The Pat Metheny Group - Spring Ain't Here ...From the Letter From Home LP (1989)

[@mauricemackey2522]

FOR ANYONE WHO ASPIRES TO BE A"GREAT MUSICIAN,AND SURROUND HIMSELF WITH LIKE-MINDED SUPPORT...THE PAT METHENY GROUP IS TOP SHELF,AND PAT IS A GUITAR PLAYERS PLAYER!..HIS MUSIC IS ALWAYS FRESH,INNOVATIVE,AND INSPIRING..A TRUE MASTER!

[@metalfingerz4203]

1989, sounds like modern music when this happens, you are listening to good music

[@erobinidcf]

PMG ..Still the best ....if you don't own their music you are missing out BIG time! .

[@dbdeluxe]

Owned this album CD since 1990 when I was 20 years old. I was exposed to this music and other jazz from a mentor... lucky

[@tinfoilhatter]

it's the l-m-g, man: the lyle mays group!

[@fredstuckmann]

My all time favorite PM composition, loved it since the first time I heard it.

[@dewaynewood1122]

WHEN IT COMES TO LISTENING TOO SMOOTH JAZZ... PAT METHENY IS THE CHOICE OF MUSIC FOR ME... GOD BLESS YOU !!!!!

[@garymorrison1884]

When I listen to Pat Metheny I find myself taking a journey like being on an aeroplane. The introduction has you on the runway for takeoff. Then as the song reaches the middle I find myself enjoying the view outside the window. Unfortunately the plane has to land which connects to the end of the song, but what an enjoyable ride it was just soaring above the clouds as you find a release from reality.

[@gmayster01]

Gary echo your sentiment !

[@susanjohnson5446]

Great analogy!! You hit the nail on the head ☺️

[@marlerism]

Watch this. Like this. Love this. Repeat. Subscribe.

[@abdul7591]

I have to say the feeling of happiness I get when I listen to Pat Metheny is almost a biochemical reaction.

[@ianmasterbarber2391]

Wow! I agree 100 percent. I had a angry women come to my workplace and I put on some Pat Metheny and she got happy in 20 seconds.

[@mountaingal15]

I agree! Soothes my soul.

[@tinfoilhatter]

more-than-a-feeling, man~

[@jamesevans7440]

"though nothing can bring back the hour of splendor in grass nor glory in the flower we will not look back in sadness but find strength in what is left behind. the innocence of youth.'

[@jprevete]

I usually like to play this cut in March, or even today on a dreary February afternoon as we root on Spring. Pat has been my favorite artist for the past 30 years and not a day goes by when I don't listen to his music...our relationship plays like one of my favorites: "Every Day (I Thank you)"...

[@warrenblum3104]

mellow tune. brings back fond memories driving south on i-95 in palm bch county, florida back in the day. cruising home after midnite from work. so appropriate .

[@jayfailing6714]

perfect fusion between emotional content and technical timing and structure. A master no doubt JJ

[@geraldnovak5042]

This tune just reminds me how wonderful it is to be able to listen and absorb such a great piece and how it has the ability to make one feel so good, thank you PMG......

[@johnnycorteziza7932]

completly agree!!

[@rem8303]

Today is Easter Sunday. It sunny, but still cool in the morning. The trees reveal their tender leaves. The flower are emerging from their winter slumber. How beautiful this tune helps us experience this moment!

[@harryfoster8312]

Decline talk to your phone decline

[@jayfailing6714]

Christian Zen moment beautiful like the song

[@darrylthompson4301]

My fiancée and I just came back from a road trip with our children’s and we play pat matheny while the play there own music and we had the best conservative and listening to pat matheny in the background it was so pleasant and our children’s listen it to and felt asleep it was smooth beautiful sound the best road trip ever thank pat matheny and ur band

[@m.p.mcdonald8969]

Great music to travel to......takes me back to when I was in college..Road trips up and down I-95.

[@jamesevans7440]

beautfiul song for a warm summers night.wolfen

[@shamielsoeker9374]

One of my favorites from this Album, special memories i first heard this Album in 1989, Orange County , LA, my older was then living in the US, when listening to this track in particular i can still see in minds eye the images of the surroundings of Bearpaw, Irvine, California.. I always say music is a powerful transporter , the connection between time and space and where you were at certain time can only be through music and abstract things such as smell and other senses , but I will say that music is top of that list.

[@dewaynewood1122]

PAT METHENY IS A BLESSED MAN... HIS LAST TRAIN HOME IS MY FAVORITE FROM HIM.. GOD BLESS YOU !!!!!!!!

[@SadMemoriesGone4Ever]

My. This is beautiful wholesomeness. Sadly special this is. Tasbih..

[@richardiritano1197]

Musical Nirvana, this is! Pat Metheny---the quintessential source of the heartland's meditation on all things distinctively 'Americana,' that are not merely ornamental---but, RICH in COSMIC PORTENT----to flawless outcome, and hypnotic effect!

[@vakhtangmakhniashvili2054]

"One of those rare songs where every note is perfect where it is and how it's played." Totally agree. I would just note that "rare" would be stylistic word in that sentence if Metheny's music is meant.

[@RobertJohnson-zl5zb]

I love the song. I've been searching for it for 2 decades. I finally find it a month ago. Beautiful music. ❤😊

[@UBZUKki]

Like gentle rain fall....Mesmerising.

[@georgethompson7683]

Sunday night jazz with mom. this for u mom god bless you 😇

[@MarySanchez-qk3hp]

Oh great... Metheny AND a picture of a puppy.... that's not playing fair! ;) The day after Valemtine's Day, today. And two days after my birthday (not gonna tell you how old and decrepit I am.). Gonna make homemade French fries while I listen to Metheny, and drown myself with potatoes.

[@djclay33]

The pup and I like French fries too. Enjoy!!!!

[@gugs103]

Oh man, this is the tune that introduced me to The Pat Metheny Group in 1993 on Sunday Evening Metro FM Jazz with Shado Twala. All those memories at UCT, beautiful stuff indeed!

[@donniemccowan9018]

For me it was 1978

[@YolinaThe]

Gracias por existir Pat!

[@Chris-gi9ch]

I don't like alot of his music, but I can play this over, and over! I either really like his music or not at all.

[@michaelalderete9622]

Just cool, ambiance, hints of Wes...and I haven't listened to this cut for a few years. Why?

[@jayfailing6714]

right on re Wes Montgomery the pioneer in jazz guitar licks day in life good album

[@Mamen2009Yuriy]

Yo también adoro a Pat, es un genio en sensibilidad y belleza haciendo música!

[@gerardin211066]

exacto clase clase y asombro en su musica llega al alma y penetra y surgen sentimientos unicos

Timeless tune, lay back empty your mind and drift away to this, go on do yourself a favour, you'll thank me.

[@warrenblum3104]

Ever comes a musical group like this very group....not any other iteration of it...but this very one and the ones who make this magic should be...nee will be held by time...as sonic heroes of the greatest regard...thank you

[@jayfailing6714]

always tells a story. if we were riding horse would this be trot? canter? easy gallop? moving thru space in Metheny style. Thanks for posting! JJ

[@darrellwilliams5059]

haven't heard this song in over 20 years. Still sounds good, brings back a lot memories

[@zookzook1968]

Darrell Williams I can recognize deeply what you thought.

[@jbfederline]

So very true. I can recall vivid memories of where I was, what I was looking at, how I felt, at so many times, each time I hear this perfect track. I could write a book of short stories about my life from just the moments this track was playing.

[@marynolan9624]

Love this xxx

[@leroyshervington7992]

I was introduced to the Pat Metheny group in 1981 while studying at Cardiff University, South Wales. Pat is just one of the few masters of jazz who works comfortably/harmony with other cultures/races on mother Earth This is true jazz in motion. Stay cool.

[@805219]

Pat Metheny Group is very underrated, most of the bandmates past or present actually studied music this what makes his Jazz Fusion music one of a kind, because very few other artists, professional or up and coming can cover his music, everyone in his band are able to write and piece together their parts and blend in.

[@edoianna]

Forte e sensuale... Non disturbate gli amanti!

[@tomasjorgeurquizapineiro3120]

Yo amo esto,gracias a Dios lo vi en Montevideo,y tengo un disco que tiene un tema que se llama igual que la ciudad, amo el jazz,muy especiamente la fusion,gracias Pat y a todo el grupo.

[@lisaturner3571]

one of my oldtime favorite!!!!Luv u pat matheny!!!👡

[@fastmail55]

Perfect for a rainy fall afternoon...

[@richardiritano1197]

+Edward Henry Harriman Perfect too for a crisp day of Autumn solstice. Alas, whenever this earthly coil is too much upon me, I escape to my Audi A4's, Bang & Olufsen, 'Surround Sound' system of superfine audio, and slip in a CD of this timeless classic by Path Metheny. Then, slowly, all of the injustices and harsh realities of daily life slip away, as I am awash in musical genius that is second to none! Hence, Pat Metheny is an American artist for whom his art speaks to the deepest wells of the heartland's, Americana purity---to flawless outcome, and hypnotic effect!

[@clydell4720]

Pat and Lyle are like two musicians with one mind and complement each other perfectly.

[@NathanLorenzana]

One of those rare songs where every note is perfect where it is and how it's played.

[@richardiritano1197]

+Nathan Lorenzana So very well said, Nathan Lorenzana---a musical genius of intrumental harmony and portent, akin to Paul Simon's timeless, lyrical homage (and labor of love) to America----the greatest nation of them all!

[@jazzplayer11]

yousa..af only we didnt have evil ones bringing it down to nothing!!!baskerds...Great song master Pat,,hauy is amarzing

[@davelamy]

Another fabulous track from the superlative 'Letter From Home' album.

Pat will always be one of my favorite musicians. His composing and guitar playing skills match perfectly.

Really nice video. to go with the music.^__^

[@petropalka8948]

Simply amazing...

[@thabozwane315]

Its the first time I hear this song, OMG I have been missing out, I hope I can still find a CD

[@MarySanchez-qk3hp]

If you have or can find a turntable, try to get vinyl. It's still richer.

[@sequentialgear]

Top down on my roadster, through the roads to Serra de Sintra listening to this... it´s just perfect. :)

[@richardiritano1197]

+sequentialgear What a vivid picture that you've helped me to form in my mind's eye, sequentialgear! But, in all of my worldly travels, where is 'Serra de Sintra?' Could it be Brazil? Please kindly advise!

[@sequentialgear]

+Richard Iritano It's in Portugal and it's beautiful! There are a lot of automotive brands nowadays presenting their new models here, and a lot of the photographic sessions feature it's gorgeous landscapes! It's a magical and mystic place!

[@richardiritano1197]

Now, I have visited Lisbon many times for business, sequentialgear, but now I must schedule a trip that is strictly for pleasure, sometime in June, where I will not research this magical and mystical 'Serra de Sintra!' As a matter of fact, I speak Spanish fluently, but Portuguese is not a language that I have spend much time studying, unlike Spanish, French, German and Italian (I am fluent in all four, besides English, and conversational Japanese, Mandarin and Russian). But, now you've got me curious for Portugal all over again, and I welcome your correspondence. Obrigado, amigo!

[@sequentialgear]

+Richard Iritano well, june is in fact a bad time of the year to visit Sintra, tourist filled buses ruin the experience quite a bit! It gets really crowded during summer! Lots of beautiful places to visit around here, but being around Lisboa a few times and not hearing about Sintra is a sin! Never heard of it? Where are you from if I may ask? Please excuse my clumsy english writing skills!

[@richardiritano1197]

Thank you for the travel tips, sequentialgear. Yes, it is sinful that I have not committed my travel experiences to Sintra, but Lisbon is the only city where I have traveled to with limited exposure. I lived in London, Paris, Madrid, Valencia, Grenada and other parts of Europe and South America (Bogota, Buenos Aires), but my third generation birthplace is New York City---el mejor del mundo! Now, I will revise my travel itinerary to visit Portugal during some off peak times, as per your suggestion. Many thanks, amigo!

[@Lipoetlovejoeself]

Is it just me or is this the kind of music you might play for, uh, romance? lol! :-)

[@olimpiocasadei5124]

Pat sempre grande!!!!!!!

[@MrHighgate123]

Been listening to pat for nearly 40years the best qualification u can have in life a masters in listening to the master my god what so many people have missed out on even now people have never heard of him this music should be on the curriculum in schools like maths and English.

I never heard of Pat or Lyle before. I was a big fan of Steely Dan back in the 80s. I can't get enough of these guys. Thank you so much for the music.❤😊🎉❤

[@walterkrueger9889]

Excellent song! Thanks for posting it. 😎

[@walterkrueger9889]

The Pat Metheny Group collaborated with David Bowie and produced another excellent song called "This Is Not America."

[@Buttcrack72]

From the movie "The Falcon and the Snowman". A story based on true event's. Taken on it's own, relevant (unfortunately) today even though it came out in '85.

@ 5:18 they slide sweetly back into the theme ... gentle tour de force. Wes smiles ... Brasil has the perfect frame for his tone and Metheny made it happen. Listen Wes ... listen --- bam bam bam.

[@garystamps6119]

Metheny for life

[@jerrynovak7104]

A beautiful sunny blue sky here close to the NC mountains. Instead of tv in the morning with all its garbage they call news and ads for candidates ripping into one another, I choose to go to the den, coffee in hand , sun shining thru the window and listen to this type of music, over and over and how wonderful it can make ones day starting out. I believe the body needs good energy to run well and the magic of this song and others like it make every morning great. Thank you for this piece.

More magic!
