Leonard Cohen - A Thousand kisses deep
(Spoken poem) Don't matter if the road is long Don't matter if it's steep Don't matter if the moon is gone And the darkness is complete Don't matter if we lose our way It's written that we'll meet At least, that's what I heard you say A thousand kisses deep I loved you when you opened Like a lil
y to the heat You see, I'm just another snowman Standing in the rain and sleet Who loved you with his frozen love His second hand physique With all he is and all he was A thousand kisses deep I know you had to lie to me I know you had to cheat You learned it on your father's knee And at your mother
's feet But did you have to fight your way Across the burning street When all our vital interests lay A thousand kisses deep I'm turning tricks I'm getting fixed I'm back on boogie street I'd like to quit the business But I'm in it, so to speak The thought of you is peaceful And the file on you com
plete Except what I forgot to do A thousand kisses deep Don't matter if you're rich and strong Don't matter if you're weak Don't matter if you write a song The nightingales repeat Don't matter if it's nine to five Or timeless and unique You ditch your life to stay alive A thousand kisses deep The
ponies run The girls are young The odds are there to beat You win a while, and then it's done Your little winning streak And summon now to deal with your invincible defeat You live your life as if it's real A thousand kisses deep I hear their voices in the wine That sometimes did me seek The band i
s playing Auld Lang Syne But the heart will not retreat There's no forsaking what you love No existential leap As witnessed here in time and blood A thousand kisses deep

His liquor-scored ... ( 1 month ago by youngleonardcohen)
His liquor-scored voice, stark and pensive, is by itself deeply affecting, and the alternate lyrics in my opinion surpass those set to the music. But I think this would be immaculate if the spoken-word served as prologue to a video of the recorded song.

What planet is this man from? Where does he get this? If I could write one sentence in my lifetime that could compare I would be so grateful! But even though I have been on the same planet, breathing the same air, speaking the same language, I never come up with metaphors and melody even close. Well, I love his work and my ears and heart rejoice when I hear him.

I was thinking to make a mix using this spoken poem with the Chris Botti version. But I'm not sure... I agree that it would be great to have the poem and then the song. I'll do that. Regards!!

I think that there's not "one" interpretation to this. Every poem is incomplete in the sense that is the job of the reader to "complete the circle". Anyway, I think that the phrase "a thousand kisses deep" have different meanings according to the verse. In general, I understand it as something you say or do with passion, honestly, profound, when there's a strong and deep connection, when you speak from the depth of your being, and everything you say is incarnated within your gestures :)

I've come to Leonard's music late in life, I remember Suzanne when it was first released but that was then and this is now.I am certainly a different person, as is the world. If you liked this song check out "Alexandra Leaving". Enjoy!

I, also, have come to know this musician late in life. I'm 51 years old, and somehow missed this brilliant musician! Had Jason Castro not sang 'Hallelujah' on American Idol, I guess I would have missed this fellow completely. But for the life of me, I don't know how I missed him. He is absolutely brilliant!! Thanks Jason!!!

when i was a boy i adored this man with a kind of desperate infatuation which, i guess, stems from loneliness. now that i am a grown man, and have a family of my own who love me, i feel we are kind of friends who meet very occasionally but have an intense relationship regardless. maybe one day when i am old, and there is no love and hope for me in this world, i will finally understand him.

Or maybe you lack the courage to explore his ideas on your own, without the co-dependency of a "family"? Maybe you were an artist without the balls to create anything?

So I'm having a perfectly good day and then I listen to this again and ... oh Leonard Cohen, how you reach out over the space and time and touch me.. again and I come back ..for more .. of my own life .. that passed through that door ... a long time ago. (He makes a simple person long to be a poet)
