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.
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.
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.
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
Great concert in Toronto last night (Meridian Ctr). His voice soars, melodic, expressive. So natural and relaxed, having fun and loving his own shared experience. Full Philharmonic orchestra and choir (his dream realized). Wonderful instrumentation and interesting lyrics. And...that laugh...joyous!!🎶🇨🇦
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!
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
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.
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
Such a talent. Proudly Canadien. A great hockey player. A better musician. What an absolute treat to our ears and lives. This is M.Night.Shyamalam in musical form!!!
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).
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.
his voice is unique. and if you look into more of his music before judging, you may think twice before posting hate. i thoroughly enjoyed this and will continue to support him from now on.
Este video me recuerda muchas cosas y cada cierto tiempo lo vengo a ver para recordar lo bonito que e pasado y es triste saber q a veces algunas cosas importantes cambian 😢😢😢
He seems like an odd fellow. I might or might not want to have a conversation with him. Probably not, because I'd rather listen to his music. This is not a criticism. His music is so beautiful that I would choose it over all but the most impressive of conversation. And he surrounds himself with extremely [multi] talented backing musicians. What a confluence of talent and apparent onstage respect. What a beautifully layered unique product their gripping music is.
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.
Janeiro de 2014: (...) acabo de encontrar o video deste cara, Patrick Watson:" Adventures in your own backyard" ...Música belíssima!!!, inacreditavelmente muito bem composta, hiper harmoniosa, agradável aos ouvidos e uma delícia pro coração! Eles misturam tons e criam um universo sonoro espetacular: muito, mas muito mesmo, criativos! Os caras do conjunto dão-nos uma inspiração mágica (...) e o vocalista realiza umas manobras vocais muito, muito, mas muito mesmo agradáveis!!! Cara, se eu morasse na cidade de voces eu gostaria de estar próximo de vocês, me esforçaria para ser um dos seus amigos...Vocês devem ser muito legais!!! Congratulações para todo o sempre!!! ...
sorry Simon - sorry Pat I try to keep up with your work but this one slipped by.. Watching this was truly super duper! You really fill even the tiniest room with great atmosphere.. much love
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
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!!🙄
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
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
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.
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 want to go to a campfire party with Patrick Watson omg
The world isn't quite as awful when I listen to this
Aarti Vasudevan sike
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.

I love watching musicians who clearly FEEL the music. On another plane.

I've seen Emmy award winners play music but never an Emmy award player
I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve come back & rewatched this over the years. So incredible, so gutting ..
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.
Time line:
0:00 : Adventures In Your Own Backyard
5:10 : Words In The Fire
9:06 : Into Giants
ily
gracias
Thats Got to be the most creative session on tiny desk concert
Best thing I did was to book a flight to NY just to go see him live. Looking forward to it again.
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.
here 9 years later. still beautiful
i saw the band live twice in Minneapolis. Never heard such a great band live!
This is hauntingly good music...the voice of the girl and the guy in harmony with that crazy effect sounds so beautiful to me.
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.
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
No other video on youtube have I rewatched so many times. Beguiling set.
his eyebrows are magnificent.
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
God, he always has the best musicians. All the different colors that they pull out in a live performance...it's incredible.
I agree with you. It's one of the most unusual and original live performances I've seen, who sounds quite like this? Brilliant!
This is one of the most amazing displays of talent and musical genius I’ve ever seen. Just....wow!
'Into Giants' is a superb song and this version gives me goosebumps.
Does someone else keep coming here to feel alive?
I love.... Love how they use that Emmy award to make that sound.
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
Such a talent. Proudly Canadien. A great hockey player. A better musician. What an absolute treat to our ears and lives. This is M.Night.Shyamalam in musical form!!!
I think I’m in love.
Such a great artists, it's an amazing feeling just listen to them, Patrick has the most beautiful voice ever.
Hey friend its me Patrick Watson you're welcome to my world 🌎 of friendship.I really appreciate you for supporting my music 💋💋.
This has got to be one of my favourite tiny desk 🙂
I love this man and his band so so so so so much!
I love that sheet of metal instrument played with a violin bow! So awesome!
we call that "musical saw" ,)
El mejor concierto que hemos ido en muchos años. Gracias !🤠 , desde Osorno🇨🇱🌎
Patrick Watson is just simply amazing.
enough said.
This is actually prefect. What a musical genius.
My life is only as good as it will be enjoyed.
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
what a great album loved it when it came out still one of the best bands out there!! real music craftsmanship right there..
Love the style, clean sound, range. Makes you pay attention.
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).
Literally the 17th time I've watched this video.
Piker. I suspect that I'm on number 50, here. :)
saw him las night. still can't stop shaking.
Quando a pessoa sente a música é outro nível! Nossa o patrick é demais 🤧💜
'Close to Paradise' has become one of my all time fav albums.
first time listener and must say, a great voice and guitarist to match that very cool
I love how he barely opened his eyes during Adventures into Your Own Backyard
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.
ahh beautiful music. like a breath of fresh air
My mind and body and everything is blown.
his voice is unique. and if you look into more of his music before judging, you may think twice before posting hate. i thoroughly enjoyed this and will continue to support him from now on.
Why would people dislike this? It's good.
***** Because they don't understand it. Most people need to train their ears to be able to appreciate the brilliance of this music.
This is one of my favorite things on this planet
The band is amzing... Love that sound of the guiter
so beautiful
The best musician that I ever seen
He's the best! Thank you NPR.
Este video me recuerda muchas cosas y cada cierto tiempo lo vengo a ver para recordar lo bonito que e pasado y es triste saber q a veces algunas cosas importantes cambian 😢😢😢
Awesome, I want this!!!!!! MORE!!!!
What an incredible voice! Wow.
This is some interesting music, right here~ Felt like I was listening to film score from the get-go.
This man comes from between the lines of my memories.
That was nonsense
wow what a voice and one hell of a band!
I just saw them live a couple weeks ago...they were amazing!!
El mejor artista que te hace sentir en otra dimensión 🥰🥰
The first song: such an amazing travel with "only" 5 people on stage !!
This is pure beauty. Love it with ever cell of my body. ♥
Brutally beautiful.
thank you, i thought so. it sounds so amazingg and beautiful. thank you once again i love you
He seems like an odd fellow. I might or might not want to have a conversation with him. Probably not, because I'd rather listen to his music.
This is not a criticism. His music is so beautiful that I would choose it over all but the most impressive of conversation.
And he surrounds himself with extremely [multi] talented backing musicians. What a confluence of talent and apparent onstage respect. What a beautifully layered unique product their gripping music is.
True artists are often ‘weird’ by society’s standards.
I'm crying.
This is pure love for your ears...
He's great...i have all his albums!!!
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.
Just beautiful
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
El esta tocando otro instrumento , su alma .
Just beautiful 🌞
Sweet work as usual. spotted PW on blogotheque a few years back, glad to see he's still killin it.

I always come back to this
sorry Simon - sorry Pat I try to keep up with your work but this one slipped by.. Watching this was truly super duper! You really fill even the tiniest room with great atmosphere.. much love
Musica que llega al alma
muy poca gente tiene ese gusto por esa musica...
thank you so much, goes all the way to ...
When he hold that mic with the delay, this is the back ground music to my dreams
Honey to my ears
epic voice epic music ,,,,I love
AMAZING!
