Raul Seixas: Tente Outra Vez

Definitely one of my least favorite songs of all time, "Tente Outra Vez" is the kind of music that whenever it pops I simply turn it off or change the station. I understand its incredible positive message that probably might have helped a great deal of people everywhere - since it's one of Raul Seixas most well played songs of all time - but I guess that kind of echoing message of positivism doesn't sound all that great, feels corny or not so appealing to me (and I do have a negative and boring personal experience about someone singing it too). Anyway, I can't stand it. But...

The music video for it made the experience tolerable and worth seeing, as Raul appears against a background of drawing clocks and at times his face is inside some clocks. This visual representation of time, hours and minutes moving the weeks, the months and the years, as a way to indicate that seasons pass by and that despite problems or bad outcomes one musn't give up on things or life, and simply just try again. Not exactly time as a healer, but time as something to learn and evolve, to allow ourselves to try one more time as there'll be good things to come, to see, to do, a powerful force to shake the world as the man says. The combo of words and visuals were interesting, a fine form of artistry at play, even though it's one of those old clips from "Fantástico" that hardly ever were appealing. This one's good. 7/10.
