When I was 22, I was listening to this song, again and again without a particular emotion.. Good vibrations, no more... Beautiful of course... Today, as I am 49, I can cry ... at last
due geni assoluti, due miti viventi...gente che ha l'anima visibile, che si palesa nella musica..solo così si può capire come si possa fare della musica simile..che tocca l'insondabile dentro di noi...grazie Pat, Grazie Toots..grazie per tutta la vita...
Secret story is one of Pat’s most diverse and worldly albums (and one my favorite of his in addition to letter from home) . His guests including Toots and London Symphony brings out the multi layer depth of emotion he delivers within his writing. I think Pat said he wrote this for his parents.
una larga caminata en un atardecer soleado, donde vamos dejando que el sol se vaya escondiendo de a poco, entre las montañas, tiñendo de un rojo pálido todo el paisaje, dando paso a una noche estrellada que se hace esperar, y que culmina con la armónica de Toots Thielemans, invitándonos a la tranquilidad; todo eso me transmite esta hermosa canción
I've been in love with this muse-gician ever since I heard him in Vancouver hmmm 80's... he stole my heart and took my breath away... nothing has changed. Thank the angels and his Momma for him gracing this realm..
I saw Pat Metheny in Seattle on the tour following the release of Secret Story. Every song was played perfectly, with the edge that a live nine man group brings to a venue. One of the great musicians of our time, without question.
Thank you Loraine, As I am a lover of fine music and heard Toots's talents from Pat Metheny and hs collaboration with Toots Thielemans and his harmonica, I never knew who he was until his passing. I am touched by his music and thank you for making a post too. I hear the music and my heart sings, All the best. Michael
I had the privilege of seeing Toots at the Blue nite in New York in 2000. What a show. He reduced me to tears as the 78 year old man at the time created this magnificent music with his quartet. RIP dear Toots. You made a memorable contribution to our world.
wow, that is an emotional heart string pulling experience. This song reminds me of a rainy train trip I took through Cambodia. I had this recording (Secret Story) on an MP3 player and listened to it passing the ancient beautiful sad country. Now when i hear a song from that album I'm transported.
Waterworks every time, geez?! Man, that Toots!? It's this element of bittersweetness that Pat (& Lyle) did so well and is what always drew me to Pat & Co.. Secret Story is such a wonderful album
ho tutta la discografia di pat e sono più di trenta anni che lo ascolto,e questo pezzo ogni volta che lo sento mi manda in lacrime per la sua bellezza.grandissimo pat e immenso toots per il suono della sua armonica.
So balsamic and beautiful!!!!!!!....... This is harmony! This is Music of the Spheres, to me!!! So blessed I feel by this wondrous music, truly, Reti. Warm hugs from Mexico! Minerva.
I recommend giving a listen to a Choir called Vocal Line's version of Always and forever, for another perspective on the beauty of Pat Metheny's composition, You'll appreciate it even more hearing their treatment, and enjoy the lyrics and harmonies in an acapella performance.
Pat does these ballads so well. This one is very similar, I think, to "If I Could", which for some reason always made me think of and miss my daughter, when she was living in the UK.
In another league ....peerless visionary explorative in his progressions consummate in every department ......the like we will never see again .....from bright sized life to now.......nothing comes close . At 70 I have witnessed the magical moments he has given to us across Europe. .... the tingle feeling always there .....long may be be with us
Este Tema é transcendente, passa o limite de mim, dos meus sentimentos e envolve-me numa penumbra de mistério delicioso. Talvez num lugar com a Amada, sem palavras e o Mar em frente, talvez só nós...
