Patrick Watson - The Great Escape

[spada283]

lol why are people arguing about rap on a patrick watson video? shut up and appreciate this music

[achk133]

relief......

[pugggs]

the guitar was ruining this song.

[BadRomance82]

Dieser Sänger ist einfach perfekt! Sowas ist Musik ;)

[1NAsssh]

So fuckin perfect!

[breakern1]

FINALLY an excentric genuis musician, who doesn't care about anything but his beautiful music

[pugggs]

@breakern1 yeah, because there aren't any....? what a silly comment.

[breakern1]

@pugggs than it's even sillier commenting on a silly moment. douchebag

[jenngrace111]

4 ppl need hearing aids

[HolinessWarrior]

Just one thing... Can someone please tell me what exactly it is that he's saying? lol.

[djonil996]

Freeze...

[min2444]

this is fuckin amazin!!! EXCEEELLLLENT!

[tbips]

he's so musical. i enjoy every tunes he made. soothing, that word maybe how i describe his music :)

[BRNNDO30]

You know, i thought i was a fairly straight guy before i found out about Patrick Watson. Now I'm not so sure... He makes the most amazing music! :)

[RAFiiEE]

I can't describe with words how much beautiful this is

But all I can say is

Thank you

[dadoune972]

How can someone be that talented?!

Beautiful song, beautiul lyrics, beautiful voice, beautiful melody!

I can feel it going through my whole body.

Weird huh?

[sofreakinsueme]

just discovered beauty. (:

and to those arguing about music genres -everybody has the right to enjoy their styles of music - i love alsorts, so wouldn slag some one off for liking heavy metal, compared to another liking classical- each to their own- each is beautiful, in its own way (:

[grootoma]

dude i'm in love right now.

[THEZOOLOGIST123]

this is the music my generation should be interested in, not some bullshit rap by eminem. This song actually has meaning!

[JEA21B]

@THEZOOLOGIST123 Eminem in particular does have meaning too.

[THEZOOLOGIST123]

@JEA21B

eminem...... meaning? He's a poser bro, he thinks just because he was born in detroit he can act like hes gangster. Eminem does have meaning, he stands for white trash druggie who has no singing talent at all.

Thanks

[JEA21B]

@THEZOOLOGIST123 no singing talent? Rap isn't about singing, it's about rapping. And he can both rap, and write nice lyrics. The restpublicized "gangsters" are posers, lil wayne, Jay-Z and the rest, they are the posers. All they talk about is money and bitches.

[THEZOOLOGIST123]

@JEA21B

Rap is music for ignorant, simple minded people. They don't have the capabilities to recognize true musical talent, and yes, rap IS NOT singing, it is a bunch of low IQ wanna be gangsters (Eminem included) blubbering Fuck this, Fuck That, and talking about how tough they are. Eminem is not smart bro, sorry to break it to you. his songs will not be talked about a couple years from now, however, music like this (Patrick Watson, Rolling Stones, Beatles) Will live on forever.

[JEA21B]

@THEZOOLOGIST123 "blubbering Fuck this, Fuck That" Well that's how they were raised. I don't see how swearing is not a part of real music. WHILE being gay for example, or black, is. Swearing might be a part of their music and whoever doesn't like it, does not listen. The same way as other people diss metal music about it being loud and distorted (which I find great). So it's ALL real music, the only definition we can make is as of what we like. eg I like Eminem, Sepultura, and Patrick Watson. :)

[THEZOOLOGIST123]

@JEA21B

Yah fuck that I hate heavy metal as well, whatev man, rap is not true music, i pray to God that 200 years from now music created by the beatles, the stones, and other music such as "The Great Escape" Is still being listened to. The second bullshit rap dominates the music world, which has already begun, then the sooner the meaningful age of music dies. We both have our opinions man, i'm fine with that. But lets end this discussion and agree to disagree.

Nick

[RAFiiEE]

@THEZOOLOGIST123 If you listen to Eminem's song ''When I'm Gone'' you can actually understand, if you're not too close-minded, that there is a meaning and that his lyrics are beautiful. You can't judge him without really knowing what he's been through. And swearing can actually be used in a great song such as ''Rootless Tree'' by Damien Rice when he sings ''Fuck you'' many times. AND he's an amazing artist. So please stop arguing about what people should listen to. Thank you.

[angusjoeQC]

@RAFiiEE wtf...

[huey980]

@RAFiiEE Only a few of Eminem's songs actually have meaning, the majority though are pretty terrible especially songs he features in, for example his rap in Nicki Minage's (the worst artist I've heard for a while) song Roman Revenge, and i quote:

"I ain’t into S and M, but my whip’s off the chain

a little drop of candy paint drips off the frame

twisted-ass mind, got a pretzel for a brain

an eraser for a head, f-cking pencil for a frame

you don’t like it then peel off bitch"

Mindless IMO

[koikazu95]

@THEZOOLOGIST123 im sorry, but you are wrong. i dont like rap usually or listin to eminem, but i do not agree that rap is only for ignorant, or simple minded people. its probably because youve only been listining to mainstream rap, but in general, rap is not all just fuck this fuck that. there are some inteligent underground rap like Cyne. Check them out. expecially Never Forget Pluto.

[THEZOOLOGIST123]

@koikazsorry bro, i still hate rap!

[everybodyneedsme]

love this guy, love his music...

[FroGoUne]

Excellent ^^ il parle français ont dirait même qu'il a l'accent Québécois hahahaha!! Excellent ^^

[asifineededaname]

2 people disliked this ??? HOW ??? please tell me they were too drunk and hit the wrong button.

[ohhayitslillie]

I've heard this song tons of times, but decided to check it out a live version.

Let's just say, I was so stunned by his beautiful voice that I cried.

<3 Patrick Watson.

[ToyRoss90]

Je savais pas qu'il parlait français ces de la bombe sa!

[Curlylarson]

@ToyRoss90 Visiblement il parle mieux français que toi. 2 fautes en 1 phrase --'

[elliotwstone]

Patrick Watson gives me a broner.

[maeleong2000]

He makes my heart melt.

[tohellwithpurplepeop]

influenced by the likes of coldplay is a bad thing ? ! this kid is an amazing canadian musician - with talent WELL beyond that of chris martin - and im a fan of coldplay - but this guy - this guy - makes chris martin look like a chump - face it .

[Parasuperpente]

Excellent... EXCELLENT.

[silentthought38]

This song gives me hope.

[BtoMrz]

coldplay???

[lambournledge]

@BtoMrz doesnt sound anything like chris martin you twat

[BtoMrz]

@lambournledge shut up!!!!! ignorant

[lambournledge]

@BtoMrz how am i ignorant?!

[iceicebaby1984]

@lambournledge kinda does. not heaps but saying he sounds nothing like him makes u seem pretty ridiculous...

[lambournledge]

@iceicebaby1984 troll.

[Scayeldnb]

@BtoMrz thought the same :)

[switchfootroxs]

@BtoMrz

on this song I have to agree it sounds a lot like what coldplay would play but more like coldplay's older stuff (parachutes). Watson's other songs are pretty different from anything I've heard though (Beijing and Wooden Arms).

[BtoMrz]

@switchfootroxs

I give the reason

[BtoMrz]

@switchfootroxs

I give the reason

[BtoMrz]

@switchfootroxs I give the reason

[BtoMrz]

Coldplay????

[MustLoveCookies]

I love his music, :)

[MagnumCrackoff]

hehehe, excellent...!!

[Thesockmunchers]

He sounds so good live!! :) JELOUS. I only sound good recorded... :/

[Blaqalicious]

Oh my gosh I can feel my heart beat...I'll sleep soundly because this man can actually sing to the soul. Well he sings to mine : )

[Hallelujah42]

I love Watson. His vocals are SO unique. His songs are like creepy lullabies. What I love most about him is that he's one of the few artists that actually puts feelings into his music.

[pepperleg]

@Hallelujah42 While I agree with most of your sentiments, you can't be serious that 'few' artists puts feeling into their music

[vidro2]

Quebecois represent!

Amazing song, Vocals and Lyrics.

[BasketballmaTTers]

Thank you, Tropicana.

[cherryblossom013579]

I need a great escape from my bad day right now...

[honey371]

I love this song and this singer's voice is very haunting..not Dana Carveylike at all...and I do know the song you mean

Golfdewd

[AuntieLittleSarah]

tropicana also brought me here.

[Golfdewd]

I hate to knock a fellow Canuck and I'm sure he's very capable but this wimpy offering reminds me of the Dana Carvey "Chopping Broccoli" takeoff on SNL a decade or two ago. He sounds like Dan Hill on Quaaludes. Awful, just scary.

[kotter49]

This is simply brilliant.

[mulotwo]

Beautiful !

[alextall95]

Someone know where i can the sheet for the song?

[jparkolonie]

@alextall95 its mostly just B, a form of E and A#m i think...

[alextall95]

Lol...

"Ha ben oui tu parles français c bon ca! Eexcellent!! Eexcellent!!!!"

xD

Anyway he is good... and from QUEBEC!! Musician from Quebec are always good... xD Everyone love them... Just look the comments here...

Je sais pas pk mais les québécois sont toujours d brutes en musique =)

[cristowall]

[charlesolivierwm]

[modestmite]

[TheBrahoule]

un quebecois!!

[Slipslide998]

tropicana brought me here

[YongeCMusic]

[theewillis]

[livelovedance122]

[dynamitewalls]

I saw him a couple weeks prior to this show in Regina, and it was without a doubt one of the greatest shows I've ever been too. I love this man.

[boybianchi]

the guy is disturbingly genious.

[SuperHayworth]

He is too wonderful! I just saw him in Lisbon and the concert was amazing! Beautiful!

[iceicebaby1984]

[diriven]

"marry me"

and such, on videos.

..

but lord, this guy has the most beautiful voice I think I've ever heard.

[Debbielein8190]

[suppie100]

When was he in Calgary?

AHH

omg two years ago.

[ContesPourTous]

So good Guys !!

Nice to met a new Canadian group.

I am from Quebec and I am listenning you for the first time.

***************************

Catherine ♥

[fostokjian]

[mosdomo]

[Lepianotriste88]

é op ! 1 pti tour dans mes favoris :) J me suis abonné alor dé k tu sortira une belle video comme celle-ci je serai une des première informée :D Aline

Hollie

[peaceloveandliz]

[tibo51n]

bon son la famille!

[xxxMARIExxxONE]

c est magnifique !

quel artiste !!

j aime beaucoup ..

Bravo ! et merci pour ce doux moment decoute

kisssou Marie@

[haccuk]

I know Patrick wrote this but I much prefer the interpretation by the young Canadian singer from Quebec, Elie Dupuis, who is simply magnificent

[MissingStrings]

His accent is weird :S

Never heard anyone talk like that in my life...

Is he like...halfway between the English and French speaking parts of Canada?

[SomeKid]

Well, he is from Quebec. Mine is kind of like that too.

[TheHumanFact0r]

Generally when people talk a language that isn't there first, it's not going to sound right. He doesn't sound like an "average" Engish person because English is probably his second language. The same applies to me because I speak French, but will never sound like a true French person because it is my seconds language! Hope that clears things up, haha.

[0pinkfloyd0]

il parle français!!! youpi!

[philmaster288]

il parle meme le joual....ces etonnant..est-il quebecois?

[0pinkfloyd0]

et oui! le groupe est montréalais!

[philmaster288]

génial :D !!! quel fierté donc !

[banananosplit]

Il est originaire et habite une ville anglophone à l'ouest de l'île de Montréal et comme presque tous les Montréalais, il parle 2 langues. Mais c'est avant tout un anglophone dont le français est la langue seconde... et, surtout, un des plus brillants musiciens de sa génération.

[9ties]

<3 love

[hickorychip]

this is not his best, but it still does not detract from the fact that he is one of the best musicians out there... by musicians, I mean lyricist as well. He makes good soothing music. Chimes to that!

[maimailev]

o , my , god !!!!!

he is just an angle ......

[VreeFisions]

I love you too

[carn79]

awesome song!

[davidoffon]

There was a storm and it drank, records broken but still spoken in my head.

[dimmuslip]

just a god, he is just a god

[davidoffon]

Stunned, stunning, punning and running to the record ship around the corner.

[swimdreamer]

like that comment..

[dokajunk]

Geweldig nummer, zijn cd gaat zeker mee naar een onbewoond eiland!

[keukenmachine]

Zeker weten :)

[Tomtuber1988]

this video got me through finals! WOOT! I love it

[leahnatashagh]

no words

[Tomtuber1988]

great performance, I've been listening to a cover that I thought surpassed the recording but this is even better...

[LionheartRich1]

T'es trop bon Patrick, merci !!

[eddiemcgregory]

Great song, great video :)

[muscade22]

excellent!

[thebomb321]

Oh, and beautifully shot also!

:)

[thebomb321]

his voice is so easy on the ears, such relaxingly beautiful song.

[drew1059]

can anyone put a tutorial up for this song? pleeeaaase, i cant find it anywhere :(

[MatthijsSteur]

Wonderful, thanks a lot!

[mmelapointe]

[supradude7891]
