I really appreciate this song, this is real music. No electro, no pop. Just pure talent, & I respect Patrick for that.

[JuhRaaw]

It's the best song ever.

[AlexxMinty6]

This song still helps me sleep.

[onlyoneman23]

The world has become a Industrial, marketable, profitable illusion of disembodied Souls that Work For Money that symbolizes Nothing. On my way home from work i walked upon a memory of my innocence and the purity i used to be, but im already fading and the Dreams i use to hold tight to are now far from me and I've lost the ability to Live with myself and Love. With no Imagination i can't even remember what my dreams were or do I???? Maybe I can Love again. I Quit my Job.Im going to find myself!

[ErwanProductionQc]

[RubyGold1000]

I cant help but wanting to cry every time I hear this song and I watch one of the best animations my eyes have ever seen.

[joaorgpires]

Thank you Alex Produkt and Kathleen Weldon.

[AnnaRoberts9]

Zach Braff suggesed this song a while back....thank you, sir. Thank you..

[livyparker]

this song is my great escape...

[KneeAhhhhhhh]

Love how the song ends with a minor chord. A gnarly yet amazing effect it brings to the whole song. A work of audible art this is. *takes invisible hat off*

[JoeMacchiato]

Why do I always love to listen to songs that make people feel sad and low?

[nathanvanrijn]

Around 2.500.000 people are waiting for their great escape, who's looking for a way? Don't be afraid, just eat up all the grey. Don't let yourself fall down. Maybe just a bad day, but after 3 years listening to this song at least once every week i think it's time to quit getting in my car and driving away from all the things "that we are". Godspeed

[carlillasa]

hermosa! estoy llorando de sólo escucharla!

[carolineapy]

Every time i listen to this, i feel more relaxed and better i just don't know why. in fact this is a piece of art

[latruchiita]

@carolineapy Well this sonf is about suicide so i dont know why it relaxed you because it makes me feel sad :/

[cat101ism]

job for a cowboy?

[SYZZA92]

Its a beautiful video clip, powered by an even more beautiful song.... I love life, and my girlfriend.

[CheeseBac]

Its ART!

[TheWh4T]

I brought myself here.

[Gomerieting]

@TheWh4T what does this even mean, you decided one day out of the blue to type into youtube Patrick Watson -  The Great Escape with no prior knowledge of him or the song, you're a douche, unless you wrote the song you most definitely could not have brought yourself here without any less than an epiphany, speaking out your arse

[W1NonaST1CK]

@Gomerieting you good sir. actually you arent even a good sir.  you are ignorant and stupid. you are looking at this statement with respect to one single conotation. TheWh4t could have been video surfing or have heard about it from one of his/her friends. In either instance, he/she did indeed bring bring his or herself to the video. stop being stupid. dumb comment is dumb. troll

[fuckthepolitician420]

@TheWh4T I would imagine the same amount of time it took you to write yours...Have you ever considered he/she heard the song before looking it up on Youtube?

[wildeoneify]

@Gomerieting lol, actually I brought myself here too...I was listening to something else when i typed the wrong thing into the bar and I thought i'd tried it....three years later its still the most beautiful song i've ever heard. Try not to be so angry..

[boyrichboy]

@TheWh4T Lol

[beautifuledie]

@TheWh4T the best comment ever.

[TheGinge1998]

@beautifuledie I agreee.



[j0hnramb0z]

dang!! this song really remind me of my grandfather. My dad said he has the same birthday as mine, always carrying me around when worked, protect me, and made the bed for me when i was a baby. Dad always say he loved me much more than Dad and my brother so my sister. But grandpa die when i was 2 years old and the worse part i can't remember anything about my grandpa. that's sucks...,i don't know what's wrong with my brain. All i have from him just books about him when in colonial time.

[j0hnramb0z]

Man.!! this is a very good song unlike all songs in my country they're all sucks u know... never seen like this before.. anyway, how can anyone dislike this song???? 0_o

" just because it is...doesn't mean it has to be." good day every one

[NowIAmAwake]

[ImLiving4Today]

@anotherkat4u It truly is the Great Escape! I've been free for 3+ years now, and it keeps getting better - better than I ever would have ever imagined. I thought I would never live to see anymore good days, but like you say...it doesn't have to be...keep strong

I love this song! In drama in the ninth grade we did tableaux (I belive that's the spelling) for children who were used as slaves and shipped from England to Canada and Australlia, and my group used this song and it was perfect! :)

[TSM8088]

Life is tough in this shit-hole wasteland of humanity....

[dhicks07]

Love the song and video....wrote this but could only post in parts...begins part 1, middle part 2, last ends with ....me!

[dhicks07]

The Great Escape (1)

One day I was looking upon myself

Many years of smiles and tears had left me tired of singing,

Tired of cryin’ tired of tryin, I watched myself dying, moment to moment

Time had passed and the laughter that had filled my glass

Had become indigenous, glowing only to one’s self

[dhicks07]

Where was the drug that would become me?

Searching the others lips and eyes for their heart

Throwing myself into them, awaiting my soul to boomerang back to me

Finding I had been stood up,

I echoed the voices in my head to rest, ate up all the gray

[DecadentDandycake]

Thumbs if sent yourself here.

[AyyItsHalee8o8]

Don't matter how you got here, just as long as you are.

[maxwellpemberton]

My friend plays this on the piano all the time. And now I know what song it is :)

[GorGesGord]

I don't even know what a Zach Braff is and this song is so captivating that I have no intention of finding out!

[georgeboardman]

[Jusala12]

Is the Great Escape a symbol for something else, I wonder?

[Technolog1c]

@Jusala12 I always took it as death.

[ExcessiveHorse]

@Technolog1c me too, I think he's definitely referring to suicide

[Hyunkle]

@ExcessiveHorse he is, we played that at one of my friend's funerals
