The title song from the 1985 British film directed by Terry Gilliam and written by Gilliam, Charles McKeown and Tom Stoppard. Ary Barroso’s 1939 song ‘Aquarela Do Brasil’ (‘Watercolor Of Brazil’, often simply ‘Brazil’) in a version specifically performed by Geoff Muldaur is the leitmotif of the movie, although other background music is also used.

Michael Kamen, who scored the film, originally recorded ‘Brazil’ with vocals by Kate Bush. This recording was not included in the actual film or the original soundtrack release; however, it has been subsequently released on re-pressings of the soundtrack.

Geoff and then-wife, Maria Muldaur recorded their first album, “Pottery Pie,” on Warner Bros. Records in 1969. After recording “Pottery Pie,” the Muldaurs moved to the burgeoning folk, blues and folk-rock in Woodstock, New York. They separated in 1972, shortly after Geoff joined Paul Butterfield’s Better Days group.

This song was also featured in the opening of Project Brazil, the original build of the Fallout New California mod.

Brazil
When hearts were entertained in June
We stood beneath an amber moon
And softly whispered ‘some day soon’

We kissed and clung together
Then
Tomorrow was another day
The morning found me miles away
With still a million things to say

Now
When twilight beams the skies above
Recalling thrills of our love
There’s one thing I’m certain of

Return I will
To old Brazil
