‘Pé de Cedro’ is a light-hearted Brazilian Bossa-nova song about longing for a love that’s stuck in the past. The song opens with the catchy melody of a ukulele, setting an uplifting and nostalgic atmosphere, as the singer starts to reminisce about the distant past when two people were so deeply in love with each other. The gentle rhythm takes us through the singers’ bittersweet journey of reminiscing between the happy and painful memories of a time gone by.
The lyrics represent the longing for a past love with ambitious hopes of once again reconnecting with someone that was so dear and meaningful. The singer talks of how cedar trees, whose wood is renowned for its strength and stability, foretells the future and how it is the firm foundation of their relationship.
The song’s intoxicating mix of summery Bossa-nova and tender feelings of longing for a past love, ultimately sheds light on the importance of holding on to one another, in spite of the distance and time that can separate us. ‘Pé de Cedro’ is a hopeful reminder that, even after a long time has past, love can still be rekindled if two people are open to it.
