Patrick’s voice is just too amazing ..

[Smoke]

Such a masterpiece!!! This song is gonna be playing at my funeral for sure ;)

[cinthiagutierrez]

This song is so moving. Never have I heard anything quite like it and it's ability to reflect, release and try again. At the very least the great escape is promised in the end and although we may want it sooner, living is to try again.

Such a beautiful person Patrick Watson, boy are you special. Listened to this song for years I'm glad there is a live version.

Bad day, looking for a way
Oh, looking for the great escape
Gets in his car and drives away
Far from all the things that we are
Puts on a smile and breaths it in and breaths it out
He says bye-bye, bye to all of the noise
Oh he says bye-bye bye to all of the noise

Hey child, things are looking down,
That’s OK you don’t need to win anyways
Don’t be afraid just eat up all the gray
And it will fade away
Don’t let yourself fall down

Bad day, looking for the great escape
He says bad day, looking for the great escape
On a bad day, looking for the great escape
Great escape

[Raygun]

Magnificent! The first song I ever heard from Patrick Watson that made me fall in love with his music.

I always come back to this performance because I already love the song but the deliverance Patrick brings is stunning. I always feel the words so deep in my soul when I listen.

There was a place in Highway 410 while driving bound for Toronto just before midnight whilst snowing lightly, when you will catch the full inspiration of this melody. Beautiful.

[maryespique]

This is my fight or flight song! It has been on my playlist for 10 years ever since I discovered it in Grey's Anatomy. Love your song Patrick! Keep safe! 🤍

[angelapsimenatos]

Sometimes I listen to such masterpieces and revel in the silences. All the unspoken emotions he captures so beautifully: fear, disappointment, grief, but ultimately he brings us back to ourselves.

[Gymtroopers]

Just woke up to this beautiful song, ever heard something so beautifully sung with meaning 😢

[h.banares]

Cada vez que la escucho, me conmueve aún más por vez...

[meekmaalik]

Was looking for the great escape by boys like girls and clicked thinking it was a cover… but stayed when I heard this mans amazing voice 😮 also realized I already listen to some of his music 😂 To Build A Home by him is beautiful❤

[suruocean]

Caramba desde 2014 ouço esse cara, e essa música já fez parte demais da minha vida.

[samespace]

Bad day, looking for the way home
Looking for the great escape
Gets in his car and drives away far, from all the things that we are
Puts on a smile and breathes it in and breathes it out he says
bye-bye bye to all of the noise
Oh he says bye-bye bye to all of the noise

Singin do ru dodo do-do do

do ru dodo do-do do ru do

Singin do ru dodo do-do do

do ru dodo do-do do ru do

Hey child things are looking down
That’s okay you don’t need to win anyways
Don’t be afraid just eat up all the grey, and it will fade all away

Don’t let yourself fall down
Don’t let yourself fall down

Singin do ru dodo do-do do

do ru dodo do-do do ru do

Singin do ru dodo do-do do

do ru dodo do-do do ru do

Oh what a bad day, looking for the great escape
He says bye-bye bye to all of the noise
Oh bad day, looking for the way back home
On a bad day, looking for the great escape.

Questo è quello che tifa rivedere i tuoi gusti musicali

[littleeagle]

I'm suicidal. That is why I am here. Lost my partner, lost his trust and his love.... I think I am in the end. I think I have nothing else left to live for. Yeah... No need to reply merciful comments... Just to think how fragile is life. How strong and sharp are the words...How we hurt without wanting. If you have still little hope, survive...and make peace with God...

[aycaramba]

Dont forget you can always sing do do ra ta toh do do ra ta toh - Don't let yourself fall down

[Mika_Sandy]

I discovered this amazing artist and beautiful song thanks to Grey's Anatomy
