The story behind the song

"Triste" (Sad) is a bossa nova song composed by Antônio Carlos Jobim, who also wrote lyrics for it in both English and Portuguese. Jobim wrote the song in late 1966 while staying at a hotel in Los Angeles, waiting for Frank Sinatra to return from holiday so they could begin recording their album. The first recording was an instrumental version by Jobim for his 1967 album Wave. It plays like a gentle, melancholic reflection on a quiet moment of waiting.
