Patrick Watson - Melody Noir (Official Video) 

jzoom45 Finland loves him, at least some people here🐰

It's almost a point of anguish to me that no one I know can feel the emotional beauty that I get from his music. Ever since Close to Paradise I've been asking the same thing - how is this artist not recognised worldwide? But of course, tastes differ and all that. It's just hard to sit with so much passion and not be able to share it fully with people you know :/ hence I find myself now replying to a random comment... but it does lessen my anguish a little bit to know I'm not the only one who adores him :)

Beautifully said.

Don't worry. From what I know, he has a beautiful career, acclaimed and touring almost everywhere in the world. This is truly a great artist. Cheers, from Montreal, Canada.

one of my most personal favorites, together with Thomas Feiner. Too Bad Many people don't know these two

como es la vida quien lo merece no lo tiene

Estaba buscando éste comentario!, yo había escuchado el cover que hizo Natalia Lafourcade y la canción es preciosa

WOOOOOOOOOOW soy fan de ambas canciones desde hace mucho tiempo y no lo había notado! GRACIAS!!!

Pensé exactamente lo mismo, me llegó la voz de simón a la mente

There's also a cover from Caetano Veloso and Gilberto Gil

ScreamingDeaf lucky

Susana Vera well I know you’re joking right there

Susana Vera I’m a female but okay...

Susana Vera ok.

That's so beautifully written. it gave me chills, you're very lucky

It is also your merit (or luck) that you, being just a child, were open to this music. Many children do not get into the music that adults are trying to discover for them. But you had a hole the size of musical touch that fits in Patrick's arms as much.

Reminds me a little of Nick Drake although no one compares to the latter really- a genius gone too soon.

I never hear such shit before... except from drake and lil Wayne ,they should meet each other .

The original is even more special 🖤

@@pedroj.martia.3054 Gracias! I just heard the song today on Spotify, but I knew I'd heard the incredible melody before. Watson does a great job in his version. What a melody.

“This song was inspired by an incredible singer from Venezuela, Simon Diaz. I was so inspired by his music I had to write a tune,” explains Watson. “It’s a love song dedicated to the hole inside of you.” The video was shot in Montreal and was “inspired by an amazing film called ‘I am Cuba’,” adds Watson. “I wanted to make a sensual but surreal dance video, where the main character slowly gets eaten by a void, embodied by the other dancers. The dancers are a wonderful Colombian dance troupe who bring a mix of classical and modern elements to the piece. I hope you enjoy.”

@@julianimation1785 The joropo is a traditional dance of both Venezuela and Colombia, with sub-regional types, covering almost the entire Venezuelan territory and at least a quarter of the Colombian territory. Perhaps Patrick was inspired by the Colombian dance, but this is strange, considering that Simón Díaz's llanera music was always an ode to the Venezuelan dance of his own country. Although there is always discussion about who owns this beautiful dance, it is actually a heritage of both countries, hurray for that.

AJÁ! I KNEW I WASN'T THE ONLY ONE

camila aparicio He actually did give credit to Simón Díaz on his twitter and Bettsimar Díaz (Simon's daughter) liked. Because I actually was worried at first. But this is actually an homage to Tio Simón❤ Patrick said it is one of the most beautiful melodies he has heard in his life :)

Wow. it is so great to know this. Thanks. c:

@@camilaaparicio5350 he mentioned as a direct influence

Cuando lo escuche dije... nooo este ritmo, es americano, y me suena demasiado familiar, lo debe haber robado el cantante, pero bueno con lo que dices (que dió credito) me quedo tranquila y me parece lindo trabajo el que hizo patrick👍🏻

yeah I listened the similarities in the melody right away. Check tonada de la luna llena, if it was not a direct inspiration I would be surprised (of course here the chorus and many other things are different so I am not suggestin plagiarism or anything).

Neither me...

Lo mismo pensé! :)

OMG! Tengo días escuchando está canción pensando en que me recuerda a tonada de luna llena!

I need more of him in Spanish

You pretty much nailed it! That's impressive to me, since I have a lot of trouble hearing what he sings... Maybe because English isn't my native language. But anyway, Mr Watson actually posted the lyrics on his facebook page on July 18. I'll paste the whole thing here: Tell me where the wind is blowing cause that’s where the music’s going You are my big dark blue and I want to swim all around you You are the sweetest melody I never sung I feel like I know you but you’re just a ghost to me And when I sit beside your shadow somehow it comforts me You are the sweetest melody I never sung You are the island of love my remedy to rescue me You are a breeze of a song that carries me You are the sweetest melody I never sung I’ve got a hole the size of your touch that fits in your arms this much And when I try to fill it up the hole gets bigger every time You are the sweetest melody I never sung You are my island of love my remedy to rescue me You are a breeze of a song that carries me You are the sweetest melody I never sung Canta canta mi luna mi luna llena Esta melodia es el abismo adentro de mi El abismo adentro de mi Mi luna mi luna llena

Bjørn Andreasen Thanks for posting :)

Canta, canta mi Luna mi Luna llena. Esta melodia que es el abismo dentro de mi. El abismo dentro de mi. Mi Luna mi Luna llena.

Luna Tic's edit is right
