Beatiful song. You can feel it deep in your soul.

I feel like there’s this feeling you get that you only experience when you listen to certain songs. Your heart starts trembling ever so slightly, you feel tears welling up behind your eyes, your breathing gets just a little slower, and your emotions are so twisted. You’re a combination of inspired, depressed, hopeful, solemn, and calm. This song does it.

this song has done more to help me process the loss of my daughter than any traditional therapy has. it so perfectly reflects my grief. “sometimes you got to just” said almost like a whisper and incomplete - because it’s up to us to live what that is. sometimes i got to just let the grief consume me, sometimes i got to just put one foot in front of the other, sometimes i got to just live and hope and rise again.

This has to be one of the most beautiful songs ever written. I was so lucky to see and hear Patrick Watson two nights in a row last December; and both nights, standing in front of the stage listening, I was in tears during this piece, which cuts right to the heart. Anyone who has ever experienced intense sadness, for whatever reason, at some point during their life, will be affected by the tremendous emotion of this song... I have been enthralled by each and every piece of Patrick Watson’s since he started out. There is truly no other musician remotely like him on earth. This song, along with others on this latest compilation...well, it’s some of the most beautiful and mesmerizing music ever written. May we have the joy of listening to Patrick Watson for decades and decades to come, please! For those who love Montreal, like I do, the video, too, is exquisite! Montreal is beautiful, and the little dance Patrick Watson does towards the end of the video, well what can I say? It makes me smile (through my damp eyes). : ) Patrick Watson, thank you so, so, so much for making our lives better, every single day, through your music. I hope you realize how important you are, to so many people, and how your writing and singing have even changed our lives. This is heartfelt.

You read my mind. When this came out, strangely here in Australia we were having those devastating fires. I lived in a very English green oasis, but to the north and south the fires were raging. There was smoke in every breath for weeks. We were devastated for the loss of wildlife and this mesmerising, exquisite song just expressed so much of how we were feeling, ironically about a river, flooding. My heart flooded with tears for months. And yet the hope is that it will pass, and it did.☺️

God has given this man something this world has never known... And that's the straight truth

Give me a heartbreak so that I can listen to this song on repeat all day.

This is one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard, I want to dissolve in it, I want to leave this world with this song playing when I eventually leave this difficult but beautiful planet .

Always reminds me of huricaines in Puerto Rico. Such a disaster here...yet people are calmed and have faith, although holding on to their TV's...this songs transmists that feeling when the heavy winds and rain don't stop for several and I mean several hours...and the outside it's floded, rivers out of control and rooftops on the ground...yet, you try to find peace, and this is it.

I migrated to Canada few months back. Prior to that I had my best days in my home country Sri Lanka with my best friends. I met them in my university and we were together for more than 10 years now. We would go out every week, drink and laugh. Had so much fun. I know I would never find such kind of friends in my life and I miss them so so so much and words cant express the loneliness Im feeling. Every time I hear this song, I remember the great times I had back in Sri Lanka with my friends. It’s like a timeline of events that comes into my mind. Its so sad 💔

I dream of Montreal. Patrick Watson is a true artist.

I love how this song can be interpreted in so many different ways. For example, it could be talking about a real flood where people evacuate their houses but it could also be talking about a flood of tears, when things get too much and you find yourself not being able to stop crying. As well though, it could mean a metaphorical flood, as if you are drowning in all of your problems and hanging on to the last bit of hope ‘Mary kept sowing, holding on to her TV, even though the water was rising past her knees’. Beautiful song ❤️ Well done Patrick.

Eines der schönsten und harmonischsten Lieder, die sich mir je erschlossen haben; einfach grandios!

Tonight in Mexico the episode came out live and I had seen the episode a year ago and it gave me something that I don't know how to say. Bro...

This is real music and talent.

Damn, that's just beautiful. Tears.

The first time I heard this song, I had my headphones on. I literally sat down on my staircase and got emotional. I rarely get emotional.

I absolutely love this song. Gives me goose bumps and brings tears to my eyes every time. Can't wait to hear it live !

Thank you, I did not even realise that I had stopped feeling. This woke me up to the beauty of how connected we are, even in our sadness

Sounds just like energy for the soul.

I think this song can remind us about our vulnerability and how we can embrace it. Many things can be difficult but we can endure it, we can search for support in our beloved ones and rise. We are amazing, we can be so strong even when we feel crumble.

Monsieur, Mesdames, Patrick Watson.

She elegantly moves across the face of the water. With a poise and grace unlike any other. Wild and free she cannot be taken. Wild and free she cannot be tame. A mystery of the air, a light upon the water, a lover's song, a hidden name.

I'm in Dominican Republic in vacance ( Samana, Bahia Principe Grand Cayacoa) ....I listened Patrick Watson and life it's so beautiful ! Thank you !❤🎹🤗🎹❤

In the current COVID context, the lyrics of this magnificent song are almost prescient... Disturbing... Luckily we have them, these sublime artists! We have more than ever, need them! Dear artists of all stripes, you have our gratitude.

J’ai vu et entendu cette chanson à l’émission En direct de l’univers et je suis tombée en amour avec cette version juste voix et piano. Quelle belle découverte pour moi.

This man is a genius!

Al pensar en alguien mientras escuchas una canción, es la primera razón de la melancolía y vacilación siendo el padecimiento de la desilusión de un amorío. Al principio sientes como si estuvieses en el paraíso flotando, sintiendo el aire rosar tu piel, en paz y armonía. Mientras se reproducen los dúlces recuerdos de aquellos momentos en tu mente con la sinfonía de la canción perféctamente coordinada. ¡Después... viene la terrible caída! La desesperación, miedo, el terror de la bajada; desilusión. Todas tus esperánzas hechas trizas, destrozadas, sin remedio. Y mientras caes, la canción es la que hace que acelere todo. Los recuerdos, la emoción, la nostalgia. La canción aumenta más el sufrimiento y el desamor. La desilución y la tristeza de aquello tan hermoso, perfécto, único, que tal vez fue la primera vez que pudiste sentir o experimentar en tu vida hasta ahora y que ha sido lo más importante de tu vida, y que terminó con rapidéz. Sufriendo, dolida, nostálgica, lastimáda... todo a terminado, y llega la étapa más difícil: el olvido.

GRAN COMENTARIO.

Omg. I'm f* crying. This is amazing.

I wish you were here to hear this,miss you always.

What a beautiful man. The last time I heard Patrick was during his Close to Paradise tour ten years ago. By the sounds of it, he's now found it. "You're losing control; there ain't any words in this world that's going to cure this pain, sometimes its going to fall down on your shoulders, but you're going stand through it all...but you can't keep you're head above these troubled waters - here comes the river over the flames" The world seems to have lost this measure of grace, humility and above all joy. So wonderful to hear a song that acknowledges that freedom and joy is found in accepting the world as it comes at us - not in the arrogance of so-called self-empowerment. A song, as best i can tell, about baptism in the spirit. 3:48 says it all.

I recognize so many things from my neighborhood in this video. A lot of it was shot in the Plateau Mont Royal and Lachine Canal, both in Montreal. It makes me really emotional and really grateful for living in this city

You cannot know how much this song has helped me. It helped me express my grief, my defeat, and then it helped me burn to keep the storm away. Thank you, Patrick.

You were already my "if you could only take one artist to the deserted island..." choice. You didn't have to bring me to tears.

Congrats. I've just added this song to maybe only 10 others that can reduce me to a puddle. I played this for my wife to make sure it wasn't just me and she was crying like a baby, "This is the best song I've heard all year." Gorgeous.

I can't stop listening to this. I just cannot. Past heartwrentching. Thank you for your music. I can't stop crying to this

Some people are musicians, but Patrick is something else that is quite simply ineffable, he is clearly tapped into something far beyond the cosmos, and I thank God everyday he is, because his music fills me with something that I simply cannot explain in words, but when it happens, it is an absolutely beautiful thing ✨💖✨

What a beautiful song! That must have been quite an experience for those in the video.

That song makes me cry, its precious

Cara, que música incrível!

Thank you for this beautiful song

Also here after watching The World Beyond. It's so rare to have a song and a scene feel like they were meant for one another. It's only the second time I've felt compelled to search for the name of a song after watching a t.v. show (the first was "Do You Feel It?" - Rick & Morty). Well done. It's a great song on its own.
