Lyle and Pat. When we're all long gone, I have no doubt they will be looked upon as one the greatest writing team ever. Just amazing what the PMG has put out over the last 40 years.
One of the most beautiful pieces of music I have ever heard... heard it first back in 1984 from the "Travels" album and it changed my life. Call me a Methhead but I love Pat's music more than life itself. I can't imagine a day without listening to him play. Thanks Pat!
As many times as I've heard this (many!), I never tire of it. It's beautiful, relaxing and shows what real music is: It's about experience, love, loss, coping and yet finding that place that connects you with the one and all. This music (and many pieces of Lyle and Pat's) do that for so many. They are old, deep souls, looking to share with us. Amen...
Whenever I hear this song, I see myself @ age 7 w/ my Farmer uncle on summer evenings on the back of his tractor "disking" the fields...The Sun setting on one side, us in the valley, and the Mountains in the distance. The birds following our path through the rich soil. just us. just life...
This tune illustrates Lyle's brilliant synth programming and ability to provide a canvas on which Pat can paint. In 35 years, I've heard NO ONE ELSE reproduce the warm strings and pads Lyle does. He uses almost NO preprogrammed factory synthesis; he creates his own.
Nasci na roça aqui no Brasil, lá pelos anos 70 , 80 conheci o country americano com Jonh willlians. Em 80 e90 conheci o jazz com essa banda. Nada me impressionou tanto, até q comecei a louvar a Deus.
I may have taken the time to comment on this wonderful video of Pat and Lyle's music before, but I listen to this so often, in so many moods, and yet it always rings true and beautiful. Why this music seems timeless is because it reflects both the beauty and the complexity of life at this point in time. This song can heal because it is outside of the boundaries of ego, and is just to be experienced. Thank you Pat, Lyle, Steve and the rest of the band, and thanks, KLaurent13 for keeping it here.
It comes to my mind during times when I want to reconnect with essential things in my life. A private place in my heart. Quite often I return to a place where I relive the deepest part of my humanity -- memories of the most amazing souls I lost to an early death.
Pat y Lyle son como Dioses de la música, yo también no paso ni 1 solo día sin escuchar alguna de sus fantásticas producciones. Para mí son sin duda de los mejores músicos de la historia. Lyle ya no estás pero es como si no te hubieras ido. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I had the good fortune to hear Pat play this with his current band at the Barre Opera House (Barre, VT) on Jan 14, 2017. As you might expect it was exquisite. Get out and hear them if you can!
What sets Pat apart from any contemporary "guitar god" type players is his music, which is always more important than his virtuosity. Pats melody's say more to me than any lyric ever written could.
Along with "Farmer's Trust" and "Letter from Home", PMG's song "If I Could" is another one that I never get tired of listening to... very "hypnotic" (in a good way, of course!)
Delicate, delicious, sumptuous, silky, emotional, damn near perfect. If you love Farmer's Trust, you must also hear Letter from Home. Both are hypnotic and virtuoso compositions.
@@spookedhorse I showed my 10 and 13yr old kids Fandango this summer. It clearly did not move them the way it did me. Maybe it would have if they saw it at 15 like I did.
Listening to Metheny playing nylon I prefer the Ovation's sound (smooth, mellow, voluminous) to that of Linda Manzer's fine instruments (almost coarse and flat at times, you can hear the fingers working the strings, it seems har work to play these). I find it interesting how Ovations practically vanished from the stages today and would be curious on a professional musician's opinion or expertise here.
Dulzura inefable que calma y suaviza como en suave vaivén. Ir y venir de olas mojan finas arenas con su eterno sonar. Y la brisa sopla frágil desatando girones del pelo Mientras, las luciérnagas del cielo refulgen y mecen Acurrucándose en mis sueños.
@andrewgrosman Oh, man! does that statement ever hit home with me. Fandango is probably my favorite movie of all time. The Pat Methany songs at the end are all so soothing...
THE Groovers........ what a great film. Kevin in his earlier days..... so good. "Do you boys ever drink beer ?". "Well yeah, sometimes.... on occasion."
> Classical guitar is a style of guitar which is > played on nylon string acoustic guitars Yes, but it's also a type of guitar, sometimes referred to as a Spanish gtr. And a Flamenco guitar is a style of nylon str guitar, which differs from a "regular" classical in its construction. That gtr of Pat's is an Ovation, which I might call simply a nylon string, since it's of nontraditional construction. Though typically "classical" is used as the generic term for nylon str guitar.
Peace and Love to all Meth-Heads from Xorxx and lineage. As you know, our plan is to bring Lyle and Pat home Dec.20, 012, and we are now offering limited space aboard our Mentor vehicles for humans who love their music so much they could not bear life without it. The trix, of course, is that only we know who really are those humans. We have our list and shall check it twice; do not be naughty, be nice; cool as ice; hearts must still be able to leap as a child's would for your Santa. Goodwill!
No it doesn't. That is a nylon string. The strings on this sort of guitar are nylon string, so it is a nylon string guitar. Steel string guitars have steel cored string. Both steel string and nylon string guitars are acoustic (Acoustic being defined as "Of or being an instrument that does not produce or enhance sound electronically") as apposed to an electric guitar. Classical guitar is a style of guitar which is played on nylon string acoustic guitars
@NorthLight68 I SO agree with you.. lyrics... they don't say me anything, neither can they make me FEEL anything - that is why dislike Bob Dylan, Tom Waits a.s.o. they just HURT my ears!
You are not listening to Pat Metheny, you are listening to Lyle Mays. That has been proven beyond doubt if you consider Methenys output after Lyle left him. Unfortunately Metheny has never been even close in releasing anything lasting since then. He has tried....in vain

the perfect Lyle's pad in background. The master !

My wedding waltz 30 years ago. Still moves me....
sublime....RIP Lyle Mays.
Practically brings me to tears every time.
Such Soul! Deeply Soulful Music! Farmers Trust has been “Our Song” for my wife and I for 35+ years. 😊🙏🏻
Lyle's background tones and guidance for this melody is beyond quantum.
You can say🌊
the emotion and depth of Pat's playing on the particular tune is beyond words:)
One of my all time favs. Bravo Pat... Bravo.
Timeless beauty from Mays and Metheny...again.
What a remarkable, exquisite, exceptional man you are, Pat Metheny. Beautiful.

One of my favourite songs. My stepfather was listening this song back in the 80's. He still has the good old vinyl discs;-)
A gift to the ears. A balm that quiets the soul.
I'm in heaven when I listen to this tune:)

Thanks Kalurent13!
Pat takes me threw a collage of my past everytime...Sweet memories.

So touching this music softly played and kind🌞💛🧡❤️💚💙
Best song ever!
"Farmer's trust" in Travels is my lifetune.
Home at heart - genuine standard classic !
This song is about life. Nothing else.
昔見た映画「ファンダンゴ」のラストに使われていました。この映画も曲も大好きでした。drewinator 3 さんのコメントはその最後のセリフですね。久しぶりに聞けて嬉しかったです、ありがとう！

In 1978 I had the chance to go to dinner and see his show .i was into Cobham and The Crusaders Ievery day I regret NOT going.

Travels. More travels. The road to you.......
@@plan075025 *The Road to You* ... I was just listening to the title track... something about THAT song that just gets me.....
Beautiful ☺️ loved Pat for years saw him twice in concert; this song is just about my favorite
perfection exists

So beautiful
New suscriber I am
Delicate, delicious, sumptuous, silky, emotional, damn near perfect. If you love Farmer's Trust, you must also hear Letter from Home. Both are hypnotic and virtuoso compositions.
thank you friend
That song from the Deer Hunter is called "Cavatina"... another beautiful song and melody.
sublime
"Goodbye friend."
Have a nice life.
: )
Gardner didn't say goodbye
@@AndrewGrosman That line/moment always gets me. Reminds me of saying goodbye to my high school buddies, when I moved away, for college.
@@TerryBohn Neither will I...

It is just sublime.

I find it interesting how Ovations practically vanished from the stages today and would be curious on a professional musician's opinion or expertise here.
I'm guessing it has a lot to do with strings, and what the instrument is being fed into/through.
You make me feel so sad... Everytime~!
Dulzura inefable que calma y suaviza como en suave vaivén.

I played this tune in high school. A girl sat outside and listened...
@drewinator
Great scene and great movie (for those who don't know, it's 'Fandango')
Chaque matin est une nouvelle vie qui commence!
very nice ! ですね...live in Japan...

Yes, but it's also a type of guitar, sometimes referred to as a Spanish gtr. And a Flamenco guitar is a style of nylon str guitar, which differs from a "regular" classical in its construction. That gtr of Pat's is an Ovation, which I might call simply a nylon string, since it's of nontraditional construction. Though typically "classical" is used as the generic term for nylon str guitar.
Love you for ever!❤️🌈🦋
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
haaa thanks for the info, i stand corrected
This reminds me of a week I spent next to the Pacific Ocean with another artist.

I sound like an old man but what a great movie! Hollywood used (USED) to make great movies.
no se puede tocar mas bonito
4:14, 4:52 *that xylophone, though... nice touch!!*
Glockenspiel.
Also used on First Circle.
Beautiful.
@@jjsc4396 *thanks for the correction!* 😁
try pat's "dream of the return" leonard cohen's "here it is" just like great music, great words will always have their place time.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉
4:05 *Steve Rodby on the bass, tho!!!!* DAMN!!
Funny but steve was the backbone for all that great music we all love
@@thomasburrow783 Yes! Without a strong "base line", those songs just wouldn't have been the same.....
Acoustic. Classical is a style of music.
He is the Rachmaninov of jazz
No it doesn't. That is a nylon string. The strings on this sort of guitar are nylon string, so it is a nylon string guitar. Steel string guitars have steel cored string. Both steel string and nylon string guitars are acoustic (Acoustic being defined as "Of or being an instrument that does not produce or enhance sound electronically") as apposed to an electric guitar. Classical guitar is a style of guitar which is played on nylon string acoustic guitars
That's a Classical guitar - and the definition Classical stands for the three up strings being made of a kind of plastic and not metal as in acustic:)
@drewinator On s'comprend l'ami!Have a beautifull long nice life!!! It's 4 U!
wow hear this???????
How many striped blue shirts does this guy own???
Lots

Pat sévèrement critiqué par beaucoup, lui-meme sévèrement critique envers certains,à juste titre d'ailleurs!!!
