Anyone in 2024? Gretings from Brazil!!!

[@teenac718]

I listen to this song all the time....and cry😢. I'm 63 and "This is not America" anymore.

[@arnoldsherrill6305]

I was born in 1956 and it is now 2020 and when I see how much my country has changed while listening to this piece of music it literally hit you in the heart how ahead of its time this song actually ended up being

[@soko63]

It’s really going to go in the shithole now that Trump is out of office. You ain’t seen nothing yet!!!!

[@keithmuir5077]

I am Scots and i am deeply sorry that when Trump was in Scotland as a presidential candidate we didnt ring that bell louder against him.

[@patrickjenkins6383]

@Arnold Sherrill: 👍🗿 I totally agree with you on that.

[@Mark-pp7jy]

That makes us the same age Arnold. It's 2022 now, and it seems a bigger mess. That's why it's so important for people like you and me to lead by example. This we must do! All the best to you sir! ✌️♥️ Mark

[@retromusings]

Huge fan of the Pat Metheny Group. Lovely video and great singers for this song. My favourite is still the version with Bowie singing; Thanks for this upload.

[@jeanglenn7855]

After all the timesI've listened to this, I still get chills. So deeply emotional and beautiful!!

[@tiffanydouglas2686]

Blamires and Ledford are on fire with this number!

[@brigittebenjamin9528]

I never heard this version and now I love both versions... this and David Bowie's

[@gaae2000]

The two vocalists have been with Pat for at least 30years!...

[@lounatic7370]

Mark Ledford joined Pat in 1986, passed away in 2004. 30 hey?

[@franniej.3110]

Yes the song hits me in the gut every time and yes our country has changed so much for the worst what is our future?

[@lotusalivelight24]

Born in 1956 also, '56,' being the Base Area of the Great Pry... 8-sided... & pointing to the Earth's Ecliptic, of 72-degrees/ years, 722x around the constellations, for the mind-boggling total of 51,984 years... This song came upon us all, in about the first quarter of our lives, or so, & what's really so timelessly great about it, is here is an '8-part-melodic-rhythmic-SCORE' !!! It's jaw-dropping... ✨💫 (i've been listening to it for about 3 days now, with a break on hang-drum with bird-calls...😂 :) 🌎🌍🌏 i spent a little time at Metheny-Mays Live Shows, (lucked-out), & my ears got 'really good,' from it !!! you'd think, anyway... !🌸 &, Considering the way 'America' is not-too-well-behaving, in 2024, 'This is NOT 'America.' 💔 )...i wish i had some 'super-powers,' against the Super Powers..:( 😭

[@delcioignaciodossantos4766]

The music is great

[@marcoevers9479]

What an incredible vocal performance this is...!!

[@iammar10]

[@lopessimonidesr.6582]

Lyle, grande pianista, tipo de musico genial, silencioso, discreto, corria das luzes dos holofotes, grande arranjador, ...enquanto sua arte, sua criação, sua forma diferenciada no trato a musica ;;; Brilhante da arte é isso, permanecer no Olimpo. Sua pessoa fara muita falta.

[@rakasin]

Descrição muito acertada! O homem fará falta mesmo 😔

[@JohnSmith-de4zr]

Wonderful song.

[@sandraamaral2836]

Lindo 👏👏

[@kaborra1]

Also love the version with Anna Maria Jopek and Pat Metheny

[@VictorRochaGaming]

Wow!

[@jorgeluengo4244]

excelenteeeeee

[@juanalvarez917]

El tío que canta tipo soul o, cosa así, no me gusta, no pega, no. Pero, aporta lo suyo . Lo peor, lo más asqueroso, ridículo, hortera, paletojazz, es la entrada del Pat ese de mierda con su solo apestoso. Una mierda , como siempre que toca la guitarra, siempre. Pat Metheny no pinta nada en esta canción, nada más que joder. Es el grupo quien lo hace todo, TODO (al menos en este temazo) y él Mézeni nada, nada más que joder al personal. El Pat de marras no hace más que estropear, molestar y cerrar los ojos como si flotara sideralmente con sus punteos de mierda, que lo son, y grande. Y realmente flota, el gilipolllas,....Cómo siente el caos! Cómo flipa con su desorden mental frenopático! Cómo toca tan mal?! Por qué no se pone unas gafas muy grandes y de pasta, como debe ser. Cómo toca, me pregunto, sí, cómo toca el tiparraco? ? Qué barullo! Preguntas sin respuesta. Yo tengo una: toca mal y pone nervioso. Lo que no entiendo es que guste a los demás humanos y humanas (que no me gusta discriminar, aunque sea positivamente) los solos interminables del moñas este. Mal músico, sin duda alguna el Pat Méceni este, además de mala persona, engreido, cabrón, chulo y paleto. Que nos deje en paz ya, por Dios! Ya!. Que le encierren; que le hagan una lobotomía -química o física: un clavo y un martillo; que no vea nunca más una guitarra- y mucho menos la toque- en su asquerosa vida y que le folle un pez. física: un clavo y un martillo sería muy expeditivo, efectivo y radical ; que no vea nunca más una guitarra- y mucho menos la toque- en su asquerosa vida y que le folle un pez.

[@shannonreardon9811]

artistry

[@Sumdrumer]

Wow!!! As good as the Bowie version!!

So up to date…

[@marcolivieri8227]

No evrsion of this great song can't b bad.... Can't listen the singer but it must b good.... Rock

[@user-px8ii2zz3k]

今は亡きマークレッドフォード(vocal右)素晴らしきマルチプレイヤー！歌もうまい！名曲！

[@ralballer]

Not the greatest Bowie fan, but listening to this interpretation, I wish he was still with us...

[@timapple6586]

Amongst Bowie fans, I think we can collectively agree that you're not the greatest. With ya, bro. But no one can take it upon themselves to bar the exit.

[@andreapereyra472]

Genios

[@samhamida4692]

A moment of Eternity

[@karlsimpson4390]

❤

[@TrapnestShinigami]

Am I the only one who thinks this doesn't work the same without Bowie... but that when he played the song it just didn't work the same without Pat Metheny? Sad they never played it live together :C

[@BillDare100]

I guess no video of them both and his band but does not the original incorporate them both and the Metheny band?

[@sambouchard3609]

Theme from The Falcon and the Snowman, not Cat People...

[@rwungson]

...rip Mark Ledford :(

[@user-ef7om8pq6t]

Rip bowie

[@mentebrillante9131]

DAVID BOWIE'S VOICE IS MISSING

[@Lyndanet]

Yeah he would have made this sound amazing

[@ucviet1]

Falcon and the snowman... Off my face... Then cried

[@RunsHorses]

Mark Ledford was good.

[@Sa7biUK]

I was not expecting it to be this good without Bowie. Outstanding!

[@Vinyears80s]

Is there a live video of Pat Metheny singing together with David? I'm trying to find it, but not succeded.

[@Xesxs]

I named my parakeet after him. And when I saw this shirt he wears I bought it ( in Russia).

[@deb4wakeforestNC]

Making love music

[@usandthemakakelly2535]

That's why I'm listening to it! 😏💓

[@bazwillrun]

what is the track in the intro ?

[@risboturbide9396]

RIP David Bowie

[@VUTUV1900]

Bowei 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥

[@ap9037]

....where are you David ?

[@SHEEPFETTISH]

Remember what year this was ,,,was I twenty?

[@jcarlosvitorcarlosvitorcar5821]

Show

[@Fildazur]

Cette chanson, pourrait servir d'illustration, à la (formidable) série documentaire d'Oliver Stone : "Une Autre Histoire de l'Amérique". 😎

[@SHEEPFETTISH]

can anyone tell me the first 35 seconds

[@dariuszkrzemieniecki4567]

Super America💓🇵🇱ok

[@pauldaniel6208]

Amazing. The vocals are better than the version with Bowie.

[@darioborel3270]

What’s the name of song in the introduction ? Thanks ;)

[@gregsaddie]

To The End Of The World

[@mullewap6670]

ja der Pat.

[@bloodtypedating]

Meth eny?

[@Purrrelll]

This song has nothing to do with Jazz music, it was a one time single project for Bowie. It was made with a Synclavier, a huge synth with sequencer and Pat behind it. It was Pat's biggest hit sadly it has not a Jazz song.

[@anselmosalvoaragon8671]

Buena versión, es el compositor. Me gusta mas la de David Bowie

[@Different-Level]

Damn, this gives me the chills..... Absolute sex to my eardrums

[@terryharrison5185]

If you think this is good then watch the original version by David Bowie 😉
