Média Boa
Felipe e Rodrigo
Embracing the Charm of Being Average
Felipe e Rodrigo's song 'Média Boa' is a delightful celebration of the average, everyday person. The lyrics paint a picture of a man who is neither a heartthrob nor a slouch, but someone who is comfortable in his own skin. He acknowledges that he isn't a perfect specimen with a chiseled body or a glamorous lifestyle. Instead, he enjoys simple pleasures like cold beer and takes pride in being well-groomed and presentable. This self-awareness and acceptance are refreshing, as he confidently states that he is 'na média, numa média boa'—in the middle, in a good middle.
The song cleverly uses humor and relatable scenarios to convey its message. The protagonist isn't burdened by the pressures of extreme wealth or the struggles of poverty. He doesn't have a crazy ex causing drama, and he isn't so attractive that it becomes a problem. This balance is portrayed as a positive trait, making him a reliable and low-maintenance partner. The repeated refrain emphasizes this point, reinforcing the idea that being average is not only acceptable but also desirable.
'Média Boa' resonates with many people who find themselves in the middle of the spectrum in various aspects of life. It challenges the societal obsession with perfection and extremes, promoting a more realistic and attainable standard of self-worth. The song's light-hearted tone and catchy melody make it an anthem for those who embrace their imperfections and find contentment in being 'good enough.' Felipe e Rodrigo's musical style, which blends traditional Brazilian sounds with contemporary influences, adds to the song's charm and relatability.
