In brief - it is wonderful!
. Love the little moments, ie. in part 3 where he's got his headphones on and he's listening to himself and he's saying 'this is good...it's good to have your voice amplified....yeah, it's good...thank you very much..' . So often he can be self-depricating. It's great to see that he was enjoying his voice as we do all the time.
I do that everyday singing to one of his tunes. B4real wrote: I especially love the bit near the end when Leonard is sitting in the car, singing his song to the radio.
Reverse osmosis.
.........I've never been very clear on whether or not Never Any Good was an outtake from The Future (my original assumption), but having watched this I'm wondering if it was recorded while on Mt. Baldy? (the early Thousand Kisses is pretty fun to hear, too)The verse of Thousand Kisses Deep that Leonard sings here is essentially the same as the "new" verse he recited during the Madison Square Garden concert in October. I really enjoyed hearing it in this context, and hearing it sung was interesting too. In an interview on NPR's FreshAir in 2006 he talked about how there were some verses that were to be sung, and others that were to be recited, and in the printed version in The Book of Longing, the recited version comes first as "1" and the sung version as "2". I guess he was still figuring that out here, as well as the melody itself.astranger wrote: (the early Thousand Kisses is pretty fun to hear, too)
yep. i'm pretty sure he recited the same version at all the concerts; changing up the final stanzas sometime this past year. I hadn't heard him sing the "recited" verses, so that was cool. I definitely think that, by and large, he had the right instinct and left the proper verses to their respective arenas. Both versions (TNS and Live versions) are exquisite.sue7 wrote:The verse of Thousand Kisses Deep that Leonard sings here is essentially the same as the "new" verse he recited during the Madison Square Garden concert in October.
