I go very hot and cold on Pat Metheny's various projects. I'm not sure I was too crazy about the CD this is on, but this particular song always made me very homesick for Ohio while I was living in Chicago a few years ago. Brings back whistful memories...

There's a great jazz player in my town, Shane Conoway, who just nails this piece. He's a Metheny freak.
Very cool.

This is hilarious but totally incorrect. This a great song and I for one would love to get a root canal while this played in the background. Now sit there for five minutes while the anesthesia sets in.

Shouldn't there be an emergency phone in this elevator?

I was a big fan of Mr. Metheny years ago. Now I remember why. This is just what I needed today.

One of the many Metheny songs that I use in my late night soundtracks.
The vocals are really errie but seem to fit the mood of the song.
Great song.....

I think it reflects the feeling of personal calm in a sea of frenetic energy. Like sitting in a kayak looking over at the traffic on Lake Shore Drive as the sun sets behind the Chicago skyline . . .

Gawd I don't want to be at work today.

Now we have $0.04!

This is an amazing track. Yes, there is a hi-hat, but most of what you're hearing is actually wire brushes on a snare. I find it provides the perfect complement to the rest of the track---the nostalgic reverb and bright chords offset the tension of the constant brushwork quite well. Great video as well. Even better live. In fact, PM is the most amazing group live

Agreed. Could've been a great background for a high energy song.
