Évtizedek óta, ez a zene egy kiemelkedő LEG a számomra...- időnként megnézem, hogy a világban kik, milyen képanyagokkal éreznek rá a lényegére. Már van pár favoritom, de ez az egyik LEG azok közül, amik együtt rezegnek a lényeggel. (Külön érdekesség, hogy éppen egy magyar ember (férfi? nő?) készítette. :) Köszönöm mindenképp, egy újabb élmény lett ez így a legek sorában.
Kedves Gabi! 1985-ben hallottam először ezt a zenét az első Pat Metheny koncerten amit megnéztem a Kongresszusi Központban! Azóta bármikor elfog ez az érzés amit ez a szám ad nekem, akár naponta mindig meghallgatom! Z
I first heard this song in Chicago as a maybe 12 or 13 year old kid. Being black and from the Hood, I'd never been introduced to anything remotely close to this. This truly blew me away as a kid. But I had an am/fm portable Tape recorder and man I seem to could never catch it from the very beginning to record it. So I had it recorded maybe 5 or 6 times right behind each other, and man it was like having an extended remix version. I'd lay in bed and listen to this and travel places in my mind that were warm, beautiful, and tranquil. Still at 54, one of Pat's die hard fans.
I first heard this when I was 21 yrs old. I"m 60 now, I still listen to it about every other week or when I just need to get away from it all. Thanks Pat.
I'm 63 years old and to this day every time I hear this one particular tune, the hair stands up on the back of my neck and my heart starts to race. That is the sign of jazz that is timeless

I had a cassette recording of this album, to play in the truck when I did pre-dawn out-of-town deliveries. The pace of this track carried me through town, until i approached I-95 north. It was like Black magic.
as more than 30 years his fan... this is his Synopsis... of his famous recognised tunes ... so familiar with this the SUM .... tracks . ... nice mixed !!!
I’ve been listening to this song for almost 4 decades and never get tired of it. I guess that’s the effect of great music and musicians. Sure pains me to know Lyle is no longer with us in person but will always be with us because of his wonderful talent 😊
She was a 19 year old Swiss Oper. I was a 26 year old Med student. She didn’t come with me. This song takes me right back to 1982 and our 6 months together , along with the heartache of a life together not lived.
This song makes me go to the ‘80s, when I was building my profesional life. Now, at 60, I longer them so much. So listen to this old man, enjoy your youth, study like there is nothing more, respect your parents, and always, always say thanks to God. Bless you.
This song is so beautiful. The samba influence gives it such a hypnotic vibe. Absolutely love the synthed-harmonica melody/solo in the first section, and it almost sounds like Stevie Wonder is playing the harmonica on it. The song elicits some strong emotions - from melancholy and yearning, to breakthrough and release. Love it so much!
My brother introduced me to this music. He was younger than me. He passed. He was a God for me. I listen to this music, it reminds me of the good living times with him. Thanks Lao !!
I am so sorry for your loss but he is with you for sure when you listen to this as music connects through the emotions and when there is a piece of music that gives you goosebumps your vibration is rising! Spirit is able to connect better when the vibes are high as they are already in high vibe, usually so low vibes repell them. The fact that he introduced this music to you is definitely what you call a gift and the energy of that gratitude for that gift is very uplifting and radiates out into the universe touching everything in it path! So you can see now how great music is more than just music as it creates a beacon (you) to amplify it! Obviously it is the same for low vibe music and that has been used in the music industry for years to influence groups of people! God bless you and keep your vibes high!
my english it's no so good but only i wanna say: i'm sorry for your loss:( and... this is my first time listening this music. sound so cool. i love tones.
@@thefairyqueen369 Marisa if you happen to read my response...my brother passed 3 yrs ago ..he was the last of my family, so I am by myself now ..He taught me so much about life even he was 5 yrs younger than me....I wish I could share with the world how marvelous he was...
I took a friend to see Pat Metheny on this tour who had never seen or heard of him before. I didn't see him for 2 days after the concert. When I finally got a hold of him I found out that the next day he had gone out and purchased all of his albums and had spent the intervening time listening to his music over and over. That really sums up the effect Pat Metheny (and Lyle Mays) has on you!!
Wow! Sagan210 sounds close to my experience. I was taken to see him for the first time back in the early 90's and I lost my mind, transformed my life. I knew who Pat Metheny was and "are you going with me?" was the first song of his I heard back in the 80's but seeing him along with Lyles Mayes, Steve Rodby, Paul Wertico, Pedro Anzar and Nana' along with an entire stage full of superstars I was hooked. Yes and like your friend bought every piece of music I could find.
Quite amazing what impact these gentlemen from the Florida School of Music have on people. They themselves would probably not say so. Perhaps they've never even thought of their own music as being "spiritual". I mean, spiritual in the sense of being trancendent, being in touch with something yonder, of reaching and invoking something deeper within the listener. But everyone that has been gripped and moved by the PM Group's music know exactly what I mean. They would perhaps not use the words I do to describe it with... because, yes I know, they do have a tendency to sound kind of pretentious and new agey, but how else can one describe such music, on the very high level it is? It doesn't really matter what words one uses, everyone who knows, knows exactly what I'm trying to say anyway: Pat Metheny group's music is on a level of its own. On my travels I've met people from all four corners of the world, who all share the same kinda special connection to PM music. I mean, I've been on far away secluded beaches in Thailand, moon hanging like a giant drop above the sea, people spinning fire pois, dancing in the night, and then someone flicks on a Pat Metheny piece and suddenly everything slows down into that meditative state. Listening to PM music is like dipping the soul in the warm vast ocean. It's cleansing and one always feel better afterwards, even if one felt really good to begin with. Though... I think it takes a person who has certain valves in her/him open, in order to grasp and appreciate PM music. If you can't hear it...... If you don't get the point, then it comes across as..... Elevator music, I once heard somebody say. One has to have the ability to see beauty, to be tender, to understand such music. And as we all know, "seeing beauty and being tender" are not really qualities most men adhere to volontarily. Pat Metheny music cures headaches, heartaches, and if it doesn't itself heal what ever it is that needs healing, it sure helps alot in the process. Everytime I listen to PM music I'm thinking.... "Yes, that is so right. Why make anything that isn't beautiful. Why play music, why do anything, if it isn't beautiful, if it doesn't fill you like this?" Because it truly does.... fill you with something that feels good in a very real and true way. So after a lot of pondering nose down in a pot full of words that easily can make their writer, or speaker, seem like some difficult bastard with low self esteem who desperately needs to come across as the intellectual he's not, it cuts down to one simple thing: It's just so damn f... beautiful. You never get tired of it.
@@cyprescrow "Everytime I listen to PM music I'm thinking.... "Yes, that is so right. Why make anything that isn't beautiful. Why play music, why do anything, if it isn't beautiful, if it doesn't fill you like this?" " Yes, this! Bang on the nail.. I was just wondering why your excellent comment had no likes, and then I realised you had only just posted it . :D Perfect.
Man -o-man -were'nt those the days though?. Pat's music contained what we thought was going to be the hope and promise for America. Things have gone kind of bat shit crazy . What really dissapoints is the deep sentimentality of his music which is so opposed to the dead -tech ,corporate culture we have right now.
In 1988, my best friend took me for an early morning drive to go to the countryside and surprised me with playing "Are you going with me?" In the car. He knew me very well and knew in advance I would be blown away by this song like he was. I was absolutely speechless and amazed as I listened to this masterpiece and PMG for the first time, as the sun was rising on the beautiful hills in the French countryside. I will never forget, and I cannot get tired of this breathtaking song.
Having studied jazz at the Master’s level at Indiana University, there is no pianist I admire more than Lyle Mays. His spontaneous melodic and harmonic composition (improvisation) is creative and sensitive at a level worth a lifetime of study. He and Pat were actually introduced to each other by my IU jazz band director, Dominic Spera. Had I known that I would have hugged Dominic and kissed him on the cheek!
Am an amateur musician, better at guitar than piano, can hardly read the notes but easily cover most songs with chords, ranging from Hotel California to Bossa Nova. But when I listen to Pat Matheny/ Lyle Mays...something magical happens, heavenly musical chemistry. I no longer listen to Pat when Lyle Mays passed away, still preferring their musical collaboration. Its what Jazz is all about, two friends "chatting" emotionally, truthfully and impulsively, sometimes in key, scales, sometimes off tangent, skewed but still binding, like all true friendships ♥️♥️
I agree. I was actually listening to last train home 1hr extended version when this song came on after it. It's like this song was meant to come my way or something...
Pat, so sorry for your loss and the rest of the ensemble, with Lyles passing. You and Lyle have given me, my family and so many of my friends and patients [I am a physical therapist in my own office] magical interludes from the ‘everyday affairs of mankind’. You have lifted many spirits in this physical world to ecstatic heights with your musical interpretations...allowing mere mortals to taste The sweet nectar of The Divinity Inspiring your Souls. The passion and Power of musical performance that You and Lyle exuded is something I have rarely experienced from any other musicians. There are No Words...and You and Lyle Lived that Truth by using voice and instrument- guitar and keyboard -as another instrument for Inspiration from The Soul to pass through you both -and your band- to entertain, Inspire and Enlighten us all... In my heart I Know Lyle is smiling within your heart turning up the lamp of Inspiration to gift you The Best of what is Yet to find Birth into this realm through your creativity and inspiration. Thank You for The Gifts of your MUSIC over the decades. I and my two sons now adults have fabulous memories of You, Lyle and The Band. Lyle...as you Rest a bit within The Heart of God’s Inspiration and Limitless Creativity...May you Bless your Friend Pat with yet to come...The sweetest of Inspirations... “I hold no dreams of fortunes vast Nor seek undying fame I do not ask when life is past That many even know my name. I may not own the skill To rise To glories top Most height Nor to win a place amongst the wise But I can keep the right. And I can live my life on Earth Contented to the end If but a few shall Know My Worth And proudly call me friend...” Towne May God continue to Bless You All... Keith Wilbert
Funny tidbit, I came up on Pat Metheny by accident. I was working at Poplar Creek amphitheatre in suburban Chicago. And to hear him live - simply amazing 🤌♥️💯‼️
This masterpiece touched my soul when the iron curtain fell down and music of freedom flooded my home country - former Sowjet Republic Georgia. One cannot describe the excitement we experienced when listening to the music of magnificent Pat Metheny and Lyle Mays. Now 30 years after my first acquaintance with Pat Metheny Group I am as thrilled as I was back then. RIP Lyle Mays.
Such a beautiful composition. I find such peace in this that I get only in deep meditation. Your story is a beautiful association with the freedom you experienced and a welcoming composition appropriately written for the occasion. Thanks for sharing. 🎸🎹🎶🎼🎵🎤🎺🎷🥁🥳🙏🏽
42 years of age now and heard this song for the first time as a teenager. This song exudes every possible emotion you can think of! What a timeless classic!
This music is sacred and can't forget the brilliant vocalist in the background!!! It's a cacophony of sound, space and time. RIP Lyle Mays. Glad to hear that Pat Maybe my is still making excellent music!!!
Oh dear, I am recognising this moment, that Lyle Mays has left this world - from earth to heaven. What a beauty he created together with Pat Metheny and all the other magic musicians. In this song deep longing, pain, lust of life is in complete harmony. He has been creating heaven for us - he is not far away. I am very thankful for all the beauty he has given into this world. Namasté
I know what I'm about to write will probably sound strange, but this is my wintertime song. My living room is dark and cold, NYC is covered in snow, I'm sitting in my favorite chair, wrapped up in my quilt. This song frees my mind to reflect on happy, peaceful times in my life...thanks, Pat.
It's a few days out from the official start of summer here in Sydney, and the air is wet with humidity. My cats are having a lazy day near my feet. I'm sitting in my chair with a nice craft beer and relaxing with this track, thinking of good times and great memories. Cheers Thomas!
Im. Not never going to get over this. song . I heard it. in (83) and i haven.t been. Able to get. over it since. Thank you pat metheny you.ve made me a fan for life.
It was probably 1981 and I was 19 making a solo nighttime drive from Kansas City to Denver. In my old Plymouth Trailduster with a cassette player. Driving through Eastern Colorado with the sun just starting to rise behind me, somehow I timed it perfectly and had this playing as I could first see the Rockies appearing on the horizon in front of me. It was in the fall and the wheat was all golden and the mountains tops were appearing purple in front of me. Every time I hear this song I get to relive the experience a little.
I've seen PMG several times and my Dad was always a fan. In his later years in declining health, he would become energized listening to this song. When I visit his resting place in my chair, I play this song as tears roll down my face. Miss you Daddy. K Hilton in ORF
I discovered Pat in 1979. The PMG "white" album blew me away and still does. And the body of work he's produced since is mind boggling. I consider him one of the greatest American composers of all time.
Went to a Metheny show in the early 80s with Tricia. Was a beautiful night of music and fun..... RIP Tricia . ....think of her always when this beautiful music fills the air
This music is beyond words!!! It takes me back to undergraduate classes in 1981. I'll be sixty year's young this month and still LOVE Pat Matheny, along with the late and brilliant Lyle Mays. I remember Lyle playing with gloves on to protect his hands. They don't make music like this anymore and what a loss!!! Thank God for my vinyl and RU-vid
R.I.P. Lyle Mays (November 27, 1953 - February 10, 2020). May you be with the beauty of the world. Poetically harmonious combination of great music with images, thanks for sharing.
I told my daughter and son-in-law the same,I love this song and I love pat metheny, this cut takes me out of my self and put somewhere floating, I’m in a trance!!!!
First time I heard this jam was back in 82' when it was released and the cool, smooth jazz radio stations were playing it regularly. Until that moment I had no clue who The Pat Metheny Group was, but have been a huge fan ever since. Seeing them perform live is otherworldly. You can make friends for life at a PMG performance.
My absolute favorite. Reminds me of my childhood that was absolutley destroyed by having a family of people who worship guns and war. But this song thanks to my Aunt gave me hope to carry on. Trust me I'm still an alcoholic because of my childhood but this song made me through alot.
Many years ago a wonderful woman I met introduced me to Pat Metheny. There's no better experience than making out with a very sexy woman while Pat Metheny is playing on the sound system. I'm 65 now and those days will be with me forever.
Through the years I've created large pieces of wall art, danced, made hours and days of love, imagined my next wall art pieces, and meditated all to his luscious emanations and creative musings. Ah, the love of it all!
i'm a TOTAL metheny /mays addict. there's not one composition that hits me wrong by these master musicians, but having said that, the master piece, SAN LORENZO which used to make me weep like a child, stills swells my heart and brings me near to tears. EVERY single time i hear it, its like the first time. its a breath taking imaginative journey full of so much warmth and texture. i could go on, but i'm welling up just writing about it. THANK YOU, pat metheny group for ur wealth of food for the soul music.
I was living in Cairo, Egypt in 83/84 when I first heard this tune on the radio. I wasn't sure who or what Pat Metheny was, or what instrument was being played and was totally blown away from I heard. Luckily I rememebered the DJ saying it was Pat Matheny Group from an album that sounded like "offland" . That summer I was in London and on a LP buying binge, went to this record store and asked about Pat Metheny and viola! he shows me Offramp....I knew I hit the jackpot! paid a hefty 6.25 pounds ( at a time when regular albums went for 3-4 pounds) & never regretted. Sadly, thanks to my poor health and corona virus, I had to cancel my trip to Singapore where he played on March 1 this year - this, I will regret for the rest of my life.
Thanks god we have all those recordings at hand!!! I've seen Pat on concert, Poland, and I think you are not loser in any way having it possible to listen to good quality recordings, records, cassettes, whatever. No loss, brother. Take care. Peace nad Love!
Not far off, it was called Offramp! I had just left school and had started my first job in London, I heard this once and it was already on my al time favourites list! Great memories hey!
Pat is easily my all-time favorite guitarist. He is incredibly creative in the color of his musicianship just cover such a broad spectrum. One very unique and gifted composer.
My co-worker (a former local jazz dj in my area back in the 80's) had this song playing the other morning while i was taking a cat nap....... All of a sudden i was knocked out and i woke up to this song still playing. Now im addicted..... Better late than never!
Me too! And it was a live version from the 80s. I remember this only because I tracked it down and played it for my father who passed 1989. Made me cry then, even more so now 30 some years later!
I first heard of Pat Metheny on New Years Eve 1980 when he opened for Al Jarreau at Symphony Space in NY. This particular song came later and is one of my favorites. Thanks for sharing this.
I am 64 years of Age and every time I listen to this beautiful song recall the walk in Melbourne to find friends the sense and this particular song. Wojciech Wojtek Wojtuś
This song along with Kool & The Gangs Summer Madness, and Freddie Hubbard's First Light are all that I need in my headphones as I walk through my neighborhood and through my mind.
Pat Methany group es la banda de Jazz mas original que escuche. Es melodicamente exquisita, ritmicamente excentrica y armonicamente maravillosa. Fueron grandes mentores de mi gusto musical. A traves de ellos salte dede the police a Bach pasando por jazz fusion y el smooth jazz. Esta musica tiene el don de recalibrar neuronas. Creo con toda certeza que el arte saca lo mejor de nosotros. Eterno Lyle, seguro perteneces ahora a un coro de musica divina.
Me recuerda que soy polvo de estrellas de la galaxia y que solo me diferencia del resto, que puedo pensar, producir, cambiar, adaptarme, morir y volver a nacer. En fin gloria.
I don't know how many times I have listened to this. It makes my soul soar above all of the toil and pain. It lifts me up and gives me a groove that enlightens me to slow and breath. I keep coming back to it to remember that lesson.
Reminds me of a gf I had in the late 90s. Julia. We were living together. And we both loved this album. I can't recall if it was mine or if it was hers. Well she eventually became the mother of my first child. Unfortunately things didn't turn out well for us. We hardly speak to each other now. And our daughter is now 19. This tune fills my head of happier days.
Pat Metheny used to get a lot of air play on the NYC jazz station I grew up listening to. It was WRVR and me and my high school friends listened to it all the time! Wow! What memories this brings back. This station was devoted to fusion jazz and as soon as the movie "Urban Cowboy" came out, the station was bought out by a country western company. What a loss!!
💓💓💓Amo Pat Metheny. Abito in Italia. Visti tutti i suoi concerti prima , purtroppo, della pandemia. Tuttavia sua discografia in Vinile e CD.Amore. insano per questo maestro.💓💓💓👍👍👍👌👌
I saw these guys 25 years ago live at the University of Memphis....I couldn’t believe all the layers of sound coming from a small group...so tight, intense and both relaxing....??? A paradox?? Always my top 10
I went to 6 of The Pat Metheny Group concerts, starting in the 80's and into the 90's, and I was always overwhelmed by the fact that in concert, they sounded exactly like their recordings. This music still gives me the chills and warms my soul.
It,s a classic brazilian music...a samba do morro... the bass plays like the big drum we call "surdo" and you can notice the tamborins, "played" here by Lile on keyboards...once was Nana Vasconcelos... Amazing... Pat swoed that samba could gain modernity and evolve...But we did not learned from him, as he learned from us.
@@egyptianminor, when this CD came out, it was Vasconcelos. I remember listening to this in '88. I became a Part Metheny fan in '84, when his music was featured in the movie Fandango.
@@egyptianminor at the time that percussionist/vocalist was Nana Vasconcelos. Band was not the same font of soul and spirit after Nana left. They were still a good band. Just lackin that holy man's vibe.
In 1989 I was in the army and away from home, after working I used to listen to music on a portable tape deck, tired and lying on the bed, but they were always the same tapes every day, the same music and it had bored me, so I asked if someone had something new to play me, a Bro told me "listen to this and imagine being a flying eagle", I put my headphones on and followed the advice, the song was "are you going .." from "Offramp" ... from that day i didn't stop flying every time i listen to pat metheny ... thank you bro, wherever you are
It's 1982, our B52s are cold soaked with a -45 degree wind chill factor, my room is warm, to help pass the time, I'm chilling out with this song playing in the background. and admiring the guitar / synthesizer solo of this genius of music. Thanks Pat, no matter the mission, your music will forever be immortal in my heart.
I first heard this song at a ballet in the 6 grade ... And can’t never forget , how happy the teacher was at the ballet . She had the most beautiful smile ...
I hosted a Jazz Program here in DC, Atlanta and Oakland, Ca. for over 45 years and it never failed that when you dropped the needle on a Pat Metheny tune the phone lines would light and you could spend the rest of your time talking with other's about the music of Pat, but this one tune always got more calls and request and thank you from listeners. Imagine what I was doing while this was playing in the control room!!! I was always along for the same ride and it's great. Thanks for letting me share and for you posting this awesome, lovely music.
Thumbs up #35. Back in the late 70s, I was the wife of the owner of an indoor roller skating rink in NYC. Every night the last skate session ended with this track. What shining times they were.
patricia russell I too have seen/ heard him in concert maybe 7 times. Sometimes I start to cry as I listen and feel his expression and gift of playing.
If more music were played like this nowadays, I am certain (and hopeful) that more of our youth would be 'touched' just as people of earlier generations were.....Music, I'm convinced, enriches cultural and societal development........enuff said!!
Bad art can be conducive to violence, and todays forgettable music is proof of that. So lucky i grew up with H.Mancini jazz and N.Wilson. feel bad for todays youth. They hv nothing to compare to.
Having followed Pat Metheny for many years, I can always get a tingle and a smile and rush, listening to his music; the collaborations with other musicians are equally stunning; Pat is a truly amazing musician. Thank you Pat!
it is not jazz which is timeless, it is our desire for life which is and this music gives us an indescribable and totally unknown hope, but a hope so strong that it pushes our feelings where they never do. went ... thank you pat ...
In the 1980s Chicago WBMX or WGCI FM Radio Play This Tune at 5:AM Saturday Night as the Last Song Before Playing Sunday Morning Gospel Music. Feel the Music.
The first Pat Metheny track I ever heard, nearly thirty-three years ago, and still as fresh as ever. Truly unique, and one of the coolest musicians around. He doesn't always hit the spot, (who does?) but when he does, he takes my heart and soul to a private and joyful place.
Heard this as a kid in the 80's and thought it was beautiful alien music...saw them in concert about 5 years ago and nearly fell out of my seat and cried my eyes out...there is no one out there to compare them too...wow:)
I have listened to AYGWM tens of thousands of times, had the "Travels" version on repeat in my studio for 4 months once. It is like an old friend, been there with me through my worst pain and greatest joys. Thank you Pat and Lyle, a couple of the greatest artists in history in any medium.
