Ode to Vivian (Rework)

Patrick Watson is thrilled to share “Ode to Vivian (Rework)” a brand-new version of the song that first appeared on his album “Better in the Shade”. The song is inspired by one of Patrick’s heroes, the late American street photographer Vivian Maier. “She manages to catch just wonderful, unbelievable little moments that in the end are much louder than the big ones.” – Patrick Watson. 

The critically acclaimed album Better in the Shade is out everywhere now via Secret City Records. Better in the Shade has been embraced by NPR Music’s All Songs Considered, Exclaim!, Under the Radar, NewSounds, Cool Hunting, Brooklyn Vegan, Clash Magazine, and Northern Transmissions, among others.  

Watson has also recently announced the release of his first sheet music “Patrick Watson – Songbook Volume 1” set to be out November 11. To accompany this release, the singer-songwriter has been releasing piano tutorial to fans online to help them learn his songs. “Listening to music is great, but I can tell you playing it is better – so I encourage everybody to enjoy themselves and play the songs they love!”, tells us Patrick.
