Unfortunately, I very strongly disagree. While the music itself is well composed, this song is the antithesis of the mood the poem was meant to inspire.
It's a desperate plea from a son to his dying father begging him to fight the inevitable end; to stir himself one last time even if only to curse his son's name. It should not be hypnotic. It should not be sonorous or soothing. It should stir your blood and bring tears to your eyes! The very poem itself should tell you that.
Good Job and Good poem, thx for the moment of peace

I like Dylan Thomas poetry, a lot.
I've always thought his readings were deeply and richly faithful to the initial meanings of the texts.
I still do. But this is a superior reading to Dylans. It is beautifully sonorous and hypnotically rhythmic.
Elements I believe Thomas neglected at his own loss.
Have you done a version of Fern Hill? There is a line in that poem that your voice can bring a new vibrant veritude to.
