Leonard Cohen - A Thousand Kisses Deep - 1996 Demo

Scene from the French documentary "Leonard Cohen Spring 96", shot in Leonard Cohen's cabin at Mt. Baldy Zen monastery by Armelle Brusq. Leonard Cohen is recording song A Thousand Kisses Deep, using Technics KN 3000 synthesizer. The track is apparently an early, demo version to different lyrics and complete different melody than one composed in collaboration with Sharon Robinson, for 2001 album Ten New Songs. Also, the poem included in the 2006 Book of Longing, recited during 2008 Tour, doesn't have some of lyrics from this demo.

I love it! He's in his Zen robe, in his Zen cabin, composing with his modern electronic components.

@Avitalstern "your love poems are all for Roshi [his Zen master] (now?)" - I'd say.

[crackfarm76]

i know mr. cohen is very much a perfectionist with his songs, so to let people actually film him somewhere in the writing process, well, i tip my hat....

[crackfarm76]

it's so cool he let these documentarians into his personal space, sharing some of his creative process with us....i love it...i think this video has inspired me more than any other...thanks so much for posting, can't thank you enough...i am so moved by this
