Leonard Cohen and Philip Glass - Book of Longing: Prologue and I Can't Make the Hills

[sweetgypsywife]

This haunting piece of work is both depressing and touchingly beautiful

[kevinm46]

As a huge cohen fan iv'e got to say it's

great but good God it's depressing!

I think i'll go and listen to Dress rehearsal rag to cheer myself up!

@kevinm46 You just don't get Philip Glass. Just teasing you buddy. My mom says the same thing but if you once were 420 friendly or just a fan of minimalist classic it's okay. But you should watch the soundtrack he produced for the independant film on Yukio Mishima *huge name in japan litterature of the 60-70's)last year that brang him to his final act Hara Kiri. Anyway, sidetracked, this soundtrack is the same song - 12 differents ways, It took me like 5-6 times listenning the album to get it !

The words work with the music. This song/poem seems to manifest all of the depression I've ever felt.
