by the time we got into the studio it was moving to more of a groove. Domenico Lancellotti moved from percussion to drums for this song and has his idiosyncratic samba groove. I had wanted a clavinet sound for this track with the feeling of the classic 1977 Orlandivo album with Joao Donato arrangements.
Piotr 'Pedrinho' Zabrodzki found the Panda 49 organ lying in the corner of the studio and immediately started riffing some staccato clavi sounds. Suddenly the song took off.

The lyrics were a feel good anthem from before anyone but the Chinese had really heard of Covid and it seemed an appropriate message song to release for New Year of 2021.

lyrics

Tudo bem
Tudo bom
Nada de ruim

Tudo bem
Tudo bom
Nada de ruim

A vida é assim
Não briga não
Calma aí
Tá tudo bom

A vida é assim
Não briga não
Me beija com
Paixão

Tudo bem
Tudo bom
Nada de ruim

Tudo bem
Tudo bom
Nada de ruim

A vida é assim
Não briga não
Calma aí
Tá tudo bom

A vida é assim
Não briga não
Me beija com
Paixão

Tudo bem
Tudo bom
Nada de ruim

Tudo bem
Tudo bom
Nada de ruim

A vida é assim
Não briga não
Calma aí
Tá tudo bom

A vida é assim
Não briga não
Me beija com
Paixão


Tudo bem
Tudo bom
Nada de ruim

Tudo bem
Tudo bom
Nada de ruim

A vida é assim
Não briga não
Calma aí
Tá tudo bom

A vida é assim
Não briga não
Me beija com
Paixão
