Yes, it’s another song in the language of Portuguese, but this is actually a Portuguese artist, not a Brazilian one. Desfado, performed by Ana Moura, is a happy sounding song that’s really about sadness.
The dB’s have always been underappreciated. They had some great songs in the 1980s but never became that well known. One of those songs is “Amplifier”.
I somehow missed this song in 1988. It wasn’t until the 2010 Keith Richards remaster of “Take It So Hard” was in the wild before I really caught it.
So the song Holding on to Yesterday might be just your regular old soft rock LA production music from the 1970s, but Ambrosia does a great performance of it.
