This piece, "Wave", is a favorite not just because it has Bossa Nova rhythm (every other measure is syncopated), but also because it's a reminder of the Bible verse in Matthew 18:20, "For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them". It is also known as "Vou Te Contar" in Portuguese and was recorded as an instrumental in 1967. Jobim also wrote the lyrics himself.
