I can't make the hills The system is shot I’m living on pills For which I thank G-d I followed the course From chaos to art Desire the horse Depression the cart [...] I know she is coming I know she will look And that is the longing And this is the book
Wow. Am a big Cohen fan, but have just heard this for the first time. Hairs on my neck are still standing on end!
Saw LC live a couple of years back, and it was one of the best nights of my life. One of his poem recitals ( A Thousand Kisses Deep) had members of the audience in tears.
i love philip cohen but i thought the book of longing collaberation was disappointing. so did the rest of the concert hall...polite applause, no encore.
αυτό ειδικά το κομμάτι, της ουβερτούρας, ήταν ένα αριστούργημα. συνολικά, μου άρεσε, εκ των υστέρων που ακούω τη μουσική το εκτιμώ όλο και περισσότερο :-)
Well, even though I am a huge Glass fan, every so often I'm not happy with some piece. Needless to say he recycles a lot of his musical ideas and repeats his music incessantly, which is part of what he does, as it determines the uniqueness of his voice. However, some parts of Book of Longing seemed a bit uninspired to me, especially the vocal melodies, which seemed to be lacking. The piece as a whole reminded me very much of Hydrogen Jukebox, some of whose parts I can bring a similar about.

Δεν μπορώ να ανέβω τις πληγές το σύστημα κατέρρευσε
παίρνω χάπια για να ζω για αυτό δοξάζω το θεό
Πήρα το δρόμο που οδηγεί από το χάος στην τέχνη
πόθος είναι το άλογο και άμαξα η θλίψη
Αρμένισσα σαν κύκνος βυθίστηκα σαν βράχος
μα πέρασε ο καιρός το γέλιο είναι παρελθόν

Κατάλευκη η σελίδα μου το μελάνι μου αραιό πολύ
η μέρα αντιστεκόταν στην γραφή όσων η νύχτα επινοεί
Το ζώο μου ουρλιάζει ο αγγελός μου είναι θυμωμένος
μα δεν έχω περιθώριο να φανώ μετανιωμένος
Όποια θελήσει να κάνει χρήση αυτού που δεν μπορούσα να είμαι
η καρδιά μου απρόσωπα δικής της θα ναι

Θα πάρει ένα μονοπάτι θα δει πια είναι η σημασία
στα δυό κομμένη η θέληση μου κι ανάμεσα η ελευθερία
Σε κλάσματα δευτερολέπτου θα συγκρουστούν οι ζωές μας
θα αιωρηθεί η απεραντοσύνη και η πόρτα ορθάνοικτη θα μείνει
Και τότε αυτή θα γεννηθεί μέσα σε κάποιον σαν κι εσένα
αυτό που κανείς δεν έχει κάνει αυτή θα συνεχίσει να το κάνει
Ξέρω πως θαρθει ξέρω πως θα κοιτάξει
Εδώ είναι ο πόθος εδώ και το βιβλίο

i wonder what's better/more preferable:
1. an artform about a fictional character
2. an artform about the creator
3. an artform about anyone

If you don't mind my asking, where does the photo at the very end come from? Very intriguing.....
Thanks,

I'm so glad I found this clip. I was so excited when I heard about Glass and Cohen's collaboration....and I loved the result!
I always loved Leonard, but found out about Glass after listening to his music from "The Hours" (I was blown away by that album for some reason)..
Anyway, so glad they decided to work together - some quality music and heart in this artificial and fake world

Τελικά δεν ήταν όσο καλό όσο το ελπίζαμε...κάποια κομμάτια ήταν πολύ ωραία αλλά κάποια άλλα μάλλον μέτρια...

humdrum? that's like saying the dew on the morning grass is liquid. Nothing that this man does is hum-drum. His music and poetry is perfection!
