• THIRD STONE FROM THE SUN - Pat Metheny
• America - Pat Metheny

Star fleet to scout ship, please give your position. over.
Im in orbit around the third planet from the star called
The sun. over.
You mean its the earth? over.
Positive. it is known to have some form of intelligent species. over.
I think we should take a look.
Strange beautiful grass of green,
With your majestic silver seas
Your mysterious mountains I wish to see closer
May I land my kinky machine?
Strange beautiful, grass of green
With your majestic silver seas
Your mysterious mountains I wish to see closer
May I land my kinky machine?
Although your world wonders me,
With your majestic and superior cackling hen
Your people I do not understand,
So to you I shall put an end
And youll
Never hear
Surf music again
Secret
Oh, secret

This Is Not America - The Song
Words and music by David Bowie and Pat Metheny.
This is not America, sha la la la la
A little piece of you
The little peace in me
Will die [This is not a miracle]
For this is not America
Blossom fails to bloom
This season
Promise not to stare
Too long [This is not America]
For this is not the miracle
There was a time
A storm that blew so pure
For this could be the biggest sky
And I could have
The faintest idea
[For this is not America, sha la la la la, sha la la la la, sha la la la la
This is not america, no, this is not, sha la la la la]
Snowman melting
From the inside
Falcon spirals
To the ground [This could be the biggest sky]
So bloody red
Tomorrow's clouds
A little piece of you
The little piece in me
Will die [This could be a miracle]
For this is not America
There was a time
A wind that blew so young
For this could be the biggest sky
And I could have the faintest idea
[For this is not America, sha la la la la, sha la la la la, sha la la la la
This is not america, no, this is not, sha la la la
This is not america, no, this is not

Famous quotes by Pat Metheny:

"I like to explore the full gamut of possibilities ... as many possibilities as possible. With David's saxophone in the mix we have a full palette to work from. With the four of us together on stage, watch out."

"With Christian, Antonio and David, I will mix it up, as usual, some tunes as a Trio, some as a Quartet, extended duet sections, and more,"

"We were all having so much fun playing off each other. I knew that my next tour in the fall had to have as many dates with David as possible."

"It was a fantastic set,"

"In their relatively short careers, they've changed everything,"

"There's more bad music in jazz than any other form. Maybe that's because the audience doesn't really know what's happening."

"I think I have a basic sound aesthetic that is in most of what I do."

"I was deep in the zone of practicing almost constantly."

"The beauty of jazz is that it's malleable. People are addressing it to suit their own personalities."

"I realized that equipment really had little to do with why I sound like the way I sound."

"From 1962 to 1965, the guitar became this icon of youth culture, thanks mostly to the Beatles."

"I was able to work with the best musicians in Kansas City starting when I was really young."

"It's more about conception and touch and spirit and soul than whether my hardware was in place."

"My older brother Mike is an excellent trumpet player. By the time he was 12, he was playing around Kansas City in classical situations. He was already an amazing talent."

"I hate the way chorus boxes sound."

"Whatever my recorded output is, it's a reflection of a general love of music."

"Jazz is not something that can be defined through blunt instruments. It is much more poetic than that."

"The first thing I learned was the theme from Peter Gunn."

"Listening is the key to everything good in music."

"People sometimes say it takes a long time to become a jazz fan, but for me it took about five seconds."
