  • They should pump this into the air so it can fix the Ozone.

  • trilogy for the story first circle, still life and letter from home ...

  • I miss my friend...

  • Perfect record. Simply perfect.

  • I have no idea why, but this song makes me happy and sad at the exact same time. Bizarre, huh?

  • Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Nobody could sign like Pedro Aznar in all Pat Metheny Group history

  • Nobody could sign like Pedro Aznar

  • everything about this record is perfect

  • wow!!!!!!

  • A masterpiece in EVERY way!

  • love this music,it bring peace to my mind.

  • que wenaaaaa

  • pedro's face here reminds me of bowie

  • the solo and pat's tone in this recording are beautiful. anyone know what guitar he is using here?

  • @bigmapidea I've listened to this record a whole of time and I'm sure the guitar had more than two mics which made the tone richer and at some instances you can hear the pletrum rubbing against the steel strings...it's amazing how his technicality is light years ahead of everyone in the game....great musician...

  • Masters at work.

  • In my estimation, the best solo by Pat Metheny in any record, group or otherwise. It's so simple and melodic and weaves through the song so effortlessly. It's almost married to it in a way, that any other version by Pat himself wouldn't sound correct..

  • simply exquisite music... Pedro Aznar is amazing

  • I use to carry this albun "Letters from Home" along with "First Circle" in my cel phone and i hear it while im in transit in the bus or the subway!!!!.....I love all from PMG!

  • Pat Metheny is a genius and Pedro Aznar has the voice of an angel; it was such a shame when the latter left the Metheny group. Not to take anything away from Mark Ledford and David Blamires who were both phenonmenal singers in their own right with voices that meshed well with Metheny's music but Aznar's voice was simply out of this world.

  • WOW This is really good.

  • Such a brilliant interpretation of great music here! Its so fascinating how these two all stars Metheny & May's along with Pedro's voice compliment and feed off of one another! It's indescribable! I'm spell bound!

  • sweet! smart! first class!

  • one song from god's iPod?

  • @NippleOfNippon Stolen or not he did a great job, got to appreciate good music.

  • First time hearing this track, only know Nick Holders Summer Daze. I think I'm inlove.

  • @MsLuvuyo

    I like that version too but he stole it from Pat!

  • Music with emotion. This is what a lot of music these days is lacking. Amazing song.

  • My friend and I love Mediaoutletonline for doonnlooading f.r..ee m..uzzic similar to this one! You should try and search it using Google.

  • My gosh, how can anyone not love this music??

  • These people make my soul smile :-)

  • this is happy music!

  • When I hear this song I travel in my thoughts ... I remember the time I was learning to play bass, only time I heard jazz music taste I learned from my uncle Samuca, Today I regret not having continued studying music and see bands and musicians like Pat Metheny Fourplay is to chill the soul ...

  • Quando eu escuto essa música eu viajo nos meus pensamentos...

    Me lembro do tempo que eu estava aprendendo a tocar contra-baixo, época em que eu só ouvia jazz gosto musical que aprendi com meu tio Samuca, Hoje eu me arrependo de não ter continuado estudando música ver bandas e músicos como Pat Metheny e Fourplay é de arrepiar a alma...

  • amazing track

  • I say my prayer, put on this song, buckle up my seat belt and start the engine....Hit the road and 'Slip Away'. The driving time is almost cut in half...Or at least is seems ;-) LOL

  • I had been following the PMG for about 8-9 years at this time. When I heard LFM I though this was going to be the group forever. I thought it could not get any better. Was I EVER wrong. The man keeps getting better.

  • Ale dają czadu. Fantastic music and fantastic team. SUPER !!! Greetings from Poland.

  • I LOVE THIS SONG... im gonna do a remix to this!!!

  • awww, why is it in mono???

  • I listened to this for 2 hours straight today :)

  • nujabes brought me here

  • @FoolyCoolyfied AND ME

  • The power of a minor key never stops enchanting me!!!!!!!

  • does this type of vocals have a particular name? i mean they arent words but for me are better than words.

  • awww man i love this song and the lick Metheny plays at 3:18 sooo sick

  • Pat's playing is of the essence of the archangel Gabriel...

  • What I love most about Pat Metheny music is the feeling of drifting and feeling the stress just leaving my body....such freedom....and my thoughts just flow. Great inspiration music before painting on a canvas

  • Youtube should really remove the Like & Dislike buttons because they never reflect the zillions of times that some clips have been watched anyway. Many people forget to vote so like or dislike statistics are totally superfluous and who cares anyway? They are in fact offputting because so many people only comment on the number of dislikes (usually an infinitesimal fraction of the likes) whereas it is normal that some people just don't like it - and this deserves no special attention whatsoever!

  • Love it ! How can I have missed PMG before ? Being 640 yrs old I thought I had heard most music from the west, not so. Thought it was Latino at first, say Brazillian etc. Can anyone suggest Latino music of a similar nature ? Just adore the sound, thanks for posting.. my cat Evans keeps looking at me with that "Oh no not again" look. Tough.

  • @BunkyOhare Sorry for the double post..

  • the dislikers are probably the ones intoxicated with hip-hop and think "sampling" is a genuine art form

  • OMG I CANT FUCKING BELIEVE THIS...6 DISLIKES!!! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • This video was made back when good artists made music videos.

  • Maestros de maestros, es increible todo lo que hace, yo digo que Pat habla con Dios!! este es el 2do tema que me gusta, el 1ero es Minuano 6/8!!

  • best part at 2:32 Amazing!!!

  • @betttola No dude, best part is that ascending thing he does between 3;22 and 3;32

  • Comment removed

  • During a break in his two hour-plus concert at the U of KY in '95; Metheny spoke to us about "Slip Away." This was his one and only "45" shot, released to be a hit record........I'd say the rest of the so-called "pop" culture has missed out! Metheny, your music is too good to be categorized as "pop." Heck, I wouldn't even call it Jazz;. I agree with MILES when he said, "Don't call it Jazz, just call it music!"

  • Steve Rodby and Paul Wertico's new band - Marbin

  • It's wonderful to discover a community of listeners who appreciate this magical song as I do. It's the opposite of the Blues, but somehow just as soulful. I've thought of this one as Pat's version of a Beach Boys song. Paul shows great discipline as he maintains that even shuffle beat, like he did on "Last Train Home." It's curious that the audio is precisely the same take as the album. That indicates it's patched together from separate, filmed takes. Regardless, it's a treasure!

  • I have been listening to PMG and PM since the early 80's. I am so addicted and mesmerized by the music that I have one entire ipod filled with PM's music. If PMG ever tour again, I would fly anywhere to hear them.

  • I love these 80's videos!

  • This song is just pure soul, especially the back and forth between Pat and Pedro at the end. Still getting much play, thanks Pat!

  • Pedro Aznar: The Best Voice of Pat Metheny Group !

  • @mondearg Argentino papa !!

  • @mondearg and ricardo bona!

  • @mondearg I agree. Many have come & gone to where we do not really remember their names. But Pedro is classic.

  • How incredable to be able to move you to tears without saying a single word. Nobody does it more often or as well as Pat.

  • One of the best guitar solos of all time!

  • no matter how many times i play this or hear the song, i never tire of it, i love the song and im glad-so very glad i have been a fan of Pat Metheny 4 30 + years keep them coming fans of Metheny we need our music!!!!

  • this music it makes me down to lie........... f--king awesome

  • Aznar: the best

  • A smooth jazz masterpiece

  • the guitar solo is telling a story. so melodic

  • These vocals were way beyond their time

  • Trying to use words falls far short when trying to convey the sheer exhilaration I feel every time I hear this song. 

  • One of his best songs!!!!

  • Whats with the stupid fucking lady gaga shit got to do with the god that is Pat Metheny? There really are some fucking idiots on here.

  • What the fuck has Pat Metheny to do with Lady Gaga? I find it very strange to see a comment refering to Lady Gaga....

  • Pat Metheny is who he is-Pat Metheny and of course hes not Lady Gaga-i thank God 4 that !!!!!!!!

  • Metheny is good, i guess. But he is no Lady Ga Ga!!

  • @atomic3939 im glad u removed that comment, and i like lady gaga yself-just not with Pat

  • Recuerdo la primera vez que lo ví en Chile en 1988, no lo podia creer..!!!!.como alguien podia hacer musica tan buena.???..despues supe que Pedrito Aznar componia y hacia las voces en PMG...creo que fue la mejor epoca del grupo.

  • Comment removed

  • Pat Metheny-Today, Tomorrow...and Forever!!

  • I Agree very much with that ... Pat 4 Ever

  • His music is great. His band is fantastic. I know his songs since 1978.

    Also recommanded: "April wind" and "April joy" from the first Pat Metheny group album. After all his projects I still prefer his Pat Metheny group activities.

  • que grande que es pedrito aznar

  • There are no words to explain the greatness of Pat Matheny and his group....Check out his buddy toninho horta from brazil....

  • One of the best things about great music...After 20 plus years, the stuff still stands up! Ladies & Gentlemen of the jury, I give you Exhibit A, Patrick Bruce Metheny!

  • Imagine my surprise when I discovered there was an ACTUAL music video to a long time favorite song of mine. After 20-odd years this is still an awesome song.

  • Yes sir , this song mark our life

  • Pat Metheny is not very well known here in Scotland, which is unfortunate, as his music is amazing. I have quite a few of hi albums, and this is probably my favorite.

  • turn this up in your car....saw him do this in Detroit and when the piano break started people yelled "YO Lyle". Always nice to be in a crowd who knows the good stuff.

  • Yes....nice indeed. I discovered this song after first hearing Nick Holder's...err..remake...Summe­r Daze...

  • Can anyone tell me the lyrics to this song? :)

  • @mothy81 It's Instrumental

  • this is the favorite car tune on the highway, thanks pat

  • Aaaahhh je l'adore ! BRAVO

  • Brilliant!

  • This is one of the most perfect songs I've ever heard. There's not one thing I don't like about it.

  • Thank you for share this!

    This song always makes me postive.

  • just what i needed

  • Great song,nice to see Pedro Aznavar singing again.Sky FM smooth jazz is playing this track in their rotations,amazing considering they dont play older traks !

    Pat Matheny group rules.

  • What a classic from the Letter from Home album. Smooth Syncopation, and Celestial bliss. 4 stars.

  • OH!

    I am SO, SO HAPPY to hear this again, after all these long years.......

    My daughter Layla, when very young, used to mimic this and sing out loud.."Oh da da -daddio"

    Thanks for posting this ~

  • And God said "Let there be music" and it was so.And God saw that the music was good. LOL :o)

  • .....then God said "Let there be MUSIC! and it was so. And God saw that Pat Metheny was good (and He smiled!!) LOL!!!

    PS ..then God bought Pat Metheny albums..... :-)

  • but first God had to browse to Amazon, 'cause some rare CD's weren't available in Heaven...

  • @granitePillar

    i am DYINGGGGGGGGGG on the floor laughing at your comment, but I feel you and DITTO on THAT!!! yes God created METHENY! and KNEW that i would one day GO CRAZY over him!!! lol

  • @granitePillar Then god realized he ate too much fiber and shit on the rest of us.

  • @Superman575575 - he gave us ears didn't he?

  • @artbychristine I'd say reproduction and the altercation of adaptive genes through the millennia did that. . .or at least I believe such a process to be more likely. I don't, by any means, proselytize that as fact, you can believe what you want.

  • @granitePillar

    hahhahahahaha

    thats great and truth

    ;)

    may god bless us all, if only he exist

  • Nice and easy. Great melody and rhythm

  • Beautiful song.

  • listen to Pat with polish singer surnama of Jopek of the upojenie album it will blow your mind

    peace

  • What about the piano/bass parts at 2;02 ....Pat is great but i soon learned to listen to the bass lines with this band ...Notice how the bass is always back in the mix , unintrusive and yet vital the their sound...

  • Steve Rodby on bass.....

    You know, each musician in this group is an amazing musician in his own right so when you get a talented group like this together, wow, magic.......!!

  • Does anyone else think that the music video is hilarious. I love the music but they look so serious lol

  • excellent this guys make magic

  • Timeless ... like most of PM's songs.

    Love it so much !

  • the worst video by the most beautiful song.

  • What is it that Pat captures in this tune that makes you feel so good? This music has been channeled from another divine dimension. If you want to know what heaven feels and sounds like, listen to Pat's music. There it is.

  • Pedro Aznar se va a la mierda! Es maravillosa su voz. Pat Metheny Group es un elixir para mente y alma!

  • Pedro Aznar is Argentinian, we´re proud of him

  • the cold fall/winters of detroit during the early to mid 90's had a soundtrack,and it was pat methany group

  • this vid has became a regular nightly dose of PMG I need to take before go to sleep.

  • As I'm in tears... this song will always remind me of winters in Michigan sitting on the the front porch of 304 Mechanic having a rocky mountain high dreaming of growing old with you.

    Brian G.

  • This radiant song thawed the grey winter of ´92 for me.

  • PM is still in the future. When i found out first circle was 1982-84, I couldn't believe it.

  • @PurplePlayer99 -

    When I first heard Pat in '84, I couldn't believe what I was hearing either! (Neither could many of my music-oriented friends). Pat and company blew my mind then. He still does now. :-D

  • only videos like PM makes YT great place...

  • after all these years , I am still in love with Metheny's music

  • slick solo

  • @cmurphy8 man just when you think It can't get any better Pat emerges at @2:36 and takes it to another level

  • The voice of Pedro Aznar was the zenith of the Pat Methent Group . He added as fresh voice and great musicality. I saw the Full circle tour in Portland Oregon. Wow!!!

  • Comment removed

  • I love this song. I must have listened to this close to 300 times. Seriously. Maybe more. I still get the same wonderful feeling everytime I hear it. I keep checking to see if I'll get tired of it but I don't. I just like it all the more. I guess that is what true love is. I won't even mention Minuano 6/8, that's a whole other story.

  • @gittens40 : I could have posted the exact same comment :))) I have exactly the same wondeful feeling each time I am hearing it and I won't even mention "The" Minuano 6/8 which changed my life since I first hear it 18 years ago....

  • Im both thumbs up for this one ! I got the album too.

  • The album Letter from Home made me company through a number of holidays! My wife and children may confirm this...

  • Ahh the summer of '89....this album letter from home together with a beautiful love affiar and the warm california sun, life could'nt have gotten any better..thank you pat and lyle for accompianing me through my life and for those ever lasting memories....
