Pat Metheny's music speaks not to my soul, but for it.

[@gwendolynbien-aime1536]

Amen, brother!! Beautifully said!!

[@MrEldoradot]

Amen brother. Last Train Home will be the only song at my last gathering. I hope so anyway.

[@LisaN61]

So beautifully and aptly put. My exact feelings.

[@thomasleary2814]

This must be what paradise sounds like.

[@promerops]

Of all the beautiful music Pat has given us, this is one of the very, very best - in my humble opinion.

People who are sensitive to beauty love Pat. It's modern classical music .

[@113036stat]

Have been a fan of his since 1976. His work remains touching and timeless.

[@sasapapapote]

One of the most beautiful music that i´ve heard in my life.

[@georgedonnellan36]

Listen to Pat Metheny's Secret Story. Enjoy❤

[@yvesgerard1308]

It's just perfect ... Its' just ... Pat Metheny ! One of the greatest melodists in this world ...

[@rr7firefly]

At a time of personal crisis many years ago hypnotherapy helped me overcome crippling heartbreak. My best session was taped for later replay and "If I Could" was the soundtrack behind the therapist's affirmations. This song always reminds me to push ahead to overcome any despair or darkness. Balm for the heart, light for the soul. So great to have this calming music for restoration. // Never give up.

[@suerobinson5540]

Pat Metheny saved me too..

[@howsietube]

Just absolutely the best! Thank you, Pat. Your music has been part of the core of my life for more than 40 years.

[@iamdougf]

Rare is it that a Artist can leave me with such a feeling of peace with my world. Musical joy.

[@christianduprez4462]

Merci à vous !

[@miramarensis]

Pat touches the essence of a human being with sublime efficacy. His art is ageless.

[@Aladdinthelamp]

+miramarensis Put another way his and the groups music is like the conception:: immaculate (in jest)!

[@richardsondawn12]

The first time I heard this, it brought tears to my eyes; it's so beautiful. It still does every time I hear it. Wonderful!

[@liteluvr]

That is quite possibly one of the most beautiful pieces of music I've ever heard.

[@donaldgraves9089]

Stumbled upon this beautiful tune last week. I've been playing it every day and still can't get enough of it. Thank you Patrick.❤

[@titivaleria]

Women and Pat Methenhy´s music, the perfect combination Pat´s fan

[@Turnip0739]

Pat Menthany is quickly becoming one of my favorite artists in the world, his music is so tranquil and peaceful. It's the music that plays through the calm rivers, the peace of early mornings. Those times with someon you love, where you;re just enjoying each other's company. That's what this music is. And I love every second of it.

[@dagmarschonbauer9881]

He make it happen and it makes me happy, but he can also be quite different. And I looove all his ways. The quiet are also the best for me. So I understand your intention. His musik makes happy in every way. And for me there is no more beautiful musik while the most beautiful thing in the world. I hope you understand my german-english

[@Turnip0739]

I understood enough to understand, Dagmar. Wonderful last name, btw.

[@jameskipler5390]

Das ist gut Dagmar!

[@mrrodrincho]

The most beautiful tune i ever heard. Thank you Pat....

[@jeffkitterman7191]

years ago I drove long distance to and through the hills of southwest iowa on my way to visit friends and do some hunting. slept overnight in my truck with my golden retriever jazz by a lake - listened deeply to this music. was a defining moment for me. only need to hear a portion of this wonderful music to feel it again.

[@donaldramey1896]

Your comment brought me back to riding with my dad in his old truck to bring home the Christmas tree to the family. Same truck we would go hunting in. He is long passed, and I am now 70. Thanks for the memories.

[@abdul7591]

I believe I have listened to this about 7 or 8 times in the last four or five days.. It is tonic for the soul.

[@georgebrooke8658]

agreed....... this and first circle at north shore jazz convention

[@djangobrecker8434]

+abdul7591 wouldn't go that far. laxative for the bowels maybe

[@johnboogaerdt632]

+abdul7591 As someone said on Pat's music: from time to time I listen to this and become hopeful and get healed.

[@abdul7591]

+abdul7591 Well, let's see now. I think I'm up to about 20 times that I have listened to this in the last few months.

[@keithcoleman2869]

i want to hear this sweet sound in my ears as i slip away to see all that have gone before me.

[@orangatang9962]

Wils, don't worry about it. I sit and sob over lost loved ones everytime i play this ode. so, you have to be a strongster and believe that your music will bring you home to peace and loving kindnesses. that is all there is...the music

[@terrysimpson3681]

This is what a warm and gentle women sounds like. The Angels plucking and soft shoe in the Heavens. BEAUTIFUL!

[@geneshropshire4278]

This song is a sweet ,sweet description and rendition in my mind and soul of my long ago passed father. He went through life with family and friends of the highest regard. Never lied,loyal ,simplywhat i could never quite achieve. ,",,,only if i could" I tear up every single time i hear this.

[@midnite22155]

You know....Pat's music is so good that I have to treat it with reverence...I feel that when you hear something that touches you in this way, you can't afford to listen to it everyday. That would dilute the magic of what it does to you. Thanks Pat!

[@Autos389]

I used this track for my wedding video when the videographer asked what song I wanted for the intro. And that was in 1993. Shows how long I've been listening to the Metheny Group! Long live Pat Metheny, Lyle Mays, Steve Rodby, Paul Wertico and the rest of these amazing guys!

[@artbychristine]

I looked up the definition of beautiful in the dictionary - it played this song. Thanks Pat.

[@eulasbelcher296]

This beautiful song by Pat Metheny heals my soul. It tells a story of what I am going through

[@russbaldwin1468]

This always takes me back to the home of my youth, a quiet summer afternoon, viewing the backyard and beyond from our living room, small woods, marshland and swans gliding above the South Cove. If we could select our own personal heaven, perhaps that will be my moment.

[@strawberryfields1149]

It takes me to my 15yrs self. Watching the birds in the gardens of suburban Liverpool through my parents' bedroom window. Wiping the misting from my breath away from the cold glass and enjoying their avian freedom. Similar so.

[@stevebouras641]

By far one of the best instrumental tunes of all time by a gifted guitarist ❤

[@hmeeks1]

Growing up with Pat, you just knew he was going to be special. How special I don't think anyone could have imagined, but through the years his genius, his creativity and his style have been incredible to listen to.

[@arturogbermudez]

In my humble opinion, this is the song that you have it on the replay mode and listen to it all night

[@PixC914]

There is just no end to how much Pat's music can move you. It's a God gift that he found out how to share it and display it for us.

[@miomao69]

My god, listening to this marvelous music I'd like to cry, to laugh, to think that this world is still livable...unfortunately its wrong...thanks Pat for your music

[@dr.g2628]

From the Lord's heart to Pat Metheny and now to us! Truly remarkable.

[@surgechecker18]

if ever you need to get lost in music and relax, Pat is definitely your guy.

[@mrstmith1963]

this song makes me reflect about the amazing things ive done and the people ive met in the last 9 years , thankyou for the memories

[@college388]

It's now September 4, 2017 and it's exactly 10 years since this clip was published. KZbin recommended it to me and I liked it so I gave it a thumbs up.

[@Baltimorehop]

Pure Heaven. No less. :)

[@marksoria6487]

Today I (we) awoke to the tragedy of five dead police officers in Dallas after tragedies of two citizens killed by police officers. When I put this beautiful music on and close my eyes I let the tears stream down my face and I wonder: why not this always?

[@edwinaford9187]

such a beautiful trip to heaven...I don't ever want to come down.

[@johnbyers4429]

Played in aloud, hard driving rock band in the 80's and would have a 2 or 3 hour drive home from wherever. I often played "Full Circle" for the ride and remembered coming over the hill one night to my home in the country with "If I could" as the welcome home, last song of the night. What a beautiful moment

[@louherrband4369]

Wonderful . I bought the LP record in 1986. And went to the concert in 1987, here in São Paulo, Brazil.

[@ericrenault1184]

lorsque j'ai besoin de me poser, deux artistes me conviennent : Pat metheny et un ptit bob marley cela me suffit. Parfois le bonheur est simple. La musique peut nous l'offrir. Portez-vous bien !

[@arthurenzo3075]

I enjoy looking at these women as much as I enjoy listening to the music. They fit in pretty well.

[@bandnederpop6937]

One week ago we saw this in Rotterdam. So close to where love meets music. This trio versions are so much more than everything else. Keep it going!

[@morganphenix8327]

Ray Charles. for one, does a beautiful job with the lyrics, which contain all our love, hope, and fears for our children. Celine Dion, too, a beautiful rendition. It's all about the children. If only we could... A Life Worth Living - A Story Worth Telling.

[@RaiderEleven]

Lovely Metheny music and beautiful women: a great combination. You have great taste and made some excellent choices. Thank you, ArlyCardoso!

[@1945mare]

After ALL the years of your music....THIS is still one of my very favorites!! Thank You....

[@maliksalman997]

is beyond words...simply a masterpiece. melancholic, beautiful, aswum, erotic and cd on...tx pat. u numero uno dude.

[@clfsanders7]

The Incredible Mr M.!!!! I've been caught in the magic of your music for 37 years. Thanks you for helping the world to transcend the mundane.

[@diegocharlin5502]

he is the best guitarist that ever lived

[@kriskov6597]

plus one of the best musician

[@smukmonkey4794]

I agree with all of your beautiful comments. Pat 's music expresses many of our feelings in his music, regardless of who we are and what our experiences in life are . I once thought that I was the only one that said " pat plays the background music of my life" but I guess I was wrong. There are many others that have said the same. That's how powerful his music is.

[@MDugardin]

for me it's full of souvenirs and makes me feel the entire universe in my heart and in my head, i cry the tears of my lost lives

[@teresaponziani]

Yes, I agree. Pat's music is a soundtrack of emotion, expressed with great subtlety and grace.

[@BXspecial]

had to have been 2006, major artist don't venture too much to Cincinnati, Ohio...they go to other major marketing venues. Anyway, Pat Metheny was playing at the Cincinnati, Zoo for a benefit concert, tickets were at least $75 +. Couldn't afford it with young family & all...so sat outside the zoo & heard every "NOTE!!" It wz fabulous...looked around others were outside the zoo laying on their cars, sitting on the sidewalk, on lawn chairs, standing around; what a beautiful nite for him to come to ohio.

[@oracle819]

Pat Metheny has saved me thousands on therapy through his music. I just compositions like this and the problems don't seem to matter anymore. Thanks Mr. Metheny for your talent. I have been a fan for 30 years.

[@morganphenix8327]

Wistful, days gone by. A Story Worth Telling... Beautiful music, and the words are prayers for our children. Thank you, Pat Metheny Group and Friends.

[@jimbalio]

Love the brushwork on the drums...sounds like a river running underneath the whole, too beautiful for words, thing.

[@INCO48]

Absolutamente perfecto. Saludos desde Madrid

[@corkykab]

Reminds me of how lucky we all are to be here on this mortal coil... to be able to listen to the Maestro Metheny before our time here is up... this song will forever remind me that all is right with the world.

[@emiliorobau6235]

September 15th, close to home, and this tune are incredible. I miss Lyle. No two musicians will ever produce something like what they produced. Moment in time frozen forever. Definitely the song track of my life.

[@renecarreno5380]

Pat metheny , a través de su música , me enseñó lo hermoso que es la vida y cuáles son las metas por las que hay que luchar . Nunca olvidare todos esos recuerdos hermosos junto a mis amigos y familia , gracias Pat tu música son mis recuerdos.

[@unicornbass]

Exactly my thought. Pat´s music makes me a better person and i can not imagine a world without such beauty! I wish more people would discover true beauty. No more wars, no more fighting, no more fear or greed.. just pure love and a sence of belonging.

[@b1ch0f30]

Bellissimo. Stupendo video. Pieno di bellezza. Grazie.

[@robertrich2118]

Just another amazing and emotionally important piece from Pat. He's exquisite.

[@vampiroangelico]

That's the kind of incredible inspiration and images Pat Metheny gives me! I've been a fan of his music since 1980.

[@byDesignPartners]

I've yet to listen to a Pat Metheny song that failed to touch my soul. I think the genius of his music is that one can place it anywhere it's needed in their life.

[@zsoltvarallyay5915]

Simply perfect, beatiful, and peaceful.....

[@normanvillarroel9407]

I know that Pat Metheny and all his music, is great Sublime*, but this piece is the Ultimate, it is so natural and simple and so **Deeply Beautiful* Thank you Pat and your Musicians the best♥♥♥♥♥

[@michaelcorenzwit716]

I had the extreme pleasure of seeing and talking with Wes Montgomery many times. He was a great artist and beautiful and humble human being. I never met Pat in person but I bet I would come away with a similar feeling.

[@ArlyCravo]

I'm glad you liked it. For me this song speaks of enchantment. And that's what I thought when I selected women with enchantment in their eyes.

[@fernandobustos7234]

Dear Pedro: Regarding Pat Metheny's music, I agree with you, it is something heavenly and profound, there is no music more structured and beautiful than Metheny's, it is perfect, but it seems to me that the combination of this beautiful music with images of beautiful women it is the most perfect mix that can be given. I consider that women are the most beautiful beings on this planet and they deserve a tribute of the most beautiful music like Pat's.

[@carlosnagy]

Hola Arly, definitivamente este es un tributo a las mujeres del mundo. Gracias por compartir esta belleza de imágenes y extraordinario fondo musical de Pat. Saludos desde Caracas - Venezuela.

[@osprey60]

Yet another little gem from Mr M...brilliant....your tour of the UK is LONG OVERDUE !!!

[@Chiffoneire]

I found out Pat year ago, when i actually wanted to listen & understand Jazz. I'm happy i started from Pat & Joe Pass and others. Few months ago, i really understood what this composition mean for me, when one of my fried passed away. there are some moments in this composition which actually reminds me of her so much! I miss you dear!

[@hernanverne7061]

Aunque haga quince años de que alguien subió este tema (gracias!), hace treinta y cinco años que Metheny me tiene asombrado, me pone frenético, me deleita o me serena increíblemente con temas como éste. Cómo lamento la pérdida de Lyle Mays, grandioso tecladista. Cuánta sensibilidad hay que tener para componer temas como If I Could o Antonia. Desde Argentina saludo a Pat y su gente con admiración!!

[@SuperRhondalynn]

I have been fortunate to have seen him live. This was a long time ago with some one i loved. He is no longer with us. When I recall the good times in my life, and the people I shared them with, they were absolutely perfect for the event and the time.

[@VictorEnesBotaNova]

Pat is one of a kind. Art at it 's Excellency,when you listen to this sound with your eyes closed you also can imagine all this gorgeous women.

[@mqblues]

Beauty everywhere! More whiskey and fresh horses for my men! Bring me the guitar player and his band -- such excellence must be rewarded amigos!

[@matt4270]

how could there be people on this planet that wouldn't want to look at these gorgeous women you've provided

[@biglimited]

This takes me somewhere far away where everyone i love or loved r smiling and the sun is shining... Warm breeze and blue sky, no sorrow just pure happiness all over:)

[@arsofe]

Thank you very much for letting me listen to one of my favorite Metheny songs, it´s been a long time since I´ve heard it last, used to listen to it A LOT for many years. Ariel.

[@ilmargav]

Pat, I just played near your home town with the Harlem quartet. I'm just really really amazed by the power of talent and human spirit because your music truly touches everyone and one will never think it's possible to be that universal coming from Lees summit Missouri. Would you please come and play in Havana Cuba? My brother is waiting, Everyone is waiting! Ilmar Lopez Gavilan

[@kyaimaja]

Good song, good slideshow. Thanks!! I play this everyday at the end of my work day, takes a pressure off from the whole day stress. thanks again.

[@MRestisbest]

Arly Cardoso- Thank you for that moving and soothing illustration with superb and gentle photographs of womens incredible charm.It is always fascinating to me. I bow my head very low before that fact.Yet, there is nothing more amazing than the beauty of a woman. For ever. And the last photo is a hearty invitation to the dreams with someone you like very, very much.
