- With a gifted backing band on hand to help flesh out three songs from Adventures in Your Own Backyard, Watson conducts a swirl of interlocking loveliness that still finds room for surprises, from a singing saw to a microphone that makes his voice sound as if it's bouncing off some faraway satellite.
Set List:
"Adventures In Your Own Backyard"
"Words In The Fire"
"Into Giants"

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
Best thing I did was to book a flight to NY just to go see him live. Looking forward to it again.
I love.... Love how they use that Emmy award to make that sound.
I always wonder what kinda life the people might live who press the dislike button on clips like these. Wonderful Patrick Watson, I always love what he does.
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).
The best musician that I ever seen
This channel brings out the most underrated artists and i love it
He's great...i have all his albums!!!
Awesome, I want this!!!!!! MORE!!!!
Playing violin on a saw o_o These guys are talented :x
Sweet work as usual. spotted PW on blogotheque a few years back, glad to see he's still killin it.
AMAZING!
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
Viva la Vida!
I wish they did Lighthouse as well. But this is incredible.
I feel Lomax
Me Jane.
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 most underrated singer of all time
Let him be our little secret
Am telling you...
Agree
Yes, it’s so scary
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
The world isn't quite as awful when I listen to this
Aarti Vasudevan sike
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
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 want to go to a campfire party with Patrick Watson omg
Does someone else keep coming here to feel alive?
I've seen Emmy award winners play music but never an Emmy award player
Time line:
0:00 : Adventures In Your Own Backyard
5:10 : Words In The Fire
9:06 : Into Giants
ily
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
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.
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.
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 .
Literally the 17th time I've watched this video.
Piker. I suspect that I'm on number 50, here. :)
Patrick Watson is kind of hot, I guess.
his eyebrows are magnificent.
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.
WHAT THE HELL THIS IS SO PERFECT, IT DESERVES 3 MILLION VIEWS!!
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!
Si encontrás mi comentario, te quiero Belén.
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.
I've watched this vid more than any other vid on TH-cam...hand's down without a doubt.
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 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
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
Imagine a Coldplay and Patrick Watson collab
Thats Got to be the most creative session on tiny desk concert
Quando a pessoa sente a música é outro nível! Nossa o patrick é demais 🤧💜
This is hauntingly good music...the voice of the girl and the guy in harmony with that crazy effect sounds so beautiful to me.
No other video on youtube have I rewatched so many times. Beguiling set.
i saw the band live twice in Minneapolis. Never heard such a great band live!
Im back, again
Nobody cares 💞
Come back. Again.
is he playing a fucking saw haha awesome
'Into Giants' is a superb song and this version gives me goosebumps.
This is one of the most amazing displays of talent and musical genius I’ve ever seen. Just....wow!
I think I’m in love.
I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve come back & rewatched this over the years. So incredible, so gutting ..
favorito entre todos mis favoritos siempre
Put this on to listen to while I did something else... Didn't get to that other thing til 15 minutes later
God dammit Patrick, what are you doing with my emotions? I fucking love this man, and the whole band...
It is the right to free speech and expression that allows this band to exist. But If you dont agree with a comment then you remove it? It is the responsibility of all people to uphold our values and freedoms as laid out in the Bill of human rights Dont be self righteous and destroy freedom please
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 😢😢😢
Musica que llega al alma
muy poca gente tiene ese gusto por esa musica...
This is some interesting music, right here~ Felt like I was listening to film score from the get-go.
I love how he barely opened his eyes during Adventures into Your Own Backyard
Wonder if Shakey Graves knows he has a brother in Canada?
Thought the exact same! They're very complimentary too, folk rocky shakey and french indie vibes for patrick
here 9 years later. still beautiful
I love watching musicians who clearly FEEL the music. On another plane.
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 agree with you. It's one of the most unusual and original live performances I've seen, who sounds quite like this? Brilliant!
El mejor concierto que hemos ido en muchos años. Gracias !🤠 , desde Osorno🇨🇱🌎
just so beautiful
is it normal to have an emotional reaction to this song?
Howard Traylor absolutely 😊😊
God, he always has the best musicians. All the different colors that they pull out in a live performance...it's incredible.
They get paid for this right? Answer my question or i will poop your pants!
These are actually fairly similar to the album versions compared to how much he changes other songs in live performances. But still, fantastic. :) One of my favourite artists for sure.
Hey does anyone know what the instrument is called when they are playing Words in the Fire. The metal sheet thing. I wanna get one.
Sublime.
My life is only as good as it will be enjoyed.
what microphone is he using?
This has got to be one of my favourite tiny desk 🙂
who exactly are you talking too?
I take that back, that version of Into Giants is pretty different and giving me the goofiest smile. Haha
I love that sheet of metal instrument played with a violin bow! So awesome!
we call that "musical saw" ,)
"Into Giants" is my favourite ^_^

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 💋💋.
I'm crying.
Holy fucking shit.
It's funny that people are haterS are going to hate, when in reality it is a hater that is going to hate and his name is sirRandyTooth
kee loco papi
saw him las night. still can't stop shaking.
who is here in 2024?
God damn it, I was writing fast....seriously....mistake....As well, I'm a musical fanatic and kept getting Patrick WATSON confused with Patrick WILSON (who plays Raoul in the 2004 movie).
Viva la vida!!
the dude played a fuckin saw!
i wish patrick watson would write me a song at my campfire party /:
ahh beautiful music. like a breath of fresh air
Does anyone know how he's getting that feedback/distortion with the microphone? it looks like he is using a boss digital delay (maybe a 5 or 7?) and using the stereo outputs into those tiny amps. is the feedback coming from the pedal? or the amps facing each other?
pat tuman yeah I'm wondering if the mics just couldn't handle the amount of reverb coming out
There's no stereo setup on what looks like a DD-5 or 6, other amp is for the acoustic, he just has the little amp loud and those things distort very easily. It's just a consequence of a small amp/speaker and overloaded input. Honestly I think the opening song sounds awful, even though I love the song.
It's a Boss DD-3 and it's distorting because the speaker or amp (do not remember what his voice was coming out of on this session) can't handle the gain. I'm sure of this, as I was standing beside him playing guitar.
that sirRandyTooth guy is a chronic npr troll
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!!! ...
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
