Let's talk music, no genre boundaries

I am posting a song by Leonard Cohen which I think is as close to poetry as a song can get. As you listen to the lyrics, I suggest that you not think about what it means. Poetry is the art of bypassing the logical mind which stands in the way of much deep understanding. Rather, just feel the lines and the story they tell. No need to think about what it means. If you are moved by it, then that is enough. The song is "Joan of Arc" and it is sung by Judy Collins off the same album as "Tom Thumb Blues."

Here is one more rather complex song by Leonard Cohen off the same Judy Collins album. I think these are two of his best songs. I think that's part of the reason Judy Collins was so famous--she chose great material hot off the presses.

I liked all the songs you posted, but I was most moved by the first one by Masha Vahdat. It was beautiful. The last one with shifting pictures of Shakti, I wish I could understand the lyrics. I found those images of her quite intriguing.

One of the greatest modern composer after Scriabin i love very much (after Weil and Glass and Sorabji and Feinberg) is a pupil of Bruckner : Robert Simpson.

I read his book on Bruckner...

He is an astonishingly interesting composer . 11 symphonie and 15 quartet...

Try him ...
