Singer/songwriter, film composer and pianist Patrick Watson, and singer/songwriter Charlotte Cardin, have released a new collaborative song today: “Gordon in the Willows.” Listen HERE. Haunting in its beauty and simplicity, the song unfurls over lightly arpeggiating piano and Cardin’s breathtaking voice covering a range of multiple octaves, until it disintegrates with a pulse rattling bass and echoing drums. He also announces a European and UK tour taking place in the fall 2025 at some of the biggest venues of his career. Check out the full tour below.
Watson, Polaris Music Prize recipient and Cardin, JUNO Award winner – wrote the lyrics together, and recorded the song last fall at Lost River Studios, in a rural lake village in Quebec, outside of Montreal where Watson has previously hosted his own music festival.
“A few months ago, Patrick played me a piano piece—just the music, no words—and the moment I heard it, it felt like the whisper of an old friend.” – Charlotte Cardin
“Charlotte and I had this magical music moment together. I wanted a song that felt like it came from a long time ago” – Patrick Watson
