My Father died this May. He had a big influence in my taste of music, politics, and the way i see the world today. We played that song at his burial at sea... the melody sounded loud over the smashing waves and the crying of the Seagulls, it was one of the most beautifull and sad things i experienced in my life, but i hardly believe that he would have loved it, because it united the two things he loved most in life: The open wide ocean and this beautifull music. I can not listen to this song without crying, though i love it because it reminds me so much on my father...
Antonia es uno de los temas más queridos de Pat Metheny. La introducción y primera melodía interpretadas por el acordeón con sensación de ausencia de tiempo (no se trataba de un acordeón real, sino del synclavier) transportan al oyente a un estado de suma placidez. La entrada de la sección rítmica y el solo de guitarra, uno de los mejores jamás grabados por Metheny, elevan dicho estado a cotas inimaginables. El estilo y la clase con que se vuelve a la melodía final, y ese leve silbido que profiere Nana Vasconcelos, son detalles impagables. (TomaJazz)
All his songs are really more than music ... they make me cry, they make me laugh, marvel & surprised. Every time i hear him playing, it is a new adventure. And it is also a secret ... I wonder where he buys those striped Shirts ...lol
Antonio me hace recordar a mi querida madre, su vida, sus luchas y batallas, y siempre lloro, pero un llanto de esperanza de poder encontrarnos nuevamente algún dia!
Sensuel, dans l'émotion, on se laisse emporter et la vie prend un bon chemin avec ces vrais musiciens que j'aime à écouter depuis déjà pas mal d'années...Excellent...
GREAT song. This "Antonia" must be (or have been) quite jewel of a lady. He laid a beautiful track for her with a multi-dimensional structure that takes you through sweet smooth vibes to a mid & up-tempo snappy groove. Pat Metheny never loses a beat in the process of delivering this polished gem.
A tender and beautiful melody, clearly inspired by someone dear. Love the accordion accompaniment, they could have easily used a synthesizer, but the effect and visuals wouldn't be the same.
A favorite of mine. Note that the guitar part (PM) is accompanied by accordion (David Blamires) and whistling by the late, great Mark Ledford. If you watch the video “We live here” where this performance was taken, you will find out David Blamires does not play the accordion and learned this part on the accordion just for this song. He is a versatile and highly sought after musician who can play multiple instruments and sing. The same was true of Mark Ledford.
It truly is! What's funny to me is that as I was hearing the accordian I was thinking how much more tango-like it would be with an authentic bandoneon, like Astor's! LOL
Este tema, escrito por Metheny, tiene un tremendo aire de tango. Pertenece al álbum Secret Story (tal vez uno de sus mejores álbumes )de 1992. Tuve la alegría de verlo en ese año con esa formación (David Blamires en acordeón,Mark Ledford en voces, Gil Goldstein en teclados ,Steve Rodby en base y Paul Wertico en batería
Mr. Metheny is peculiarly methodical in an approach to his interpretation of an original score by another artist -- and he does it much better than most with little feedback from the original composer, who's thrilled to his/her hip-joints PM even considered doing a rendition of it(!) Well, how would you feel if a million-selling world-renowned artist decided to invest his own effort into a song you'd spent blood, sweat, years and tears to create and get published...? ...with, hopefully, a modicum of success? Can you pronounce the word, 'jump' ...?
@PurplePlayer99 I know when he played this so many years ago in Atlanta, a lady went up to him after the song ended and they kissed. At he time we were told that was his girlfriend.
Quelle musique !!!!! Piazzolla n'est pas loin ... mais Pat est dedans .... ce sont les yeux un peu humides que je découvre et que j'écoute cette osmose musicale .....
Pat's music is universal. Listening his songs, you will perhaps think it's a simple fusion. Big mistake! critics non-musicians will never understanding the simplicity is a lot harder to transmit to the audience. Remember, if you se a rose will admire it, never really thinking the complexity of it. Just because Pat's songs are easy-listen, doesn't mean his music has no value, just the other way around. Musicians will always enjoy and play his songs for what matter most: beautifull

I'm assuming that you meant *whole-heartedly* ... RIP to your father and to Lyle Mays
I so sorry,my father died to i sure to him love this song

God used Pat for send message´s to Us.
This guy is truly the greatest musician on earth.
I disagree in the universe ✨️
My favorite tune from Pat. That says alot. He doesn't just make music, he makes moods

Con aires de Piazzolla

Saint James.
French brand.
The only one.
A friend I've know since age 1 died yesterday... and we shared a love for this tune. It's fitting on his passing. RIP Graham.
Antonio me hace recordar a mi querida madre, su vida, sus luchas y batallas, y siempre lloro, pero un llanto de esperanza de poder encontrarnos nuevamente algún dia!
❤
Definitivamente pienso que Pat Metheny es un músico iluminado. ¡Qué gran creación!
Absolute masterpiece/masterclass, harmonious, soulful, poetic, journey/odyssey of a song!
"Pat Metheny Group" music forever!
Pat make me go to Eter.
Pure art, candy for my ears.
Food for my soul.
Sensuel, dans l'émotion, on se laisse emporter et la vie prend un bon chemin avec ces vrais musiciens que j'aime à écouter depuis déjà pas mal d'années...Excellent...
Esta obra de arte daqui 100 anos será reverenciada como obra prima... toca a alma dos sensíveis.
Great instrumentation on this song-I love the whistled theme.
While "Spring ain't here!" is my favorite PM song, this is
a close second. Thank you.
What a disturbingly beautiful piece of music
Antonia, you are one lucky lady.
Me hace llorar...la escuchaba un año antes de casarme...me emociona😊
I just love this tune! Reminds me of walking along , alone past a fall burst of tree color on a winding lonely country road in Wisconsin.
I can't believe this album was 1992. Pat's always so ahead of his time.
Queeee barbaridad de canción... ... ... no me canso de escucharla...!!!
Epically beautiful
Antonia, this song is my favorite and the sensibility are fantastic.... I love
GREAT song. This "Antonia" must be (or have been) quite jewel of a lady. He laid a beautiful track for her with a multi-dimensional structure that takes you through sweet smooth vibes to a mid & up-tempo snappy groove. Pat Metheny never loses a beat in the process of delivering this polished gem.

Best story
Música que faz bem a alma! Pat é espetacular!!!!
A tender and beautiful melody, clearly inspired by someone dear.
Love the accordion accompaniment, they could have easily used a synthesizer, but the effect and visuals wouldn't be the same.
Sensacional, sensible, simplemente precioso...!!
Molt emotiu!!!

Patty forever!! He must be deeply in Love while writing this wonderful piece of music!
The best of the best of Pat Metheny

Tiene una onda francesa muy fuerte...lindo tema , con un instrumento típico francés como el acordeón...hermosa canción.

I never tire of this tune.
This piece goes to a place in my heart which I can only describe as Hiliech
More than nice

It truly is! What's funny to me is that as I was hearing the accordian I was thinking how much more tango-like it would be with an authentic bandoneon, like Astor's! LOL
any BODY who enjoys creativity should listen to Pat Metheny

y Nana Vasconcelos a las percusiones
EXCELENTE!!!
In my view, simply bursts Brazilian Matheny ... ... Bravo!
My sister's name was gonna be Antonia because of this song... sadly my mother said no...
Perfect 🌷

Alguien lo tenia que ver,... Esa introduccion más piazzolleana no podia ser...!!
*RIP Mark Ledford (guy doing the "whistling" in this song) and Lyle Mays* (I think Gil Goldstein did keyboards on this particular concert)

PRECIOSÍSIMA CANCIÓN, me llega a lo más profundo....¿quién la escribió?
Anyone know if this song was dedicated to someone. Love the solo section, so simple but fun to play to
aire tanguero posmoderno por ahi...
I have a niece named Antonia. She's crazy. This song as amazing though.
@Nagao21 -Yes from 3.14 we get to groove from deep inside with life.
Tango like twists and turns and dips this is like a wonderful erotic dance! Thank you for posting this!
Who else is playing? I'd be interested to know. Thank you
Hommage to Piazzola? Maybe?
Suena muy tango, probablemente sea como tú dices
No creo.
موسيقى حلقة وطاويط المدينة. مرايا ياسر العظمة
