William Blake's London

[fernandpena]

Thank you for this version.

Today in other forms the "charter'd streets" still exist !!

I'm just a French singer, but I hope to work with the spirit and feeling which breathes in Blake.

Please can you tell me what you think of my work "Ode to William Blake." on my website: lezarts.info

I have no wish to discover this "wonderful man" in the words of his wife Catherine.

"The Almost sublime act Is To Another set before you." (Proverbs of Hell) W. Blake.

I love Blake, and your songs is so full of pathos that I almost felt his presence at my side. Just a suggestion: if you want the video to be more powerful add more images with the three victims Blake mentions: chimneysweepers, soldiers, prostitutes. Good luck

[Ramonesque]

@gselvatica Thank you for your support and suggestions. All the best

[geertjestube]

I think that William Blake would have felt honoured by your translation! Sounds great!

The song "History" by a band called The Verve was modeled after this tune, just a fun little bit of info!

I can't believe PJ made it onto the internet! This is classic footage...

Nice adaptation as well, you captured the essence of the poem i reckon ;-)

Cheers soopersnail, I hope I don't owe you any money!! Keep on keeping on.

@soopersnail Hey Rhod, poor old PJ passed away a couple of weeks ago. Very sad. Hope you are well.
