    I had bought this album in La Guadeloupe during my military service in 1990's
    whitout knowing him my life has changes since. I didn't know that this kind of sound could exist, really. the use of colours and rythm trough his music it is just unreal. anyway.
    God bless him and his music . thank you Mr Pat Metheny

    Oh yeah! You've just gotta laugh after hearing this song. This song is like a warm, tropical breeze after that awful storm that came and scattered everything all over the place. Then, someone, or two, comes along and helps you find everything and put it all back in place with you, expecting nothing in return. (That's happened to me.) After everything's all back in place, they give you a hug and a cheerful peck on the cheek, and you know you've just been so blessed. Today, they're my neighbors! They love this music, too!

      @@garrybelt5458 This and "Slip Away" do it every time for me. I asked my neurosurgeon to play "Slip Away" before I was anesthetized, as I was having major brain surgery in 2009, and the whole team loved that entire album. They played it and more during that surgery, and as I listened to it, I felt all the love from my extended family along with my friends. Even today, I absolutely love his music. The album "Secret Story" is another one of my favorite albums.

      @@elbedregal Music helped me too and I offer this thought: in joyous music is heard direct evidence of the universe's benign nature, our only hope, since how else could music be ? Musically, this joy is heard in resolution of subtle harmonic tension (eg this song's bridge/interlude, 2.05-2.11), with shifting chords over a bass pedal), perhaps our act of questioning, followed by resolution to a major key, the universe's answer. Here, the brite-tempo, syncopated melody and samba bounce leave us with extra fizz and happiness when it resolves. Peace and thanks for posting
