How to play Je te laisserai des mots (Tutorial by Patrick Watson)

[@denalihedgehog]

I love how he casually switches between the normal speaking voice and the magical singing voice

[@QurisEdJohn]

Transcribed this by ear a year ago and it's become one of my favorite songs. It's super rare and so amazing to see the songwriter help people learn their pieces.

[@TristanWilliamsonMusic]

I was just thinking that.. Isn't it amazing to have a song breakdown from the artist themselves? It's just wonderful and has made me fall in love with him and his music even more..

[@ThePROFESS10NAL]

@@TristanWilliamsonMusic yeah watching the lesson he seems pretty cool. Makes me like the music more!

[@celinu]

What's your all-time favourite one if I may ask? I've had this on repeat for the past 3 days, at this point I don't know if anything can top this piece

[@johntrobee6137]

That's where I'm at with it. This is under thought provoking in my playlist but here are some songs that are different but are profound if you are interested. All are songs with no words. the middle of the world-Moonlight Into the Fray-The Grey Looking into the past-Benn Jordan I spoke to the devil in Miami-instrumental-xxxtenacion. These are my repeat never get old sounds that bring me to the moment in a beautiful way.

[@johntrobee6137]

Been 2 weeks for me and I don't know French but I have a thing for learning beauty like this. This is a challenge but I'm learning a lot. It's when learning becomes so much fun you can't fail.

[@jessicadiaz8075]

[@Yemaya537]

As a pianist who has not touched a piano in years - this just made me wanna sit down and play this! Love!!!!!!

[@4amstorm]

He is so sweet the way he teaches piano, I wanna cry. 😭😂 And even putting the lyrics up! French is ridiculously hard for me to pronounce/learn and the way you pronounced it was very helpful. But mostly, I just love the way you carry yourself and how welcoming you are for novice piano players. You seem very kind and patient and I love that in everybody, thank you! ♥

[@sarabarbeau3241]

Jamais trop tard pour apprendre que "embrasse-moi" , c’est ramasse-moi. J’aime encore davantage la chanson. Merci et bien hâte de vous voir à Cowansville en juin.

[@avylio]

ive been absolutely in love with this song since i first discovered it in 2017 and it makes me so happy how much recognition it gets these days! ive learned another synthesia version in the past but now i’m gonna learn this one as well! much love🧡

[@atrocity7254]

What other songs do you like as much as this one? I want to find other masterpieces like this

[@KourttneyL]

Because of tiktok

[@im_back_from_wc]

Lmaooooo I watched the tutorial for ten minutes before even notice it was Patrick Watson himself teaching me his own song ! 😂😂😅

[@carloedward6087]

I cannot explain it, but this song takes me to a peaceful place. But not just peaceful, a place where everything get forgotten - not lost, forgotten. I am at peace when I hear this. Thank you so much for releasing this masterpiece !

[@MissGenXr]

I learned to play the piano when I was a little girl. Same with Spanish. Here I am, age 57 and didn't keep either up. Getting old is a trap ... and learning new things is hard. However, thank you for this simple tutorial. You are a humble and gracious man. Thank you for sharing.

[@sortof3337]

Piano is a terribly melancholic instrument to play. I make myself cry everytime I play. Especially with Arcade fire or this.

[@BonnieBland]

A tutorial from the artist?! And it's one of the best I've ever seen?! Wow, I feel honored to have found this. Thank you for sharing and for creating this beautiful song. ❤

[@hannie5085]

He has such a phenominal voice, it’s like the most perfect mix of raspy, angelic, and somehow nostalgic. It feels like being teleported to another world. And the piano of this song is insanely beautiful. One of my absolute favorite songs of all time.

[@elektryk1576]

When you are looking for a piano tutorial of a song you like, and you find one created by its composer. Incredible

[@miriampamelagutierrezhancc3297]

This song is part of the love story between my husband and I, thanks for making it ♡♡♡

[@razanreads]

I'm not a pianist, I've never played it in my life but I'm here enjoying this cuz I'm obsessed and curious about how this masterpiece was created thank you Patrick you are a legend

[@rawmanthefabulous6116]

THE LEGEND HAS RETURNED Seriously though you're truly a gem thank you for this

[@scottnoideagaming]

Hi Patrick, I had piano lessons for many years when I was a little boy, then my parents split up, I stopped playing. Fast forward 20 years, I came across your song on KZbin music,” Je Te leisserai des mots” I have used it on one of my short videos, it has blown me away. Your song has changed my life, I am back learning the piano, And prey one day, I will be good enough to play your beautiful song. Thank you for sharing it with us 💙

[@YTSH0RTMEME3]

Dude...your voice is beautiful

[@Not.Amara.]

I’m 10 years old and I learned the song by myself and you helped me part of it

[@CiaraGan]

THANK YOU SO MUCH I LOVE THIS SONG WITH ALL MY HEART 🥺😭

[@jimena5474]

beautiful songs patrick. thanks for giving us a break of this world with them

[@valindorfern]

this man is an absolute angel, wow. and to me, nothing feels righter than learning to play a song by the very person who wrote it. this may be my favourite song of all time, it's so beautiful. and now, i am on my way to being able to play it ♡

[@keilau.4061]

You don’t realize how much your work has helped me in a dark place. Thank you so much for being you. Thank you for helping people like me express through your music.

[@scottycaplan8122]

It' crazy because I am not a piano player, not a musician at all but I was very curious to see this tutorial. Je te laisserai des mots is one of my favorite songs: it makes me feel very emotional like every one of us here, I guess. I am french and the fact that some of the words are not very clear to me, makes this song even more touching and powerful, in fact. Your accent make it more vulnarable and charming. And of course, I thought you said "Embrasse-moi quand tu voudras" ! Having the translation is great: it is like descovering a new treasure ! Thanks Patrick !

[@dzisonline]

I just learned of this song a month ago and tried to share it with people I know. Apparently, absolutely everyone has heard of it for years.

[@PostWhatever1111]

Thank you , you don’t know how much your life and just this video has done for me , appreciate you 👏👏👏👏

Ça fait 10 ans que j'aime cette chanson et je viens d'apprendre que ça ne dit pas "embrasse moi" haha. J'ai adoré te voir a trois rivières♥️

[@yehgaby]

Recently, I’ve been wanting to learn how to play this on the piano because it has quickly become one of my favorite songs, and this video couldn’t have come at a better time. Thank you so much for this, words themselves cannot convey the gratitude I feel for this tutorial. 💜😊

[@Fabi1701A]

I am watching these shorts videos of a guy drawing random people in the subway of NY city (Devon Rodriguez art ) Finally today I Shazamed the background song playing in Devon ‘s videos. Annnd here you are, Mr Watson, making my day…. I don’t play piano, I have a guitar though….

Με αυτό το κομμάτι πραγματικά σε αγάπησα ρε φίλε!!!!

[@WildStarvingWolf]

I love you Patrick! I adore this piece, but I also really love "Dream for dreaming", " strange rain", " drive", "just another ordinary day", "fall", "drifters", "luscious life", "know that you know", " good morning mr. Wolf", "machinery of the heavens", " lighthouse", " quiet crowd", "Morning sheets", " the things you do", "noisy sunday", " swimming pools", "wooden arms", " weight of the world", "hommage", " down at the beach", "man like you", " in circles", "better in the shade", " la, la, la, la, la", "stay", Please make more music! Greetings from Mexico!

[@alex.2929]

i think i would love to have this guy as a teacher. I'm in college, taking a non music major piano class. It sees everything through the eyes of classical teaching and the professor while nice, i think struggles to get me to learn in her class. I first learned music playing cello and saxophone, but have little memory of it. I mostly learned music myself, a self taught guitarist. I learn through tab and doing and seeing and learning patterns, and as i went, through a songwriting vision. I went into the piano class because i had been teaching myself hard pieces, and wanted to play more. The class I would not say has deterred me, however, I find a lot more joy in teaching myself and learning the notes by playing. Piano is all there for you, laid out in a row. My favorite thing about the class i took was that we learned major and minor and what notes are in each. That's the only thing i've cared about, that and to some extent reading music. Dunno, no reason I wanted to comment. It felt appropriate. Thanks for the lesson Patrick.

[@Angel_-oe1zr]

I still remeber when I found this song, I was just done with a spine surgery amd was bedridden. I have never had a favourite singer or musician my whole life. He's my first, and the song that caught me was this song. Then slowly I dug in deeper and listened to his other songs. "Drive" is one of my favs too. Thank you so much for this tutorial. I tried it and it worked well. I feel so happy 😁
