Patrick Watson | Here Comes The River | First Play Live

[@AutumnsAvi]

i really don't understand how he isn't a world wide sensation

[@joost9478]

Im from the netherlands and for me he is a world wilde sensation. Saw him live at lowlands festival years and years ago and he still hits me again and again with New beautifull songs. A True world wilde sensation to me and i guess a lot of others

[@Eitaklane]

This whole album helped me immensely in understanding and accepting my feelings regarding my grandmother’s passing. I don’t think something has ever entered my life at such a perfect time, nor matched my emotions so precisely. Thank you, Patrick Watson. 💜

[@Lexgend]

I'm listening this too because my grandma passed away so unexpected,that I miss her every day.

About ''Here Comes The River'': Watson explained that it took him ten years to complete the song which was inspired from a photo postcard he had found in a Beijing market traveling several years ago. Patrick Watson helped us visualize the picture by describing the postcard’s scenery to show: A flooded street, with cars on the hood; a sad scene, but one that spoke a lot to me. I kept it in my pockets. I let the image settle in my subconscience, and only five years later I was able to write the first lines of the song. The rest came to me by talking to my hairdresser. This philosopher friend of mine, who had gone through many difficult times in his life, said to me: “Sometimes, the only way to break free and let things go, you need to flood until the flood is over, cry until you can’t cry anymore.” No wonder this songs is a great companion during times of sadness, of depression... Sending Love

Thank you for sharing!

[@bazzaah]

This is the loveliest song I've heard for a long time. It makes me happy and it brings me to tears. We all have our rivers. I love it. The best poetry reaches straight into your soul and this does that.

[@cbcmusic]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@MutatedPizzaBoi]

The drummer is on the verge of tears and so am I.

[@FranzRobertWILD]

Each time I come back I cry... a river... and each time I want to like the video... one more time again. But we can only do it once.

[@cbcmusic]

It really is beautiful. You can only like it once, but you can share it as many times as you like!

[@FranzRobertWILD]

​@@cbcmusic Right. I'm sick because of this beauty. You have allowed this session to exist and as a pro musician myself, I know the kind of price for this kind of concert. I wish my songwriting and music to be exposed in the same way. I'm truly grateful for this session of Patrick Watson, this rendition is beyond the original recording. I would love to have this recording in Hi Res.

[@louisegaunt8501]

The most beautiful song I’ve heard in many years ... speechless

[@albertoarranz2038]

IT'S SOMETHING SO WONDERFUL TO LISTEN ... IT WRAPS YOU IN A MELANCOLIC STATE, IT CARRIES YOU UP TO AN EXTASIS OF SADNESS, IT IS REALLY PRECIOUS

[@FantasyCheeseBasin-FCB]

His music takes me away from solitude and gives solace , trapped in my head to released as a bird in a summer sky

[@joost9478]

Can't stop listening. A beauty off a song again.

[@christinebrown6261]

❤ Bravo M. Watson ... Votre grande sensibilite me touche ... Vous avez réussit après quelques années comme vous dites ... à decrire en mots et en musique ... un evenement sans pareil, un drame, une tragedie humaine ... un moment en Vie ... un moment disparu ... Ouf ... " Didn't know it was going to be so hard ... " Merci et Bravo à tous les musiciens et musiciennes, chanteuses ... qui vous accompagnent. Malgre Toute la peine ... cette chanson est et demeure Lumineuse... Grandiose ... Chapeau !

[@angelibarra-y2g]

The windows turned to fishbowls The city to seas The cars were drowning underneath your feet The children were swimming from the top of the trees Crowds of umbrellas were staring in mis-belief Well Mary kept sewing Holding on to her TV Even if the water was rising past her knees Now here comes the river Coming on strong And you can't keep your head above these troubled waters Here comes the river Over the flames Sometimes you got to burn to keep the storm away Sometimes Sometimes you got to just Nobody told you it was going to be this hard Something's been building behind your eyes You lost what you hold onto You're losing control There ain't any words in this world That's gonna cure this pain Sometimes it's going to fall down on your shoulders But you're going to stand through it all Here comes the river Coming on strong But you can't keep your head above these troubled waters Here comes the river Over the flames Sometimes you got to burn to keep the storm away Sometimes You gots to just

[@valnevertrumper]
