‘Righteous Life’ by
Sergio Mendes & Brasil ’66 is one of those special songs, one which is
guaranteed to generate a warming inner glow, with its rolling waves of thermal
bass, shimmering piano, and the drums propelling things along, while the
singers seem to share deep insights, and if the words are pleasantly elusive in
terms of meaning they have just the right feel of poetry, politics and
spirituality to suit the most reflective of moods.
