This guy ruined 'bluebird'. He didn't capture the tone or rhythm of the poem.. Much better read.

He was such a lover of classical music, why say he'd hate this? Maybe he wouldn't. Maybe he'd appreciate the gesture. I like it. Even if the rhythm is wrong it's still that wonderful man's words over the music that he adored. Why try to put words in a dead man's mouth? Every interpretation in valid because it comes from a person honestly.

The pairing seems strange but it works. Kinda reminds me of Tom Waits.

I disagree, it was beautiful to listen to.
This lovely Bach prelude paired with the thoughtful, strained, yet serene, vocal line complements Bukowski's poem beautifully. And any first exposure to Buk, is good exposure.
