Bom motivo (feat. Rosalia de Souza)
Toco
Finding Harmony in Life's Contradictions
Toco's song "Bom motivo (feat. Rosalia de Souza)" is a poetic exploration of life's inherent contradictions and the search for meaning within them. The lyrics oscillate between the simplicity of everyday life and the deeper emotional currents that run beneath the surface. The repetitive use of phrases like "Têm quem sim, têm quem não" (Some do, some don't) and "Quero encontrar a solução" (I want to find the solution) highlights the universal quest for answers and the acceptance that not everything has a clear resolution.
The song delves into the idea that love and suffering are intertwined, suggesting that the pain we experience can be a source of inspiration and a reason to sing. This is encapsulated in the lines "O amor têm no sofrer, um bom motivo para cantar" (Love has in suffering, a good reason to sing). Each person's unique experiences and reasons for their actions are acknowledged, emphasizing that everyone has their own story and motivations, as seen in the line "Cada um têm seu porquê" (Everyone has their why).
The mention of various names like Mariana, Juliana, Pedro, and Ana, among others, serves to illustrate the diverse paths people take in life. Some find companionship, others remain alone, and some actions are deemed appropriate while others are not. This enumeration of names and their corresponding actions or states of being underscores the song's theme of individual differences and the myriad ways people navigate their lives. The recurring refrain "Tchuraru, thcuraru" adds a rhythmic, almost meditative quality to the song, inviting listeners to reflect on their own lives and the reasons behind their choices.
