  • (many may not understand this, but I accept that) when I think of what music I want to be played at my Eulogy (trust me, I don't think about this all the time, but I have thought about it, on occasion), this track is near the top of my list. (you know, with a slide show of you as an infant, a child, at your High School prom, a sports action photo, and you on a beach or in Nature with a genuine smile on your face), I think this track would do. Thank you Pat.

  • @fourrhythm hey its not bad to think of that, and that would be a great idea, with this or another Metheny song, with your life starting out as a baby, and going from there, i liked ur idea, and just wanted u to know.

  • I have just a question : is it better than ACDC night prowlers ?

  • @DenisJUMONT Night Prowlers is for the few hrs. before you get laid by some hot, but faceless skank.  This song is for the 3 weeks after you bang your next long term girlfriend.

    It's apples and oranges, really. Depends on where you're at right now.

  • @stonefree247

    Thank you for your explanation. I like your metaphor. I'm thinking about another metaphor that could explain that these two groups are exactly the contrary of the metaphor which says "the golden apples of the sun". Maybe "the coconuts and the blackberries of the moon"

  • J AIME LA TRES BONNE MUSIQUE ET JE PEUT VOUS DIRE QUE CEST MAGNIFIQUE

  • Just the best¡¡¡

  • beautiful....

  • He can echo the mood, can't he?

  • This music is simply the best!! I could drive on long trips to this and not fall asleep!

  • tökéletes

  • it is too sad too personal for me

  • @amadeus999able You will do fine listening to Pat and Lyle Mays. Life is Joy and Tragedy, right?

  • The first time I heard this, it brought tears to my eyes; it's so beautiful. It still does every time I hear it. Wonderful!

  • How could you not like the images???

  • @DadsWeird Ditto!

  • The most beautiful of God's creation to the backdrop of one of God's greatest composers and guitarists!

  • A very nice ballad, I play this song on my tenor saxophone. A wonderfully written ballad.

  • you people are so fucking lame...

  • @cmlax999 What's your problem, you don't like this music?

  • So beautiful!

  • i love 90% what he plays or composes... incredible!

  • -this music was poignant for me, incredibly nice and smooth...fantastic, thx

  • Quando voglio perdermi nella musica, c'è questo pezzo qui, vero!

  • nice tits and butts

  • if ever you need to get lost in music and relax, Pat is definitely your guy.

  • 2011-2012............. MONTREAL SAYS THANK-YOU PAT!

  • Gorgeous women...works so well with the music. A  favorite, thanks to the original poster of this video. So aurally soothing...and visually, too! ;-)

  • this would be a great video for Styx,Lady

  • dedicata agli dei.eccezionale pat. pat forever.

  • Love the brushwork on the drums...sounds like a river running underneath the whole, too beautiful for words, thing.

  • this song is so sad...

  • @promerops.... odd you say that... i always thought exactly the same

  • but note to the #dminor!Pat Metheny Group *

  • but note to the #dminor!

  • Please play 'If I could' at any memorial service that might be held for me. Then follow it with 'First Circle' to inspire everyone with its joy and energy. Thanks, Pat.

  • Arly Cardoso- Thank you for that moving and soothing illustration with superb and gentle photographs of womens incredible charm.It is always fascinating to me. I bow my head very low before that fact.Yet, there is nothing more amazing than the beauty of a woman. For ever. And the last photo is a hearty invitation to the dreams with someone you like very, very much.

  • ...chiudi gli occhi...sogna con me...Per te tesoro...

  • Please everybody! Try to hear "If I Could" of Vinnie Moore. Here :

    watch?v=0qlLlZXiO5Y

  • Very hauntingly beautiful music......but the beautiful unobtainable women make me want to go hang myself because I can never make love to them.....good bye cruel cruel world. j/k I guess.

  • @Brannruz, I just happened to pass by, and saw a compliment..You are welcome..I was in love once---I think about it almost everyday of my life ---to keep that love alive and me --to keep me alive..I will never love again. Listening to If I Could, Pat Metheny, makes me fall in love with love, over and over..

  • Bardzo ładnie zrobiony clip, zilustrowany baśniową muzyką Pat'a. Ilekroć słucham jego muzyki, zastanawiam się, skąd bierze się u niego ta niezwykła ilośc pomysłów na wzruszającą i zawsze czułą muzykę. On naprawdę kocha życie i jest kochanym. "Ponadto" jest genialnym kompozytorem i wykonawcą.

  • The women of the video are beautifu (but too thin for my opinion). Yeah, I love look men, boy... What about black, amerindian, oriental, fat and mature women? where are they? I suppouse they don't exist for many men.

  • I do not know if Pat actually was thinking of a women when he played this tune !!

    Maybe it was more mend for spreading of love for who ever is lisning to this song

  • Visit mediaoutletonline. c00m to dl this song.

  • In this moment i have a girl in my mind and i imagine stand by her when i heard this music

  • beautiful song, but I prefer other kind of video...Sorry men, sometimes you forget women as a spectator...:)

  • @66127vicky

    Women are truly the essence of beauty, the pinnacle of creation. Even women can appreciate this.

  • @oz1john

    (and possibly appropriate straight mens' women...) "Know the masculine; keep to the feminine" -Lao Tzu

  • I use this video to go to sleep everyday.

  • @ytsephill

    And you do very kind and wise way to get fabulous night dreams., and peace of mind.

  • @ytsephill ,me too me iria to the bed whit one of girls of the video

  • I found out Pat year ago, when i actually wanted to listen & understand Jazz. I'm happy i started from Pat & Joe Pass and others.

    Few months ago, i really understood what this composition mean for me, when one of my fried passed away. there are some moments in this composition which actually reminds me of her so much! I miss you dear!

  • Great song from the 1985 "First Circle" album.....Pat's ECM discography from the 70's/80's is simply his best work in my opinion!

  • Love the music and the video .. Very befitting for these images .. thanks for sharing ..

  • Sorry folks but its Metheny MUSAK

  • @teddingtontcu How?

  • @teddingtontcu ,

    Yeah!How?

  • @teddingtontcu offer us up one your ballads with or greater compositional depth. You have Mr Metheny and Kenny G entirely confused, which is actually...unforgiveable. But I forgive you....

  • awesome and very peaceful

  • awesome and very peaceful

  • Metheny touches my soul too:)

    bob- san diego

  • Metheny thouches my soul...

  • sublime

  • "First Circle" is an album in the lives with giving whole mind most.

  • 11.45pm and discovering this. Immediate decompression . "If music be the food of love play on" Thankyou

  • Forgetting

  • sublime melodía de dioses. Pat, el mejor.

  • simplemente te hace enamorarte de nueva cuenta, te trasmite paz y tranquilidad, gran tema para iniciar un nuevo dia

  • Dio means God in Italion

  • Combined with this music, you could show me ugly women and i would still love them

  • Pat, we invite you to Gdansk !

  • @champs3333 The best comment in my opinion, thanks. The intention was to show the enchantment of the woman revealed in her eyes.

  • *****

  • Beautiful piece. I play it every morning. It gets me in the proper frame of mind to deal with whatever comes my way.

  • beautiful...

  • great tunes i like it

  • Grande! Sublime! GLORIA A DIO!

  • @olmodalko12free Oh Yeah? Why Dio?

  • Reminds me of Oystein Sevag

  • maravilloso,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

  • I am dreaming, intrinsically absorbed inside a bubble, listening to my heart beat, my consciencious prodding into my past, reminiscing the joyful meetings, his mind in sync with mine, his lips into mine, mine eyes into his....'tis is MAGIC.

  • Pat always play the giutar, as he was "in love". Must be a wonderfull thing to be in love always.

  • @tkljung If i could play like that, i would be in love allways. With my self. :)

  • WOW...He knows...WOW 

  • @tkljung you can be in love always if you want, just love God, then love yourself then your Girlfriend, family, friends in any order but first God then you then the rest....the problem is when someone outside that "circle, perspective" see this and tell you that its not reality its just a dream, but thats not the real problem, the problem is that their lives are the nightmare "we are all creations of God, you decide to return Beautiful Dream or Nightmare, Its your choice"

  • The heights and depths of subtlety and love.

  • Even the hot chicks in the clip aren't as hot as this sound..

  • I love love love this tune.

  • LOVE

  • Great song :) Love how all the pictures were just hot girls! lol

  • My love, my favortie, a tune I could compare to a love I had..so soft, gentle, a yen that never fades, alove that will never die for as long as I live..With him, my world moved in silence, his eyes, made me cry, his lips made me smile, his words made me love myself. He was my best friend until he betrayed this love..

    So now, I walk alone in the winter of my life. Alone.

  • @1954phialin thanks ... you are also a love tune with your words and feelings ... thank you my anonimous friend...

  • Metheny has a way of evoking unique emotions from his instrument. As usual he transports the listener to another place. Music when well played and composed does that...He is an original

  • Beautiful!!!

  • simply beautiful

  • I just love this tune...I feel like walking in the clouds..

  • Wow! If I had a girlfriend or wife, I'd play this for her...

  • @apacheangel007 knowing allot of girls, they wouldent appreciate it. But if you found one that did, you would be a lucky man.

  • @apacheangel007 "if"

  • @apacheangel007 I do.

  • @apacheangel007 you brought tears to my eyes :(....

  • those milfs were pretty :)

  • solo decir, una maravilla

  • Pure love expressed in music.

    A sound like silk - so soft...

    Thanks Pat for all your music.

  • Such a beautiful song and video, congratulations

  • God playing guitar

  • I cry, for this remembers me of the war.

  • zen guitar...

  • OMG ... this breaks my heart it's such a beautiful combination ...!!

  • comparing or displaying beauty with beauty as arlycardoso has done here only reminds me of Pats amazing gift which is as secret and powerful as beauty itself. He renders the lyrics with a magic beauty as nature herself has done before. I have never found anything to be more perfect than either.

  • close ur eyes and b 4 u know it pat has taken u somewhere beautiful....a metheny fanatic....

  • @londonblue61 Yep Pat & Lyle have taken you somewhere beautiful.....

  • Metheny isn't from this world he is a time traveler!

  • Metheny isn't from this world he is a time traveler!

  • I think this is not a love song but in every love affair we feel the same sadness of possible farewell...

    Pat Metheny on If I Could:

    "1983. Dedicated to Wes Montgomery. I wanted to write a song to try to describe the immeasurable gratitude I felt towards the man who is to me the greatest guitarist in history. I did have the chance to have met him once, when I was 13 years old. I asked him for his autograph at the Kansas City Jazz Festival in April of 1968, just a few months before he died. .."

  • @vicomplex2009 - Wow. Thanks for posting this. Didn't know Pat actually met Wes. Love Pat's music. Love Wes's music. Both masters of their craft.

  • Just love this piece....

  • You make m one emotional moment, very very nice, this is what I like

    Your video is so nice, wow... LA CLASSE !!!

  • Esto es el mejor post en el youtube! Eyvallah, brohther!

  • Quite frankly this tune and "First Circle" ---- it really dosen't get much better! Thanks for your marvelous gift Mr. Metheny

  • The two things that I do love more than every else in life...Women and Pat Metheny ´s music...

  • even my cats stop to listen...

  • @linttisari RE: "Even my cats..." Isn't it amazing .

  • Can anybody send me this beautiful song?

    PM me for my email address, cheers!

  • Podemos morir con notas como estas. Es suficiente para ser feliz.

  • @javierdmoreno toda la razon man este tipo es un genio de verdad....

  • Esto es el mejor post en el youtube! Eyvallah, brohther!

  • un pur génie ! un artiste dans toute la splendeur du mot artiste.

  • Are these beautifull girls band members !

    I can imagine that the chick with the panama hat play the second guitar.

    Jazz music in change.

  • No, they're the kind of girls I would go out with... if I could...

  • I like how he has the balls to just play music that is also beautiful. Not like most jazz musicians who only think they're just allowed to play complex. Can take complex and shove it if it doesn't sound musical as far as I'm concerned. This is why Metheny is still on my shelf and others have fallen by the way side.

  • @0932486509 excellent comment! I've been trying to tell younger musicians for years not to get caught up in just playing with speed...whatever the instrument. A melodic approach, along with dynamics, is what has staying power.

  • @joebean14 Jazz has become synonymous with subjectivism which has become a crutch or a lousy excuse for musicians to suck and tell their audiences that, "it's your fault for not understanding my music." All I have to say to such people is that if you want to be understood, then it's your job to make yourself intelligible. Goes for anything else in life as well. Anything that doesn't sound appealing in music equates to vomit.

  • estoy en extasis..........

  • La musica de pat es excelente muy pero muy bueno .

  • If God were a musician, She'd be Pat! 

  • @WalkinLA all this talent is a gift from God. She or He has heard it all, already!

  • ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT. THANK YOU.MY FRIEND

  • Pat plays of love, as we all got it - general, open hearted

  • I like how it says "Copyrigth copyright copyright" on most of the pictures. But lovely music tho'

  • nice song arly, what about the girls.. are they part of the video.. good match :-)

  • Though I've written songs during my life, I have recently begun to complete the work God put into my spirit...there are days, however difficult they may be, when all I need for inspiration is Pat. Sometimes Rachmaninoff and Tchaikovsky, but...it's usually Pat. Thank you for posting this...now, I must write more. Merci au fond de ma coeur.

  • a virtuoso.........

  • ....sweet <3....grandissimo pat.....

  • la sua musica e'una vera compagnia... un pezzo meraviglioso!!

  • I could just listen to this song over and over...it is my heart written to music

  • If you want to know how to write an absolutely magic melody just listen Schubert, Tschaikowsky, Rachmaninoff and Pat ... !!

  • Che meraviglia!!!!!

  • One word...refreshing...

    Love the artistic quality

    Thanks for sharing Arly

  • One one...Beautiful...

    Great song and artsy.......love it!
