Patrick Watson - Drifters

[ogpakika15]

this is epic

[lugag146]

: Phenomenon

[J2zday]

Sounds like Coldplay, except it's good.

[BRNNDO30]

i LOVE how this is so completely different from the studio version, and yet they are both amazing! it's like, I could listen to the CD and be completely content, but to know that this is how the song happens adds a whole new level of awesome to it :)

[Miliozz]

Definitely one of my favourite YouTube videos. This version is so so good! Better than the album version...

[MatWilkins]

What effect is he using at the end?!?! I want.

[eldientedemaiz]

Patrick Watson + Thom Yorke: Proof of God´s existence.

[TheMintcity]

@eldientedemaiz Patrick Watson X Thom Yorke = infiniti

[masano69]

@TheMintcity Quality comment mate!



[eldientedemaiz]

the most underrated  talent of our age.

[PikaCook]

Their music soothes all my pain away, as if I could glance at paradise, so close to it...

[Pwatsonism]

patrick watson and coldplay are the two loves of my life

[mynmyself]

Patrick, I love you

[annie123454]

this guys song writhing and voice is so overwhelmingly deep and beautiful it brings a tear to my eyes, amazing talent!!!

[rain1701]

so them live in Portugal on the SuperbockSuperrock Festival in MECO what a superb

consert..........

[elymnias]

If Chris Martin takes inspiration in Radiohead and so does Patrick Watson, then of course the two will have similarities in their style and range, just as other musicians from the same generation emerging in the early 2000s. Though their vocals do have resemblances, I still find that Watson's voice has a unique signature by the way he pitches those lyrical high notes in songs such as "Lucious life" and Karkwa's "Le Compteur" .

[ThiSs1Guyyy]

@garethorchard. whats a "bad" sounding piano???

any piano sounds beautiful in my mind

[fangerboard]

@ThiSs1Guyyy The piano just has nothing to it. they equed it wrong. its too twangy.

[jameygey]

An unforgiven kiss to my soul.

[garethorchard]

I love Patrick Watson but that is the worst sounding electric piano.

[musikyle]

LOL that's exactly what i thought the moment this video started

"god, that's a terrible sound"

[R3ctom]

yeah, thatd be better with a big acoustic grand piano

[manu4you]

@garethorchard totally agree. they just don't work

[grantmcconnaughey]

@garethorchard Agreed...I have no idea why he doesn't have a real acoustic piano.

[clakclakclaxton]

this guy makes me happy because he is the real deal, the full package. Video killed the radio star, but at least YouTube will save musical styles that have been forgotten.

[guybpatoine]

Wow... quel talent ! Tout un mélange d' influences...

[sillyphilosopher]

LoL this is 'nothing like coldplay' terraky? And the moody blues is "nothing like" the beatles? If the music isn't outright similar, they are sure as hell in the same neighborhood considering the spectrum of existing music.

[skyalchemistblue]

@sillyphilosopher Coldplay is the first connection my mind made during this performance. obviously they differ some in style and direction, but the resemblance is uncanny, especially in the vocal range.

[jeminiany222]

@skyalchemistblue exact same thing came to my mind, however coldplay being my favourite i have to say no one can reach them in my mind.. this guy is great though i just discovered him

[sammarcos]

@skyalchemistblue

I 100% agree. very Chris Martin.

[mariejane25]

This is live just amazing. Not many people these days are true artists. And you are a pleasure. Good on you.

[animesrklash]

I get that Fuzzy feeling everytime i listen to this song = ]

[DJMagoy]

Everytime I hear their talent I ponder, thinking "And James Blunt is on the radio."

Shame.

I guess that's the fate of true artists to be enjoyed by the minority... It makes the whole thing more precious in a sense.

[mogwai142]

That's cuz radio managers or whatever are idiots and think their listeners are idiots as well.

[msdiamant]

and most of them are

[Oxtrack26]

@DJMagoy ahahah james blunt... totally lol... But maybe someday we'll be a majority! COuld this be due to the kind of belief we have? Like for myself I believe in no specific religion but I believe in god, and I think atheist's just a wrong mistake driving us apart. What do you think on your way?

[DJMagoy]

@Oxtrack26 Yeah maybe... I don't know but believing in God or having a deep spirituality seems to be linked to having a great sensivity (in the good sense of the term). I for myself am Christian, catholic, but don't take me wrong, because I too find pretty amazingly dumb how many American catholics think. What I mean is I DON'T think alcohol is a sin or such because that is NOT part of the Bible (only inebriation is, or the things it makes you do) ... and so on with many other things.

[aaronbrakefield]

@DJMagoy

Mark Twain said, "Once you find yourself on the side of the majority, it's time to pause and reflect."

[foofsterino]

@DJMagoy They are incredible that is true. But why do u have to go dissin James Blunt, He is just as good as them.!

[jodi183]

@DJMagoy Back in the old days, good talent was heard by all.

[shuttersclosed]

They're obviously heroes.. superman is nothing compared with them

[mechanicalvalve]

Oh get over they do sound similar and thats why I said COldplay would love to sound like this. Cant deny the similarity though. And yes I agree this still more sophistivated to use your term.

[tarariiiqteviii]

:________)

[egaberte]

Patrick Watson is my boyfriend. He just doesn't know it yet.

[AMICHIO]

hahaha I wish I could say the same about Abi Hardin from the Zutons, she just don't know she's soon to be yet

[helemia]

does anybody know the guitarist amp's model ?

thank u

[soundsinchains]

He used a Fender twin reverb on Lowlands Aug. 2007

I guess this is the same one.

[morrxs]

Please come do a trade with me on the inner harbour here in Victoria. I have a front line venue where you can do and blast your soles with a happy day. Fun good beers Love you guys and all your artistic noise. Fifty guy James says don't burn out don't do unnatural u r super stars

[mechanicalvalve]

I hear a little bit of Coldplay in this music. Maybe its just his voice but Coldplay probably like to sound like this.

[Rmz989]

was thinking the same thing XD

[Terraky]

Stop comparing Patrick Watson with Coldplay!! This is completely different! Patrick Watson is more sophisticated with an incredible voice, an original style and amazing sound effects.

[rosebud066]

i love Patrick. His music is incredible.

[thedreamzcatcher]

hypnotizing... I love the ending.

[woutervanderzee]

great!

i am going to see them!:D

[musoid]

Nice stuff, but IMO he totally sounds like a cross between Chris Martin and Jeff Buckley.

[Brabandia]

He's coming to Pinkpop this june! Finally, I'm going to see him :D

[Nadinep7p]

Grag And patrick to sound a like!

[ozonewarrior008]

Marry Me sweety, I want you to sing me lullabies when I'm going to sleep, you are beautiful, in everyway....

[emeraldecity]

Just haunting...

[krinley]

he sounds more like Greg Laswell than anyone else..

[gypress]

a little...I love Greg Laswell as well

[krinley]

yah, i saw Greg live at a tiny venue and it was amazing. i really want to see him again, and i heard he has some NEW music... is it true?

[xtientje]

lol, good for you.. ;)

[babyblues71]

i love watching you sing :)

[TSXboy26]

I WANNA HAVE SEX WITH PATRICK WILSON anyone got his phone number?!??

[xtientje]

honestly, patrick wilson?! you're pretty messed up, aren't you?

[TSXboy26]

sorry i had just smoked a blunt and was very high when i posted that.....

[TSXboy26]

no i change my mind I still wanna have sex with him!!

[K00bes]

Lol.

[JORDIBCN97]

Patrick , you've an amazing voice

I dream with your piano and, speaceally , with

Luscious Life

I like

I like you!

[DiscoGabe]

Amazing voice.

[philgwalsh]

I'd compare him more to Jeff Buckley than to Coldplay. Patrick Watson has an amazing voice. The tune he did for Cinematic Orchestra is just the most delicate piece of music ever!

[bellarab]

I agree, he's more like Jeff Buckley, than he is Coldplay.

But I love this guy, he's just amazing.

[propwatch]

Yeah, there are parts of both of them there. Vocally he mixes the two... It seems like he likes to live in the dissonance a bit like Buckley did as well.

[Lauryn74K]

very cool sound - first band that has me excited in ages - great singer, i saw them in Glasgow recently.

[Edjuizzyu]

Nice sound. Would love to get that piano player in my bed.....

[selmalovestodance]

love him.

[fragueti]

They are ok. But they shouldn't copy Coldplay so obviously.

[Gabotas21]

Think so? Music comes around once in a whil... think 'bout it

[sheneider20]

It's well better that Coldplay.

This man is a genius!

[POPOFELIZ]

yeah, this is better than coldplay, and coldplay are good musicians, but these guys are better

[fudgemonkey888]

i hate when they are compared to coldplay.. if you watch pat on tout le monde en parle.. he says he never listens to them anyway. So there you have it.  dick

[jjwmacdo]

first time I've actually seen him

cool lookin group of dudes

[bob9114]

yeah me too im going to see patrick patson at college lionel-groulx and i saw this band in the festival of jazz in the metropolis

[oquishpil]

Jeff buckley en la inspiración

[lennyfunky]

Geweldig schitterend

lovely wonderfull

greatz Lenny V from Holland

[luftspiegelung]

when this is a real DALAI LAMA for real DANCING power too^^... LETS DANCE.

[DirrtyFrank]

Marre des critiques musicales formatées. Cherche dadarockcritic sur Google et tu entendras parler de Patrick Watson...entre autres.

[n0ctivagus]

he went at magdalen islands.. and i missed it :( grr

[SunlessSkyGuitar]

His voice kind of reminds me of the guy from Coldplay here and there. The only difference is that I like Patrick Watson and I don't like the guy from Coldplay.

[matsutakneatche]

kinda and jeff buckley eh?

[sendoh12]

I'm going to see him at College Lionel-Groulx (my cegep) for only 20 bucks 3rd row!

[RadioBaghdad]

me tooooooooo:)

[bob9114]

the show at montreal during the festival of jazz was vmost best than this

[frosticocoon]

this is an amazing song

[DiscoGabe]

Now I feel depressed for missing this show.

[marcelvollet]

awesome.
