Hi

I'm new here and so have no idea which forum this should go in!

Does anyone know of, or have a decent quality recording of the spoken word A Thousand Kisses Deep he's been performing recently? I saw him in Edinburgh and was captivated. I've watched a few on youtube (if anyone hasn't heard this - I recommend you check this out:

Also, does anyone know the piece of music being played in the background?

Thanks

Rob

Alternatively, I may make a composite of these two

(open two tabs and play them both at the same time)

Good spot. It is similar to Barber's Adagio. Reminded me of it too.

The YouTube combo isn't as effective as the live recital - Cohen's reading of the poem is a bit too pacey and not as involving.

No do not know the background music. I too wanted to get a version of this that was not recorded from a concert. ie The London 02. Because you have the cheering and interruption on that one. Nothing wrong in that but I would love to have it spoken without that as well. I was at that concert and it was incredible that 20,000 people and you could hear a pin drop at times when he recited that.
