Sing to disappear like the whole world’s gone missing
Like a whisper in your ear, it’s telling you where you’re going
For the strangers that make it so sweet
Walk down your favourite street
Sing for the lost and found
That keeps you company while you wander around

Disappear so no one can hear
Dance like the world’s not watching
Somehow the streets they know your name
Where the words grow on walls like wildflowers

And the air tastes like sugar from the concrete’s fever
To the voice that helped you wander
You’re happy to go blind
Staring at the sun through someone else’s eyes

Para os perdidos e achados
Para as memórias que teimam em voltar
Canta para quem quer saber
Mesmo quando o mundo não está a ver

Canto de uma saudade
Um murmúrio na tua pele
A melodia por onde vais

Disappear so no one can hear
Dance like the world’s not watching
Somehow the streets they know your name

Dance like the world’s not watching
Somehow the streets they know your name

Sound like it should be interesting. Certainly unusual. Will probably take a number of listens to really get a handle on it. Unusual instrumentation, furshur. Opens with a tentative 6 from Naples on the Gulf




Dang but Teresa Salgueiro's voice is stunning in this framework. Pushing this to an easy 8.
I hear a trace of Art Garfunkle in his voice. Nothing wrong with that.

Absolutely. That would be beautiful.
ok. that is twice in one day. I like the song but...
J'adore Patrick Watson! Love the guy. From early stuff to now.
Could you play more from Patrick Watson, please! This is beautiful.

Mr. Watson has quite the symphonic imagination, and I always enjoy his interesting explorations. Thanks, RP!
Starting at a 7.  It's rather nice.
Asked my mini nest who was playing and it was such a mouthful I had to come to the computer and see.   Starting at at a 7
Close to Paradise was a good album.
