Pat Metheny Group - Are You Going With Me?

[@gabitalan2346]

Évtizedek óta, ez a zene egy kiemelkedő LEG a számomra...- időnként megnézem, hogy a világban kik, milyen képanyagokkal éreznek rá a lényegére. Már van pár favoritom, de ez az egyik LEG azok közül, amik együtt rezegnek a lényeggel. (Külön érdekesség, hogy éppen egy magyar ember (férfi? nő?) készítette. :) Köszönöm mindenképp, egy újabb élmény lett ez így a legek sorában.

[@Ipiapacs64]

Kedves Gabi! 1985-ben hallottam először ezt a zenét az első Pat Metheny koncerten amit megnéztem a Kongresszusi Központban! Azóta bármikor elfog ez az érzés amit ez a szám ad nekem, akár naponta mindig meghallgatom! Z

IDK but it's actually BEAUTIFUL

[@johnwalker7945]

I first heard this song in Chicago as a maybe 12 or 13 year old kid. Being black and from the Hood, I'd never been introduced to anything remotely close to this. This truly blew me away as a kid. But I had an am/fm portable Tape recorder and man I seem to could never catch it from the very beginning to record it. So I had it recorded maybe 5 or 6 times right behind each other, and man it was like having an extended remix version. I'd lay in bed and listen to this and travel places in my mind that were warm, beautiful, and tranquil. Still at 54, one of Pat's die hard fans.

PAT METHENY AND LYLE MAYS ARE MUSICAL GENIUSES! PERIOD!!!!

[@vermontsownboy6957]

1984, was 23 when I first heard this song and I was leaving for Alaska. After graduation my College roomate (we're still close friends today) said, "oh, you've got to hear this!". He pushed me down into a plush chair, put a pair of excellent head phones around my ears, and off I went. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I've experienced a solid half-dozen musical exposures where my world fundamentally changed in that moment: there was everything that came before, and everything different that came after. Dark Side Of the Moon, Won't Get Fooled Again, Born To Run, Any number of Beethoven Symphonies and Concertos]. And yeah, Are you Going With Me.

[@susanjohnson5446]

I took a friend to see Pat Metheny on this tour who had never seen or heard of him before. I didn't see him for 2 days after the concert. When I finally got a hold of him I found out that the next day he had gone out and purchased all of his albums and had spent the intervening time listening to his music over and over. That really sums up the effect Pat Metheny (and Lyle Mays) has on you!!

[@knaziringram4589]

Wow! Sagan210 sounds close to my experience. I was taken to see him for the first time back in the early 90's and I lost my mind, transformed my life. I knew who Pat Metheny was and "are you going with me?" was the first song of his I heard back in the 80's but seeing him along with Lyles Mayes, Steve Rodby, Paul Wertico, Pedro Anzar and Nana' along with an entire stage full of superstars I was hooked. Yes and like your friend bought every piece of music I could find.

[@cyprescrow]

Quite amazing what impact these gentlemen from the Florida School of Music have on people. They themselves would probably not say so. Perhaps they've never even thought of their own music as being "spiritual". I mean, spiritual in the sense of being trancendent, being in touch with something yonder, of reaching and invoking something deeper within the listener. But everyone that has been gripped and moved by the PM Group's music know exactly what I mean. They would perhaps not use the words I do to describe it with... because, yes I know, they do have a tendency to sound kind of pretentious and new agey, but how else can one describe such music, on the very high level it is? It doesn't really matter what words one uses, everyone who knows, knows exactly what I'm trying to say anyway: Pat Metheny group's music is on a level of its own. On my travels I've met people from all four corners of the world, who all share the same kinda special connection to PM music. I mean, I've been on far away secluded beaches in Thailand, moon hanging like a giant drop above the sea, people spinning fire pois, dancing in the night, and then someone flicks on a Pat Metheny piece and suddenly everything slows down into that meditative state. Listening to PM music is like dipping the soul in the warm vast ocean. It's cleansing and one always feel better afterwards, even if one felt really good to begin with. Though... I think it takes a person who has certain valves in her/him open, in order to grasp and appreciate PM music. If you can't hear it...... If you don't get the point, then it comes across as..... Elevator music, I once heard somebody say. One has to have the ability to see beauty, to be tender, to understand such music. And as we all know, "seeing beauty and being tender" are not really qualities most men adhere to volontarily. Pat Metheny music cures headaches, heartaches, and if it doesn't itself heal what ever it is that needs healing, it sure helps alot in the process. Everytime I listen to PM music I'm thinking.... "Yes, that is so right. Why make anything that isn't beautiful. Why play music, why do anything, if it isn't beautiful, if it doesn't fill you like this?" Because it truly does.... fill you with something that feels good in a very real and true way. So after a lot of pondering nose down in a pot full of words that easily can make their writer, or speaker, seem like some difficult bastard with low self esteem who desperately needs to come across as the intellectual he's not, it cuts down to one simple thing: It's just so damn f... beautiful. You never get tired of it.

I am so sorry for your loss but he is with you for sure when you listen to this as music connects through the emotions and when there is a piece of music that gives you goosebumps your vibration is rising! Spirit is able to connect better when the vibes are high as they are already in high vibe, usually so low vibes repell them. The fact that he introduced this music to you is definitely what you call a gift and the energy of that gratitude for that gift is very uplifting and radiates out into the universe touching everything in it path! So you can see now how great music is more than just music as it creates a beacon (you) to amplify it! Obviously it is the same for low vibe music and that has been used in the music industry for years to influence groups of people! God bless you and keep your vibes high!

Pat, so sorry for your loss and the rest of the ensemble, with Lyles passing. You and Lyle have given me, my family and so many of my friends and patients [I am a physical therapist in my own office] magical interludes from the ‘everyday affairs of mankind’. You have lifted many spirits in this physical world to ecstatic heights with your musical interpretations...allowing mere mortals to taste The sweet nectar of The Divinity Inspiring your Souls. The passion and Power of musical performance that You and Lyle exuded is something I have rarely experienced from any other musicians. There are No Words...and You and Lyle Lived that Truth by using voice and instrument- guitar and keyboard -as another instrument for Inspiration from The Soul to pass through you both -and your band- to entertain, Inspire and Enlighten us all... In my heart I Know Lyle is smiling within your heart turning up the lamp of Inspiration to gift you The Best of what is Yet to find Birth into this realm through your creativity and inspiration. Thank You for The Gifts of your MUSIC over the decades. I and my two sons now adults have fabulous memories of You, Lyle and The Band. Lyle...as you Rest a bit within The Heart of God’s Inspiration and Limitless Creativity...May you Bless your Friend Pat with yet to come...The sweetest of Inspirations... “I hold no dreams of fortunes vast Nor seek undying fame I do not ask when life is past That many even know my name. I may not own the skill To rise To glories top Most height Nor to win a place amongst the wise But I can keep the right. And I can live my life on Earth Contented to the end If but a few shall Know My Worth And proudly call me friend...” Towne May God continue to Bless You All... Keith Wilbert

Having studied jazz at the Master’s level at Indiana University, there is no pianist I admire more than Lyle Mays. His spontaneous melodic and harmonic composition (improvisation) is creative and sensitive at a level worth a lifetime of study. He and Pat were actually introduced to each other by my IU jazz band director, Dominic Spera. Had I known that I would have hugged Dominic and kissed him on the cheek!

Am an amateur musician, better at guitar than piano, can hardly read the notes but easily cover most songs with chords, ranging from Hotel California to Bossa Nova. But when I listen to Pat Matheny/ Lyle Mays...something magical happens, heavenly musical chemistry. I no longer listen to Pat when Lyle Mays passed away, still preferring their musical collaboration. Its what Jazz is all about, two friends "chatting" emotionally, truthfully and impulsively, sometimes in key, scales, sometimes off tangent, skewed but still binding, like all true friendships ♥️♥️

[@edwarddicecco3219]

I went to 6 of The Pat Metheny Group concerts, starting in the 80's and into the 90's, and I was always overwhelmed by the fact that in concert, they sounded exactly like their recordings. This music still gives me the chills and warms my soul.

I was living in Cairo, Egypt in 83/84 when I first heard this tune on the radio. I wasn't sure who or what Pat Metheny was, or what instrument was being played and was totally blown away from I heard. Luckily I rememebered the DJ saying it was Pat Matheny Group from an album that sounded like "offland" . That summer I was in London and on a LP buying binge, went to this record store and asked about Pat Metheny and viola! he shows me Offramp....I knew I hit the jackpot! paid a hefty 6.25 pounds ( at a time when regular albums went for 3-4 pounds) & never regretted. Sadly, thanks to my poor health and corona virus, I had to cancel my trip to Singapore where he played on March 1 this year - this, I will regret for the rest of my life.

[@adg_87]

In 1989 I was in the army and away from home, after working I used to listen to music on a portable tape deck, tired and lying on the bed, but they were always the same tapes every day, the same music and it had bored me, so I asked if someone had something new to play me, a Bro told me "listen to this and imagine being a flying eagle", I put my headphones on and followed the advice, the song was "are you going .." from "Offramp" ... from that day i didn't stop flying every time i listen to pat metheny ... thank you bro, wherever you are

[@daryllharris]

i'm a TOTAL metheny /mays addict. there's not one composition that hits me wrong by these master musicians, but having said that, the master piece, SAN LORENZO which used to make me weep like a child, stills swells my heart and brings me near to tears. EVERY single time i hear it, its like the first time. its a breath taking imaginative journey full of so much warmth and texture. i could go on, but i'm welling up just writing about it. THANK YOU, pat metheny group for ur wealth of food for the soul music.

It,s a classic brazilian music...a samba do morro... the bass plays like the big drum we call "surdo" and you can notice the tamborins, "played" here by Lile on keyboards...once was Nana Vasconcelos... Amazing... Pat swoed that samba could gain modernity and evolve...But we did not learned from him, as he learned from us.

Pat Metheny used to get a lot of air play on the NYC jazz station I grew up listening to. It was WRVR and me and my high school friends listened to it all the time! Wow! What memories this brings back. This station was devoted to fusion jazz and as soon as the movie "Urban Cowboy" came out, the station was bought out by a country western company. What a loss!!
