Friday Photos

22 january 2010

This Friday's photos are from the Patrick Watson gig we went to as part of the Sydney Festival. Was a tranquil and intimate gig, and as I haven't seen Patrick live before... it turned out to be candy for my ears... it was bliss. I particularly loved the fact that they make music with unlikely objects. Mingling sounds from a deflating balloon, a saw, and megaphone into songs seamlessly like that was their intended purpose.

As Patrick played 'To Build a Home' my eyes closed momentarily, allowing the piano keys to ripple over my ribs, and stir up emotions that only a live performance, and a hushed crowd can. Patrick's harmonic voice was a real treat.

P.S. Dolly Parton, if you're reading this, you really should consider doing a duet with Patrick; the song he wrote for you is great.
