Universo Ao Meu Redor

Marisa Monte Marisa Monte

Embracing Solitude with the Universe

Marisa Monte's song "Universo Ao Meu Redor" is a poetic exploration of solitude and the comforting presence of nature. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of early morning, when the city is enveloped in mist. This serene setting becomes a backdrop for the singer's introspective moment as she picks up her guitar to sing about new beginnings. The act of playing the guitar and singing symbolizes a personal ritual, a way to connect with oneself and the world around.

The imagery of dewdrops on the rosebush and the acknowledgment that everyone has a touch of sadness in their lives adds a layer of universality to the song. It suggests that sorrow is a common thread that binds humanity, yet it is also something that can be transcended. The presence of a bird, singing softly, becomes a metaphor for hope and companionship. This small, yet significant, detail highlights how even the simplest elements of nature can provide solace and a sense of connection.

The refrain, where the singer expresses that she no longer feels alone with the universe around her, encapsulates the song's core message. It speaks to the idea that by tuning into the natural world and its rhythms, one can find a sense of belonging and peace. Marisa Monte's gentle and evocative delivery, combined with the lyrical content, creates a soothing and reflective atmosphere, inviting listeners to find comfort in their own moments of solitude and to recognize the beauty and support that the universe offers.
