Take this waltz

Post by O'Kane »

Good evening - and greetings from Belfast.

Just found the forum, and I'm very impressed. . .

I'm a second generation Leonard fan, and I'd like to start my forum career by asking about LC's song Take this waltz.

Is there any inside story behind the song? Is it specifically about any actual person or event, or is it just the result of his muse moving him in a particular way?

I was in Vienna a couple of weeks ago, for an academic conference. The city has to be seen to be believed. . .

well, there are several stories about how Leonard fell in love with Lorca who wrote the poem that the song was based on, and you can find some of them using Search option on this Forum.
