I’m 95 and this is my favorite song

I'm a 70-year old hard-core rock 'n roller, and this is one of the best pieces of music I've ever heard in my life! Thanks so much for posting this bit of genius!

You gotta swim to the top of the water, boys Into the waves of the shimmering light She's gonna drag you to the shores But you don't know who you are Take, take your time for now You’re gonna take, take your time Welcome to the city with too many roads You're not gonna know where to go Just follow all the pretty lights Get lost till it feels right The places you will go It can be shiny, tiny, strange and windy But if you're doing it right It's gonna get a little lonely, but that's all right The only thing you need to fear Is shaking hands with the man in the mirror Blah blah, blah blah blah Big talkers are talking But you don't wanna hear 'Cause when it gets easy Don't be drowning in the dreamer's hands Don't be drowning in the dreamer's hands Get out, get out while you can Oh, the places you will go Oh, the places you will go The places you will go Sometimes you don't even wanna know The storm, she's breaking hard tonight Just put your head down on her shoulders 'Cause you know, ‘cause you know she's gonna pass Take your time and make this moment last Take your time, take your time, take your time tonight Take your time before it's over Doesn't really matter Where you are Oh, the places The places you will go Go from here Places

I don't throw this word around lightly. This album is a MASTERPIECE from start to finish.

this is exactly like the music I compose in my dreams and can never remember in the morning

I JUST NOTICED THIS: THE GUY BEHIND PATRICK IS PLAYING THE GUITAR WITH A BABY HAND.... hilarious!

Dear Patrick Watson, thanks for helping me go through my first year of uni.

My ultimate dream collaboration would be Patrick Watson and Thom Yorke.

I was on a road trip in Norway with my boyfriend a couple weeks ago and this song started playing from my playlist while he was driving. We were in the middle of the green mountains, seeing waterfalls falling through them and beautiful rivers and I couldn't believe that moment was happening with one of my very favorite songs. I got goosebumps and couldn't help crying out of happiness. I'm sure I'll never forget that feeling. Thank you so much for this masterpiece.

So I've listened to this about 1000 times, still not bored of it....not other song has done this to me....fucking geniuses. Great Canadian Band!

Hands down! It's amazing, how Patrick feels and understand melody (I mean, from highest shelf) and visuals. All these small almost unheard-able notes... Thank you!

I'm seriously so obsessed with this song !

Before TikTok steals this song… making my mark. This song saved me from a sinking ship. Reminded me who I am and who I will be.

This song refracts light in multiple, pleasing ways. Brilliant!

Magic...absolutely perfect sound waves....

Song saved my life 🖤

This song is like a drug from the first note to the last chord of guitar,….simply incredible ! thanks Patrick and see you in Paris next november

more than magic. unique singer

I just reminisced on my entire life of 28 years of living listening to this track. Just beautiful.

A LOT of strong and beautiful music on this album. Haunting and intriguing, too.

~ Total Love Patrick Watson is a musical genius ~

hands down best album in my collection

Only 300,000 views?... I know I've watched this more times than that... must be a bug.

Toujours le son unique de Patrick Watson! Vraiment, ça parle à l'âme!

God. I found him years ago and I've never forgotten. I had his music in my head during bootcamp. Really relieving

Ugh voice of an angel😭😍🙏🏼

5 years on, I discover the song at 27 and I vibe to it, and it helps me make a 5 minute, 27 second assessment of my whole life thus far. Patrick brings tunes from more luminous realms.

Genius

The places this song takes me ❤

Sad I just discovered this song..................Thrilled that I did. My absolute new favourite song. I listen to everything from metal to opera and been waiting for a song like this for years. Thank you Patrick Watson & the band.

[Verse 1] You gonna swim to the top of the water, boys Into the wells of the shimmer light She's gonna drag you to the shore But you don't know who you are Take, take your time for now You gonna take, take your time [Chorus] Welcome to the city with too many roads You're not gonna know where to go Just follow all the pretty lights Get lost till it feels right The places you will go [Verse 2] It can be shiny, tiny, strange and windy But if you're doing it right It's gonna get a little lonely But that's all right The only thing you need to fear Is shaking hands with the man in the mirror [Chorus] Blah blah, blah blah blah Big talkers are talking But you don't wanna hear Cause when it gets easy Don't be drowning in the dreamer's hands Don't be drowning in the dreamer's hands Get out, get out while you can Oh, the places you will go Get out, get out, get out, get out Oh, the places you will go Get out, get out, get out, get out Oh, the places you will go Get out, get out, get out, get out Sometimes you don't even wanna know Get out, get out, get out, get out [Bridge] The storm, she's breaking hard tonight Just put your head down on her shoulders Cause you know, cause you know, you know she's gonna pass Take your time and make this moment lasts Take your time, take your time, take your time tonight Take your time before it's over [Instrumental] [Outro] Doesn't really matter where you are Oh, the places you will go from here

This song helped me get out of an abusive relationship. The lyrics felt like they spoke to me in the way I needed and the music just simmered it in. ❤

Amazing song! I come here very often!

He just keeps dropping these sonic gem bombs on us. They are like a 4:00 head massage.
