Who LC was in a past life? That's an interesting question :) . My guess is that he was somekind of wiseman or shaman. He definitly has more charisma and wisdom than the average mortal...

Yes that's true! That album quite openly emotional. I was thinking mostly about some of his more recent stuff. New Skin for an Old Ceremony is also very emotional. I wasn't trying to say that his voice is not emotional. On the contrary it is very much so. He just delivers his emotions in a very cont...

Hi Elizabeth It's funny, my experience has been different. Most of the French people I know find his music boring (there are a few exceptions however). And most of the English people I know are much more able to appreciate his poetry; the complexity of it. His voice is a very important part of his m...

I have to agree with you Elizabeth. He has a very emotional voice. I say monotonous because he doesn't try to force on the emotion like most singers. The emotion is just simply there. I just think that it is amazing that he has so much control. And most of the people I drove crazy when I would alway...

Thank you Elizabeth, It is true what you say about the timelessness of his words and lyrics. Even after five years I have lived many experiences that have allowed me to reinterprete his songs in new and increasingly complex ways. I don't think it is possible to ever tire of his words. I've heard sto...

Hi Greta, I don't think that it is possible to hate his music! Not if you are already hooked! I totally understand how you feel. The first few months after I discovered LC, I felt like I was always in a trance. I drove my roomates absolutely crazy by listening to his CDs over and over again! I tried...

Hi I'm new to this board. I really enjoyed reading all of your messages. It is amazing how LC has been able to inspire so many people with his music. I was 19 when I first discovered his music. Some friends had told me that I would probably like his lyrics so I went out and bought a "best of&qu...
