I put together a video for anyone interested (first one) - was playing around with a new video editor. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kC2hLk4Q9XI Lyrics & Vocals Leon I played guitar and sang a little.

I saw him on his last Oz tour - pure magic and played a few songs from my favourite album too. This is really sweet...the lead work REALLY works, the band rides behind the vocal and the lyrics flirt with religiosity in the way Laughing' Lenny so often did...from his songs and poems one would be hard pressed to pin his faith down or lack of it even. Lovely song and Leon delivers in spades. Cheers rayc "What's so funny about peace, love & understanding?" - N.Lowe

My only complaint is there are a lot of time the music overwhelms the vocal. -- David Cuny My virtual singer development blog Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Nicely paced with good transitions and images that work (the piano, drums and guitar inclusions work well, too). The mix used with the video is really good. I had no trouble catching ALL the lyrics. Leon's vocal is excellent. An excellent write. Good use of BIAB. Beautiful added guitar. Y'all should be proud. One of your best! fj 150+ Songs produced using BIAB RealTracks And 50 more... and some more...

This is a good good song, and I know Leonard Cohen would smile with pride at this wonderful gift of his life. You guitar sings to the heavens, Peter.

You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.com Add nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

I love well written songs where the lyrics stand tall on centre stage. Super writing! Leon, your delivery is perfect! Peter, you've created the perfect backing for this fine work.
