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.
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 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.
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
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!
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.
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!!🎶🇨🇦
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!!!
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.
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).
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 😢😢😢
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 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.
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!!! ...
Put your words into the fire Watch them burn your heart's desires Rise up in the air In a cloud of silk and smoke and dust Fade into the night It's a comforting feeling with you at my side Let me shake your honest hands And I'll sit down beside you know Lean our heavy heads Of the weight of the things that are left unsaid Don't worry about it now 'Cause in the morning they will all just be ashes on the ground So what's been on your mind Eating you inside Taking all of your time On this warm summer night Put your words down in the fire When we were down at sandy beach Old man talking in young man's words Tell me where you would like to be Tonight, don't be afraid to dream Lean on the fire for a while 'Cause in the morning it will all just be ashes on the ground So what's been on your mind Eating you inside Taking all of your time On this warm summer night Put those words down in the fire
Twelve steps in to your backyard Through tall green grass, and into the world Ain't it feel right Ain't it feel nice In your own backyard A dirty winding road, around your feet That carries me along and into the beat Didn't need to go so far To find what you were thirsty for Didn't need to go so far To find what you were looking for Cause it was always beside Just right behind Right up ahead You just didn't know What was in your own backyard Twelve steps in to your own backyard Twelve steps in to your own backyard Twelve steps in to your own backyard Twelve steps in to your own backyard
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.
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!!🙄
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.
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 TH-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
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.
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.
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
Time line:
0:00 : Adventures In Your Own Backyard
5:10 : Words In The Fire
9:06 : Into Giants
ily
gracias
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 love watching musicians who clearly FEEL the music. On another plane.
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.

I've seen Emmy award winners play music but never an Emmy award player
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’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.
here 9 years later. still beautiful
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 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.
Thats Got to be the most creative session on tiny desk concert
This is hauntingly good music...the voice of the girl and the guy in harmony with that crazy effect sounds so beautiful to me.
Best thing I did was to book a flight to NY just to go see him live. Looking forward to it again.
'Into Giants' is a superb song and this version gives me goosebumps.
i saw the band live twice in Minneapolis. Never heard such a great band live!
WHAT THE HELL THIS IS SO PERFECT, IT DESERVES 3 MILLION VIEWS!!
I've watched this vid more than any other vid on TH-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... th-cam.com/video/YoGMVdjU9B4/w-d-xo.html
I think I’m in love.
No other video on youtube have I rewatched so many times. Beguiling set.
This is one of the most amazing displays of talent and musical genius I’ve ever seen. Just....wow!
I agree with you. It's one of the most unusual and original live performances I've seen, who sounds quite like this? Brilliant!
God, he always has the best musicians. All the different colors that they pull out in a live performance...it's incredible.
I love this man and his band so so so so so much!
Patrick Watson is just simply amazing.
enough said.
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!!!
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 💋💋.
his eyebrows are magnificent.
I love.... Love how they use that Emmy award to make that sound.
Does someone else keep coming here to feel alive?
This has got to be one of my favourite tiny desk 🙂
El mejor concierto que hemos ido en muchos años. Gracias !🤠 , desde Osorno🇨🇱🌎
I love that sheet of metal instrument played with a violin bow! So awesome!
we call that "musical saw" ,)
Quando a pessoa sente a música é outro nível! Nossa o patrick é demais 🤧💜
what a great album loved it when it came out still one of the best bands out there!! real music craftsmanship right there..
My life is only as good as it will be enjoyed.
This is actually prefect. What a musical genius.
This channel brings out the most underrated artists and i love it
saw him las night. still can't stop shaking.
Love the style, clean sound, range. Makes you pay attention.
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.
My mind and body and everything is blown.
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).
'Close to Paradise' has become one of my all time fav albums.
Such a lovely version of Into Giants in this setting! Kudos from Canada for this!
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 😢😢😢
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.
Literally the 17th time I've watched this video.
Piker. I suspect that I'm on number 50, here. :)
The best musician that I ever seen
The band is amzing... Love that sound of the guiter
so beautiful
This is one of my favorite things on this planet
ahh beautiful music. like a breath of fresh air
This is pure beauty. Love it with ever cell of my body. ♥
first time listener and must say, a great voice and guitarist to match that very cool
Gracias Patrick Watson por tu hermosa música!!
He's the best! Thank you NPR.
The first song: such an amazing travel with "only" 5 people on stage !!
What an incredible voice! Wow.
Musica que llega al alma
muy poca gente tiene ese gusto por esa musica...
I just saw them live a couple weeks ago...they were amazing!!
I love how he barely opened his eyes during Adventures into Your Own Backyard
El mejor artista que te hace sentir en otra dimensión 🥰🥰
Brutally beautiful.
I always come back to this
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.
I'm crying.
wow what a voice and one hell of a band!
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.
This is pure love for your ears...
Just beautiful
Cara que som incrível!! Amo sua música Patrick!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
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.
favorito entre todos mis favoritos siempre

This man comes from between the lines of my memories.
That was nonsense
Awesome, I want this!!!!!! MORE!!!!
Just beautiful 🌞
He's great...i have all his albums!!!
Put your words into the fire
Watch them burn your heart's desires
Rise up in the air
In a cloud of silk and smoke and dust
Fade into the night
It's a comforting feeling with you at my side
Let me shake your honest hands
And I'll sit down beside you know
Lean our heavy heads
Of the weight of the things that are left unsaid
Don't worry about it now
'Cause in the morning they will all just be ashes on the ground
So what's been on your mind
Eating you inside
Taking all of your time
On this warm summer night
Put your words down in the fire
When we were down at sandy beach
Old man talking in young man's words
Tell me where you would like to be
Tonight, don't be afraid to dream
Lean on the fire for a while
'Cause in the morning it will all just be ashes on the ground
So what's been on your mind
Eating you inside
Taking all of your time
On this warm summer night
Put those words down in the fire
Twelve steps in to your backyard
Through tall green grass, and into the world
Ain't it feel right
Ain't it feel nice
In your own backyard
A dirty winding road, around your feet
That carries me along
and into the beat
Didn't need to go so far
To find what you were thirsty for
Didn't need to go so far
To find what you were looking for
Cause it was always beside
Just right behind
Right up ahead
You just didn't know
What was in your own backyard
Twelve steps in to your own backyard
Twelve steps in to your own backyard
Twelve steps in to your own backyard
Twelve steps in to your own backyard
Sublime.
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 .
thank you so much, goes all the way to ...
Que maravilloso❤
La vida acompañada de esta melodía se siente mejor.
Honey to my ears
