This Is For You - a poem by Leonard Cohen

[wovokanarchy]

How GAY!

[tSIXe666]

very nicely done!Cohen is one of the most brilliant writers to come to my ear's doorstep,welcomed in as a wonderous guest of concept and missed dearly every time he goes.you did his poetry justice though I would've prefered to hear it read by the man,himself(I think his writings are served best in his deep,melancholy tone.)but,still,this is a great offering..a postcard issued verbatim via two distinctly different aural purveyors..your interpretation speaks in the gaps where words sometimes fail.

I just realized that you are blessed!! Thank you for sharing this with us. I bookmarked this months ago and just had time to come say how much I like it. I never tire of hearing you read or sing poetic words.

Thank you. I know that I am blessed.

[worldpeaz]

This is so very beautiful - I happened upon it and I am grateful. Magnificent ~ the precious tenderness in the expression of the verse and the peaceful, gentle sound of the music. This video is a blessing ~ Namaste

[hdanijel]

his hands seem so big :)

[TokeThe1andOnly]

Very sympatico - the voice to the uke - as in made for each other. It sounds like a reading from someone other than the author. "Quiet" needs something or it could just soften away...

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thank you.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thank you.

[cristinazugun]

5 stars, for sure!

Really, really well done, Ken.

Excellent timing, phrasing, volumes, expression...

It's just 100 percent in every way.

Very rarely is a poem delivered so appropriately

and engagingly.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Shas, these are really kind comments. I appreciate your support and encouragement.

[BaronK69]

Very soulful delivery Ken. Brilliant! You've got a perfect voice for reciting poems. (But I almost get mad with envy with people who can write lyrics like Cohen, Dylan, Neil and those guys...)

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thanks R. That was quick. I think you actually watched the video before me.
