OMG...I JUST TURNED 93 and today is the 1st time that I was introduced to this genius. I always admired Larry Adler,but today heard Toots and can’t get enough of his performances..I have saved the site and will probably listened to him everyday..thanks TH-cam...Chester Capponi from Burlington ont Canada
Incredible song that evokes romance, walks along the beach, vistas from a mountaintop, sharing smiles over coffee - and so much more. Pat's music has no nationality. It speaks across oceans and borders. It is a universal 'language' that brings a quiet smile to the world. What a gift.

DIEU est descendu un jour sur terre et il s'est déguisé en PAT METHENY pour composer ce chef-d'œuvre absolu cet Himalaya musical ce joyau éternel.ce morceau dédié à ses parents lois et Dave metheny.je l'ai vu souvent en concert à Paris bien sûr et inutile de vous dire qu'à chaque fois c'était SUBLIME ( avec le PAT METHENY GROUP qui est pour moi le plus extraordinaire groupe du 20 ème siècle sans contestation possible !!!!!!!!!! Amicalement Guy
To me it's not romantic but far more of a reassuring, soothing atmosphere, like all is right with the world or soon will be. It sounds like family-ness at its best. Like walking through the neighborhood on Thanksgiving Day and smelling all the food cooking and coming back to your own house where family and friends are playing a board game in one room, others are watching the game and all is calm.
Very well put, Doug. I've been a fan since '84 and he always takes me places I've never been but would love to see. Sunset on a beach in Brazil, maybe. The gray skies of Missouri.
When I was 22, I was listening to this song, again and again without a particular emotion.. Good vibrations, no more... Beautiful of course... Today, as I am 49, I can cry ... at last
I first discovered Pat in the early 80's while staying up till 3 am studying for my college finals and was able to picked up a distant FM station that played jazz. I now have all of his releases and have seen him live in concert four times.
due geni assoluti, due miti viventi...gente che ha l'anima visibile, che si palesa nella musica..solo così si può capire come si possa fare della musica simile..che tocca l'insondabile dentro di noi...grazie Pat, Grazie Toots..grazie per tutta la vita...
This song has that rare thoughtful sensitivity and warmth that make some music truly transcendent! I can always count on it to sooth my jangled nerves and make me feel that every thing will be OK.
Love the way Toots introduces his harmonic styling on the new phrase at 3:53. It adds that special sound to Pat's mellow guitar solo. The strings create a misty dimension...somewhere out there in time.
Secret story is one of Pat’s most diverse and worldly albums (and one my favorite of his in addition to letter from home) . His guests including Toots and London Symphony brings out the multi layer depth of emotion he delivers within his writing. I think Pat said he wrote this for his parents.
una larga caminata en un atardecer soleado, donde vamos dejando que el sol se vaya escondiendo de a poco, entre las montañas, tiñendo de un rojo pálido todo el paisaje, dando paso a una noche estrellada que se hace esperar, y que culmina con la armónica de Toots Thielemans, invitándonos a la tranquilidad; todo eso me transmite esta hermosa canción
Since discovering "The Pat Metheny Group" while living in New York City in `79 I've been listening to Pat's progression as an artist. Fascinating musician! Simply great!!! And a duet with Toots no less!!!
que dire quel mot utiliser pour décrire ces 6 minutes d'éternité !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PAT METHENY est le plus grand génie de l'histoire de la musique tout simplement !!!!!!!!!!!!!! un moment où le temps suspend son vol.le pouvoir d'évocation de cette merveille est totalement renversant. quand a la performance du prodige TOOTS THIELEMANS à l'hamonica ( c' était probablement à cette époque le plus grand harmoniciste vivant malheureusement il nous a quitté récemment) elle rend totalement justice a ce joyau absolu.ecoutez et réécoutez vous ne vous lasserez jamais !!!!!!!!!!!! dernière chose cette merveille à été composée en hommage à ses parents lois et Dave metheny. un jalon important dans l'histoire de la musique !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! la musique de METHENY nous trenscende et nous rend meilleur au delà du temps et de l'espace !!!!!!!!!!! dans mille ans on sera toujours aussi ébahi devant le talent de cet extra terrestre de la musique !!!!!!!!!!!!! TOUT SIMPLEMENT MIRACULEUX !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LE GRAAL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GUY
Toots is a melody, Jos Meurrens. a perfect, harmonious, beautiful, everlasting melody. I've always been in love with his talent. there must be a Heaven for all those wonderful souls like his to be.
I saw Pat Metheny in Seattle on the tour following the release of Secret Story. Every song was played perfectly, with the edge that a live nine man group brings to a venue. One of the great musicians of our time, without question.
Thank you Loraine, As I am a lover of fine music and heard Toots's talents from Pat Metheny and hs collaboration with Toots Thielemans and his harmonica, I never knew who he was until his passing. I am touched by his music and thank you for making a post too. I hear the music and my heart sings, All the best. Michael
I had the privilege of seeing Toots at the Blue nite in New York in 2000. What a show. He reduced me to tears as the 78 year old man at the time created this magnificent music with his quartet. RIP dear Toots. You made a memorable contribution to our world.
I've been in love with this muse-gician ever since I heard him in Vancouver hmmm 80's... he stole my heart and took my breath away... nothing has changed. Thank the angels and his Momma for him gracing this realm..
wow, that is an emotional heart string pulling experience. This song reminds me of a rainy train trip I took through Cambodia. I had this recording (Secret Story) on an MP3 player and listened to it passing the ancient beautiful sad country. Now when i hear a song from that album I'm transported.
I thought I had compiled a list of my all time PAT METHENY FAVOURITES until today when I happily stumbled onto this gorgeous tune. His ability to evoke feelings of profound nostalgia through music is unsurpassed. My older brother left this world too soon, and because we lived 2,000 miles apart from each other our visits, while always memorable, were too short - and far too few. The brief - and oh so lyrical - harmonica solo in this piece is a perfect metaphor for the relationship I had with my brother. When you hear TOOTS play those few phrases you just ache with longing to hear more - as I ache with longing to have had just a few more days, hours, minutes with my dear departed brother Carl. I will treasure this piece as long as I have breath in my body.
My beautiful sister gave me the gift of Pat Metheny and his music. She said she went to his concert and I immediately had to find out who he was! I have been listening to him now for years thanks to her! Thanks Sis. Love you forever….
This piece introduced me to Pat's music when I was in college. Toots and Pat are perfect together. This piece has touched me so deeply like no other song has.
Too much felt is here, that my poor, poor fragile heart & soul gates, cannot but break and surrender to the flooding tide of emotion, no longer contained.......
I cannot stress enough the genius level of the human brain, which was so capable to compose a nice bunch of sounds into such a tender and painful piece! Beautiful Music! Awesome Musicians! Great performance!!!
journeying to meet friends - driving down a lonely hilly backroad in SW Iowa on a warm autumn night - sleeping in the truck by a river - windows down dog nestled in next to me. warm wind and bright moon. this song was forever imprinted gently on my mind. life is so full. so thankful for PM and Toots.
Secret story is Pat Matheny’s greatest album, but this song with Toots Thielemans is one of the most beautiful songs ever recorded and every time I listen to it I weep because it is so timelessly beautiful. 💞💫
nice to hear from someone else on the same wavelength! - he's accompanied me on many a backpacking/climbing trip also, it's been the soundtrack to the last 25 years of my life and encompases all of my happiest and most precious memories including my Honeymoon. Pat & Co, I can never thank you enough.
This song reminds me of a long walk I took through the Luxembourg Gardens in Paris on a rainy afternoon. I was surrounded by wonderful friends after having spent the morning in the De Orsay museum and having finished up a lovely lunch. It was a perfect day. This took me back to that moment. My eyes are welling up with tears just thinking about it.
Que musicalidade por excelência, harmonia perfeita, entrosamento espetacular, quem teve a sorte um dia de descobrir a musicalidade genial de Pat, com certeza aprecia e tem um ótimo gosto musical, ele faz a diferença, parabéns Pat.
How wonderful music brought us the dimension of Toots ,since i was a child ,and now at my 75 ,i still treasure this ambassador , for us South Americans,he was a Brazilian brother ,and blended with so much nature and friendship, at every country he went ! Virtuoso on every call of event ,either blues , bossa nova , rock , or classical, it was a WOOOW ! I can only say thank you Toots , i hope my small tribute reach haven were others of your dimension like Antonio Carlos Jobim , Astor Piazzolla, and so many gather on a concert of legacies !
Every time I hear this guy I wonder why the Kennedy Center hasn't recognized him as a national treasure. If you have any influence please use it before he dies....and make sure Lyle Mays is included. Thanks.
Totally agree - Pat is not only one of the greatest musicians on the planet, but a person of incredible integrity and vision. His legacy is and will continue to be absolutely priceless.
I remember watching a movie one time and was taken aback by the guy who was playing the harmonica. I thought that guy really knows how to play and interpret the moment with his instrument. I had heard the style again through many other films and records. I finally tracked him down and found out he was known as Toots. So perfect of a name for this musician. Pat Matheny has always been one of my favorite guitarist and his compositions always attract my attention. This song your listening to is of two great artist who just know how to do it right. I hope Toots gets more recognition for his body of work that he's left us, he deserves it. And Pat continuing to give us such wonderful music, man are we blessed or what? Love them both.
So timeless and touchy combo ! Traveling in so many directions to express my feelings that this melody squeezes out my soul ! Effortless ! Thxs for the post !
Hi, I, like Toots, play jazz chromatic and only met the genius once, backstage at the Barbican theatre in London. Toots couldn't have been nicer to me on that day. RIP sir...you were just fantastic.
Beautiful..... I have a privilege to meet pat on. Backstage and i gave me his mediator. I always remember his blue eyes so deep. And i love toots music
ascoltata un miliardo di volte per tre anni interi della mia vita
Ascoltandola spesso scorre il film della mia vita,i ricordi sono tanti qualcuno mi intristisce perche vede coinvolti persone che nn ci sono più ❤
OMG...I JUST TURNED 93 and today is the 1st time that I was introduced to this genius. I always admired Larry Adler,but today heard Toots and can’t get enough of his performances..I have saved the site and will probably listened to him everyday..thanks TH-cam...Chester Capponi from Burlington ont Canada
Life still hold surprises!
That's the spirit at 93!!!!!!
Music keeps you young.
Did you know Toots was also a wonderful guitar player and whistler? Here he is on a record by Quincy Jones.

bless you Chet.
th-cam.com/video/qUNZKESjngc/w-d-xo.html
Music that heals my soul! Thank you Pat ,Lyle, Toots and the rest of these wonderful, heaven sent musicians.
Incredible song that evokes romance, walks along the beach, vistas from a mountaintop, sharing smiles over coffee - and so much more. Pat's music has no nationality. It speaks across oceans and borders. It is a universal 'language' that brings a quiet smile to the world. What a gift.

This is so true and beautiful what you wrote...
Of course ,at that age we only think of exercising,partying ,girls ,working etc.Once we get older we don't take for granted the details
That's a beautiful sentiment. Thanks for sharing.
Questo pezzo è un'emozione senza fine.....
This is an example of perfect harmony between the arrangement and the musicians. We always will miss Toots.
R.I.P Toots Tielemans what a artiest a man with a pure soul and and of first class harmonica player
The Best With The Best Beautiful the world needs to hear more of this x
Pat and Toots together. Nothing less than a lasting masterpiece.
one of Pat’s most beautiful songs 👍🏻
I love this track. I danced it with my wife when we first met. 🥰💕God bless Pat and Toots! Thanks
Sublime Music.....Peace redefined!
Absolutely love this song. When toots comes in about midway it gives me the chills every friggin time!!!
I love this particular song by Pat Metheny with Toots playing his heart out. Beautiful composition. And wonderful playing by both musicians.
Amo este temazo de Pat Metheny...! Uno de los mejores..! Increíble composición de un grande del jazz...!
I first discovered Pat in the early 80's while staying up till 3 am studying for my college finals and was able to picked up a distant FM station that played jazz. I now have all of his releases and have seen him live in concert four times.
Happy 100th birthday Toots.
Wish Toots's part in this had been longer. Miss him. Glad Pat Metheny's still going strong.
Pat & Toots worked on putting this solo together for over 4 hours ...
due geni assoluti, due miti viventi...gente che ha l'anima visibile, che si palesa nella musica..solo così si può capire come si possa fare della musica simile..che tocca l'insondabile dentro di noi...grazie Pat, Grazie Toots..grazie per tutta la vita...
Touches me ... 💝💋... // Thanks for this longing piece of infinity!
This song has that rare thoughtful sensitivity and warmth that make some music truly transcendent! I can always count on it to sooth my jangled nerves and make me feel that every thing will be OK.
Beautiful Song.👍🏾❤️
Love the way Toots introduces his harmonic styling on the new phrase at 3:53.
It adds that special sound to Pat's mellow guitar solo. The strings create a
misty dimension...somewhere out there in time.
This one always makes me cry 💝
This album is special...This song was and will be mythical...sorrow and joy sweet and bitter like a life..lovers come lovers go...we always stay
Sadness and remembers from this music , thanks Pat and Toots
Metheny.... the name, simply mentioned, evokes pure joy in my soul.
It makes me cry ....... love it !
Secret story is one of Pat’s most diverse and worldly albums (and one my favorite of his in addition to letter from home) . His guests including Toots and London Symphony brings out the multi layer depth of emotion he delivers within his writing. I think Pat said he wrote this for his parents.

Desde lo Inefable no hay palabras para describir las emociones que se despiertan al escuchar esta, tan dulce y mágica canción ❤
Thank you Maestro Toots Thielemans for showing the LIFE from the most beautiful side! R.I.P. ......
Toots is a melody, Jos Meurrens. a perfect, harmonious, beautiful, everlasting melody. I've always been in love with his talent. there must be a Heaven for all those wonderful souls like his to be.
as it has shown repeatedly through his manners towards other musicians and the public. sweet person. thanks for your feedback.
San Nervosa Such people already are in heaven. This is their way of communicating it.
isn't it, David Watermeyer? sublime, that's what they are. I feel blessed to have the unspeakable pleasure of listening to them.
Thank you for seeing the Lord's hand in these performances!
These are two of my favorite musicians, and it brings me back to a time & space of childhood innocence.
Me too..so does back in time...masterpieces
I saw Pat Metheny in Seattle on the tour following the release of Secret Story. Every song was played perfectly, with the edge that a live nine man group brings to a venue. One of the great musicians of our time, without question.
Dear Toots, Thank you for all the good moments lived and enjoyed because of your beautiful music...sleep in peace.

Loraine Ravilet vous paraissez belle !!
Yes indeed
R.I.P Toots...Your‘e always and forever.
Two great artists..
Toots composed music pieces for some movies for example movies with Marcello Mastroianni or the great Jean-Paul Belmondo.
This is lovely, almost mesmerizing. Astonishingly beautiful.
When did love become a passing 'season' in our lives? ~a missing spring for all winters to warm the cold ...
I've been in love with this muse-gician ever since I heard him in Vancouver hmmm 80's... he stole my heart and took my breath away... nothing has changed. Thank the angels and his Momma for him gracing this realm..

A sad, beautiful place, Cambodia.
Secret Story is an incredibke classic.

everyone should listen to this lovely piece of music at least once in there lives.
Rest In Paradise, Toots.....:(
So smooth, so gentle, so pure, I must stop everything else and just listen.
Fine words to hear ,,,,
I get the same feeling. : )
Peaceful state of mind... Gorgeous, awesome and so many feelings coming out.. One of the music I should bring on a lost island.
So I just did ...
Amazing song !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Always and forever in our soul. Thanks for your wonderful music.
So delicately played by them both ... and such an understated string arrangement. So Beautiful ...
crazy sounding strings!!
This piece introduced me to Pat's music when I was in college. Toots and Pat are perfect together. This piece has touched me so deeply like no other song has.
Yes,2 giants, toots will make your hart shake too,check his Brazilian project,and Affinity,enjoy
This is beautiful music.
Too much felt is here, that my poor, poor fragile heart & soul gates, cannot but break and surrender to the flooding tide of emotion, no longer contained.......
In my opinion, it's Pat Methen's best composition, I never get tired of listening to it...❤🙏❤
Along with Jaco's Three Views of a Secret these notes remind me of the love that happens only once in a lifetime.
2 divine musicians on stage ! 1 what more could heaven want?1
Сколько же лет прошло с выхода данного концерта и каждый раз наслаждаюсь эти ЗВУЧАНИЕМ . УНИКАЛЬНЫЙ МУЗЫКАНТ
Без слов, чистая красота
I cannot stress enough the genius level of the human brain, which was so capable to compose a nice bunch of sounds into such a tender and painful piece! Beautiful Music! Awesome Musicians! Great performance!!!
journeying to meet friends - driving down a lonely hilly backroad in SW Iowa on a warm autumn night - sleeping in the truck by a river - windows down dog nestled in next to me. warm wind and bright moon. this song was forever imprinted gently on my mind. life is so full. so thankful for PM and Toots.
How this song soothes my soul from the cares of this crazy world!
Truth...
Enzo T amen. Play these tune and think of find memories not the craziness of today.
True that... And sounds the very life, if looking back, finally, thankfully.
With the String arrangement and the playful/exploring improv from Pat and Toots, this is musical perfection.............for me.
RIP Toots... you were the master of the harmonica and the ability to show emotion through it.
Steve Hall - also a first rate (phenomenal is probably more apt than first rate) guitar player as well.
Oh,yes. Let's also not forget his masterful whistling, especially on his masterpiece, "Bluesette".
Listen , take it all in. Breath it ...Feel it ...Breath. Dream it ....now live IT!
Have loved Pat Metheny and this one brings tears to my eyes, its beauty is so astounding.
It takes me away........with tears..........BEAUTIFUL !
So beautiful, so painful, so peaceful! Thank you, both, and RIP maestro!
Secret story is Pat Matheny’s greatest album, but this song with Toots Thielemans is one of the most beautiful songs ever recorded and every time I listen to it I weep because it is so timelessly beautiful. 💞💫
One of most beautiful musics ever heard, with two excellent performers, Thank you Pat and Toots! You both be in my heart, afor Always and forever!!!
ik think, heaven needed a brillant musician
absolutely some of the most beautiful music by two giants! Bravo!
All the thumbs down come from people who don't know or don't appreciate real music.
nice to hear from someone else on the same wavelength! - he's accompanied me on many a backpacking/climbing trip also, it's been the soundtrack to the last 25 years of my life and encompases all of my happiest and most precious memories including my Honeymoon.
Pat & Co, I can never thank you enough.
This song reminds me of a long walk I took through the Luxembourg Gardens in Paris on a rainy afternoon. I was surrounded by wonderful friends after having spent the morning in the De Orsay museum and having finished up a lovely lunch. It was a perfect day. This took me back to that moment. My eyes are welling up with tears just thinking about it.
Que musicalidade por excelência, harmonia perfeita, entrosamento espetacular, quem teve a sorte um dia de descobrir a musicalidade genial de Pat, com certeza aprecia e tem um ótimo gosto musical, ele faz a diferença, parabéns Pat.
just found this song and fell in love with the easy way it takes you on a journey
este tema me lleva a otros lugares y tiempos, y alguna que otra lagrima..
How wonderful music brought us the dimension of Toots ,since i was a child ,and now at my 75 ,i still treasure this ambassador , for us South Americans,he was a Brazilian brother ,and blended with so much nature and friendship, at every country he went ! Virtuoso on every call of event ,either blues , bossa nova , rock , or classical, it was a WOOOW ! I can only say thank you Toots , i hope my small tribute reach haven were others of your dimension like Antonio Carlos Jobim , Astor Piazzolla, and so many gather on a concert of legacies !
There are many musicians who play perfectly and beautifully. But these guys added something priceless to this perfection & beauty. Some call it LOVE
The first time I heard this song I fell the melancholy enter my heart and a smile on my face at the same time.
Siempre que escucho este disco me emociono, es genial y perdurà siempre, gracias
Between a tear and a smile... Best description of Toots. This is a masterpiece.
Fare l'Amore con questo brano...è un piacere doppio...!!!
Every time I hear this guy I wonder why the Kennedy Center hasn't recognized him as a national treasure. If you have any influence please use it before he dies....and make sure Lyle Mays is included. Thanks.
Totally agree. They've done Sonny and Herbie, next up Pat!
He's only 62 & seemingly in pretty good health, they'll get around to it.
well I'm 72..so do it before I die.
Are you talking about Toots ? He's from 🍫 Belgium
Totally agree - Pat is not only one of the greatest musicians on the planet, but a person of incredible integrity and vision. His legacy is and will continue to be absolutely priceless.
RIP. Toots, maestro.
Love this song and a big PM and Toots fan...RIP toots...your music lives on..:)
Magnificense......!!!!
This still hurts, beautifully, after 24 years of regular playing. Simply wonderful.
you may find 'rap' music a dryer listen.
I remember watching a movie one time and was taken aback by the guy who was playing the harmonica. I thought that guy really knows how to play and interpret the moment with his instrument. I had heard the style again through many other films and records. I finally tracked him down and found out he was known as Toots. So perfect of a name for this musician.

Thanks PMG
This song is like a pure diamond....Just the time to open the box and all the brightness of this music blind us....JUST AWSOME...
Most beautiful piece...touches my heart and soothes my soul...greatest musicians♥
Absolut and Perfect!
So timeless and touchy combo ! Traveling in so many directions to express my feelings that this melody squeezes out my soul ! Effortless ! Thxs for the post !
I have never heard of Toots Thielemans and yet I'm finding myself crying while listening to this song and reading all the comments about his death
Hi, I, like Toots, play jazz chromatic and only met the genius once, backstage at the Barbican theatre in London. Toots couldn't have been nicer to me on that day. RIP sir...you were just fantastic.
My heart runs the full range of emotion each and every time I listen to these two masters of their instruments. . .
RIP Toots, one of the best ever.
Merci pour ce voyage, quel plaisir de vous entendre ensemble .magnifique !
Pensées émues à M Thielemans et grand merci à M Metheny
Danke für die wundebaren Minuten mit dieser romantischen Musik...
Sensacional! Extremo bom gosto, e de uma sensibilidade ímpar!
