About this sound

A short clip of Tim Maia singing the opening line of Gostava Tanto de Você, a Brazilian soul ballad often used in nostalgic, emotional and breakup edits.

This six-second clip captures Tim Maia's warm, soulful voice delivering the opening line of his beloved ballad Gostava Tanto de Você, with the phrase Não sei porque você se foi sung slowly over a gentle, romantic arrangement. The delivery is tender and slightly wistful, with Maia's distinctive phrasing making the longing feel immediate rather than theatrical. Listeners recognise it instantly as a moment of quiet heartbreak, which is why it lands so well in edits about lost love, missing someone, or looking back at a happier time. It feels intimate, nostalgic, and unmistakably Brazilian.

Pro tip

Drop the clip just before a sad reveal, letting Maia's line finish before any text appears, and pair it with a slow zoom or faded old photo. Keep other music low so his voice stays clear, and do not loop it.
