My Father died this May. He had a big influence in my taste of music, politics, and the way i see the world today. We played that song at his burial at sea... the melody sounded loud over the smashing waves and the crying of the Seagulls, it was one of the most beautifull and sad things i experienced in my life, but i hardly believe that he would have loved it, because it united the two things he loved most in life: The open wide ocean and this beautifull music. I can not listen to this song without crying, though i love it because it reminds me so much on my father...
Antonio me hace recordar a mi querida madre, su vida, sus luchas y batallas, y siempre lloro, pero un llanto de esperanza de poder encontrarnos nuevamente algún dia!
Antonia es uno de los temas más queridos de Pat Metheny. La introducción y primera melodía interpretadas por el acordeón con sensación de ausencia de tiempo (no se trataba de un acordeón real, sino del synclavier) transportan al oyente a un estado de suma placidez. La entrada de la sección rítmica y el solo de guitarra, uno de los mejores jamás grabados por Metheny, elevan dicho estado a cotas inimaginables. El estilo y la clase con que se vuelve a la melodía final, y ese leve silbido que profiere Nana Vasconcelos, son detalles impagables. (TomaJazz)
All his songs are really more than music ... they make me cry, they make me laugh, marvel & surprised. Every time i hear him playing, it is a new adventure. And it is also a secret ... I wonder where he buys those striped Shirts ...lol
His music sounds all the time like he is taking a bath in a candle light and sings the melody. You hear the breathing and it's like he is singing the melody. I love his music and it is a reason why I got a musician. Thanks to him and his musicians. Always a inspiration.
Este tema, escrito por Metheny, tiene un tremendo aire de tango. Pertenece al álbum Secret Story (tal vez uno de sus mejores álbumes )de 1992. Tuve la alegría de verlo en ese año con esa formación (David Blamires en acordeón,Mark Ledford en voces, Gil Goldstein en teclados ,Steve Rodby en base y Paul Wertico en batería
Sensuel, dans l'émotion, on se laisse emporter et la vie prend un bon chemin avec ces vrais musiciens que j'aime à écouter depuis déjà pas mal d'années...Excellent...
Piazzola y Metheny. Una maravillosa mezcla de Jazz y Tango de variadas intensidades y una sutil elegancia que lo hace incomparable. Antonia es una pieza única con la que se viaja de la melancolía al progresivo y de regreso. VIVA METHENY, VUELVE A MÉXICO.
GREAT song. This "Antonia" must be (or have been) quite jewel of a lady. He laid a beautiful track for her with a multi-dimensional structure that takes you through sweet smooth vibes to a mid & up-tempo snappy groove. Pat Metheny never loses a beat in the process of delivering this polished gem.
A tender and beautiful melody, clearly inspired by someone dear. Love the accordion accompaniment, they could have easily used a synthesizer, but the effect and visuals wouldn't be the same.
A favorite of mine. Note that the guitar part (PM) is accompanied by accordion (David Blamires) and whistling by the late, great Mark Ledford. If you watch the video “We live here” where this performance was taken, you will find out David Blamires does not play the accordion and learned this part on the accordion just for this song. He is a versatile and highly sought after musician who can play multiple instruments and sing. The same was true of Mark Ledford.
It truly is! What's funny to me is that as I was hearing the accordian I was thinking how much more tango-like it would be with an authentic bandoneon, like Astor's! LOL
@PurplePlayer99 I know when he played this so many years ago in Atlanta, a lady went up to him after the song ended and they kissed. At he time we were told that was his girlfriend.
Mr. Metheny is peculiarly methodical in an approach to his interpretation of an original score by another artist -- and he does it much better than most with little feedback from the original composer, who's thrilled to his/her hip-joints PM even considered doing a rendition of it(!) Well, how would you feel if a million-selling world-renowned artist decided to invest his own effort into a song you'd spent blood, sweat, years and tears to create and get published...? ...with, hopefully, a modicum of success? Can you pronounce the word, 'jump' ...?
I remember back in the day reading in the NME or was it watching the BBC that this dinosaurs record with GTR was SHT. Well I love it that the dinosaurs are still going strong and the new romantics and punks are looking slightly ridiculous in their make up and safety pins.
Quelle musique !!!!! Piazzolla n'est pas loin ... mais Pat est dedans .... ce sont les yeux un peu humides que je découvre et que j'écoute cette osmose musicale .....
i have the record thank god ! ( i don't believe in god but i love this record ! ) secret story ! maybe the best pat one ? still listen to it reguraly !

I'm assuming that you meant *whole-heartedly* ... RIP to your father and to Lyle Mays

It is a beautiful song based on TANGO
God used Pat for send message´s to Us.
Antonio me hace recordar a mi querida madre, su vida, sus luchas y batallas, y siempre lloro, pero un llanto de esperanza de poder encontrarnos nuevamente algún dia!
❤
My favorite tune from Pat. That says alot. He doesn't just make music, he makes moods
A friend I've know since age 1 died yesterday... and we shared a love for this tune. It's fitting on his passing. RIP Graham.
This guy is truly the greatest musician on earth.
I disagree in the universe ✨️

Con aires de Piazzolla
Definitivamente pienso que Pat Metheny es un músico iluminado. ¡Qué gran creación!
Absolute masterpiece/masterclass, harmonious, soulful, poetic, journey/odyssey of a song!
"Pat Metheny Group" music forever!
All his songs are really more than music ... they make me cry, they make me laugh, marvel & surprised. Every time i hear him playing, it is a new adventure.
And it is also a secret ... I wonder where he buys those striped Shirts ...lol
Saint James.
French brand.
The only one.

Pat make me go to Eter.
Pure art, candy for my ears.
Food for my soul.
While "Spring ain't here!" is my favorite PM song, this is
a close second. Thank you.
Me hace llorar...la escuchaba un año antes de casarme...me emociona😊
Piazzola y Metheny. Una maravillosa mezcla de Jazz y Tango de variadas intensidades y una sutil elegancia que lo hace incomparable.

VIVA METHENY, VUELVE A MÉXICO.
Esta obra de arte daqui 100 anos será reverenciada como obra prima... toca a alma dos sensíveis.
Great instrumentation on this song-I love the whistled theme.
Queeee barbaridad de canción... ... ... no me canso de escucharla...!!!
Antonia, this song is my favorite and the sensibility are fantastic.... I love
Il più grande di tutti i tempi !
Epically beautiful
Música que faz bem a alma! Pat é espetacular!!!!
Antonia, you are one lucky lady.
I just love this tune! Reminds me of walking along , alone past a fall burst of tree color on a winding lonely country road in Wisconsin.
I can't believe this album was 1992. Pat's always so ahead of his time.
No words!!! Just listen!!

Pure love
Tiene una onda francesa muy fuerte...lindo tema , con un instrumento típico francés como el acordeón...hermosa canción.
Sensacional, sensible, simplemente precioso...!!
Molt emotiu!!!
I never tire of this tune.
What a disturbingly beautiful piece of music
The best of the best of Pat Metheny
A favorite of mine. Note that the guitar part (PM) is accompanied by accordion (David Blamires) and whistling by the late, great Mark Ledford.

Patty forever!! He must be deeply in Love while writing this wonderful piece of music!
Awesome! What a great musician. Pat Metheny is an inspiration! Antonia is one of my favorite too
Pat Metheny is amazing !
It truly is! What's funny to me is that as I was hearing the accordian I was thinking how much more tango-like it would be with an authentic bandoneon, like Astor's! LOL
Great piece of heaven!
Que du bonheur à écouter Antonia,un des plus beaux morceaux de l'album SECRET STORY🎸💞

Gênio é pouco!!!!!!
Anyone know if this song was dedicated to someone. Love the solo section, so simple but fun to play to
@Nagao21 -Yes from 3.14 we get to groove from deep inside with life.
any BODY who enjoys creativity should listen to Pat Metheny
*RIP Mark Ledford (guy doing the "whistling" in this song) and Lyle Mays* (I think Gil Goldstein did keyboards on this particular concert)
I remember back in the day reading in the NME or was it watching the BBC that this dinosaurs record with GTR was SHT. Well I love it that the dinosaurs are still going strong and the new romantics and punks are looking slightly ridiculous in their make up and safety pins.
PRECIOSÍSIMA CANCIÓN, me llega a lo más profundo....¿quién la escribió?
Quelle musique !!!!!
Piazzolla n'est pas loin ...
mais Pat est dedans ....
ce sont les yeux un peu humides
