Hi Kenny, bless your heart ❤️ I'm just now reading this and you left it two years ago and I completely agree with you there is no goodbye it's I'll see you later.. I believed that through destiny you will hold hands with your mother again ❤️💞❤️ okay Kenny you sound like a groovy human being talk to you later..
so much emotion, lonliness, solitude, longing and desire, all in one composition. the ending lifts me up and reminds me that my true home is in the presence of those whom I love and those who love me, and , finally, to be reunited w my Maker the Lover of my spirit and soul. love well my friends. I've had two major deaths in the family in 2016 and now I know there's no time to waste on anything but goodness, forgiveness, Grace and love.
Rich, too true. I was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer last September and I say "I love you" to my 15-year-old son every day. He may be without me in a couple of years, I may not ever see him graduate college, see him marry or see my grandchildren. I will however be back with our Maker much sooner than expected and be near departed loved ones. Life and love are everlasting! So love love love to the max while you're still in this realm :-D
My brother passed away on June 12, 2021 and one of my other brothers was looking for music to have playing during the video photo montage we were putting together. Along with other typical songs people may think of like Dust in the Wind by Kansas - I asked my sibling to listen to this song to add to the music. He wasn't familiar with it. I said... just listen to it. He was in tears before the song ended. This song, with no lyrics, invokes a deep sadness and longing. Like something or someone you've missed dearly. Needless to say, my brother is going to end the montage music with this song.
I'm from a time when we wrote with pen and paper and mailed our letters. This melody invokes those feelings I got when I received a letter from my mother when I was away from home at school or in the military. Pat Metheny is a master at bringing back those feelings thru his music.
This song is so captivating to me, I can’t help but cry, because it reminds me when I lost my son. Every song is a story.. can’t imagine his intent for writing this song, but simply beautiful
There is a God.....thoughtful enough to have Metheny arrange a piece that will touch so many hearts with this piece..and tears of thoughtful joy will surface....Thank you ,God and Pat.m.
This beautiful ballad takes my mind and soul to very deep places... and I think of those whom I love...

Fight like hell to celebrate your time with him. I had stage 3 crc....and am here 19 years later. Have the relationship with your son you desire. Blessings to you.
@@brucemoeller Thank you Bruce, to you as well dear cancer survivor! So happy you had your 19 years and counting! 'Precious' is not strong enough a word :-) I fought hard through chemo and other natural treatments in the last 2 years, and just yesterday came out of the hospital after undergoing a tumor removal from my brain~ I was lucky: only resulting in minor locomotive/nerve/fine movement damage but my mind, mental quickness, emotional health and my sense of humor are all INTACT! Praise the LORD! Bless you brother :-D
@@brucemoeller To you both: I've also had cancer, and the worst was a Squamous Cell Carsinoma, and all three were faught back in 1988. I've had two close calls since then, but we're not just cancer survivors. We're cancer conquerors! Pat has taught me to take nothing for granted and to live in the moment, and I want to meet him and sing as a token of my gratitude to God and to Pat and all those, including Pedro Aznar, who've been so fortunate to have worked with him. Cancer wasn't the only battle I've faught. For 46 years, I've also struggled with Bilateral Atypical Trigeminal Neuralgia, (aka the Suicide Disease), and I'm finally conquering it with the help of Infrared laser therapy for eleven months and counting. For 44 years, Pat's music has been so much like a close friend that never gave up on me even when I felt like doing so, especially after a mini-stroke in 2002, and it was hemmhorragic! I'm not writing this to make anyone feel sorry for me, because I'm so blessed to be alive during a time when I have access to the help I need. Moreover, I've been totally blind since birth, and I believe that I'm even blessed to have come this far by the grace and mercies of God. God opened the eyes of my soul, and I'm content to know that He knows so much better what each and everyone of us can endure when we have the support and love to share with so many people, and no doubt, we're loved, because we were first loved. This is coming from someone who also endured nearly 14 years of physical, sexual and emotional abuse as a child. My twin sister, brother and I are so blessed to be able to pick and choose our battles, and we are fortunate to be able to use our God-given free will to find faith, hope and love again after many years of emotional distance. To me, this also proves that having one's sight is only one part of the total equasion. We have to use all our senses and some additional senses that I know Pat has talked about, namely a sense of humor and a sensitivity to others. I hope you all are well, and if you decide to respond to this, no worries. I use text-to-speech software that allows me to hear what I'm typing and to read these and others' comments. I know this was deep, but we're not alone, even though technology can sometimes distance us from others if we let it. It can't be this way if we're going to make a difference, and it takes a willingness to take some risks to express ourselves hopefully to help bring people closer to one another. Thank you both and others who have the courage to be a bit vulnerable. I believe Pat and Lyle's music allows us to do that at times, because I believe we can tell how much they appreciated each others' friendships. Take care.
My oldest son is moving out; I told my wife, I don't have anything else to say but this is what I want to say, this song. Nothing else needs to be said.
This song speaks clearly even to the newest generation like myself through lo-fi and important, not said issues about life and pain. I'm glad I found this great artist...
Increadible touching music. Talking about pain, I wonder how it feels to be around 300 days a year on the road and reading a "letter from home", with pictures of your wife and children. How many tears have been shed in the making of a masterpiece like this? I love you Pat
thanks for posting. i, too, cry with this song. lyle mays is so sensitive...i miss him alot. there's about 5 songs from metheny i want played at my funeral...this is one
That is heart wrenching and I understand it completely. This music invokes such a profound feeling of sadness and joy. Bless you and hope this music has helped you. RIP Lyle
Clara, tan de luna. Siempre has sido como un ensueño a orillas de mar lejano; como pasitos de notas de piano en lontananza. En estas poemaciones, te invoco en el sencillo remembrar de tu esencia tan nocturna.
there are countles different emotions that words can't describe, but music can. letter from home is a perfect title for this beautiful little piece of art.
I have the same emotions every time I hear this beautiful song. I never tire of it. Says so much yet simple and to the point. I love it. Now I must go get a tissue.
Such a beautiful and peaceful song. It’s not a holiday song but it’s as much one as any other, maybe even more. Even sadder that the great Lyle Mays is gone. RIP dear Lyle.
Soooo, sooo beautiful. I can only ask why didn't you make it longer??? I just keep replaying and replaying it. I may try and learn this on the viola and extend it. I really deserves it.
I always cry when I hear this song. I think of my mom, I miss her so much! One day I'll see her again, at "home."
You can cry more now. Lyle Mays, RIP 2/10/20
♥♥
I know exactly what you mean.

OMG, Me too.
R.I.P. Lyle Mays. Your musical genius shall never die and your beautiful musical compositions shall forever live!
Lyle was so emotional and real... this marvellous and unique touch, this way to create... we will miss him, really :(

Beautiful comment. Blessings.
I would like to second that. Well said. This certainly does make one think about such losses

Very real
After more than 42 years of listening to Pat Metheny's music, I don't think I could exist without it in my life. His music is the breath I breathe.
Lyle, you made it home.
Rest in peace brother.😢😢

Great to see I'm not the only one shedding a tear every time I listen to this masterpiece. Thank you all, I'm feeling relieved! 😅
this song is pure beauty

Lyle did such a great job on this. Sad to know we lost him.
Esas melodías extraordinarias que, cada vez que las escuchas, te sorprenden como si fuese la primera vez... Solo Pat logra ese efecto.

My wonderful aunt just passed. I remember our years with love & Letter from Home is a beloved song reminding me of her...
This is timeless. IMO the years Lyle Mays spent with Pat Matheny were their most productive years. Musical genius to be sure.
0:00-2:33 is the best part.
R.I.P. Lyle. This on hurts. All our friends are drifting away.
This song just carries me away in quiet reflection.
MAY 2020.. STILL AMAZING 💔💔💔💔💔💔💔❤️❤️❤️

Can't even say just how much I love this piece
thanks for posting. i, too, cry with this song. lyle mays is so sensitive...i miss him alot. there's about 5 songs from metheny i want played at my funeral...this is one
This song always hit me in the feels, even more so now with Lyle Mays passing, RIP
Saying good bye to someone whom I loved with all my heart, and didn't love me back. Sometimes that all you have. Thanks for finally letting me cry.
That is heart wrenching and I understand it completely. This music invokes such a profound feeling of sadness and joy. Bless you and hope this music has helped you. RIP Lyle
Peace be with you.

Pura poesia, non ci sono parole per descrivere tale bellezza...
accoppiata all'altro capolavoro "dream of the return"....
Listening to this old-time masterpiece with a glass of chilled larger. What a combination it can be.
Key strokes in the upper register… nothing like Pat Metheny and Lyle Mays at work. I hear this and I’m saddened that Lyle isn’t with us anymore.
His songs are so beautiful..I'm crying again.
there are countles different emotions that words can't describe, but music can. letter from home is a perfect title for this beautiful little piece of art.
This inspires me to pick up a pen, and real stationery, and write some REAL letters to those who mean so much in this life of mine...
I have the same emotions every time I hear this beautiful song. I never tire of it. Says so much yet simple and to the point. I love it. Now I must go get a tissue.
This my 9/11 song always been for the last 18 yrs
Thanks for sharing your beautiful talent with us all these years Lyle Mays. ☹️💔 🙏 Rest in peace
Such a beautiful and peaceful song. It’s not a holiday song but it’s as much one as any other, maybe even more. Even sadder that the great Lyle Mays is gone. RIP dear Lyle.
Defining the feelings you have for the someone and only special one in your life.
Such beauty, and so sad. Stirs the memories of all the most emotive times in my life...

Què hermoso tema,.....tuve, y seguramente tendrè la suerte de seguir escuchàndolo en piano por mi amigo Ruy Barros..... lo hace magistralmente ....
What a profoundly sensitive song.

Increible!! El Mozart de XXI.

So beautiful 😍
So inspiring..
Pat Metheny Thanks
The perfect song ?
Es pura magia!!
got to know the "cover" from Noa while I was a teen, the composition already eluded me. the original is even more special.
...Para siempre en mi corazón...Te amo. 💋💖🌹
Soooo, sooo beautiful. I can only ask why didn't you make it longer??? I just keep replaying and replaying it. I may try and learn this on the viola and extend it. I really deserves it.
Did you learn it in your viola?
Viola is a beautiful instrument that doesn't have the respect it deserves ):
Yes, much like restoration, a perfectly valid school of magic, just ask Colette marenne
letter well received.
this is good music to feel lonely to
I only feel lonely because not much of my friends know or even like this kinda music, which is a god damn shame right their
I enjoy my alone time very much now. Music like this does help.
Stupenda
Perfect!
