Tudo Que Você Podia Ser

Lô Borges wrote the melody and Márcio Borges the lyrics; Milton sings lead. Lô's nylon-string guitar opens the track, with Wagner Tiso on organ, Beto Guedes on bass, Robertinho Silva on drums and Rubinho on tumbadora. The lyrics, which are more political than the music, describe a young man who resigns himself to the dictatorship and abandons his aspirations rather than resisting. Will Hodgkinson of The Times named it an album highlight and AllMusic's Alvaro Neder listed it among the best-known songs. The recording date is November 1971 for the album as a whole. We could not tell whether our upload is the 1972 original or a live version.
