The problem MaryB is that it is not passing through your head, it is on a loop!

a) The Book of Longing Demo- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_LvBbYOuQA
b) The 85 There is a War- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uAXTT9fmmDc
c) The Live in London A Thousand Kisses Deep- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JO9PzyXNvS8
I am extremely grateful to you for uploading The Book of Longing Demo track to YouTube. I can't tell you how many times I've listened to that song. I really hope that song isn't forgotten when it comes time to produce his next album. I think it's one of his stronger pieces of work, lyrically. I believe there are a few differences from the original poem (if I remember correctly) -- it is beautiful.

A Thousand Kisses Deep -- I am so pleased to have heard Leonard recite the selected verses in poetic form, however, I list the SONG "A Thousand Kisses Deep" among some of Leonard's best work and I would have loved to hear him perform the song on his last tour. Does anyone know if Leonard has ever performed the song in concert?
Waterbury, CT - May 14, 2009
Las Vegas, NV - Dec 11, 2010 (Final Show of Leonard's 3 year World Tour) INCREDIBLE!
Boston, MA - Dec 15, 2012 (Best L.C. concert I've been to!)

Throughout the tour, it was never sung, only spoken - but, oh how well it was spoken!!
