Patrick Watson: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 тра 2012
- With a gifted backing band on hand to help flesh out three songs from Adventures in Your Own Backyard, Watson conducts a swirl of interlocking loveliness that still finds room for surprises, from a singing saw to a microphone that makes his voice sound as if it's bouncing off some faraway satellite.
Set List:
"Adventures In Your Own Backyard"
"Words In The Fire"
"Into Giants"

I'll always remember writing him a letter asking where I could purchase waterproof9 when it first came out in 2001 - he just mailed me the CD, and this has always stuck with me.
He's something else. What a great story.
that's so cool
That's so wholesome
that would be something I would also never forget
Thanks for sharing
The most underrated singer of all time
Let him be our little secret
Am telling you...
Agree
Yes, it’s so scary
Since I couldn't find em elsewhere, here are the names of the musicians
Patrick Watson - Vocals
Simon Angell - Acoustic Guitar
Mishka Stein - Electric Guitar
Mélanie Bélair - Violin
Robbie Kuster - Percussion
I much prefer when those names are included on the notes and even more when the people with mics introduce everyone performing - it isn’t that hard to do and there is no reason why that isn’t protocol.
I can't believe I just discovered Patrick Watson this year in 2023 😲😳. This man is talented, never heard an artist like him.
me too and thanks to my daughter, I'm 54 and my baby 10, she's teaching me music unbelievable!!🙄
Saw him live tonight in Toronto and life felt normal for a few hours. His music is like a hug. Intimate and majestic. What a treasure of a human.
La vie m'a semblé normal quelques heures \• Trésor humain
I seem to cry a lot when I watch Patrick Watson's performances on UA-cam...and I'm a GROWN ASS MAN!
Cartiear Madlock ass men are deserving of a good cry every so often no matter how grown! ;D
I saw him last week and there was a girl crying. Your not alone!
One of the most amazing concerts and displays of musicianship I've ever seen... him and his band.
Just like cloudy with a chance of meatballs it's anoth to make a grown man cry
It’s got nothing to do with being a man lol. You cry when you cry, it’s human.
i love you for this
The world isn't quite as awful when I listen to this
Aarti Vasudevan sike
I want to go to a campfire party with Patrick Watson omg
One microphone for all this magic?? This is a TRUE Tiny Concert
When they played in SXSW they had the audience go silent, because they were doing almost everything acoustic on one mic. It was really good.
I have to see Patrick Watson live someday...
you should - it was the best live performance I've seen :)
it’s been 7 years , did u make it ?
I saw him in concert last year just a few days before the first lockdown, it was a magical experience!
@@joybesseling7486 you are such a lucky person
@@joybesseling7486 Where did you see him? I saw him in San Francisco in early 2020.
Time line:
0:00 : Adventures In Your Own Backyard
5:10 : Words In The Fire
9:06 : Into Giants

I've seen Emmy award winners play music but never an Emmy award player
The workers who do this are so lucky to hear so many different bands and musicians right in front of them
Like I’ll never get to listen to even half of what they have
Every performance I see from these guys Patrick is always keeping his hands very busy with lots of flailing gestures. I love it lmao
Like a bridled Joe Cocker.
Does someone else keep coming here to feel alive?
Patrick is soooo talented! To me, he is a classic. I have been a faithful fan since the beginning. Everything he produces is a m a z i n g, with complexities through vocals and instruments. I appreciate his music. He is musically genius.
doesnt he have one of the most beautiful, soft and controlled voices in contemporary indie / folk?? can't believe no one else is commenting on that. i love his voice!
I really am always amazed at the beautiful and haunting sound that you can get out of something as strange and as mundane as a saw.
his eyebrows are magnificent.
here 9 years later. still beautiful
I always wonder what kinda life the people might live who press the dislike button on clips like these. Wonderful Patrick Watson, I always love what he does.
Went to his concert in Philly in 2023 and he was nuts. The music was beautiful. He makes everything up as he goes and conducts the entire band. It was beautiful
Thats Got to be the most creative session on tiny desk concert
I love watching musicians who clearly FEEL the music. On another plane.
'Into Giants' is a superb song and this version gives me goosebumps.
Best thing I did was to book a flight to NY just to go see him live. Looking forward to it again.
I think I’m in love.
i love the innovative instruments in all of these. saw with a violin bow instead of a lap guitar, spare change instead of a shaker, in another video a guy smacking a suitcase instead of a bass drum
I love him - he sings like an angel! I love all the voices at 2:46. I love his smile and laugh at 9:17. I love how he is still wearing 3 concert bracelets.
This is hauntingly good music...the voice of the girl and the guy in harmony with that crazy effect sounds so beautiful to me.
No other video on youtube have I rewatched so many times. Beguiling set.
WHAT THE HELL THIS IS SO PERFECT, IT DESERVES 3 MILLION VIEWS!!
I've watched this vid more than any other vid on UA-cam...hand's down without a doubt.
i saw the band live twice in Minneapolis. Never heard such a great band live!
Best thing to come out of Canada by far..
together with primus!
you're forgetting about broken social scene
Psychoanalytical87 Great Big Sea , Metric Arcade Fire, Coeur de Pirate, Great Lake Swimmers shall I go on
Psychoanalytical87 I'd add Dan Mangan + Blacksmith and Arcade Fire to that list.
+Psychoanalytical87 And Mac Demarco may i add
I love.... Love how they use that Emmy award to make that sound.
just so beautiful
My life is only as good as it will be enjoyed.
I agree with you. It's one of the most unusual and original live performances I've seen, who sounds quite like this? Brilliant!
I love this man and his band so so so so so much!
This has got to be one of my favourite tiny desk 🙂
saw him las night. still can't stop shaking.
Wow, this is incredible...The saw is just mesmerizing.
It came from the 80's Québec comic group Les Foubrac... ua-cam.com/video/YoGMVdjU9B4/v-deo.html
Such a great artists, it's an amazing feeling just listen to them, Patrick has the most beautiful voice ever.
I love this. So original. I have enjoyed the sound of these 3 songs and their differences but the way they do them they hv a cohesiveness. Beautiful. What a talented band too.
He's the best! Thank you NPR.
This is one of the most amazing displays of talent and musical genius I’ve ever seen. Just....wow!
Love the style, clean sound, range. Makes you pay attention.
Such a lovely version of Into Giants in this setting! Kudos from Canada for this!
This channel brings out the most underrated artists and i love it
The band is amzing... Love that sound of the guiter
I love that sheet of metal instrument played with a violin bow! So awesome!
we call that "musical saw" ,)
Patrick Watson is just simply amazing.
enough said.
God, he always has the best musicians. All the different colors that they pull out in a live performance...it's incredible.
Wow... just, Wow! This seems to me to be the most impressive display of musicality, in which even these creative beautiful sounds from unusually played instruments is still overshadowed by the simple beauty of a voice (or two; the back-ups are no slouches, either).
What an incredible voice! Wow.
Literally the 17th time I've watched this video.
Piker. I suspect that I'm on number 50, here. :)
This is pure beauty. Love it with ever cell of my body. ♥
This is actually prefect. What a musical genius.
I just saw them live a couple weeks ago...they were amazing!!

Someone needs to give the man a guitar
He's a great pianist, just by the way :) Listen to his "Great Escape" song....no turning back then :)
Graham Werner I love how he moves to the music - like he is channeling his energy not only through his voice. He is beautiful to listen to and to watch.
Love that too ... musical genius
